If health is our most precious treasure, stress is a menacing thief trying
to rob us of it every day. And if you're not diligently protecting your
health against potential break-ins, chances are you'll lose it
without any warning.
Stress negatively affects our health in many ways, but perhaps the most
devastating is its effect on our Nerve System. Studies have shown a
link between stress and a phenomena called
Sympathetic Dominance – a condition where the 'fight or flight'
functions of your Nerve System become chronically overactive, leading
to overload in organic functions, fatigue and eventually disease (1). The good news…
When stress is trying to rob you blind, Chiropractic care is the vault
protecting your most valuable assets. Just don't use it for bad backs
and bad necks. You can rely on regular adjustments
to safeguard your nerve system and preserve your WHOLE health.
It's for so much more than pain relief.
Something to consider…

text: Profane, profound and poignant, this memoir manages to transfer much of Pryor's comic genius to the page. Aided by Gold, People magazine's Los Angeles deputy bureau chief, Pryor juxtaposes his reflections with italicized comic bits that show how he-and characters like the seen-it-all Mudbone-transmute life into comedy. Pryor grew up among whorehouses and nightclubs in Peoria, Ill., a perfect perch from which to observe racism and hypocrisy. Driven to the stage by "pain and insecurity," Pryor soon overindulged in drugs and women. But it took him years to evolve on stage from a colorless Cosby clone to a bard of the ghetto. Pryor's volatile personal life-as well as Hollywood's racism, he alleges-hindered his movie career, but he built a rich body of work on television, in concert films and on stage. His story careens between topics and episodes, including his abusive relationship with women (six marriages to date), his epiphanies in Africa and his notorious self-immolation while freebasing cocaine. Now, as Pryor fights multiple sclerosis, he reflects proudly on his work and vows he has much more to do. Photos not seen by PW.

Queen causes 'Sheer Heart Attack' in 1974
Fall 1974 was a tempestuous time on the British rock scene. Particularly if you were a guitarist.
Ariel Bender left Mott The Hoople. Mick Taylor was on his way out of The Rolling Stones. Adrian Fisher was sacked by Sparks. And Brian May, if the rumor mill was telling the truth, was about to leave Queen.

Queen causes 'Sheer Heart Attack' in '74 Part 3
Collectors and archivists have registered a handful of surviving outtakes, but little of it sets the pulse racing — instrumental versions of "Tenement Funster," "Flick Of The Wrist" and "In The Lap Of The Gods… Revisited," and an early take of "Brighton Rock." But the band also recorded a "new" version of the musical-hall standard "Oh, I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside."

Follow the 'Shooting Star' of Paul Rodgers, Part 4
In 2004, Rodgers was invited to close the first Annual U.K. Music Hall of Fame Awards show with "All Right Now." Having just played the song on "The Strat Pack" DVD, celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Fender Stratocaster, with Brian May, Rodgers called May to see about performing the song again at the awards show.

Why Ambarella (AMBA) Is Down Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Ambarella (AMBA - Get Report) fell 10.8% to $31.78 Wednesday after a downgrade to "hold" from "buy" by Needham & Company.
The electronics company showed off reference designs for its new wearable cameras at CES this week. Analyst N. Quinn Bolton was impressed by the wearables, which will be used for Google's (GOOG) Helpout service, but noted that "it will take time for the wearables market to develop into a meaningful revenue opportunity." The analyst downgraded the stock to "hold" because "we see the near-term risk/reward in the stock as balanced."
TheStreet Ratings team rates AMBARELLA INC as a Hold with a ratings score of C-. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about its recommendation:
"We rate AMBARELLA INC (AMBA) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed ? some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its notable return on equity, robust revenue growth and largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures. However, as a counter to these strengths, we find that the stock itself is trading at a premium valuation."
Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- Compared to other companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment industry and the overall market, AMBARELLA INC's return on equity exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- The revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 10.4%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 28.9%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- AMBA has no debt to speak of therefore resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of zero, which we consider to be a relatively favorable sign. Along with this, the company maintains a quick ratio of 5.15, which clearly demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
- The gross profit margin for AMBARELLA INC is rather high; currently it is at 64.38%. Regardless of AMBA's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 19.84% trails the industry average.

Is Traditional Marriage On Its Last Legs?
By daneldridge
At any rate, the two of us had been dating for about six months when it became glaringly obvious that our relationship was much more than just a series of meaningless flings. In other words: Without actually intending to, we had fallen in love with each other. And that was when things got even more interesting than they already were.
At first, we made the same dumb jokes every young couple in love likes to pretend they came up with: We laughed about how funny it would be to get married, just as an excuse to score free gifts. To us, this was considerably funnier than it might be to most people, because Carrie Ann - my girlfriend - doesn't believe in the institution of marriage any more than I do. And incidentally, neither one of us intends to have children.
One night a few months back, neither one of us could seem to fall asleep, so we appeased ourselves by making ice cream sundaes and watching bad cable. We ended up stumbling upon some goofball who was speaking about the myriad joys of his "Life Partnership" - he was talking about his relationship - and because we were in a particularly goofy mood and had the giggles, we both immediately broke out into howls of laughter.
Carrie Ann and I are big fans of in-jokes, so after that night, we naturally began referring to each other as "life partners". We even dreamt up the idea of organizing a "Life Partner Ceremony". This was an idea we found especially hilarious. (We tend to take our in-jokes a little too far - especially the bad ones.) At any rate, the concept behind the Life Partner Ceremony was this: If Carrie Ann and I ever decided to spend the remainder of our lives together, we wouldn't actually have to go through with the process of becoming legally wed.
Instead, we would simply gather together our families and best friends in a small ceremony, and then proclaim to them our intention to live together – forever - in cohabiting bliss. As life partners, of course. We were already fantasizing about the toaster ovens, and the gift registries at Crate & Barrel, and Pottery Barn, and Pier One...
And then over time, the jokes about getting "fake married", as we called it, and about living together forever, started to become less and less funny. Eventually we decided it might actually be, you know... nice to make a public commitment to each other, and to share that moment with our families and close friends. And after all, by that point we had both managed to admit to each other our respective desires to stay together forever.
And yet neither Carrie Ann's opinion about traditional marriage, nor mine, had changed one bit: We still weren't interested. Nor were we interested in having a ceremony in a church, or on a beach, and we sure as hell weren't going to lay out $10,000 for a pile of cheap party favors, a photographer, and a big cake.
And that was when it hit us: Maybe we actually were on the road to inventing something special, after all. I can't remember which one of us suggested it first, but after talking about it and joking about it for months, we eventually just shrugged our shoulders, and decided to jump in, feet first.

> From: Paul Davis
> VST3 allows the GUI to run in a different process?
" The design of VST 3 suggests a complete separation of processor and edit
controller by implementing two components. Splitting up an effect into these
two parts requires some extra efforts for an implementation of course.
But this separation enables the host to run each component in a different
context. It can even run them on different computers. Another benefit is
that parameter changes can be separated when it comes to automation. While
for processing these changes need to be transmitted in a sample accurate
way, the GUI part can be updated with a much lower frequency and it can be
shifted by the amount that results from any delay compensation or other
processing offset."
> > The host needs to see every parameter tweak. It needs to be between the
Yeah. It's important to realise that at any instant 3 entities hold a
parameter's value:
-The audio processer part of the plugin.
-The GUI Part.
-The Host.
A parameter change can come from several sources:
- The GUI.
- The Host's automation playback.
- A MIDI controller.
- Sometimes the Audio processor (e.g. VU Meter).
If several of these are happening at once, some central entity needs to give
one priority. For example if a parameter/knob is moving due to automation
and you click that control - the automation needs to relinquish control
until you release the mouse. The host is the best place for this logic.
Think of the host as holding the parameter, the GUI and Audio processor as
'listeners'. Or the host's copy of the parameter as the 'model' and the GUI
and audio processor as 'views' (Model-View-Controller pattern).

Welcome to Hyperion Records, an independent British classical label devoted to presenting high-quality recordings of music of all styles and from all periods from the twelfth century to the twenty-first.
Hyperion offers both CDs, and downloads in a number of formats. The site is also available in several languages.
Please use the dropdown buttons to set your preferred options, or use the checkbox to accept the defaults.
Two further new Hyperion recordings this month bring very different choral repertoire to the catalogue. Stephen Rice and his accomplished Brabant Ensemble have recorded two Masses and some motets by Cipriano de Rore in a rare programme dedicated to the madrigalian master's neglected sacred output. Wells Cathedral Choir presents an extensive survey of Choral works by Judith Bingham; first recordings abound and the full diversity of this composer is apparent, not least through the organ-playing of Jonathan Vaughn and Matthew Owens' inspired direction.
Re-issued this month are Emma Kirkby and Anthony Rooley's seminal Time stands still (perfectly, if lengthily, subtitled 'Lute songs on the theme of mutability and metamorphosis by John Dowland and his contemporaries'), and the two wonderful Rachmaninov Piano Trios in recommended performances from The Moscow Rachmaninov Trio.
Antony Pitts' Jerusalem-Yerushalayim is a new oratorio here receiving its first recording in an electrifying performance by the composer's own crack ensemble Tonus Peregrinus (and a sizeable supporting cast); this is a first offering from the label 1equalmusic. Also included is a taster of what is on offer from APR, the specialist historical piano label whose CDs and downloads are now available via Hyperion; released this month are Moura Lympany's HMV Recordings, 1947-1952.

Marin County officials are planning a community forum Tuesday to discuss the implementation of Assembly Bill 4, an immigration bill also known as the Trust Act.
Under the legislation, which was signed by Gov. Jerry Brown in October, local law enforcement agencies are barred from detaining people on federal immigration holds after their local cases are resolved, unless they have been convicted of certain serious or violent crimes.
The law is intended to prevent people from being held without due process and from being deported erroneously.
The Legislature also said the federal government has not been reimbursing the state for the full cost of the detainers.
The forum is being sponsored by the Marin County Board of Supervisors. The invited panelists include Sheriff Robert Doyle, District Attorney Ed Berberian, Public Defender Jose Varela and Angie Junck, an attorney with the Immigrant Legal Resource Center in San Francisco.
"I think it's helpful for the sheriff and others to clarify how the Trust Act will be handled at the local level and for residents to voice any concerns they may have," Varela said.

(Christian Petersen/Getty Images)Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Anquan Boldin has rejected the team's request to cut his salary and is preparing to test the free-agent market, USA Today's Jarrett Bell reported on Saturday.Boldin had previously said that he would rather retire than play for another team if the Ravens released him, but now it appears that he has changed his tune. Boldin has one year remaining on a four-year, $25 million contract. He is due to make $6 million next season. His cap number is about $7.5 million, a number the Ravens want to cut to be able to sign free agent linebacker Dannell Ellerbe and look at other moves.At 32, Boldin could have a few suitors in free agency. He played a key role in the Ravens' road to a Super Bowl XLVII victory over the San Francisco 49ers. In four games this postseason, Boldin had 22 receptions for 380 yards and four touchdowns. He caught two touchdown passes in the Ravens' AFC Championship win over the New England Patriots in Foxboro and added a touchdown in the Ravens' 34-31 Super Bowl win.When the Ravens locked up quarterback Joe Flacco to a record-setting contract this week, he said he hoped that the Ravens would be able to retain Boldin."He's a big part of this offense," Flacco said. "He's a big reason why I'm standing here talking to you guys." Promoted Stories Comments

The medical devices industry, which was once acclaimed for its high-paying jobs and research and development opportunities, has been subject to the much controversial 2.3% medical device excise tax since its enactment in the beginning of 2013. Sequestration-related spending cuts to the U.S. federal budget have also undermined the medical devices industry's prospects. In fact, this has significantly restricted the industry's bottom-line improvement in the past year. Partial Repeal: A Boon? However, as a slight respite, in Jan 2014, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) got a $1 billion or 3.5% boost to its fiscal 2014 budget from the prior-year post-sequestration budget (according to fiscal 2014 Omnibus Appropriations bill, released on Jan 13, 2014). According to a statement by appropriators, this hike, although insignificant, is expected to result in 385 million new grant opportunities for researchers compared to 2013. We note that the sequestration, which resulted in a 5.5% cut in the NIH fiscal 2013 budget, resulted in 640 fewer grants in 2013. Apart from NIH, the National Institutes of Standards and Technology, The National Science Foundation (NSF), health professions and nursing workforce development programs are some of the others to gain from this bill. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has also managed to get $2.552 billion through this omnibus spending package, a $166 million (7%) increase over the fiscal 2013 post-sequestration funding level. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) received a $370 million or 6.8% increase over the year-ago post-sequestration funding level. Situation Remains Bleak Even more than three months after the Senate passed the Omnibus Appropriations bill, the research funding scenario continues to look bleak. Most economists are of the opinion that with cost of research rising astronomically, this nominal revision can hardly bring any reprieve. While the additional funding for NIH will help sustain current projects and begin funding for new research grants, this is still $714 million short of NIH's pre-sequestration budget. Further, things are not at all cheery for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). While the bill included $3.7 billion for the CMS, this was $195 million less than what was enacted in the previous fiscal. Unless totally repealed or replaced, these spending cuts will last through 2021. NIH expects sequestration to turn graver in the coming years leading to serious consequences like delaying progress in medical breakthroughs, deterioration in job creation and tempering of economic growth. An NBC news article recently noted that many new researchers, who were trained with the U.S. taxpayers' money, may have to move to Europe and Asia where government funding for medical research is on the rise. Moreover, the medical device excise tax is taking a heavy toll on the MedTech sector, hurting pricing decisions of companies and subjecting them to tremendous margin pressure. The 2.3% excise tax (effective Jan 2013), which is imposed on the sales price instead of net profit, amounts to a sizable sum, wiping out almost a quarter of the profit at the med instrument owners. The big players are trying out ways to change their business model and cost structure to accommodate the excise tax. These companies are undertaking various restructuring initiatives to counter costs incurred from the implementation of the new tax. Restructuring especially to offset the effect of the excise tax has already been adopted by several key players. The companies are also trying to focus on strategic mergers and acquisitions (M&A), emerging market expansion or are reducing operations in order to weather the tax burden. M&A Activities MedTech M&A continues unabated in 2014. Wary of an uncertain economy, MedTech giants have resorted to the acquisition route to harness their strengths and diversify offerings. The first quarter earnings season in the medical device sector kicked off with such a mega acquisition announcement. Last week, on its earnings call, Zimmer Holdings ( ZMH ) disclosed that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Biomet, Inc. -- a provider of surgical and non-surgical products -- for a transaction value of $13.35 billion. According to Zimmer, with the successful completion of this acquisition, it will be better able to capture the $45 billion musculoskeletal industry. Another noteworthy move in recent times is the colossal $13.6 billion takeover of Life Technologies Corporation by its major peer Thermo Fisher Scientific ( TMO ) which closed in February. In the same month, artificial knee and hip maker Smith & Nephew plc ( SNN ), entered into an agreement to buy Arthrocare Corporation ( ARTC ) for $1.7 billion in order to expand its product line in sports medicines. Global orthopedic device makers, Stryker Corporation ( SYK ) and Wright Medical Group, Inc. ( WMGI ) are also resorting to inorganic means to expand their businesses. In April, Stryker acquired German surgical tools firm, Berchtold Holding. In March, it acquired U.S.-based developer of hip arthroscopy products, Pivot Medical. In December last year, Stryker was in the headlines with its $1.65 billion acquisition of robotic assisted surgery developer, MAKO Surgical Corp. Wright Medical to expand in the fast growing extremities market, announced a couple of acquisitions: Solana Surgical and OrthoPro. Earlier in November, Wright Medical completing the acquisition of French orthopedic extremities company Biotech International. Some other significant newest buyouts include Covidien plc's ( COV ) $860 million acquisition of Israel-based diagnostic products maker Given Imaging (in February) and Quest Diagnostics' ( DGX ) takeover of Solstas Lab Partners Group and its subsidiaries for approximately $570 million (Mar 2014). Besides, to expand its dental business in Europe, in February, Henry Schein, Inc. ( HSIC ) acquired five companies from a Dutch company, Arseus NV. There have been many more M&As in the MedTech space. Boston Scientific Corporation ( BSX ) closed the acquisition of Bard EP, the electrophysiology business of C.R. Bard, Inc. ( BCR ). Earlier in September, Baxter International ( BAX ) closed its $3.9 billion deal to acquire Gambro AB, a Sweden-based renal products company. In the light of the discussion above, we see no slowing down of M&A deals in the MedTech space in rest of 2014. We also expect a significant pickup in in-licensing activities and collaborations for the development of pipeline candidates. Divestments With the medical device excise tax in force, leading to further contraction in profit margins, we have been observing a lot of divestments of late, particularly of non-core business segments. Divestments, specifically to offset the tax, have been announced by many key players. We expect this trend to continue in the rest of 2014. MedTech giant Johnson & Johnson ( JNJ ), after its $1 billion acquisition of privately-held, pharmaceutical discovery and development company, Aragon Pharmaceuticals, Inc, in Apr 2014 announced its decision to sell off its Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics business to The Carlyle Group ( CG ) for about $4 billion. The divestment, which is expected to go through in mid-2014, will help the company increase its focus on the core pharma business. Taking a cue from Abbott Laboratories ( ABT ), which separated its research-based pharmaceuticals business by creating a new company AbbVie ( ABBV ) last year, Baxter International revealed in Mar 2014 that it will split its biopharmaceuticals and medical device segments into two independent companies in order to put greater management focus on these two businesses. In January, Wright Medical exited the hip and knee implant market with the $290 million divestment of its OrthoRecon business to MicroPort Scientific Corporation and its affiliates. In January again, Covidien sold off its Confluent Surgical product line for approximately $235 million. Novartis ( NVS ) has also entered into a definitive agreement to divest its blood transfusion diagnostics unit to Spain-based Grifols for $1.675 billion. Kimberly-Clark Corporation ( KMB ) on the other hand is working on a potential tax-free spin-off of the company's health care business. In November last year, Quest Diagnostics divested its Enterix colorectal cancer screening test business. Emerging Markets Although the U.S. still holds the leading position with almost one-third of global market share, a gradual slowdown in established markets due to a number of lingering headwinds are forcing MedTech companies to look for opportunities in the developing world. Currently, with the growth rate remaining in low single digits in developed markets like the U.S., Europe and Japan, large-cap medical device makers are looking to invest more in the high-growth emerging regions. Accordingly, emerging economies like Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRICs) as well as Turkey, Mexico, Malaysia, South Africa, South Korea and the Czech Republic are fast coming up in the medical devices space. These emerging economies are seeing an increasing uptake in medical devices largely due to growing medical awareness and economic prosperity. An aging population, increasing wealth, government focus on healthcare infrastructure and expansion of medical insurance coverage make these markets a happy hunting ground for global medical device players. Expansion in emerging markets, especially those with double-digit annual growth rates, represents one of the best potential avenues for growth in 2014 and beyond. Among the BRIC members, Brazil is currently the largest healthcare market in Latin America, covering almost one-fourth of the population. Though India has one of the largest and fastest growing healthcare markets in the world, it is considered to have the least developed healthcare infrastructure and spends relatively little in this area. In order to reverse the trend, during the 12th Plan (2012-2017), the Indian government planned to spend 2.5% of its GDP (up from 1.2% earlier) on health care and raise it to at least 3% by 2022. Accordingly, big players in the MedTech sector are vying to expand their presence in BRIC and other emerging markets. These companies are also looking to establish their manufacturing facilities abroad. Abbott continues to lead the trend with about 40% of sales coming in from the emerging markets. The company expects this contribution to increase to 50% by 2015. Johnson & Johnson showed 13% growth in the BRIC nations during the first quarter of 2014 and is currently working to increase its presence in these regions. The company has already set up manufacturing and R&D centers in Brazil, China and India and expects to expand further in China on the back of the Synthes acquisition. Becton, Dickinson and Company ( BDX ), with about 58% of revenues from international markets, witnessed double-digit sales growth in emerging geographies during the first quarter with China growing over 25% at constant exchange rate (CER). For Medtronic, emerging market grew a robust 12% (at CER) in its third quarter fiscal 2014, representing more than 13% of the company's total sales mix. Management is targeting 20% of its revenues from emerging markets, adding incremental revenues of $2.5 billion over the long term with mid-teens growth for the current fiscal. Against the backdrop of flattening or declining sales growth in developed markets, Boston Scientific achieved 8% international growth in the first quarter of 2014 on the back of 22% growth in emerging markets, which represented 9% of total company sales. Stryker, with 7% sales coming from emerging markets in the first quarter of 2014, is expected to grow market share further in key geographies like China and India. Orthopedic major, Smith & Nephew, continued to gain double-digit sales growth in emerging markets. Thermo Fisher is also expanding its presence in emerging markets. It expects to garner 25% of total revenues from the high-growth Asia-Pacific region and emerging markets by 2016, up from 19% in 2011. According to the company, China with its rapid industrialization, increasing focus on healthcare, new BioPharma R&D centers and government sponsored research has robust growth potential.

Earnings Trend of the Sector So far, 41.2% of the Medical sector participants have reported first quarter results which have been fairly good with respect to beat ratios (percentage of companies coming out with positive surprises). We note that the results were not impressive in terms of year-over-year growth. The earnings "beat ratio" was 76.2%, while the revenue "beat ratio" was 38.1% in the first quarter. Total earnings for the companies in this sector increased a strong 15.2% year over year on revenue growth of 16.2%. In fact, earnings and revenues showed a massive improvement from the fourth quarter 2013 performance. The earnings is expected to increase by 3.1% in the second quarter 2014. The sector is expected to register an impressive growth of 8.1% for the full-year 2014 and 16.2% in the full-year 2015. In terms of revenue expectation, the sector is expected to register 7.3% year-over-year growth in the second quarter of the year, resulting in an annual growth rate of 7.4%. For more information about earnings for this sector and others, please read our 'Earnings Trends' report . OPPORTUNITIES In spite of several core market challenges, the big three medical device players -- Medtronic, Boston Scientific and St. Jude Medical, Inc. ( STJ ) -- are striving to gain share in the ICD market through new product launches. With gradual stability in the ICD market, these players should be able to revive their top line. In the first quarter of 2014, St. Jude Medical's ICD revenues increased 2.1% (3% in constant-currency).

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The nation's largest prepaid mobile provider, TracFone, will pay $40 million to settle government claims that it misled smartphone customers with promises of unlimited data service.
The Federal Trade Commission says TracFone promised unlimited data in its advertising, but then drastically slowed or even cut off consumers' mobile data after they hit a certain limit.
TracFone's prepaid wireless service is sold under various brands, including Straight Talk, Net10, Simple Mobile and Telcel America.
Consumers with phones operated by TracFone who had their service slowed or cut will be able to request a refund.
The commission sued AT&T late last year over the same issue -- promising unlimited data but then allegedly slowing or throttling a consumer's Web browsing after a certain amount of data was used.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A Senate committee has voted unanimously to exclude veterans from the 50-worker threshold that triggers required coverage for employees under President Barack Obama's health care law.
Before the Senate Finance Committee approved the measure by 26-0, Chairman Orrin Hatch -- a Utah Republican -- said the measure would encourage companies to hire veterans.
Democrats said they shared that goal, but said they believed the bill would have little if any impact on veterans.
Obama's law is gradually phasing in a requirement that companies with at least 50 workers offer health coverage to their workers.
The Senate bill would let employers exclude from that count veterans who receive health care from the Department of Veterans Affairs or the military.
The House approved the legislation earlier this month 412-0.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Republican-controlled House has passed a bill aimed at expediting approvals of natural gas exports.
In a 277-133 vote on Wednesday, the House approved a bill giving the Energy Department a 30-day deadline to authorize natural gas exports from facilities after they are reviewed and approved.
It's the third energy-related bill passed by the House this Congress. They've also approved bills authorizing construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline and fast-tracking new natural gas pipelines.
The natural gas boom has revived a push for liquefied natural gas exports from coastal terminals. Nearly all U.S. natural gas exports today are by pipeline.
More than three dozen applications to build export terminals are pending and have yet to reach the Energy Department. DOE has authorized natural gas exports from four projects.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Amid falling oil prices, a South Africa-based energy company is delaying final plans for a $14 billion gas-to-liquid plant in Louisiana.
Sasol made the announcement Wednesday in a news release about its plans to conserve cash in response to lower world oil prices.
The statement says construction on an ethane cracker at its complex near Lake Charles, in southwestern Louisiana, will continue. And the company made clear that plans for the gas-to-liquid plant are not being abandoned. Sasol said the company would evaluate the possibility of phasing in the project. The plant would convert natural gas into diesel and other liquid fuels.
Lake Charles is home to numerous petro-chemical plants and is about 30 minutes from the Texas state line.
NEW YORK (AP) -- BP is selling part of its stake in an emerging oil-producing region in the Gulf of Mexico to Chevron, and the two companies, along with Conoco Phillips, will work to develop the fields together.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed. The joint-development agreement is a way for the companies to try to reduce the cost and risk of exploring and developing large, complex fields in the Gulf's deep waters at a time of low oil prices.
For BP, it allows the company to move some of its recent discoveries closer to production as it continues to work to settle claims resulting from its 2010 oil spill in the Gulf.
Under the deal, which spans 24 jointly-held offshore leases, Chevron will replace BP as project operator.
DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) -- Ford is recalling more than 221,000 cars and vans to fix problems with door latches and seat belts.
The biggest recall covers nearly 205,000 Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS and Police Interceptor models in North America from the 2010 to 2013 model years. Ford says a door latch spring can become unseated, allowing the door to unlatch in a side-impact crash. The company says it knows of no injuries from the problem. Dealers will inspect the latches and replace door handles if needed.
The second recall covers just over 16,000 Transit Connect small vans in the U.S. from the 2014 model year. Seat belt fasteners can loosen, causing the belts to malfunction. Ford says the problem hasn't caused any crashes or injuries.
Dealers will replace and tighten the seat belt fasteners.
DETROIT (AP) -- Nissan is recalling nearly 768,000 SUVs worldwide to fix faulty hood latches and electrical shorts that could cause fires.
The largest recall covers more than 552,000 Rogue small SUVs worldwide from 2008 to 2014. Snow and salty water can seep through the driver's side carpet to a wiring harness, causing electrical shorts. Nissan says there were reports of shorts but no fires or injuries.
Dealers will inspect the wiring and replace or seal it.
The second recall covers nearly 216,000 Nissan Pathfinders from 2013 and 2014, and Infiniti JX35s from 2013 and QX60s from 2014. The secondary hood latch could stay open when the hood is closed. Nissan says some hoods have been damaged but no crashes or injuries were reported. Dealers will fix the latches for free.
MILAN (AP) -- Carmaker Fiat Chrysler reported a two-thirds drop in 2014 earnings due mainly to costs of acquiring the final stake of U.S. carmaker Chrysler.
Fiat on Wednesday reported full-year net profit of 632 million euros ($718 million), compared with a restated 1.9 billion euros in 2013. Fiat attributed the decline to a 495 million euro payment to the Chrysler union's retiree healthcare trust to complete the purchase of Chrysler. Earnings also took a hit from the devaluation of the Venezuelan currency.
Chrysler drove the group's revenue growth of 11 percent, with a 15 percent boost in North American revenue to 52 billion euros. Europe saw a small increase while Latin America suffered.
Net profit for the fourth quarter was 420 million euro, down from 1.2 billion from a year earlier.
BERLIN (AP) -- German automakers are throwing their support behind a new trade deal being negotiated between the European Union and the United States.
Representatives from major car manufacturers like Daimler, BMW, Porsche and Volkswagen lobbied Wednesday for the deal at an event in Berlin.
Organizer Matthias Wissmann, of the German Association of the Automobile Industry, says Germany, as one of the world's biggest exporters, "benefits from and lives, like virtually no other country, on globalization."
Negotiations on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, or TTIP, started in 2013 but many Europeans remain skeptical over concerns about environmental protections, labor security and other issues.
Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn called TTIP a "historic opportunity" that would allow Europe and the US to set joint standards, "which will shape our world in the coming decades."
CHICAGO (AP) -- Boeing Co. says fourth-quarter profit is up 20 percent as it delivered more commercial planes, offsetting weakness in the defense business.
The results topped Wall Street expectations, but the company is giving a cautious outlook for 2015.
Boeing said Wednesday that it earned $1.47 billion, or $2.02 per share, compared with $1.23 billion, or $1.61 per share, a year earlier.
Excluding special items, Boeing says so-called core earnings were $2.31 per share. Analysts expected $2.11 per share, according to FactSet.
The company says adjusted earnings this year will be between $8.20 and $8.40 per share -- below analysts' forecast of $8.66 per share, the FactSet survey showed.
The airplane builder posted revenue of $24.47 billion in the period, also beating Street forecasts. Analysts expected $23.73 billion, according to Zacks.
Boeing shares have climbed almost 2 percent since the beginning of the year, while the Standard & Poor's 500 index has dropped slightly more than 1 percent. The stock has declined roughly 4 percent in the last 12 months.
STOCKHOLM (AP) -- Home appliance maker Electrolux swung to a profit in the fourth quarter, citing cost cuts and rising sales.
The Swedish company on Wednesday posted a net profit of 969 million kronor ($117 million), compared with a loss of 987 million kronor in the same period last year.
Revenue rose 9 percent to 31.4 billion kronor, from 28.9 billion kronor in the fourth quarter of 2013.
Electrolux said cost cuts boosted income in Europe and Asia while U.S. operations were hurt by new energy standards for fridges and freezers.
WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) -- A Delaware judge says the Chapter 11 case of casino giant Caesars Entertainment Corp. will proceed in Illinois, not Delaware.
The judge on Wednesday denied a motion by several creditor groups who wanted the case to be heard in Delaware, where they filed an involuntary bankruptcy petition just days before Caesars' operating unit made its own filing in Chicago.
Creditor attorneys argued that Caesars filed in Illinois partly because it will be easier there to shield company officials from lawsuits over what creditors allege were improper transfers to shield the operating unit's assets from creditors.
Caesars contended that the judge should defer to its choice of Illinois as the best place to try to fashion a consensual plan maximizing value for all stakeholders.

Very good
CloseProximity to the Metro but also an easy walk to all the necessities. Nice apartment
Location is excellent - wonderful view into the natural history museum, across the road from a major train station, bakeries and restaurants all around, by the river... A neighbourhood that felt safe and good security in the building. Lovely cosy apartment, felt like good value.
No laundry facilities. The suggested laundrette is about a 10-min walk. Was a great place but if we were staying longer, with kids, onsite laundry facilities might become more important.
Kitchen facilities. Clean. Quiet. Close to Metro.
Easy access to metro and RER, close to gare Austerlitz and Lyon. Clean room and kitchen. Friendly and helpful staff. My check-in a couple of hours earlier was possible, which saved a trip to the office.
collecting key at a separate place.
I'm at Paris ...not the this appertments
Room Small??? Cleaning not daily Ones during 13 nights???????? They never called to ask about your stay???? just took money and disappear!!!!! Not enough bathroom materials ???? 300 Euro Insurance without going through the items at the room? just telling you????. never verified at check in???
Spacious Great location Quiet Modern
Could've been a bit cleaner. Needs some minor maintenance.
I spent a week at Short Stay Apartment Museum View and I have to say that I had an excellent experience with everything and everyone at the hotel, starting from the great apartment furniture, good location up to the nice hospitality and services from all the staff The hotel is totally recommended for anyone who visits Paris. I will definitely come back again.
The location, close to gare d'Austerlitz, in the colourful latin quarter, close to rue Mouffetard and its appealing restaurants and shops, AND with a view from the window of the animal skeletons in the lovely natural history museum, was excellent. The kitchen, while not big, was well equipped for our stay. The coffee maker was much appreciated! The staff at the check in office were very friendly and helpful.
Only downside was having to go to republique to check in (unless paying an extra 35 euros for a personal check in).
Very logistically located to amenities. My kids had great time. The apartment size was comfortable for a family of four.
Very difficult to contact the office. We were stranded when we arrived at the apartment when no one was answering the given contact number. We had to take a taxi to search for the office in the middle of a strike and had great difficulties to locate the office. Office staff was okay and he came over to the apartment to replace the tripping heater and that was the last time we saw him or heard from him.We had to use the same towels for seven days and we had to buy our own toiletries as we are not able to reach their maintenance people who are suppose to work from 11.00 to 3.00pm. No one cleaned the place for seven days. Our apartment (001) was in the ground floor and it was very noisy to sleep. Cleanliness up keep is important for long stay.For my next vacation I will try some other apartments if I visit Paris again.Paris is a great place for second visit and my family enjoyed it.
The location was great. Ideal for metro and it was easy to get around paris. Amenities bear by suited self catering.
There were about half a dozen massive Mosquitos in the appartment that dined out on us! Not very pleasant at all and unusual for a cold November. Not sure what that was all about? Once they were 'dispatched' no more appeared. Wondered if the appartment had been unused/ventilated since warmer months?
no heating in bathroom , there were 2 twin instead of one king or queen
close to metro, shops, restorants; good wi-fi; presence of coffe machine; walking distance to NotreDame etc
small bed size
Location was close to two train stations and a metro.
Check in was at a different location and when I turned up there was nobody there.
Convenient to rail station serving Metro and regional lines; super clean apartment; comfortable and quirky decor; nice place to relax after a long day walking all over the city; perfect wireless connectivity; kitchen stocked with all necessary cooking tools. Will DEFINITELY return and refer friends!!!
Would like to have been able to check our bags either at the location or somewhere close since we arrived on an early flight from the U.S. We checked them at the office and appreciate the staff's assistance.
Location, easy to get everywhere from Gare d'Austerlitz with metro. Nicely equipped kitchen and bathroom. Small but comfortable for longer stay and to have the option to eat some meals at home.
I found it stressfull and time consuming with luggage to have to go to Rue Elizabeth first to pick up keys. In our unit the bed although comfortable was so close to the wall that it was hard to get out off. Everything else just great.
The apartment was lovely and in a great location close to a supermarket and a metro station that can pretty much take you to any location within Paris. The lady who worked for the apartments was really nice and friendly even though we didn't get there until 21:30. She spoke excellent English which was a relief.
*easy transport *nice neighborhood *awesome museum view *cooking facilities *value for money
*pick-up the key from main office *room cleaning frequency and changing towels *working hour of the office *availability of the staff at the office to leave the luggages for our last day
The apartment was great.
The stupid arrangement of picking up a key from somewhere else in Paris other than the location of the apartment. Would not have booked it if I knew this to be the case. I don't care what excuse or reason they have for this absurd arrangement, they should get it together to have someone at the place to pick up the key. And they should send travellers a map for how to find the stupid place to pick up the key from, not just an address and which metro lines get you there. A map for Chrissakes!! Come on, people, it's nearly 2015 - get this stuff together.
Good location. Quiet. Nice apartment. Everything is wonderful apart from inconvenience for collecting key in different place.
its too much for travelers carrying luggage to collect the key in different place.
The kitchen facility to prepare breakfast and morning coffee. Bed very comfortable and wifi reception excellent.
Very noisy and busy street. Apartment in front of a museum and a school down the block.
No heater system was working..apart from that ,,,everything was very good !!!!!
location very good near Jardin des Plantes very quiet
shower facility could be better
Location/area. Size/layout of apartment. View! Bed sizes.
Wi fi recepton very patchy.
What a gem! I loved being able to cook, it felt like home! Also the location, right next to subway and to Jardin des Plantes made the trip really special. For sure that's going to be my place every time I visit Paris.
Its a little inconvinient having to pick up the keys in a different place... But I could live with it. Other than that, everything was just great.

Well, objectively as a video game it's decently entertaining while being simultaneously accessible and capable of great complexity. Now subjectively, I just love pokémon ever since I first saw it on TV as a kid in the late 90s :D I really can't imagine not playing future iterations of the games, because they always maintain a certain degree of novelty which makes it all the more interesting: new pokémon, new evolutions, new plots, new moves, new abilities, new items, all of this making it ever more complex and entertaining.
Pokémon games are great games, if anything Im more tired of the anime where Ash just becomes a noob gain everytime he goes to a new region (which I understand as being for the new batch of pokéfans, who are younger and unfamiliar with the freaking 15 year journey he's been on :D). And personally, I just love catching pokémon and raising a new strong team and setting myself challenges throughout the game :)

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Biscuit!
Facts about Biscuit
- Breed: Pug
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With Black
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Biscuit's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Meet Biscuit! This happy girl is about 6 years old and a total lover. She's a sweeatheart with her foster mom and LOVES men - she's her foster dad's litter shadow! She's crate-trained and very eager to please, so she should be a cinch to train. Biscuit doesn't bark in her foster home and is heartworm negative. She loves to play with her Pug foster sister and also gets along with the Jack Russell in the house. She's recovering from some medical treatment and has been off pain meds for a few days, but is still on couch potato status! Biscuit will make a great companion in her forever home. Who wants to share their home with this sweet little treat?
Other Pets at Pug Rescue of Austin
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Biscuit, a Austin Pug dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pug for sale in Austin, or seeking a Pug dog from a breeder in Austin.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Austin already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Austin breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Pug breeders who help with Pug rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Austin paves the way for another one to be saved.

I have American Olean 3x6 white subway tiles I'm going to use in the kitchen for the backsplash. The tiles have a continuous rim around the base of the tile and leaves a small gap (not the little nubs on some brands) when butted together, it is just the look I want. Do I need spacers or can I just butt them up to each other? I can't seem to find a definitive answer anywhere as to if I can butt them up together or if I need to use a spacer....I added a picture of the tile I have..it's the tile on the far right. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I used these same exact tiles in my bath. I found the built in spaces to be inconsistent, so I did use spacers for them to be safe and am very happy I did. |
We used the same tile for our kitchen backsplash. Please use the spacers (check to see what is recommended grout line and get spacers that size). if you want a uniform look, then choose a grout color that best blends with the tiles. Our contractor does alot of tile work and as good as he is, he said that even the slightest variance in a linear placement can affect the straight line. He always uses them, even with 30 years experience of doing tile work. |
Thank you so much Kali615 and chicgeek!! I guess it will be more work, but it will be worth it for it to look good... |
Late to this, but wanted to second using the spacers. We used the same tiles and had to totally redo our bs due to slight variances (and crooked walls)! The second time around, spacers did the trick. Good luck! |
Just to be contrary...I used very similar tiles (think they were Datile) without spacers, white grout, and the backsplash came out great. I'm suppose for the best consistency, spacers would help, but then the final result depends on your skill and prep as much as anything. |

I don't understand why you didn't change your direction when you realized that you should have done so earlier.
Your "gut" told you that they did not belong, this was probably not your first walk with the dog, and you know the neighborhood.
Nevermind that you never looked for another pair of dirt bags who were in the get away car, why walk into trouble?
You were really lucky that you did not get beaten for the measly amount of cash they stole from you, and if you were armed and again did not change your path (even to the other side of the street) you would be up to your azz is red tape or blood (theirs and yours).
While I will never give up without a fight, I refuse to walk into one that is easily avoidable.

Hair Removal Treatments
Waxidents Happen!
By: Crickett
Posted: March 1, 2014, from the March 2014 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 2 of 5
When this happens to you, it's like an out-of-body experience, meaning you want out of your body—now! There is almost nothing as terrifying as a sticky, goopy, unremovable waxing nightmare.
Why does wax get sticky and goopy in the first place? The temperature of the skin plays a big part. Whether it's of the hard or soft variety, wax begins to dry when it is applied to the skin, and hard wax typically dries quicker than soft wax. However, when the skin is warm, it can greatly slow or stop the drying process and, in fact, raise the temperature of the wax, creating an even
stickier, goopier mess.
This issue most commonly occurs in the bikini area. In particular, the labia is the most common area for wax to turn into a sticky mess because the labia is a very warm part of the body.
In fact, anything that increases body heat can increase the sticky factor. If it's a warm day outside, if your room is unusually warm, or if your client is just coming from a workout at the gym—all of these can create the perfect waxing storm. Additionally, when wax is applied incorrectly to an area with longer hair—1/2 inch or longer—it can become matted in the hair, creating a sticky situation.
If you don't know how to deal with this issue, you will spend a lot of time pulling and tugging at your client in an attempt to get the wax or wax strip off of them. This type of pulling and tugging is not only mentally stressful, it puts a great deal of stress on the skin and can cause severe damage.

This is the leather IWB holster from Turtlecreek I'm currently using for my CZ-83 civilian model with squared trigger guard. They also make a version for the CZ-82/83 surplus model with rounded trigger guard. This is the only firm that I know of that are making "mass produced" IWB holsters molded from these actual guns. Other holsters I've seen claiming to fit these guns were "one size fits all" types. I got mine off ebay for around $55 including shipping. Not dirt cheap, but a decent leather holster such as this shouldn't be.
I've been wearing this IWB holster for several months now. It took a little while for it to break in and become comfortable, and now I feel uncomfortable when I don't have it! It shields your upper body from the hammer and covers the whole trigger, yet leaves plenty of grip for a fast draw. It is thin and light, yet strong enough to snugly hold my CZ-83 in place. It also clips firmly and to my belt, but your belt needs to be of sufficient caliber to support the weight of an all steel gun with a double-stack mag like the CZ-83/82.
I highly recommended this holster if you have a CZ-83/82 and this is a carry option you wish to utilize.
