The automotive industry is highly concentrated, with the top-10 global automakers accounting for roughly 80% of worldwide production and nearly 90% of total vehicles sold in the U.S. In the first nine months of 2012, General Motors Company ( GM ) led with a 18.1% market share in the U.S., followed by Ford Motor Co. ( F ) with a 15.5% market share, Toyota Motors Corp. ( TM ) with a 14.4% market share, Chrysler-Fiat with a 11.5% market share, and Honda Motor Co. ( HMC ) and Nissan Motor Co. ( NSANY ) at the last spots with 9.8% and 7.9% market shares, respectively. Due to a massive structural change after the global economic meltdown in 2008, the global auto industry is expected to be ruled by automakers and suppliers based in the six major auto markets - the U.S., Western Europe, Japan, China, India and Korea. OPPORTUNITIES To remain competitive, the automakers will need to design vehicles that will cater to consumers in both mature and emerging markets while manufacturing them at low-cost using the most advanced technology. The recent trend shows that automakers are concentrating on offering more optional features (which will save money on gas) even on the small and less gas-guzzler vehicles in order to attract buyers. The sale of optional features is helping them offset lower profit margins for small cars relative to large trucks. The automakers continue to shift their production facilities from high-cost regions such as North America and the European Union to lower-cost regions such as China, India and South America. According to a study by CSM Worldwide, China and South America together are projected to represent more than 50% of growth in global light vehicle production in the auto industry from 2008 to 2015. The role of governments is highly significant. Governments in all major countries have become active auto industry players. Their energy and environmental policies will be strongly responsible in molding the auto industry in the coming years. In late 2011, 13 major automakers, including Ford, GM, Chrysler, BMW, Honda, Hyundai ( HYMLF ), Jaguar/Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Toyota and Volvo, have signed letters of commitment with the U.S. Government to upgrade the fuel economy standard of cars and light-duty trucks to 54.5 miles per gallon (mpg) by 2025. The new standard is more than double the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standard of 24.1 mpg. It is expected to save 12 billion barrels of oil and curtail oil consumption by 2.2 million barrels per day, which accounts for half of the oil imported by the U.S. from OPEC countries on a daily basis. The new standard also aimed at reducing carbon pollution to 163 grams per mile of CO2. With this, more than 6 billion metric tons of greenhouse gas will be curbed over the time span of the program, which accounts for more than the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by the U.S. in 2010. "Green" Cars Rising fuel prices and global warming have turned attention to the auto industry that either rely less on traditional fossil fuels or use cheaper renewable sources of energy. Thus, "green" alternatives such as fuel-efficient electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid vehicles will attract consumers in the affluent countries while flex-fuels such as ethanol and natural gas will be highly demanded in the emerging auto markets due to their suitability with the local climate and resource base. Consequently, there will be a variety of powertrain technologies in the auto industry in this decade, and "green" cars are likely to represent about 30% of total global sales in developed auto markets. Globally, the hybrid market is ruled by Toyota (which includes the highly acclaimed Prius) and Honda (includes Civic and Insight hybrids). Meanwhile, other automakers such as Ford, General Motors and Nissan are also aggressively pursuing plans to push hybrid sales. Some of their "green" cars have already generated a huge response in the auto industry, including the Ford Focus, GM Volt, Nissan Leaf and Daimler AG's ( DDAIF ) smart USA micro EV. In late 2011, Ford and Toyota have signed a memorandum of understanding on the equal product development collaboration in order to develop a gas-electric hybrid engine for pickup trucks and sports utility vehicles (SUVs). The automakers have decided to sign a definitive agreement that would lay out timelines to develop the technology. They expect to market the product by the end of this decade. The development of electric hybrid engines would help both the companies meet stringent fuel economy and pollution standards in the U.S. and elsewhere in the near future. In August 2012, Ford revealed its plan to invest $135 million to develop key components, including advanced battery systems, for its next-generation hybrid-electric vehicles. The automaker is looking forward to double its battery-testing capabilities to 160 individual battery-test channels by 2013. It aims to boost development of hybrid-electric vehicles by at least 25%. The company will utilize its 285,000-square-foot research and development lab, Ford Advanced Electrification Center, in Dearborn, Michigan to focus almost entirely on hybrids and electric vehicles. Presently, 1,000 engineers are working on hybrid and electrification programs at the facility, formerly known as Advanced Engineering Center. Ford aims to reduce cost of its current hybrid system by 30% compared with its previous-generation system. The company plans to launch five fuel-efficient hybrid-electric vehicles this year including Focus Electric, C-MAX Hybrid, C-MAX Energi plug-in hybrid, new Fusion Hybrid and Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid. It also plans to triple production capacity of electrified vehicles by 2013. GM also plans to manufacture a luxury electric car dubbed ELR based on the technology used in its Volt plug-in hybrid for its Cadillac brand as a part of its long-term goal to become a leader in the fuel-efficient vehicles market. The company has also chosen battery supplier A123 Systems Inc. ( AONE ) for its all-electric subcompact car for the Chevrolet brand that is yet to be built. U.S. is the largest hybrid car market in the world with sales accounting for 60%-70% of global hybrid sales. According to J.D. Power and Associates, hybrid-electric vehicle sales volumes in the country are expected to grow by 268% between 2005 and 2012. Presently, there are only 12 hybrid models available in the U.S., which would increase to 52 by 2012. Leroy, head of Toyota's European operations, has revealed that the percentage of consumers in Europe interested in hybrid cars for their next car purchase has increased to 16% in 2011 from 8%-9% in 2009. U.S. Market Recovery The Big Three Detroit automakers (GM, Ford and Chrysler), who command the lion's share of the U.S. auto market, bounced back with the help of a recovery in the global market, restructuring of the product portfolio, strong pent-up demand and cheap financing (when average interest rate was 4.1% - the second-lowest since December 2011) in the U.S. after being severely hit by the global economic crisis. In fact, higher average age of cars on U.S. roads (10.8 years) and falling unemployment rate have been the key factors in driving the auto sales in the U.S. despite higher gasoline price. In September, U.S. auto sales reached its highest monthly seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) of 14.9 million vehicles since March 2008, four months after the global economic recession set in. For 2012, industry sales are expected to grow 13.3% to 14.5 million vehicles on a SAAR basis from 12.8 million vehicles last year. The Rise of Asian Automakers The Asian countries, especially China and India, are expected to account for 40% of growth in the auto industry over the next five to seven years being the rapidly growing economies. According to Global Insight - a U.S. based provider of economic and financial information - 14.7% of growth is expected to come from India and 8.3% from China by 2013. The Chinese automakers have been struggling hard to enhance their global profile by upgrading their technology to meet the international standards. Meanwhile, Indian automakers are also sallying into international markets by introducing their innovative products that could meet consumers demand abroad. Recently, Ford announced plans to boost exports of its engine production from India by shipping them for the first time to Europe. Currently, the automaker exports 40% of its Indian-made engines and 25% of its Indian-made cars to 35 countries. The company's plan to rev up Indian exports is in line with its capacity expansion programs in the country. The company expects to manufacture 450,000 cars and 600,000 engines in India by 2015. Ford already pumped in $2 billion to build manufacturing facilities in India. However, it is still lagging behind Hyundai Motor and Maruti Suzuki India Ltd, which occupy the lion's share in the Indian car market. Auto sales in China had grown at a double-digit pace since 1999, but fell in 2008 when the global economic crisis crept in. In 2009, China overtook the U.S. as the biggest auto market in the world by sales volumes when the Beijing government introduced a stimulus package, including tax incentives for small cars with engine sizes of 1.6 liters or smaller. However, the incentives were scrapped last year and the Beijing government imposed quotas on new car registrations in order to control traffic congestion. In the first nine months of 2012, passenger vehicle sales in China increased a tad 3.4% to 14.1 million units, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM). Auto sales in the country are expected to improve further if the government renews some of its policy incentives that helped the country overtake the U.S. as the biggest auto market. It is rumored that the government would soon resume paying subsidies to rural consumers who are willing to trade in old vehicles for new and fuel-efficient vehicles. According to CAAM, passenger car sales in 2012 is expected to grow by 9% in the country, which is much higher than 2011 (2.5%). Domestic automakers are likely to rule the key growth market of China as the government plans to consolidate the top 14 domestic automotive companies into 10. These automakers would capture a share of more than 90% in the local market. WEAKNESSES Although automakers continue to focus on shifting their production facilities to new regions driven by cost and demand factors, developing the supplier networks remains one of the greatest challenges they face. Existing suppliers to automakers often lack the financial strength to expand capacity in new markets. On the other hand, auto parts suppliers are sensitive to technology transfers to local third parties, which can give rise to low-cost competitors. Since 1999, more than 20 of the largest global auto parts suppliers have filed for bankruptcy. The financial condition of the majority of auto market suppliers continues to deteriorate, resulting from a historically weak demand and high dependence on automakers. Thus, despite the government's sizable investment in the industry, it is likely that there will be auto parts suppliers who are unable to restart operations due to lack of sufficient working capital even as automakers start production. According to the Original Equipment Suppliers Association, 12% of the auto industry suppliers do not have sufficient working capital to support a 10%-25% expansion in production. High dependence on automakers makes the auto market suppliers vulnerable to several maladies, primarily pricing pressure and production cuts. Pricing pressure from automakers constricts parts suppliers' margins. On the other hand, production cuts by automakers driven by frequent market adjustments negatively affect their operations. Some of the auto industry suppliers who have high reliance on a few automakers such as General Motors, Ford, Chrysler and Volkswagen include American Axle and Manufacturing ( AXL ), Meritor Inc. ( MTOR ), Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. ( GT ), Magna International ( MGA ), Superior Industries ( SUP ), Tenneco Inc. ( TEN ) and TRW Automotive ( TRW ). Technological Challenges The shift in consumer preferences in the auto market towards hi-tech, fuel-efficient and environment-friendly vehicles, such as small cars/hybrids/EVs, is another issue. Auto market suppliers are expected to quickly adapt to new technologies by investing in research and development programs, putting heavy capital burdens on them. The automakers also face significant challenges in transforming their existing powertrain technologies into the latest versions, as far as marketability is concerned. They are adapting the internal combustion engines to alternative energy, including ethanol and bio-fuels.

Connections, performance, and battery life
For a midprice, midsize laptop, it's hard to be too disappointed with the ports and connections on the Inspiron 15z. All four USB ports are of the faster 3.0 variety, and a slim DVD burner is integrated into the right side. Still, it would have been nice to have a second video output besides the single HDMI jack, and I'm always a fan of having separate headphone and mic jacks, instead of the single combo one here.
There are a couple of less expensive configurations of this 15z, but as they lack a touch-enabled screen, I would not recommend even considering them for use with Windows 8. For an extra $200 ($1,099), you can add a discrete Nvidia GeForce GT 630M graphics card, plus trade up to a Core i7 CPU and add 2GB of RAM, for 8GB total. That's not a bad upgrade price, but if I were spending $1,100, I might start elsewhere and work my way down, rather than starting with a midprice system and working my way up.
The Dell Inspiron 15z was not the fastest low-voltage Intel Core i5 laptop of recent vintage, but it also didn't lag behind by an unreasonable amount in performance benchmarks. As we frequently point out, this basic Core i5, found in many current laptops, is perfectly fine for everyday tasks, from media consumption to basic productivity, and even fairly heavy multitasking. It's unlikely you'd run into any slowdown or stuttering, even with all-day use.
With only Intel's integrated HD4000 graphics, don't expect to do much gaming on here. Casual games will work fine, but locked in at a 1,366x768-pixel resolution, this isn't going to be a PC gaming powerhouse anyway.
Even though this is a big laptop with room for a big battery, the six-cell 44WHr battery included here performed merely adequately, running for 4 hours and 46 minutes in our video playback battery drain test. Midsize systems such as the ThinkPad Carbon X1 and the HP Elitebook Folio 9470M ran longer, but other, more budget-minded systems, such as the Acer V5, ran shorter by nearly an hour. Still, it's a decent-enough battery life for a 15-inch laptop that probably won't travel all that often.
The world needs more midsize, midprice laptops that match Windows 8 with a touch screen. And, if they can work in a slim optical drive, as in the case of the Dell Inspiron 15z, all the better. But, once you get close to that magic $1,000 mark (this 15z is $899), your options become very wide, and an upgraded Inspiron, still stuck with a low-res screen, may not be your top choice.

In 2007, the US Supreme Court set a new test for declaratory judgment actions in MedImmune. Its decision continues to have a profound impact on trade mark cases, explain Bobby Ghajar and Carolyn Toto.
One-Minute Read -
In 2007, in the patent case MedImmune v Genentech, the US Supreme Court set out a new test for determining whether there is an "actual controversy" required to maintain a declaratory judgment action under the Declaratory Judgment Act. It eliminated the Federal Circuit's "reasonable apprehension" test and replaced it with an "all circumstances" test, giving district courts broader discretionary powers and also giving would-be defendants more leeway. Over the past six years, various courts have held that MedImmune applies equally to trade mark cases. In particular, a trade mark owner's cease-and-desist letter coupled with another action – such as a follow-up communication with the alleged infringer or filing an opposition or cancellation proceeding with the USPTO – will generally confer the requisite subject matter jurisdiction under the test. Even a single cease-and-desist letter may be enough, depending on the language used in the letter.

2007 Kia Optima Front End Drag
I bought a 2007 Kia Optima a little over 24 hours ago. It's a great car for the price. I got the EX 2.7 V6. The only thing I've noticed...and it's really not that big of a deal...is that when I let up on the gas it seems the front end of the car wants to dip down. Has anyone else noticed this? And if so...do you have any idea why it has that reaction?

tachicoma Posts: 1Hi there,
also experienced problems with Optima, same year of production, the model like the one in the pic http://www.cartrucktrader.com/Ad/For-Sale.cfm/501804378/2007-Kia-Optima/Chamberl- ain-SD/ I bought it a couple of months ago and it was OK until I noticed both front lights went dim, as if the humidity entered under the shields. How do I get rid of that?
I'd appreciate your help.

Washington vs. America–D.C. doesn't doesn't act like there's a deficit problem: If you worry that the federal government can't afford $38 billion in cuts, please read Chris Moody's article from two weeks ago. There's a $1.6 trillion deficit but the feds are still hiring. As of March 23 they were hiring someone to run a Facebook page for the Deparment of the Interior (at up to $115,000 a year). They were hiring equal opportunity compliance officers at the Peace Corps and Department of Interior for $150,000 to $180,000 a pop. They were hiring deputy speechwriters for officials at relatively obscure agencies. …P.S.: The point isn't so much that these federal employees are overpaid, though they are. The point is that if there were any actual sense of a deficit crisis in Washington these are jobs that would not be filled at all. … Well, maybe the Facebook editor. I think that's a critical investment necessary to win the future, don't you? … P.P.S.: That's what's so annoying about all the calls from respectable Beltwayish opinion leaders to stop cutting the non-defense discretionary budget and focus on entitlements, because 'that's where the big money is.' From one perspective, this is a rational argument. That is where the big money is. From another perspective, it looks like a tacit conspiracy of Washingtonians not to sacrifice the jobs of any of their friends, or the local economy, by any kind of actual slimming down (of the sort a private company in similar straits would have undertaken years ago). … In effect, the respectable "pivot to entitlements" position says,"we're going to cut Social Security checks and Medicare for mid-income old people to save the jobs of $180K equal opportunity officers at the DOT." … Why not wring the fat out of government first? … Update: Here's the current list of jobs the government is still filling. …
If you worry about government cutting too much …
Any competent corporate Budget Director (been there, did that) requires departments to budget personnel as well as dollars.
In a labor intensive organization (most Federal departments) if you do not control headcount you cannot control dollars.
Any major corporation that's been in a financial squeeze has cut personnel, they've announced layoffs in terms of people, i.e., "We are reducing our employee count by X thousand" or "All departments are to reduce employee numbers by X per cent".
Why aren't Republican Representatives and Senators highlighting the employee numbers in, for example, Agriculture, Education, Commerce, etc. and demanding that the Administration budget reductions in headcount numbers?
Pingback: Dead Cats: After Ob-L, 05/06/11, (4)51 James Brody | Dead Cats & Clippings
This administrations and past administrations cannot cut the budget. Their philosophy recognizes nothing but power and control. Allowing the people the freedom of a small govt and free-market economy intended by our Founding Fathers is just not part of the equation. To significantly cut the military, cut entitlement spending, or eliminate laws and agencies not allowed by the Constitution means a loss of control and loss of power. Also, too much of the American population has willingly allowed themselves to become dependent on govt largesse. About the only ways left to return this country to more freedom is to make it so the citizens want their freedom more than they want their security and govt paychecks, or we let the govt continue on its merry way and crash the system so we can rebuild it with freedom in mind.

This week was actually big victory for progressivism. Not in health care, but in student loan reform. Finally, a wasteful and worthless corporate welfare program was eliminated. The taxpayer dollars that were being thrown away on private profits will now be redirected to help low income students attend college and pay down the debt. This is what progressive victories look like.

Common English Bible w/ Apocrypha (CEBA) | New International Version (NIV) |
9 Proclaim it to the palaces of Ashdod and to the palaces in the land of Egypt. Say, "Gather yourselves on Mount Samaria, and see the great turmoil in the city, and what violent deeds are inside it." | 9 Proclaim to the fortresses of Ashdod and to the fortresses of Egypt: "Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria; see the great unrest within her and the oppression among her people." |
10 They don't know how to do right, says the LORD— those who store up violence and robbery in their palaces. | 10 "They do not know how to do right," declares the LORD, "who hoard plunder and loot in their fortresses." |
11 Therefore, the LORD my God proclaims: An enemy will surround the land; he will bring you down from your protected places, and your palaces will be robbed. | 11 Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: "An enemy will overrun the land; he will pull down your strongholds and plunder your fortresses." |
12 The LORD proclaims: Just as the shepherd rescues two legs or the piece of an ear from the mouth of the lion, so will the people of Israel be rescued. Those who live in Samaria will escape with the corner of a bed, and those in Damascus with a piece of a couch. | 12 This is what the LORD says: "As a shepherd saves from the lion's mouth only two leg bones or a piece of an ear, so will the Israelites be saved, those who sit in Samaria on the edge of their beds and in Damascus on their couches." |
13 Hear this and speak against the house of Jacob, says the LORD God, the God of heavenly forces: | 13 "Hear this and testify against the house of Jacob," declares the Lord, the LORD God Almighty. |
14 On the day I punish the crimes of Israel, I will also visit the altars of Bethel; the horns of the altar will be cut off and will fall to the ground. | 14 "On the day I punish Israel for her sins, I will destroy the altars of Bethel; the horns of the altar will be cut off and fall to the ground. |
15 I will tear down the winter house as well as the summer house; the houses of ivory will perish; the great houses will be swept away, | 15 I will tear down the winter house along with the summer house; the houses adorned with ivory will be destroyed and the mansions will be demolished," declares the LORD. |

{That's A Wrap!}
Posted on July 21, 2014
We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths." — Walt Disney
My family is off on a new adventure and will be moving to the west side of the state this summer. While this means exciting things for my family, it means {Daly Moments Photography} will be moving, as well.
I cannot begin to express what your support has meant to me over the past few years. Each and every one of you have helped me achieve I dream I never even knew I had! Several of you have been with me since the beginning. You had faith in me and helped me grow as a photographer, as a business owner and as a person. Your loyalty, support and encouragement have meant the world to me. You've brought me joy and filled a space I did not know was empty. I feel so privileged that you've allowed me to watch your families grow. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life and giving me the opportunity to provide your family with memories you can cherish forever. Many of you have become dear friends and it saddens me to leave you.
All weekend and evening sessions are completely booked. If you are interested in a weekday morning session I can make that happen through Mid May.
Once again, thank you for loyalty and support and best wishes for 2014!!

My husband, children and I spent Christmas and New Year's in Ireland with my family. We traveled, by car, almost 1200 miles over the course of 2 weeks. I am slowly sifting through all of my pictures and can't wait to share more with you but these are my favorites so far!! I've had a few people inquire about purchasing prints so I've decided to make them available! Please let me know if you are interested!
{Coming Soon}
Posted on November 16, 2013
Baby {C} will be arriving right around Christmas time and we got some beautiful shots of his mama, daddy and big sister yesterday. I've always loved maternity sessions…such a special time..waiting for that little baby to arrive. There were so many windows in the house which allowed the most beautiful light to come in..a photographer's dream! Here's a sneak peek from Baby C's session..
{Chilly Mini's}
Posted on November 16, 2013
This week's {mini's} fell on the coldest, windiest day! Thankfully, everyone toughed it out. The first group showed up in sweaters and scarves and my second family showed up in beautiful Christmas outfits! The mini sessions were just enough time to get some great shots and keep from freezing! I hope all those kiddos got some nice hot chocolate after their session! Here are a few of my faves (so hard to choose!)
{Falling Behind}
Posted on November 16, 2013

{Vintage Session}
Posted on September 26, 2013
The {B} family showed up for their session dressed so perfectly! She wanted a vintage'y look and we nailed it! Of course, Crossroads Village was the perfect setting and we had so many neat places to choose from. I had a really hard time choosing a few favorites this morning! Mr. {H} was full of personality and I can't wait to share all the other images with his mama….but for now, here's a sneak peek from their session

The cartoonist's role is not so much to instruct his audience, or illuminate the Truth, as it is to simply take an honest stand and present it vehemently enough so that it must be confronted. This constitutes the power of the cartoon to stimulate discussion and debate. And this is the cartoon's positive function in society-Bill Watterson

Phoenix Suns
Suns Strokes: Suns snap seven-game losing streak with win over Grizzlies
Sure, you could read the box score and know who won, but we all know that won't tell you everything that happened in a basketball game. So, we will give you Suns Strokes, providing you with the analysis, quotes and notes from the Suns' 82-80 win over the Grizzlies on December 12.
The Good:
The Suns snapped a season-high seven-game losing streak with their 82-80 victory Wednesday over the Grizzlies. Phoenix is now 3-2 in its last five home games.
Goran Dragic hit the game-winning layup with .5 seconds left on the clock. The game-winner was the first of Dragic's career.
The win was the team's first victory with under one second left since February 28, 2011, when Channing Frye hit a buzzer-beater against the Nets.
The Bad:
Michael Beasley. He played only 10 minutes the entire game because of his ineffectiveness on the court. He shot 2-11 from the field in the game and was 0-4 from behind the arch. While he only had a -3 over/under for the game, the Suns' offense seemed out of sync when he was on the floor.
He Said It
"[Beasley's] trying hard. He is trying hard. You know what, we just have to keep working with him. That's why we are here," Gentry said.
� The Suns won while shooting under 40% from the field for the first time this season.
� Phoenix has trailed by 10 or more in five of their six home wins this year.
� The Suns have won three straight at home vs. the Grizzlies.
Up Next:
The Suns will welcome the Utah Jazz into US Airways Center on Friday night at 7 p.m. MST.

Arsenal decimated Newcastle United yesterday with some quality performances by some of the players who were accused of being underperforming. Arsenal now have managed to take command over the race for top 4 as a couple of weeks ago Everton were pressing high. Now it's a four point cushion in favor of Arsenal from the Merseysiders who are on number 5.
Arteta was pleased with the performance and said, "This was a good win. We had most of the chances and the possession."
Although you would think that the obsession of targeting The German, Mesut Ozil is getting out of hand. He was first criticized for his poor work rate but even after receiving the 'Man of the match' award he wasn't much lauded by the Sky Sports pair.
The Sky Sports analysts remain unconvinced, though, as former Manchester United captain Gary Neville acknowledged his class, but only summed up his outing on Monday as "okay".
While the former player from Liverpool, Jamie Carragher said, "He lacks that power and pace but he's neat and tidy."

Proudly Serving Texas'
10th Congressional District
Our nation is facing several decisions which will ultimately determine how we as Americans go on living our lives. We have an opportunity to help make sure our values, beliefs and hopes are realized, despite some of the daunting challenges in front of us. For the past six years I have battled to bring security to our borders, helped give our law enforcement and military the tools needed to beat the terrorists and helped fight back threats against the family values and common sense living needed in our nation.
I am now asking you to help me continue this fight and to help make sure that I continue serving you in the United States House of Representatives as your Congressman.
Since my election as your United States Representative in November of 2004 my priority has been serving you and your families. With your valued support, I have fought on the floor of the House of Representatives and in the halls of Congress. I have fought to make sure that when you need the Federal Government to listen to you. I have given your voice strength.
During my fourth term as your Congressman I will continue leading the fight for our national and border security. I will battle back against those who want to strip our families our of our values and most of all, I will continue to remember that you and your families are the reason for my service to our nation. Please, help me keep these values at the forefront of our government.

Express lane for frequent fliers should speed screening for all in Manchester
Travelers wait in line to be screened Tuesday at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport. (DAVID LANE/UNION LEADER) |
"That removes them from the larger queue, thus shortening the screening experience for the non-Pre-Check passengers," Transportation Security Administration spokeswoman Ann Davis said Tuesday.
Once a passenger opts in, the airlines identifies that customer as a participant when submitting the passenger reservation information to TSA's secure flight system.
"I don't think it makes as much difference here as in Chicago," Landy said. "It would speed up the lines at other airports."
"If I traveled more, I would," the Manchester woman said.
TSA said 17 million passengers have been logged using Pre-Check since it launched in October 2011.
Current members of U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Global Entry, SENTRI or NEXUS programs already are eligible to participate in the TSA Pre-Check.

If any one is thinking about geteing this exteamly cute dwarf puffer make sure your fish can go with it. I baught 2 duarf puffers and 1 duarf thrased my molly agenst the glass. I mean my molly is 15 times it size. and got heart pretty bad. If you get one make sure this is the right fish for you. |
Follow-Up Postings:
In my opinion, Dwarf Puffers should be kept solely as specimen fish. |
I had a friend who got a dwarf puffer because it was cute too. It killed all of her fish in short order. They can be very aggressive....to say the least. |
- Posted by raul_in_mexico 10 (My Page) on Mon, May 30, 05 at 11:51
Yeah they look cute.......and nasty, besides they aren´t for freshwater tanks they do better in brackish water, good company for them are scats and monodactylus, they are as mean as puffers are. |
You bet they're mean! Ever see "Shark Tales" |
I had a puffer once about 2 inches. I had a 50 gallon tank with other types of fish. They were not much bigger than he was. He was actually quite shy, liked to hide. The other fish were barbs, cichlids. Can't remember what else, this was 10 years ago. I had a crazy mix of fish though. |

Is Ana Ivanovic a little bit too fat?
Jun 25th, 2005, 12:48 PM
she seems to moving bad and I remember her in Rome a bit more fit..
what do u guys think?
Jun 25th, 2005, 01:00 PM
She is a big girl she will never been "thin" its her frame. It could be the outfit.
Jun 25th, 2005, 01:49 PM
yes sure, but I saw her low today...maybe a bad day
Jun 25th, 2005, 01:55 PM
She could lose a little bit of weight but it's mostly "baby fat" . She hasn't yet grown into her body.
Jun 25th, 2005, 01:55 PM
Oh well. She's doing alright.
Jun 25th, 2005, 02:25 PM
...It could be the outfit.
Isn't it always about the outfit when we talking about the women :angel:
At least they tend to claim so... :devil:
Jun 25th, 2005, 04:36 PM
how is it baby fat, isn't Ana 19 years old??
Jun 25th, 2005, 04:41 PM
Ana didn't seem to have much baby fat last October. I thought she looked a little bit bigger in Paris than she did in Australia. I thought it was just my eyes, but someone else noticed it too, so maybe it wasn't just me. I hope the extra chubossa won't hinder her progress.
Jun 25th, 2005, 04:41 PM
how is it baby fat, isn't Ana 19 years old??
17 years old :rolleyes:

I think there are some players who dont care about fitness because sometimes it´s not really important. Ivanovic is begining her career on the circuit.. and perhaps she doesnt have a trainer. She will have one when she needs it.
She is not fat... is just a big girl... the new generation of big girls from Serbia.

I inherited a project that was working beautifully with Inventor/Intent 2010. I am trying to bring it into ETO 2013, but when I try to open the assembly, it starts to build then crashes with the error below. About 1/3 of the assembly gets built before the crash. It appears that Intent can't find what he's looking for, but I don't know how to tell him where it is. Please help.
An error was encountered while evaluating rule memberPathname, in part Root.Building.Roof.ShinglesGroup.ShingleOne
Error Message:
Exception in function iv_createInstanceDocument [Root.Building.Roof.ShinglesGroup.ShingleOne] Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
It seems that my Assembly is trying to use "old" parts when I try to open it. It is trying to use specific parts with partname.lotsoflettersandnumbers.ipt. I don't know if I need to clear the cache somehow or what. I haven't figured out how to get past this yet. Any ideas?
I woud check the ShingleOne part that is called out in Root.Building.Roof.ShinglesGroup.ShingleOne.
Check the following:
If everything listed above is correct and working then you may try re-adopting the part.
Thank you for the response, Chris. By Factory Files, do you mean Member Files? I opened all my parts with the 2013 version and saved them. Is there more to "migrating" them than that?
By Factory Files, I mean the files that Intent uses to create the member files. They should be in seperate folders.
If you just open the file and save it, this does not cause the file to be migrated to 2013.
There are two ways that you can migrate.
ok. I had skipped the migration step earlier. didn't know I needed to do that. i used the Task Scheduler to Migrate my entire project. But, it didn't help. My factory files (design files) are all where they belong. I have opened the project in Visual Studio and set a break point to try and get to the bottom of this, but Visual Studio just laughs at me when I run the project. No chance of hitting a break point in the ETO Project. not sure how to do that.
Have you tried using the built in "Intent Design Editor"? It can be found in the Inventor Ribbon under the Tools tab. You will not be able to apply breakpoints but you can try commenting things out until you get down to the problem.
If you think a certain file is causing the error, try creating a blank Intent assembly and only place that part as a child in the assembly. You may find that there is a problem with the .ipt or perhaps the intent code.
I have discovered that Intent 2013 is now catching coding errors that it was skipping over in 2010.

Hello. I wanted to use BC but then I remembered that it will break down RI (which I was planning to use for the border), so my question is, is it better to attach the edible image when the icing is wet or dry? I want it to be smooth(no ripples), and I also want it to blend in with the icing as much as possible. Can I have both? What is your experience? These are for a bridal shower, and I want them to be perfect! TIA!

I found this processor at an estate sale-looks like it was hardly used. I don't know if there is a more elementary instruction that I didn't get or if I'm just missing something really simple. I would like to use it to make coleslaw, but cannot figure how to get the wide mouth feed tube to work. If I put the narrow one on it clicks and motor will run; if I try to use without the narrow, the motor won't turn on. Any help would certainly be appreciated. Liz |
Follow-Up Postings:
Go to Cuisinart. com and download the manual. Do you have a shredding blade, or are you trying to just chop it? From your description I think you need to put the wide mouth food tube on and lock it in place and then drop in the narrow tube. I think my directions are poor, go to the site |
Liz, I don't know about exact models, but they all work pretty much the same way, I think. You have to put the pusher in, at least about a quarter inch, so that the prong pushes down the rod which allows the motor to go. It's not you. It's designed that way. Cut your cabbage in half, and then into wedges that will fit the tube, put the main pusher in, with or without the narrow feed pusher inside the larger pusher, and turn it on, and it should work. You can probably (not asserting because of model variations) remove the pusher to add more cabbage, and put it back without turning off the motor, though I usually do turn it off out of habit. Also, make sure that the handle of the bowl is over the hole in the base that the rod goes through. Mine is in the front. My housekeeper keeps putting it on backward and it takes me a minute to figure out why it won't work. N.B.: There should be a small hole in the middle of the bottom narrow pusher. You can use it to drizzle oil, and stuff like that. There may also be a slot on the outside of the wide pusher and a tab on the narrow one. You can put the tab in the slot to sort of make them sort of stay together. |
The mechanism is designed to prevent anyone from cutting off their fingers. They figure you can't get your hand into the narrow tube, so the machine operates. But you could get your hand into the wide tube, so the machine requires the tube be filled with the pusher. |

WooHoo-I finally figured it out. It does seem a bit like putting a puzzle together. Johnliu, I thought it was probably a safety thing, but knew they weren't expecting me to shred cabbage thru that little hole. Deeebert-glad to know about the manual. I will check to see if it has anything I don't. My book seems like it covers everything but what I needed. I even looked at youtubes, but couldn't figure it out. After playing with every possible angle, it finally dawned on me. Pillog-thats what I had to do-keep removing and adding more cabbage, but it did a beautiful job in a short time, even with the stopping and adding and relocking. And the motor hums along so quietly. Think I will have fun with this-it came with 11 disks and four cutter/mixers! |
Wow you got the full set of disks. All the parts for this FP are still available. It is a great machine. |
- Posted by lizbeth-gardener (My Page) on Sun, Jun 22, 14 at 22:58
Johnliu: Do you have any other attachments that you use or were you just meaning if something broke the parts are still available? I was amazed to read that the original warranty was for two years, but the warranty for the rotor, stator and motor shaft bearings had a 28 year warranty. I don't know enough about machinery to really know how long those items normally last, but couldn't believe a company would warrant anything for 28 years! |
"--------I don't know enough about machinery to really know how long those items normally last, but couldn't believe a company would warrant anything for 28 years!" Yes, you can warrant an induction motor for 28 years. An induction motor is very simple mechanically. Only one moving parts and no electronics, no gears. dcarch |
I meant that replacement and repair parts are available. |
I found the same model (+ maybe 6-8 additiional disks for vasious slicing/shredding) for $8 at a thrift store... no manual. You can easily find on at C's website, as previously suggested. |

Ask Slashdot: Best Language To Learn For Scientific Computing?

Re:Matlab (465 comments)
I did this! New company doesn't want to pay for matlab.
Re:matlab (465 comments)
Matlab user here: it is EXPENSIVE.
Leaving your company means leaving your language.
One should not have have to leave your language behind just because you leave your people.
Re:R-language (465 comments)
R is great until you look under the hood at the package implementations.
"A good implementation beats a good design "
Re:Java Java! (465 comments)
Honest question: what do you do when you need Math / ML support?
Java is astonishingly vacant -- only Weka and Mahout -- but no packages provide logistic regression, variation measures, distance functions, distribution functions, etc.
How do you do MATH with Java?
Re:Python (465 comments)
a complete answer would be Python and C++, because numpy/scipy can't do everything and Python is still very slow for number-crunching.
The problem with using the mix (when you actually write the C++ code yourself) is that debugging it is a major pain in the ass
+1 "I just spent three days chasing down build error that uses numpy/scipy"
Re:Python (465 comments)
I have a friend who works for a company that does gene sequencing and other genetic research and, from what he's told me, the whole industry uses mostly python.
I work in a Gene Sequencing company and the current debate is: Python vs Clojure vs Scala:
Python unquestionably has the best bioinformatics support. Period. No debate. But the lack of language features has irked many programmers, myself included.
Clojure is gaining attention as a pure functional language with an R-like environment for large scale machine learning tasks. (Bioinformatics is machine learning applied to biomedicine). This makes porting Matlab/Octave/R code much easier, or so the thinking goes.
Scala has its backers. Java is nearly invisible in the bioinformatics world, but the JVM is hard to ignore. Scala has excellent support for Machine Learning but terrible support for "biological and medical applications". Hat tip: you can hire scala programmers or teach Scala to Java programmers in short time
BIG DATA is a bigger problem for us today than previously:
"genome wide arrays" used to mean all ~25,000 gene transcripts or 500,000 single DNA changes (SNP).
These revolutionary technologies are already considered "old".
The rise in performance and drop of cost of DNA sequencing is much faster than the commodification of CPUs during the internet dot-com race .
AMD = case study in good engineering, bad biz dev (188 comments)
Recall when AMD first had 64bit support and intel was still doing *EMULATED* 32bit. AMD was hands down the best option. Either AMD biz dev was bad, or Intel biz dev was good (illegal?), or both. I suspect it was both. Having one CPU maker is bad for everyone. Long live AMD, I guess.
Re:you have the source (566 comments)
How would they detect any shared properties?
Perhaps Covariance analysis? (mutual information, pearson, svd, etc).
Input: 3 data streams A,B,C each which are not truly random
Correlate: A&B, A&C, B&C
Subproblems: given A&B predict C
Subproblems: given A&C predict B
Subproblems: given B&C predict A
NSA has mathematicians better than I, for sure. My guess is that if an agency has altered an RNG then they have done so in a way that is systematic. These kinds of problems are common in analysis of complex systems -- given three non random variables with characteristic variance can you predict the output variable from the covariance? I dont think I could, but it seems feasible to me that the NSA could.
Re:Here's your debate (566 comments)
NSA employs more mathematicians than anyone.
NSA uses linux for their data farms.
NSA is a code breaking agency.
NSA has worked with many tech companies, from wintel to google, stellar wind to TIA, etc, etc.
Occam's razor: which is more likely?
A) NSA worked with intel to provide a known hardware key OR
B) NSA did not work with Intel and chose instead to work with Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, Verizon, ISPs, etc, etc, etc
A is more likely.
Re:you have the source (566 comments)
Entropy + mutual distrust = security
FASCINATING proposal!
I would have never thought
MSS+KGB+NSA = privacy IFF every agency provides a mutually distrusted hardware key
But is this mathematically true? (honest question)
Shannon entropy also applies to mutual information , which formally includes joint entropy, eg...."detecting when values change together".
If these same agencies were able to detect any shared properties (such as joint entropy), the encryption would be EASIER to break, not harder.
Re:Michael Hayden (413 comments)
It is true, most of the population went along with the Third Reich, Michael Hayden is in the class of "Doers" who turned idea into project plan.
Doesn't this give EFF standing to sue? (225 comments)
Previous court cases were thrown out because no one could prove they were being spied on.
A) FBI can install equipment using by citing authorizations which gives ISPs and customers grounds to sue

Aaron Swartz did a routine thing, journals knew it (67 comments)
As an NLP Bioinformatics guy, I believe the real crime Aaron Swartz committed was being in the news.
He isn't the first to have that dataset and he wont be the last.
We write papers using massive NLP scans of publications rather routinely.
Most of the time, the papers are downloaded from PubMed (public funded) so they can't even complain about bandwidth costs, etc.
For anyone who didn't know already, most subscription Publishers don't **DO** anything.
They are only slightly better than patent trolls, and in some cases, worse.

After their comeback, they will HIRE Time Berners Lee. Their focus is on the Semantic Web.
Why would the inventor of the WWW work for Yahoo?
Because you give him ALL the resources to make his dream a coherent reality.
Long shot for sure, but its what I would do.
Re:What would they come back to? (260 comments)
"nobody wants hierarchical web directories" Tim Berners Lee sure does ('inventor' of WWW) -- to the degree that he is spending all his political capital on the Semantic Web.

We've talked alot about the strengths of the arkham knight and how he can match batman in every way . But what about his weakneses ? All villains have weaknesses that batman can figure out , so what weaknesses do you think Arkham Knight has that will give us victory ?
His Body ? His Mind ? His Past ? His Family ?
So my girlfriend bought me a PS4 for christmas in preparation for Arkham Knight, but for doing that I took my PS3 over to her house (for Netflix). Now I have an amazing machine with no Arkham games to play. Dont get me wrong Madden and NBA2K are awesome but Im going through some serious Arkham withdrawal! It hurts knowing I still have 4+ months before Arkham Knight comes out! I would give anything for a playable demo pre release! Please Rocksteady, I know a demo would be pointless considering you need no help in trying to sell this game, but for my sanity please release a playable demo! Even if its just a predator room!
