Bulletin: RT credit card issues
Sunday, May 31, 2009
It is being reported on several forums and loops that attendees of the Romantic Times (RT) convention have had trouble with credit card fraud--probably relating to use of the credit card at the Wyndham Hotel. If you did this you might want to go online and check your recent charges. A quick Google suggests that the Wyndham hotels have something of an ongoing issue with protecting credit card information from hackers? (that is, they aren't good at it--last year hackers are reported as getting card data from Wyndham hotels). This hotel chain might be one to avoid?

Tennis: North Hall boys cruise through the first round, ready for tougher testBy Morgan Lee Editor North Hall's Paxton Gillespie returns a volley at the net during the Trojans' playoff win over Sonoraville on Wednesday in Gainesville.
GAINESVILLE -- The North Hall boys tennis team knows that things are about to get a whole lot to tougher.
The Trojans say bring it on. North Hall cruised past Sonoraville in the first round of the Class AAA playoffs on Wednesday, 3-0 -- North Hall continued playing after clinching the victory and won the other two matches as well -- setting the stage for a second-round showdown with Blessed Trinity. Well make it close whoever we play at any level; weve played some great teams this season, and were playing really well right now, Trojans coach Robert Woodworth. Indeed, the No. 1 seed from Region 7-AAA, made it look effortless on Wednesday, taking the No. 1 doubles point and No. 1 and 2 singles points within an hour to move into the round of 16. We dont care who we play in the next round, as we long as we come out and play like were capable, Woodworth said. These guys have built a lot of confidence, and theyve been a lot of fun to watch. That certainly extended to the No. 1 doubles team, which continued its searing form from last weeks region tournament to clinch the first point, as Matt Booth and Paxton Gillespie downed Sonoravilles Tate Moore and Dalton Wiles 6-0, 6-2. We know we have to get pumped up for state, and we did that today, said Gillespie, a sophomore -- Booth, a junior, is the oldest member of the starting line-up. Weve got a bright future as a team, and were playing better together every match. Booths and Gillespies play has helped set the stage for North Hall in several matches this season. Theyve won every match in special fashion, and they provide energy for the team, Woodworth said. Jackson Davis kept that energy going with a 6-1, 6-0 victory over Brad Whitinghill at No. 2 singles, while Jeffrey Kiser wrapped up the match with a 6-0, 6-1 win over Tyler Bowers at No. 1 singles. Dalton Patterson also won 6-0, 6-0 at No. 3 singles, while the No. 2 doubles team of Dawson Smith and Reid Lattanzi won 6-4, 6-0. This is awesome; were a young team doing well, and weve got a lot more to come, Gillespie said. North Hall, which has dropped just three matches this season -- to Buford, Flowery Branch and Calhoun -- hopes to knock off the Titans in a match time that is still to be determined (Woodworth noted that it will likely occur on either Monday or Tuesday). These guys have been playing with a chip on their shoulder ever since the loss to Buford in the regular season, Woodworth said. And theyre carrying that forward. © Copyright 2015 AccessNorthGa.com

$24 in 24: The Sandwich King, Jeff Mauro, Has a Brand-New Show
by Sarah De Heer in Food Network Chef, Shows, August 21st, 2012
Sandwich King Jeff Mauro joins the Food Network prime-time lineup this fall with a new half-hour series called $24 in 24, where Jeff discovers the best cheap local eats in cities across America. Each week, he'll hit a new locale with a budget of just $24 to find the tastiest breakfast, lunch and dinner in town.
From unexpected mom and pop shops to globally inspired spots, Jeff's coast-to-coast journey proves great food doesn't have to break the bank. But can you really find good food for just $24? You absolutely can: "The beauty of this great country is that you can always find plenty of great food for a great price. There are so many interesting and affordable unearthed joints strewn about the ethnic enclaves that are so common in even the smallest of American cities," Jeff added. He continued to say that showcasing great, family-run establishments that haven't had much publicity and celebrating their food is one of his favorite things about this new show. "That, and watching myself eat on camera, which is always ultra-sexy!"
Jeff hits Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York City and Philadelphia in the first season of $24 in 24, which premieres Monday, September 24, at 10:30pm ET/PT.
Don't worry, Sandwich King fans: Jeff Mauro returns for a third season of sandwich madness on Saturday, September 9, at 10:30AM ET/PT. The difference between the two shows? "It's not just sandwiches! The first location I felt like I cheated on my main man sando, but it's been fun knife-and-forking-it through America," Jeff said. "I'm also theoretically consuming fewer carbs!"

The restaurant industry is hard enough to make money in and here is another show promoting NO TIPPING!!! You and Rachel Ray need to live in the real world!!
new show for FN – Biggest Loser FN edition – starring Sandwich Fool, Guy, Big Daddy, Barefoot Contessa, Aaron Sanchez and that big Iron Chef dude
He NEVER eats junk food, just good, locally cooked and sourced food. You're nuts!
Watching the NY City show. A donut for breakfast, pizza for lunch, and fried chicken for supper. Yup, healthy alright.
McD's cooks their food in my neighborhood – does that make them locally cooked?
@ MCB – waiting for your response – locally cooked does not always equal healthy food – are we watching the same show
the minute the idiot eats a salad – let me know and you can gloat – until then – he's a junk food piggie
You all are mean. Jeff is a working man that is just trying to give you some information and entertain you on the way.
Give him a break – if you have to hate, hate on the makers not the talking heads
he's not a talking head – he's a puppet for the FN execs – eat like I do – it's only $24 a day – forget cholesterol – there are meds for that, don't drink anything – there's kidney transplants if you screw that up and most importantly – DON'T TIP YOUR SERVER – counter or table service – tips are how these people make a living – they are the 47% that someone out there doesn't care about
That is gonna be the name and premise of the next food network show – the next FN star should pitch that idea – original and all so true
I have only watched 2 shows, and on both shows they spotlight the specials and his orders. I have noticed they place his order and the specials on the table, he not only eats his order but the other things on the other plates on the table as well. For instance todays shows was in cincinatti and they featured corned beef. He had corned beef hash 2eggs and rye toast for 4 bucks. But right at the end he picked up the corned beef sandwich that they had also placed on the table and was eating that too. Did he pay for that sandwich did not look like it. If this show is going to truely be 24 bucks in 24 hours. He needs not to take freebies or at least not show it on camera. In order to prove the point of being able to get enough good food to eat in a day for that budget. So for that im not going to be watching that show anymore.
OK, you can't split a purchase with someone, then eat half of it, give the other half away and take the dollar amount for the part you gave away off your budget. You still spent the money. This show is entertaining, but ridiculous.
Absolutely. Can't even ask for a glass of water?
Man no drink water – afraid that server would walk over and provide service for which he is not able to tip for because he on budget
He talks to freaking much! STFU and let me see the freaking food! His stupid one liners never stop. It's back to back to back one liners which makes it look like he's trying too hard. It's soo annoying. He doesn't stop talking.. and it's NOT even about the food. SMH
I swear, it's 95% of him talking and making stupid try-hard jokes and 5% food.
He also has a horrible accent… which is magnified when he doesn't shut up and showcase the food.
His sandwich show is the same thing. He talks more than the sandwich is shown. STFU already!
I agree with Jared but you know that FN is not going to dump him just like that – they are gonna find something else for the BIG MOUTH NO TALENT to do
That is also SO NOT how people that come from CHICAGO speak – he is making us in Chicago look stupid, perpetuating the accent and just for the record – CHICAGO DISOWNS HIM
It's difficult to see – but Jeff is a really good guy. Misguided and a working a little too hard at "IT". Is that him or is the the "MAN" pulling the string on the puppet.
The goal is to make the talent not the food. Really, are we talking that he is going to be a superstar. Maybe if he lost weight and had a speech coach . . .i could see he could make a run at RR? Ya Think!!??!!
Hate the process not the man !!! The show was built in a way that it is impossible to be a proper customer. Reality tells me . . . $4.99 breakfast – and he paid a total of $5.75 – how much was tax and how much was tip. Ah yes, Food Network does not appreciate the service community – waiters, waitresses, and server.
Also, Jeff could use a vegetable once in a while – can't think he's has healthy bowels since he also does not drink any liquids throughout the day. Jeff – please, please, please if you want a long career and a long life – greens are good and for GOD sakes Water, water, water.
the details: $4.99 for breakfast – Boston sales tax is 6.25% = $5.31 total add tip to make $5.75 – so the cheap @ss gave a 45 CENT TIP
Jeff is a horrible person and the FOOD NETWORK IS A HORRIBLE COMPANY FOR ALLOWING THEIR PEOPLE TO ONLY TIP 45 CENTS TO THE WORKING CLASS45 CENTS = THE 47%
My reply to Linda – but I think the world should see this – so here are the details from the Boston breakfast: $4.99 for breakfast – Boston sales tax is 6.25% = $5.31 total add tip to make $5.75 – so the cheap douche bag gave a 45 CENT TIP
Jeff is a horrible person and the FOOD NETWORK IS A HORRIBLE COMPANY FOR ALLOWING THEIR PEOPLE TO ONLY TIP 45 CENTS TO THE WORKING CLASS45 CENTS = THE 47%
I'm the 99% – Hate the process not the idea. And again – veggies are good for you. helps with #2
such a large tip – can you smell the sarcasm… those folks from FN must not be paying their stars all that much in this recession – feel sorry to the dope
I can save $24 in 24 – it's called – cook at home and dieting – Jeff should really incorporate his little sammie show into the $24 theme –
Why are you so mean? I tip less than 10% on all my meals. I pay for the food — isn't that enough. Don't restaurants just pay the servers better. Seriously, why give more to the servers – tell them to just work harder.
You have no business going out to dinner., unless you are just a troll to see how the rest of us respond, Was your comment possibly serious? It seems inconceivable.
@ vicki – the answer is you took the bait…
Raise servers wages the cost of your meal will go up significantly.
Per my other post – I just watched the episode where Jeff is in Minneapolis – first one I have seen. I think the show is stupid. If you are too tight to spend more than $24 bucks/day – stay home! He went to a brewery that gave him free beer samples – he got 4 and used that as a snack. I live in Portland., OR, and we have great microbreweries everywhere. They are very happy to give free samples. I would never just go in and get the free samples and leave, and if I ever did, I'd leave a freaking tip. I just heard Jeff say he always leaves a tip but he sure didn't at the brewery. Bad example! Stupid show!
So Beer was a snack :( Sad that I missed that show. So it's ok to call beer a snack and not a beverage. . . but he never drinks anything else. I think it may be a bladder condition.
not tipping for anything – a food network mantra given to all hosts – eat until you explode (guy), complain you are on a budget (RR) and run before the server sees the paltry tip you left them (jm)

Panton-Valentine Leukocidin and Staphyloccoccal Skin Infections in Schoolchildren1
On This Page
Suggested citation for this article
The Panton-Valentine leukocidin is associated with staphylococcal skin and pulmonary infections. We describe a school outbreak of skin infections and the public health response to it. Nasal carriage of a Panton-Valentine leukocidin–positive Staphylococcus aureus clone was detected only in previously ill classmates and their family members.
Staphylococcus aureus colonizes approximately 30% of the general population and up to 50% of persons who are intravenous drug users, diabetics, or healthcare workers. The organism is mainly transmitted between persons by close contact (1,2). In addition to its increasing ability to resist antimicrobial agents, S. aureus displays a wide array of virulence factors that render it capable of causing a larger spectrum of infections than any other bacteria (1).
Exotoxins constitute essential components of the virulence mechanisms of S. aureus. Nearly all strains secrete hemolysins, nucleases, proteases, lipases, hyaluronidase, and collagenase, which convert host tissues into nutrients required for bacterial growth (3). Some strains produce additional exoproteins that may be responsible for particular clinical manifestations, including the staphylococcal enterotoxins, the toxic-shock syndrome toxin-1, the exfoliative toxins, and the Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) (3). PVL, a bicomponent cytotoxin encoded by two contiguous and cotranscribed genes carried on a bacteriophage, causes leukocyte destruction and tissue necrosis. This cytotoxin is produced by <5% of S. aureus isolates and has been associated with necrotic lesions involving the skin and with severe necrotizing pneumonia (4,5).
Figure 1
From September 1999 to November 2000, 6 of the 22 students from a single third-grade classroom in a town of 12,000 in western Switzerland had 13 episodes of skin infections, including furuncles, abscesses, and cellulitis. The outbreak peaked in October and November 2000, with three new cases and four relapses (Figure 1). Two children were hospitalized. Most patients were treated with systemic antimicrobial agents. Some needed surgical incisions and drainage. Six cultures were performed and consistently grew S. aureus resistant to penicillin and amoxicillin (PRSA) and susceptible to flucloxacillin, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, cephalosporins, erythromycin, doxycyclin, clindamycin, trimethroprim/sulfamethoxazole, ciprofloxacin, and rifampin.
At the end of November 2000, after health authorities were notified, nasal screening for carriage of S. aureus was performed first in the 22 classmates and their 2 teachers and next in the families of those who had had skin infections or who had been found to be carriers of PRSA. Nasal cultures were collected by using rayon swabs moistened with 5% NaCl, rotated five times in both anterior nares. The samples were carried within 2 hours to the laboratory and kept overnight at 35°C in an enrichment Mueller-Hinton broth with 5% NaCl. They were then plated onto mannitol-salt agar and sheep blood agar. The plates were incubated at 35°C with 5% CO2 for 24 hours. Persons with mannitol-fermenting, coagulase-positive colonies were considered carriers of S. aureus after species were confirmed and antimicrobial susceptibility was determined in an automated system (Vitek 2, bioMérieux, France). PRSA were saved and subsequently typed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) after digestion by SmaI. Three isolates representative of the three clones were forwarded to the French Reference Center for Staphylococcal Toxemia, where polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods were used to detect genetic sequences encoding enterotoxins, exfoliative toxins, toxic-shock syndrome toxin-1, β-hemolysin, LukE-LukD leukotoxin, and PVL (4).
Figure 2
Ten of the 22 classmates and 1 of the 2 teachers (46%) were colonized with S. aureus. None harbored methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Nine carried PRSA, including four of the six previously infected children (the other two had negative cultures). Two carried penicillin-susceptible isolates. The nine PRSA carriers and the two previously infected students with no nasal S. aureus had 36 family members, 3 of whom had recently also had skin infections. These three persons belonged to two families that included formerly infected classmates. Thirty-five family members were screened. Cultures grew S. aureus in 15 (43%), of whom 12 harbored PRSA and 3, penicillin-susceptible isolates. The results of PFGE, including PRSA isolates still found after the first set of preventive measures had been taken (see next paragraph), are shown in Figure 2. Genes encoding for PVL were found only in clone A (Table), which was harbored by three of the six previously infected classmates and six of their family members. The three clones showed the same susceptibility profile, which also corresponded to the profile found previously in the infecting isolates.
While waiting for PFGE and PCR results, we implemented measures derived from those in use for MRSA in hospitals (6). After information and teaching had been provided to the students and their parents, nasal mupirocin twice a day and chlorhexidine showers once a day for 5 days were prescribed for all the members of the nine families that included >1 PRSA carrier, regardless of clonal type. These measures were repeated a second time in five families because >1 of their members still harbored PRSA 1–2 weeks after the first set of measures was implemented. Moreover, alcohol-based hand rubs (500-mL multiuse containers) were used several times a day for 3 to 4 weeks in the nine families and by every student and teacher when entering and leaving the classroom.
One year later, no new case of skin infection had been detected among this population through active surveillance by the school nurse or periodic enquiries to the local pediatricians. Two children had relapsed 6 months later, in June 2001 (no culture available). Nasal mupirocin and chlorhexidine showers were repeated for 5 days in their families.
PVL has been associated with staphylococcal skin and pulmonary infections by means of retrospective and prospective studies comparing the clinical features of patients infected with PVL gene-positive or negative staphylococci (4,5). The intrafamilial spread of such strains (e.g., from mother to infant through breastfeeding) has been reported (7–9). To our knowledge, this report is the first on an outbreak attributable to a PVL-positive S. aureus clone that spread among schoolchildren and their families.
Lina et al. found that 50%-93% of S. aureus responsible for cutaneous abscess, cellulites, or furunculosis and 85% of those responsible for community-acquired pneumonia harbored the genes encoding for PVL compared with none of those causing diseases such as nosocomial pneumonia, infective endocarditis, urinary tract infection, enterocolitis, or toxic-shock syndrome (4). Gillet et al. found that 16 patients with community-acquired pneumona attributable to PVL-positive S. aureus were younger (median age 14.8 years), had less underlying disorders, and had more often had influenza-like syndromes or furuncles than 36 patients with community-acquired pneumonia due to S. aureus without PVL genes. The patients in the first group also had a more severe disease course and 75% of them died; in the other group, 47% died (5). Dufour et al. reported on 14 cases of community-acquired infections due to PVL-positive MRSA, suggesting the community emergence of a new superadapted S. aureus strain (9).
In our study, nine persons belonging to a population of classmates, teachers, and their family members were found to be nasal carriers of a single clone of PVL gene–positive, methicillin-susceptible S. aureus after six students and three of their relatives had had relapsing episodes of skin infections in 13 months. Overall, the 44% prevalence of S. aureus carriage in this population was higher than the expected rate of 30% (2) but close to it without taking the isolates belonging to the PVL-positive clone (A) into account. Although the numbers were small and this difference could be due to chance, this finding suggests an addition to the usual rate of colonization caused by the introduction of clone A into the studied population, an event that seemed to have occurred recently, as suggested by its very homogenous PFGE profile as compared with the others.
Even though the S. aureus responsible for infections had not been saved and could therefore not be tested, the nasal recovery of a single PVL-positive clone only from persons who had had skin infections or from their family members strongly suggests pathogenicity of this particular clone. Indeed, Prevost et al. found identical PFGE profiles in nasal and furuncle PVL-positive isolates from patients with skin infections (10). Although only one isolate representative of each clone was tested for PVL genes, we believe that, given the large size of the bacteriophage carrying these genes, it is very unlikely that isolates showing the same PFGE pattern could differ regarding their PVL status. In addition, the S. aureus found in subsequent nasal swabs from the same persons in our study belonged consistently to the same clone as the first cultured isolate, suggesting that these persons were colonized with a single clone each and that the hazard of picking one among several strains of S. aureus for PFGE typing was low. Similarly, Peacock et al. found that 29 of 31 patients with >1 positive nasal culture for S. aureus within a 1-month period harbored the same clone over time (11). The presence of LukD and LukE genes in addition to genes encoding for PVL was considered trivial since these toxins do not appear to be linked with specific infections (3).
To prevent new cases or more severe diseases, the decision was made to implement MRSA measures derived from those in use in many hospitals (6). These measures consisted of the repeated application of nasal mupirocin and chlorhexidine showers for those considered at risk for infection or transmission and the simultaneous use of alcohol-based hand rubs for the same persons, plus all of their classmates and teachers. Given the absence of new cases and the occurrence of only two relapses 1 year after these measures were implemented, they may have played a role in controlling this outbreak.
In summary, PVL-positive S. aureus may spread between persons in close contact and cause disease, mainly among otherwise healthy children or young adults. The clinical manifestations may initially correspond to skin infections and then progress to severe necrotizing pneumonia with a high death rate. Despite its limitations, this study suggests that future research should investigate whether the early identification of such strains, coupled with timely measures aimed at decolonizing carriers and interrupting person-to-person transmission, could prevent or control potentially lethal outbreaks.

Maverick federal employee Sammy Pintella, obsessed with uncovering the fate of her MIA father, makes a startling discovery while rifling through some inactive government files. A dozen, faded black and white photos seem to point to the existence of a secret US Military base built in the frozen wastelands of Antarctica during the height of the Cold War.
Aided by Special Forces veteran Dave Riley, she heads for Antarctica. But they aren't alone. Spies, North Koreans and other shadowy forces are also en route, because deep inside Eternity Base is something people will go to extreme lengths to get: a cache of nuclear warheads.

Covert operative Horace Chase has been chasing ghosts his entire life.
Chase now wears two hats as a Federal counter-terrorism liaison to the local police department in Boulder, Colorado where he becomes embroiled in two seemingly un-related cases. Working as a detective with Boulder PD he chases another death, this one the apparent rape/murder of Rachel Stevens, an upscale housewife attending night classes at the University of Colorado. And with his counter-terrorism team he is embroiled in a series of killings involving a militia group, a rogue ex-Special Forces officer, a psychopathic ex-CIA contract mercenary, and ruthless drug runners.
From the streets of Boulder, to the highest railroad tunnel in the world, to a swingers club hiding in plain site in suburbia, Afghanistan starts to look pretty good to Chase.

Horace Chase arrives on Hilton Head Island to pay his last respects at the Intracoastal Waterway where his late mother's ashes were spread and to inspect the home his mother left him in her will. He's been recently forced into retirement, his divorce is officially final, and now he's standing in the middle of the front yard of his 'new' house where a tree has crashed right through the center of it. What could possibly go wrong?
It adds up to a fiery confrontation to rescue the young boy, and settle some old scores. Nothing is ever as it appears.

New site to support self-publised e-book
Visit http://www.deadwithilsa.com. It's a new twist to self-publishing. Rather than burry the e-book in a list of others, the entire site is dedicated to the book.
Dead with Ilsa is a dark, futuristic, sometimes-humorous journey through the afterlife of Aimels Johnson in an alien inhabited city called Graymin. The web site supports the novel by providing an interactive multimedia experience that provides visitors with a lot of information about the novel before purchasing and downloading it from the site. Visitors can learn about the book and characters through character illustrations and descriptions, reader reviews, and surveys. A free sample chapter can also be downloaded. The site's also built for readers. There are games, a chat room, a fan club, surveys, and an essay contest that add to the fun of reading the novel.

Insurers can no longer treat mental health illness and addiction differently than physical illness now that the Obama administration has set down parity regulations.
Let Insurance.com help you find affordable health insurance now.
Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius called the move "the largest expansion of behavioral health coverage in a generation" during a recent announcement at a mental health conference at The Carter Center in Atlanta.
The new law guarantees that mental health benefits match those for medical and surgical benefits, including copayments, deductibles, allowed number of visits to providers, residential treatment and outpatient services.
The detailed regulations sharpen the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), signed into law in 2008 but largely ineffective because of loopholes and the lack of clear guidelines on enforcement and accountability for overseeing its implementation.
"People who either have insurance coverage now and have no mental health coverage or where the Affordable Care Act fills in those gaps for people who have no insurance at all, they will be able to access affordable care with mental health and substance abuse benefits," Sebelius said at the conference, which was hosted by former first lady Rosalyn Carter, a long-time crusader for more expansive mental health care and addiction treatment.
The law comes at a time when Sebelius is taking heat for the botched rollout of the health insurance exchange website, created to help uninsured individuals buy health insurance plans to comply with the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
Under the ACA, people cannot be denied coverage or charged higher premiums due to pre-existing conditions, which includes mental health illness such as depression. It also expands coverage for screening and behavioral assessments without co-payments or out-of-pocket fees.
Specifically, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) says the more rigorous MHPAEA rule confirms these provisions:
The mental health community has actively pushed for the law, citing the need for more comprehensive treatment across the country. HHS said the regulation could affect 62 million Americans, including about 23 million who suffer from substance abuse.
Administration officials added that the rule was sought, in part, in response to the recent spate of violent shootings, including the massacre of schoolchildren in Newtown, Conn., last December. They hope the rule will help mentally ill people get care before potentially turning violent.
"Americans deserve access to coverage for mental health and substance use disorders that is on par with medical and surgical care," Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew said in a written statement. "These rules mark an important step in ending the disparities that exist in insurance plans, and will provide families nationwide with critical coverage and protections that fulfill their health needs."
Cynthia Moreno Tuohy, executive director of the National Association of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Counselors, praised the rule, saying it will encourage wider access to care. "What it means for us is that we should see more people coming into the treatment world," Tuohy said in a written statement. "One of the reasons people don't come into treatment is that they don't have health care -- this takes those barriers away."
Jeffrey Lieberman, president of the American Psychiatric Association, also cheered the move. He told NBC, however, that health insurers should be watched closely to ensure they don't side-step any requirements.
But America's Health Insurance Plans, a national trade group representing health insurers, said it likes the rule.
"Health plans have long supported the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Act and have worked to implement these requirements in a manner that is affordable, safe and effective for patients," said Karen Ignagni, the group's president, in a written statement. "We appreciate that the final rule enables patients with mental and behavioral health conditions to continue to benefit from the innovative programs and services health plans have pioneered."

Reno Man Convicted of Submitting Fictitious Drafts to IRS to Pay Personal Income Tax
Reno, Nev. - A Reno man was convicted by a jury this afternoon of two counts of submitting fictitious obligations ("Sight Drafts") to the IRS and two counts of attempting to interfere with the administration of IRS laws, announced Daniel G. Bogden, United States Attorney for the District of Nevada.
ALBERT R. SALMAN, age 65, owner of the Stead Barbershop in Reno, was indicted by the federal grand jury in October 2003. Trial began Tuesday before U.S. District Judge Larry R. Hicks. He is facing up to 25 years imprisonment and a $250,000 fine on each of the fictitious obligations counts, and up to three years imprisonment and a $250,000 fine on each of the interference counts.
According to the court records, on or about October 30, 1998, and January 15, 1999, SALMAN, submitted fictitious "Sight Drafts" in the amounts of $750,000 and $250,000, respectively, to the IRS for the payment of his estimated federal personal income tax, knowing that the drafts were fictitious and that he did not owe such tax liability to the IRS. The "Sight Drafts" purported that they were issued under the authority of the United Sates Treasury, and were submitted along with an IRS Form 1040-ES, which is a payment voucher. Each voucher indicated he was making payment on behalf of ALBERT R. SALMAN for the 1998 calendar year.
ALBERT SALMAN is scheduled to be sentenced before U.S. District Judge Larry R. Hicks on December 16, 2004, at 9:00 a.m. He is released on bond pending sentencing.
The case was investigated by Special Agents of IRS Criminal Investigation in Nevada. It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Brian Sullivan.

Hey Guys, In a few days I will be doing my first bottling in a long while. I have all the gear for sanitizing the bottles (vinator/bottle tree) but I will be using old 650ml beer bottles I have saved up over the year. Should I do a more heavy duty "clean" before I sanitize? Thanks, Matt
Try hot water, oxyclean and a good long soak (1-2) days. Rinse well and check it out. Repeat if needed. Then sanitize before you bottle. Unless they're really junky, they should clean up.
I agree. Unless they are FUNKY, just make up a solution of hot water and pbw. No need to scrub, just let the chemicals do their thing in hot water and you'll be good to go.
+1 to the above. I do have a bottle brush that I give a quick scrub with if I know the bottles I am working with are dirty. Otherwise, a long soak in a cleaner like pbw, oxyclean, etc. and a blast from a bottle washer is usually all it takes. rinse well and then sanitize in starsan.
Awesome thanks guys!
If you rinse your bottles well with hot water after pouring one can you simply give another hot water rinse before sanitizing? I've been doing this and have yet to have any problems. Am I just testing my luck here?

Sabrina Collection Coming
- Posted by Johanna on June 27, 2006 at 9:23 am
- Category: Archie Comics
Regular readers of this site know that I've been asking for collections of the new manga-style Sabrina the Teenage Witch for a while now, and Archie's just announced that they will be doing one. Yay!
The Magic Revisited is due October 18, collecting the first four issues of the manga revamp for $7.49 US. That price point puts it between DC's youth-oriented superhero digests (which collect five issues for $6.99) and Viz's girl-targeted shôjo manga (almost twice the page count for $8.99, but in black and white, not color).
That title makes it sound historical, which would fit in with the majority of Archie's collections. I wish they'd picked something more "zappy", not something that makes me think "Sabrina: The Rerun". Still, it's a start. The real tests will be to see whether it's made available in bookstores (I can't imagine why not) and whether it does well enough to continue the series. I hope it does; I'd love to see a new audience introduced to the fun of the teen witch's manga adventures.

June 25, 2006 at 12:53 PMThat does sound kind of odd. I mean I would think there is a part of audience that this will be new to. Not just readers like us who want it in a more permanant form.
- Kiki Says:
June 26, 2006 at 9:05 AMCan't say I love the sound of the title, but I do think it's a great idea for them to collect the issues in a book. I have girls in my elementary library that are crazy about W.I.T.C.H. (there is literally a race to see who will get the new volume first), Peach Fuzz, Yotsuba &!, and Allison Dare, but they won't touch individual issues of comics. I think Sabrina will grab them in the collected edition. Now if DC will just collect the original Amethyst mini-series. :)

Those who are in blogging field know the importance's of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) no matter in which niche (Topic) you blog but to get visitors from search engine like Google, yahoo, Bing etc. you have to optimize your blog according to their requirements.
Lots of company out there provide SEO services to blogger (personally i don't know whether it's useful or not as search engine algorithm keep on changing so, i never used any of this services. But hope they use to give good result as their charges are high).
But, if you want to learn about basic of on page Search Engine Optimization techniques which allow your blog visible in search engine and give you good traffic then i am having few techniques.
Basically when you write article you have to take care about this four points
1) Keyword
2) Description
3) Title tags
4) Other tags
1. Keyword
Keyword is main part of any article to get rank in search engine or to get visitor the less your competition the more you have chance to get in 1st position.
While reading this if you are thinking that placing any keyword in article with low competition will rank you in top then you're are wrong because keyword required two things
- Relevancy
- Density
Relevant keyword
Always pick relevant keyword that user will type in while looking for information. For example, if your article is about 'Search engine marketing training' then search phrases that you think user may write while searching and check those phrases competition, volume search by choosing good keyword search tool.
Keyword Density
Keyword density is main part of article you have to use your keyword smarty so that it will not appear as keyword stuffing. Try to make your keyword density between 1-3 percent of your content's total word count and if you're using wordpress then few plugin will help you to check keyword density.
2. Description
Search engine show only 160 character in search result, so you have to make your article description under 160 characters which is often called as Meta description to make this Meta descriptions more effective use your article main keyword in this Meta description.
3. Title Tags
Always choose title which itself create small story of your article that exactly what you going to say through that article. That type of title always treated as accurate and visitor friendly most important while creating title always place your important keyword in front of title and in permalink or URL to achieve high ranking.
4. Other tags
In other tags i mean to say Bold, italic, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, underline tags.
Use H1 tag for your title's, for sub category u can use h2, h3, h4 tags and place your main words (keywords) in bold, italic and underline tags (whoa!! Wait it doesn't mean you over stuff your article with only tags use all this but wisely ;)).
These are the cheap search engine optimization techniques (it's cheap money wise not result wise OK) as it will cost you nothing. By the way, best way of doing SEO practice is by using different method on every different article so that you will get to know which one is working for you.

Why do valves bend?
The valves are major parts of any given engine. Depending on the type and size of the car engine, the system may involve four valves or six valves, for example. More valves in the engine system are known to provide better engine performance in terms of efficiency, torque, and power. The valve system in engines also performs or constantly moves in its proper place while giving the engine power and efficiency. With its constant movement, some of these valves may bend over time. The bending of these valves is not a common occurrence when talking about new engines that are produced from modern technologies. Older engines, meanwhile, may be more susceptible to the valves bending.
One common cause of an engine's valves bending is the common wear-and-tear problem. The valve system relies on the smooth functioning of the other engine parts including the chains or timing belts, for example. If these parts become broken due to regular wear, it may cause bending of the valves as they touch other parts in the system while moving through the camshafts. For older engines, the other parts that get broken or damaged are what causes the valves to bend. It is quite uncommon or unlikely for the engine valves to bend themselves.
Valves bending may also be due to engine overuse or over-revolution. This condition may happen when the person driving the car is not experienced enough to perform smooth gear shifting. When there is an over-revolution in the engine and the driver decides to downshift to the lowest gear, this mistake may then cause the valves to bend. In this case, the wrong gear is chosen, and this makes the engine over-calculate in terms of revolutions. Misaligned parts in the valve system may also be the reason for their bending. It could be attributed to the valve stem, the springs, or rocker arms. Whatever part is in question, it must be replaced or repaired in order to keep the valves from bending.

Review of Tom Daish, submitted at 2010-09-08 21:14:51, score: 8/10 If the score alone is anything to go by, Charlie Chaplin was a sad figure away from the screen, depsite being a lively comic genius when on display. Whenever this score is mentioned, director Richard Attenborough tells of how Barry's mournful and instrospective main title theme made him cry. The opening scene is of Chaplin removing his makeup which isn't anything special in itself, but when coupled with Barry's music, the character of the private man is transcribed in music beautifully. Chaplin's sad, dejected, yet romantic theme provides the central melody, but that is not to say the score is not without more joyful moments. Early Days in London and cues such as The Wedding Chase feature music written in a style that echoes the kind of chase music that Chaplin's own movies and brings a lighter tone to what could have become a very overbearing and sombre score.A couple of Chaplin's own compositions are worked in for certain occasions, most notably Smile which is a lovely theme that works well alongside Barry's music. Salt Lake City Episode features music from Chaplin's score to City Lights and is absolutely typical silent movie music. It must be said that it has perhaps more energy than Barry's imitation, but I suspect that had this frenetic style of writing been used more often, it would have swamped Attenborough's more sensitive film. There are two versions of the The Roll Dance both of which sound strangely familiar although I can't place them. There is occasionally a dip into Barry's more epic disposition, most notably in the rousing and percussive opening of To California which shines a little optimism after the strangely subdued Charlie Proposes.The only negative feature of the score is Robert Downey Jnr's unflattering performance of Smile which is neither good on its own terms nor fits in with the rest of the score. However its location at the end of the disc means it can easily be missed out. I would not argue that this is a terribly atypical Barry score; it features all the major components of a typical contemporary Barry score, strong themes, lush orchestration, perfect attention to the dramatic needs of the film and of course rounded cues that function beautifully with or without the pictures. However, the occasional break into lightly comedic scoring along with Barry's willingness to appropriately place some of Chaplin's own music in the mix provides for a superior example of Barry's work and ranks as one of the highlights of his more recent output.

POSTED: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - 5:00am
UPDATED: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - 5:04am
PRAIRIEVILLE, LA (NBC33) — Officials with Ascension Parish's East Ascension Consolidated Gravity Drainage District No. 1 announced today Alligator Bayou Road will be closed at the Frog Bayou Lock on Friday, Jan. 25 at 7:00 a.m. until further notice.
Drainage department crews will be installing and operating three pumps on the Ascension Parish side of Alligator Bayou Road to help drain the Bluff Swamp area into Bayou Manchac. The pumps will be located near the Frog Bayou Lock. The increased water level in the basin was due to heavy rains experienced during the last two weeks.
Officials said the closure will remain in effect until the water in the Bluff Swamp basin lowers to a safe level. Officials said the work would take approximately two weeks.

Ardèche Groseilles-Griottes - 370g
Formaggio Kitchen Exclusive
Country of Origin: France
Region: Rhône-Alpes
City / Village: St. Sylvestre
These are organic small-batch handmade preserves made by Sylvie and Pascal Raunicher at La Ferme de Mazairas in the small town of St. Sylvestre in the region of Ardèche. Their tiny farm specializes in organic fruit, using unusual varieties with tons of fresh flavor. Their jams have less sugar and less pectin than other jams and as a
result their texture is more suited to being scooped with a spoon than
spread with a knife.
This is an stunning red currant preserve punctuated by whole ripe red Morello cherries. This works as a perfect complement to some of our triple cream cheeses such as Gratte Paille or Pierre Robert.

Video Here: Man admits to setting building fire in Shamokin
SHAMOKIN – A 22-year-old Shamokin man is in jail after admitting to setting a fire that damaged a city building. James Neidlinger was arraigned before District Judge John Gembic Tuesday and faces charges of arson, risking a catastrophe and criminal trespass.
Shamokin police officer Ray Siko says Neidlinger was found at the scene of the blaze in the 600 block of East Sunbury Street around 10:40p.m. Monday. Neidlinger told police he knew who started the fire, and Siko says they then took him to the police station to question him.
"He provided information that the suspect was wearing a black ski mask, coat, pants and he said black boots that look like mine. Basically he provided his characteristics to us; same height, same weight, the only thing that was different was the eye color. Our interview continued and he did admit that he set the fire and what he did before, during and after."
At a press conference Tuesday, Siko said Neidlinger explained to police that he had been upset with his girlfriend, went to take a walk and got so angry that he set the abandon building on fire. This is the third fire in a week in Shamokin, but Siko says they are not yet linking Neidlinger to the other blazes. "Right now we are actively investigating and I don't want to prematurely say yes or no to a connection. We have and will continue to interview multiple people."
Police credit the actions of Shamokin trooper Darwin Tobias who noticed Neidlinger's footprint in the snow and took a picture to later match up with his boots. More from the press conference here:

San Francisco Dons (20-12)
@Loyola Marymount Lions (19-12)
Friday, March 02
Orleans Arena - Las Vegas, NV
Attendance: None
San Francisco
Loyola Marymount
Las Vegas, NV (Sports Network) - Michael Williams scored 19 points and handed out four assists to push the fifth-seeded San Francisco Dons to a 67-60 victory over the fourth-seeded Loyola Marymount Lions in the quarterfinals of the 2012 West Coast Conference Tournament.
Cody Doolin finished with 16 points and seven rebounds for San Francisco (20-12), while Cole Dickerson added 10 points off the bench. The Dons will advance to battle the WCC No. 1 seed Saint Mary's in the semifinal round on Saturday.
Ashley Hamilton scored 14 points and grabbed eight rebounds to pace the Lions (19-12). Anthony Ireland chipped in 13 points and five assists. Every member of the league, with the exception of the newly added BYU Cougars, has won a conference tourney championship since Loyola Marymount last won it in 1990.
The Lions took a slight 35-34 lead into the intermission after they shot 48.3 percent from the floor in the opening period. San Francisco kept it close by hitting 40.6 percent of its field goal attempts in the first half.
Loyola Marymount cooled off after the break as it made just 32.1 percent of its field goals in the second half. The Dons took the lead for good at 47-46 when Dickerson made a layup with 11:26 left to play. Ireland made a pair of free throws and a Jarrod DuBois made a three-pointer to make it 61-58 with 1:39 left, but the Dons would allow the Lions to get no closer the rest of the way.
Three-point shooting was the deciding factor, as San Francisco was able to advance behind an 11-of-26 shooting performance from beyond the arc. Loyola Marymount connected on just 4-of-15 from deep.

On yesterday I had the old smoke-house pulled down the fence made up and the garden plowed -- I expected to kill at least 50 Rats and lo and behold I didnt [didn't] see one -- Joe, who plowed the garden, in plowing the ground where the old house stood, stirred up one rat, we couldn't get either of the black puppies to touch it, Joe cut & bruised it badly with his whip, Cora came running up and mounted the bacon-eater -- t'was [it was] right funny to see the little thing shaking a rat bigger than she was -- she is very sprightly and will make, with a little pain, a fine ratter -- she is lying a sleep [asleep] now at my feet by the fire --
I gave the negroes their provision, tobacco, &c [et cetera] and the little negroes molasses this morning and then went over to Mr W. to spend the day -- Dr [Doctor] Markham and three overseers were there to dinner -- Mrs W. & Perkins seem to sympathise [sympathize] deeply with me in my loneliness and urge me to spend a large portion of my time with them -- they inquired very affectionately after you and sent a great deal of love -- I think my darling, they are really sincere friends -- the dinner [deleted text: is] was very nice -- Dr [Doctor] Markham has dined with them 15 days consecutively -- no body [nobody] very sick either -- Daisy asked after her darling aunt Callie -- she became so outrageously bad to day [today] that the old lady gave her a slapping -- it improved her mightly [mightily] -- I have not heard from Marion since I came home -- so no news from that quarter. I intend to plant Irish potatoes tomorrow -- also cabbage
Page: [3] [jpg image | djvu image]
lettuce & c [et cetera] your peas are beginning to look right green -- I shall plant some more in about two weeks -- I shall start Dan to cleaning, out my wells in the morning -- a job I dread -- All [deleted text: ar] continue well -- Sarah's little ones look fat -- Catherine takes good care of them -- Caroline wants Mistress to write a name for her boy -- I this morning gave [unclear text: Gilbert] the gold dollar, he seemed very proud of it -- old Booker says "he intends to have twins & he knows master will give him two gold dollars" the old fellow seems to hate mightly [mightily] to have been outstripped -- from appearances I think Maria and L Eliza will both take rthe straw in less than a fortnight -- Blanche is "sticking out a feet" --The canebrake is ery pleasant now and I could be so happy were darling Callie here to share it with me -- you [deleted text: must] musn't think, my dear wife, from the frequency of my wishes to have you with me, that I regret your going to Ga. [Georgia] we thought it best and safest for you and must bear as well as we can, the seperation [separation]. but dear sweet wife I do love you so much, that I do want to be with you -- dear love be cheerful and try to be contented -- I know your relatives are kind and will do all in their power to contribute to your happiness -- darling Callie how I long to feast my eyes in gazing upon your dear form, press you to my bosom and distill nectar from those sweet lips of Thine -- dear, dear Callie how inexpressibly dear you are to me --

Sound questions. Would a terrorist announce his intent? Would removing a t-shirt stop a real terrorist from executing that intention?
Forty years ago, US air travelers flew reasonably dressed, if not in suits or jackets with ties. Anyone wearing a t-shirt with a message like "F___ you! And I do mean you a__hole!" would likely be asked to cover it up or be told not to board the plane.
One would not likely wear such a t-shirt to a cocktail party either, but in some circles, among very close friends sharing a well-understood joke, the t-shirt could work. It would not work for a stranger to show up in such a t-shirt at a cocktail party where s/he knew few other guests or was not esp close to them.
Except on charter flights of good friends, we mostly fly with strangers. Strangers are not clued into one another's off-beat humor, unless it was obvious. (Try a tasteless t-shirt asking, "Why don't you ask about my lobotomy?") In the last 12 years, some terrorists have blown up flights on which they were passengers. Others tried. So air passengers seeing such a t-shirt, witnessing hostile behavior, or seeing someone else having a big, private joke, are never sure.
Airlines like passengers to fly with no nagging doubts. Peace of mind matters when flight crews have to calm passengers during turbulence or emergencies. Who needs to deal with already unsettled passengers?

Interagency Guidance on Mortgage Servicing Practices Concerning Military Homeowners with Permanent Change of Station Orders
Dear Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officers:
1 Mortgage Servicing: Making Sure Your Payments Count. Federal Trade Commission. Facts for Consumers (June 2010).2 For example, foreclosure alternative programs include the Making Home Affordable Program and other programs offered by or through Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the Federal Housing Administration, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Department of Agriculture-Rural Development. Credit unions are not required to offer any particular programs, but should provide information about their availability.3 50 U.S.C. app. §§ 501-597b. Among the protections under SCRA are restrictions on foreclosures of servicemembers' property securing pre-military-service mortgages for which the servicemember is still obligated, while the servicemember is in "military service," as defined in §511(2), or within nine months thereafter. The period of nine months will revert to 90 days after December 31, 2012.

The sound fidelity and sensitivity is pretty good for my use, amazing really for a 17g machine. Maybe someone could install a microphone jack and test with a shotgun mike?? |

So I took people's advice and didn't open mine to figure out mounting. I just CA'd some carbon fiber spars from some damaged foam blades to the camera. It mounts perfect to the skids and struts and the vibration is pretty minimal even from my little 120 heli.

OK, I misunderstood your first post since it didn't have this specific information. I think you are saying the video stops after about 12-1/2 min. of recording? If so, that could be a problem with the memory card or the battery, not the config. setting. Is this happening with more than one memory card? How long do you re-charge your battery. Have you tested this using a stronger power source, e.g. the car charger to rule in/out the battery as a possible root cause?

I played them all back simultaneously, and muted them all, then turned each sound track on separately. And as we've all pretty much agreed, High and Middle volume for all practical purposes sound identical to my ear (and most other users, I think). The Low volume was slightly less, but very little. The screen grab of the native video waveforms I posted in a recent post was from this test to show there is a difference in the sound amplitude with these settings, but until we can see the sound displayed with a logarithmic decibel (dB) level for each at the same point in time in the audio, we don't have any definitive information on how they should sound. We can only tell how they do sound. A 3dB change in sound pressure is barely audible. A 5dB change is clearly noticeable, a 10db change should sound about twice as loud. A 20 dB change should sound about 4 times louder. Based on this, I'd guess the Low setting is about 5dB below the middle and maybe 7-8dB below the highest. I want to test this theory just for the sake of knowing what is happening in the videos. |

foggy images
Somebody asked in the last few pages of switching lens or just taking the lens off completely. The response was you would get an overly white exposed image. I was wondering if light leaks around the lens itself would cause that milky image I get with my camera. I have not taken the lens apart nor adjusted the focusing range. But somebody suggested to use some de-gluing CA agent and the lens screws out easily. maybe a little fine dust has worked its way inside. If that's the case then a little air blast might make my camera work like new.

From Delish
Recipe courtesy of Jose Andres.
This is one of Spains greatest sauces. It originated in Tarragona, but Im sure it will soon find its way into all corners of the U.S. It is a wonderful match for vegetables, seafood, and meats. One of my favorite ways to serve it is with plump seared scallops.
