Buy Diabetes Increasing "Mega Jug" of Soda From KFC and Support Diabetes Research (WTF)
"A KFC franchise in Utah is asking customers to help fight diabetes — by purchasing an 800-calorie Mega Jug of sugary soda to wash down their meals. For every $2.99 half-gallon drink it sells, the chicken restaurant promises to give $1 to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). The promotion has drawn criticism from anti-obesity activists, who still ...

Modern PC keyboards have evolved into many different designs. Some even come with special key configurations and functions designed to enhance ergonomics and productivity for everything from multimedia to games. But how good are they for their basic purpose — typing? We tried out two modern versions of the 'classic' keyboard style for comparison — the Unicomp Customizer and the Das Keyboard Professional. Why might you prefer an old-style keyboard? As keyboards evolved, they became smaller, lighter and generally embraced a cheaper, quieter, rubber-dome key mechanism. Critics say that somewhere along the line, quality and tactile feedback was lost, making rubber-dome keyboards inferior for typing no matter how many fancy features they included. According to some typing enthusiasts, you just can't match old-style mechanical keyboards for speed and accuracy. So we put this to the test.
In the early days of personal computing, offices reverberated with the machine-gun like staccato of these 'full-metal jacket' keyboards. King of the old-style heavy-metal monsters was the IBM Model M PC keyboard, first released in 1984 and famous for its 'clicky' sound, tactile feedback and 'bulletproof' durability. The original Model M made during the 1980s is still prized by a small but faithful following of high-output users, though it's a little hard to find today. However, Kentucky-based manufacturer Unicomp is keeping the flame alive, making new and modern versions of the Model M based on the original design, but with a USB interface for modern computers. Another up-to-date contender for the 'ultimate keyboard' crown is the Das Keyboard range, with its high quality gold-plated mechanical key switches. Das Keyboard (literally, The Keyboard) is designed for serious typists. One version — the Das Keyboard Ultimate — has totally blank keys, a feature designed to encourage users to type by touch only. We reviewed the Ultimate's blank-key predecessor, the Das Keyboard II and came away impressed. The Professional version has standard key markings.
The Model M and its Unicomp equivalent use a 'buckling spring' mechanism — a coil spring under each keycap which compresses as the key is pressed until it kinks, or buckles, producing a noticeably audible click and subtle tactile feedback. The result is claimed to be a more definite key press than the so-called mushier feel of an almost-silent rubber-dome mechanism, and hence the claimed greater accuracy. The Das Keyboard includes German-engineered mechanical key switches with gold-plated contacts to give a clicky feel similar to a Model M, but it also adds a sleek gloss-black look and the modern touch of a built-in two-port USB hub on the right-hand side and illuminated blue indicators for caps lock and num lock.
The Unicomp is the bulkier of the two keyboards. Both have a similarly lengthy two metre USB cable, but the Unicomp has the more utilitarian look, with contrasting matt-black base and light-grey keys. Both keyboards are plug-and-play with Windows, Linux or Mac OS X. We gave a Das Keyboard Professional and a Unicomp model to four touch-typists to get their impressions after several days of use and typing tests. Users said the Unicomp seemed slightly louder, but noted that while not unbearable for a single user, a room full of typists going hell for leather on either keyboard would create a considerable din. Results from our user panel typing tests showed a slight increase in both speed and accuracy overall, compared to the standard soft-touch keyboards on our work machines here, when using the Unicomp and Das Keyboard Pro and the consensus was that they feel better to use. Not all would buy one though — for at least one user the noise was a deal-breaker and the quietness of a standard keyboard was preferred.
Quality keyboards never go out of style, it seems. If you pride yourself on your typing you might want to give one of these typists' tools a try. Purists will likely go for the classic feel of the modern Model M clone, but our user panel narrowly gave the nod to the Das Keyboard Pro for being slightly quieter, looking sleeker and including a USB hub. Both keyboards may give your speed and accuracy a boost. If nothing else, the clicky audible feedback promotes a satisfying feeling of productivity when you're hammering away. In the end it comes down to personal preference, but if you pride yourself on your typing, one of these classy keyboards will set you apart from the crowd.

Re: Steelers to hire Redskins Danny Smith as special teams coach
The Steelers are reportedly prepared to announce a new addition to their coaching staff, after their former special teams coordinator became a Cardinal and flew the coop.
As was reported previously on Behind The Steel Curtain, the Pittsburgh Steelers had requested permission for the second time to interview Washington Redskins special teams coach, Danny Smith. This time they were granted permission and the interview took place, and apparently it was a successful one.
Dan Hellie, of Washington D.C. NBC affiliate WRC, is reporting sources claiming Smith is preparing to become the new ST coach in Pitsburgh. Hellie's job requires him to maintain an intimacy with the team he is paid to follow. While his report has yet to be confirmed, there would be little reason to fabricate a definite departure of a positional coach.
Smith has led the Redskins special teams units since 2004. He spent prior years with the Buffalo Bills, Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles.
In Pittsburgh, Smith will have plenty to do if the job is actually made his. While the Steelers were able to create room for returners to create positive field position, poor discipline and foolish penalties repeatedly negated any progress. The team also seeks to improve its kick coverage units, which allowed a few untimely returns in crucial moments.
Sophomore punter Drew Butler will require some fine tuning as he played like an undrafted rookie at times during 2012, failing to trap opponents in their own territory or affect the battle for field position. Mostly reliable Shaun Suisham could become a cap casualty in 2013, forcing the team to develop an unestablished youngster.
To top it off, the team's resident longsnapper Greg Warren is an unrestricted free agent whose accrued seasons may demand a higher salary than the team is willing to commit. Warren has been solid throughout his time in Pittsburgh, although his worst snap of the season played a part in the Steelers demise during the final stretch of the 2012 regular season.
While Smith's presence does not automatically mean increased production or guaranteed fixes, perhaps a fresh perspective may be enough for the Steelers special teams units to break out of some counter-productive bad habits.

my mate just had his focus in at a non ford garage and was told the cylinder head gasket was gone this was based on the dash trick engine temperature which showed 143 degrees and that the alternator was faulty as it was charging at 14.5v all this for a car that was in for a service needless to say he wasnt happy so i said take it to ford who laughed and told him theres 2 sensors one for the coolant which is what shows up on the temp gauge and a cylinder head temperature sensor which is what is shown on the dash test the 143 degrees was not coolant temp but the temp of the metal on the cylinder head and theres roughly a 40 degree difference between the 2 so if cht is 143 the engine coolant is 103 there fore the fan will kick in as it did and the alt and battery were in fact fine as i already told him but the garage had him so worried he wouldnt listen short story dont trust garages who dont have a clue

money grabbing *£$%'s
i can remember my first car (peugeot 307), took it to peugeot dealers for a service...they rang me and said it needs alot of work doing. i asked price and they said about £3k!!!! i just said do the service, write down what needs doing and ill look into it.
so i get the car back, take it straight to a mate who knows alot about cars (used to work for VOSA) and still currently sorts my car and MOTs it. i show him the report and he laughed as he had it a week earlier doing the bearings! but nevertheless he gets on checking it, in front of me...showing me what he's looking for... he goes there is nothing wrong with that mate, they have just seen a young lad with a silver credit card so they'll try and rip you off!!
i will say however. if you compare ford dealers to peugeot dealers, ford are better hands down! i have never had an issue with ford (touch wood i wont) peugeot parts are seriously over priced and think people are stupid.
another story regarding peugeot dealers...my locking nut key was degrading, i was going through tyres and the garages were using windy guns!!! also reading horror stories on the forums i decided to bin the locking nuts...it was 2010 and no one nicks alloys anymore! so i replaced 3 of the 4 no problem but 1 was stuck solid...so i pay kwikfit and they wouldnt touch it. so i went to peugeot....they turned around and said (no word of a lie here) "it will cost £80 for the diagnostic" i says "what diagnostic?!? its a locking wheel nut stuck" they reply "maybe so, but we will need to hook the computer up and do a full diagnosis on the wheel" i just laughed and said "eff of mate, i own a peugeot planet lexia tool and it doesnt do that...you have just lost a customer" and walked out....in the end the fella who does all the work did it for me by the use of a windy gun, impact wrench and a big hammer lol

Now Introducing the Burj Dubai
Dubai has made headlines in recent weeks for its financial woes, and many are saying this once-booming desert metropolis has gone bust. But the emirate does have something to celebrate: The Burj Dubai, the world's tallest building, is due to officially open on January 4.
Based on what you have seen and read about this project, how would you grade it? Use the stars below to indicate your assessment, five stars being the highest rating.
Precisely how many feet this superlative tower rises into the sky remains a mystery. "The final height is still being guarded closely," says George Efstathiou, FAIA, managing partner in charge of the project at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. "We're bound to keep it a secret."
The skyscraper is widely believed to be 2,684 feet tall, but recent changes to the way the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat measures building height complicates such estimates. Still, regardless of final calculations, the Burj Dubai will rise considerably higher than Taiwan's 1,667-foot-tall Taipei 101, which opened in 2004 and has held the record for the world's tallest building in terms of "height to architectural top."
Situated in the city center, the roughly 160-story Burj Dubai will consist primarily of luxury apartments, office space, and an Armani Hotel. Encompassing more than 3 million square feet above grade, with an additional 2 million square feet below, the tower was built with some 327,000 cubic yards of concrete and 35,700 metric tons of rebar. At the peak of design activity, SOM had a team of 100 employees dedicated to the project in its Chicago office, along with a handful in Dubai.
The tower was originally scheduled to be completed in 2008, but developer Emaar pushed the date back several times in response to height modifications, construction worker strikes, and changes to interior finishes. "The obstacles were nothing more than normal" for a supertall tower, Efstathiou reports, noting that in terms of structure, the building was on solid footing from the beginning due to its Y-shaped base. He adds that although the tower will formally open in January, "polishing" work will continue for a few months.
Efstathiou says his team's excitement has escalated in recent months, as the building nears completion. But he adds, "There's also some sadness that this journey we've been on for over six years is now coming to an end."

Telstra raises $1.2bn at 3.5pc
PUBLISHED: 15 Mar 2012 09:46:00 | UPDATED: 16 Mar 2012 02:42:02PUBLISHED: 16 Mar 2012 PRINT EDITION: 16 Mar 2012John McDuling and Jonathan Shapiro
Telstra has raised €1 billion ($1.23 billion) in 10-year bonds at an interest rate of 3.5 per cent as investors await a board decision on capital management.
The company said the raising was part of its normal debt refinancing program. It has about $2.25 billion in debt maturing this year and is also facing a steep bill to renew its existing licences and compete in auctions later this year for spectrum – the airspace needed to operate its mobile networks.
The raising comes just a week after Telstra received its first NBN-related payment from the commonwealth government, worth $300 million last week. The payment came earlier than expected.
Telstra recently secured billions of dollars of payments during the next decade, with a net present value of $11 billion for participating in the NBN. The telco has locked in 30-year leases for its tunnels, manholes and exchanges that NBN Co will use to build its network and payments for transferring customers onto the new network.
Chairman Catherine Livingstone and chief executive David Thodey have both flagged an intention to consider capital management initiatives once these cash flows are secured. Speculation is mounting that Telstra will launch a share buyback or initiate a special dividend after its next board meeting. Broker estimates range from $500 million to $2 billion, on various time frames.
The debt raising follows an investor roadshow conducted towards the end of February and is Telstra's second European bond raising since November 2011 when it raised €1 billion of 10.5 year bonds.
The bond sale was complicated somewhat by uncertainty about Telstra's credit rating after rating agency Standard & Poor's retained its negative outlook on the company's "A" credit rating, even after NBN agreements were finalised, amid uncertainty about its capital management plans.
But Telstra's bond offer was extremely well received amid a resurgent primary corporate bond market in the US and Europe. The Australian telco received more than €6 billion ($7.4 billion) of bids for its transaction in just an hour after launching the transaction and the bonds rallied by 7 basis points in early trading.
Telstra paid a margin of 115 basis points over the mid-swap rate, lower than the 145 basis point margin it paid for its 10½ -year bond issue in November – a further sign that sentiment in credit markets is improving.
The bond raising was managed by Deutsche Bank, HSBC and JPMorgan.

Conducted researches prove that there is groving popularity in social login. It is very likely that user will leave your site, if they are forced to sing up through complex registration form. Users are looking for easier and faster ways to create web application's accounts, usually by reusing their existing profiles on popular services. Offering log in with Facebook, Google, Miicard, and other providers is a common feature for the most of modern web applications. It makes user's life much easier, but implementing such options may give quite a few developers a headache. Getting to know various authorization protocols (OAuth 1.0, OAuth 1.0a, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SAML, etc.), learning specific implementation's of these protocols, consuming various providers' APIs and continuously monitoring their changes are common tasks for websites that supports social login.
It would be much easier to have service that works with various authorization protocols, integrates with popular login providers, handles security issues and expose unified API that any web aplication can integrate with in no more that 10 minutes. This functionality is offered by Connect from Cloud Identity. Through integration with single Connect's API your site can accept user's with accounts on Facebook, Google, PayPal, Miicard, Yahoo, Windows Live, among the others.

It's been a while since i drew my alter ego in her animal form X//3 I had a lot of fun drawing her like this again <3
I worked on my style because i want to make her more fox-ish. I like how it came out, especially her head and the coloring <3
I really love her ;v;. She reflects me so good. I dunno how many years i go with her design already. If i changed something it was only a very little thing (like the leg and eartip color from black to purple)
I'll keep her in my heart forever <3

In Matthew 25, Christ teaches his disciples an important lesson about stewardship. He tells them the story of a master who, before leaving on a journey, entrusted each of his servants with a certain amount of money, or talents. Upon his return, he asked them to account for what they had done with the sums given to them. Those who had invested the talents wisely were rewarded with more responsibility. But the one who did not, the one who held onto the talent and didn't let it bear fruit, was stripped of his responsibility.
Through that parable, Jesus helps us see that the question for his disciples is not how much we've been entrusted with, but rather what we do with what we've been given.
That's Christian stewardship. It is the careful and responsible management of the financial resources God has entrusted to us. We are all called to use what God has given us prudently and faithfully, providing for our own needs, while at the same time, helping build up his kingdom in the world.
When you make a planned gift to Franciscan University you are exercising faithful Christian stewardship. You are giving back to God, using your resources to bring glory and honor to Him.
Gift planning means choosing ways to give to Franciscan University that help you meet both your financial and charitable goals. We can work with you and your financial advisor to help you find ways to give that will allow you to earn income, pay fewer taxes, and get more from your estate. Planned gifts are a wonderful way to help others while helping oneself. With thoughtful planning, we all have the power to make a substantial difference. That's what effective gift planning is all about.
The number one reason people provide financial support to Franciscan University is they believe in what we do and want to help us fulfill our mission—educating the next generation of faithful Catholic leaders according to the mind and heart of the Church.
When you include Franciscan University in your estate, you declare to your family and friends that you believe in and care about our mission. Your planned gift becomes a clear declaration of your Christian faith. It also is a direct investment in the future of those who will dedicate their lives to serving the Church and building a culture of life in the world
The best way to achieve your goals is to contact Franciscan University and begin a conversation with us. The possibilities and means used to make a gift are best considered in a dialogue that helps you to decide what you really want and lets you know what your options are for making that happen.
Once you've decided this, the next step may be visiting a trustworthy attorney or accountant to receive their input. It is important to have professional advice from someone who knows your finances, assets, and income; possesses expertise in the area of taxes and/or estate planning; and has a legal responsibility to look out for your best interests. Franciscan University's Gift Planning Office can be in contact with you and your professional advisor to assist in the process of planning and completing your gift.
Sometimes a gift to Franciscan University requires a good bit of conversation. A donor may face questions and concerns about how to do this. These conversations are confidential.
To help with the gift-planning process, Franciscan University provides a planned giving director who is available to assist you.

Police in Meriden and Southington are looking for suspects in separate armed robberies, while Wallingford police have arrested two men in a 2011 armed robbery.
Colony Market at 640 Old Colony Road in Meriden was robbed Monday morning at about 8:45 a.m. Lt. Sal Nesci said a man entered the store, went behind the counter, pushed the clerk out of the way and showed a knife. The man took money from the register and several packs of cigarettes, Nesci said. Nesci said he appeared unrushed and calm during the incident and fled in a black pickup truck. No injuries were reported. Police said the man was wearing a hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans, a black knit hat and a scarf covering the lower half of his face, Nesci said.
In Southington, police responded to the Mobile Gas Station on the Meriden-Waterbury Turnpike about 3 a.m. on Monday. Sgt. Jeffrey Dobratz said the clerk saw a man approach him from the main entrance. The man grabbed the clerk's shirt and put an unknown item, believed to be a knife, to the clerk's neck, Dobratz said. He pushed the clerk toward the register and said he "wasn't going to kill him," Dobratz said. The man grabbed cash, estimated to be several hundred dollars, from the register and left the store. Officers tried to track him with a police dog, but the trail ended at the driveway to the Home Depot on Knotter Drive, Dobratz said.
Police are looking for a white man about 6 feet tall and 180 pounds, wearing a white hooded sweatshirt with the hood over his head. The suspect had a full red or brown beard and was wearing dark colored sweatpants, Dobratz said.
Meanwhile, Wallingford police arrested two men in a 2011 armed robbery case a little more than two years after it occurred. The Sunoco Gas Station on River Road was robbed on Dec. 16, 2011. At about 10 p.m., a man walked into the store and showed a handgun to the clerk, then fled after taking cash, Wallingford Sgt. John Ventura said. The case was unresolved until police received information linking two men to the crime. The Detective Division reopened the investigation and identified Gary Williams, 25, and Tyler Liversidge, 24, both of Wallingford, as suspects. Ventura said Liversidge entered the store while Williams waited outside and drove the getaway car.
Liversidge faces charges including first-degree robbery, conspiracy and criminal possession of a firearm.
The charges against Williams include conspiracy to commit first-degree robbery and carrying a pistol without a permit.

Yeah, I'm addicted to this thing. Of course, no one likes a quitter, and why should you quit something beautiful like this?
By this I am talking about the enjoyable Outside of the Park -- OOTP to others -- series of baseball simulations. The name of the company that makes this lovely thing is Out of the Park Developments (http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/).
My gaming experience began right as OOTP4 was leaving and version 5 was coming in. I joined my first league and was awed by the intricacies of it. With most of the fantasy baseball I had played, I had to only control a major league team, not even payroll was regarded. But here was a different story. I had to factor in payroll -- and sometimes a salary cap -- which really was difficult when setting together a championship caliber team. Well, I figured I'd just dump my higher paid players who weren't doing much; fans stopped coming to my game, another feature is fan happiness. Well, at least my farm system prospered slightly well, even though my major league team didn't. Right when the offseason rolled around, I desperately needed to reel in some starting pitchers, but the "owner" of the team cut back on my finances a little, which really left me out of the running for Ramon Ortiz, who, in the simulation league, was awesome (who said it was perfect?). Well, I used my younger players and coaches (hitting, pitching, and minor league) to rebuild my team, the San Francisco Giants. Oh, the Amateur Draft helped out, too.
And now Out of the Park 6 has been released and, while slightly more confusing, it is defintely a good buy. The game has more features like Rule V draft, waivers, options years on minor league players, and many more things. These games definitely put you in the driver's seat of your own team.
But I know that you're skeptical and not going to take my word for it.
"OOTP Baseball is the best simulation I've ever played. It puts you right into the game. Best game I've ever played," said a longtime OOTP Gamer.
Michael Seely probably says it best when talking about the companionship and fun you get when playing the game: "I started using OOTP4 in 1997, running two leagues and was great staying up late at night to sim and update the websites. Over the years upgrading to 5 and then 6 this has been a addiction of stats but more so the enjoyment of running two league for so many years and meeting the 100's of online buddies."
Of course if you own the game, you might have fun simulating a league. Many leagues are out there, and it's pretty much like regular fantasy baseball. Sometimes you join a league and it dies or full of cheaters, but there are plenty of good leagues with plenty of competition. One of those is BTTF, a league I have been in for about 3 seasons.
Creator and Commissioner Steve Strzepek on OOTP6: "I use to be in many Diamond Mind baseball leagues, a sim of previous seasons, and then I found OOTP3 back in 2001 and loved it enough after joining one league, then two and three, so I started my own -- BTTF (http://www.bttf.ootp-leagues.com/ which is in need of a few owners) -- and quit DMB all together. The biggest reason was that there was so much flexibility with OOTP, and with OOTP6 there are so many options that mirror real life baseball like waivers, free agency, rule V, option years, coaches, and spring training." The hardest things -- "website creation and maintenance" -- are easy to get out of the way if you have a league member or friend with HTML prowess.
As of right now, I'm in two leagues. One of them being the Back to the Future (BTTF - http://www.bttf.ootp-leagues.com/) as the Charlotte Knights in 2018 and the other being Daily News Baseball League (DNBL - http://dnbl.net/) as the New York Yankees in 2005. With these games you can zoom far into the future, or take a trip back into the past and replay games with Roger Clemens when he was young.
I give the game a ranking of three balls, and should be a definite buy for someone with the computer good enough to run the game and time to get into it. This series just continues to impress me, as well as many gamers out there.
Our Rating System is based on a four ball system as follows:
One Ball: Average. It has something to say but is nothing special.
Two Balls: Something men usually have - also means its a cut above average, and worth reading/owning.
Three balls: Stands out from its peers and is highly recommended.
Four Balls: More than just what two men have when hanging out together, it means it is an exceptional book that truly earns a walk - straight to the local book store to get a copy.

You're at the home ofLondon's No.1independent opticians.
The Camden Contact Lens Centre UK began in 1985 in London, (Tufnell Park). After a very successful operation for 3 years, the business relocated to very large premises in the heart of Camden town. It was decided we would offer the public contact lenses at an affordable price and a fast and efficient optical service. At London Opticians most spectacles and contact lenses are available on the same day. This led to a rapid growth of our business and as a result we became one of the largest independent London opticians and possibly the largest in the UK. The Camden Contact Lens Centre UK is committed to ongoing improvements to service. Currently it supports patients all over the UK. We are one of the few London opticians in the UK to stock most contact lenses including major manufacturers such as Bausch & Lomb, Ciba Vision, Johnson and Johnson, Acuvue and Cooper Vision. We cover the whole variety of available lenses such as daily disposables, monthly and two-weekly replacements. We also offer a range of coloured contact lenses, Toric and Multifocals.
Camden Contact Lens Centre UK offer some of the best deals on designer frames and hi-index lenses in London. We offer the same day service in most cases. We are also one of the few London opticians to have the latest technology in glazing machines.

For some, this involves adopting a new exercise regimen; for others, it means changing their eating habits. Of course, many of us choose to do both, and an astounding number of us turn to supplements to help keep us healthy. According to recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), half of all Americans take dietary supplements, including multivitamins, minerals and herbs, to help with their overall health, weight loss or even strength training efforts. As an avid runner, I know firsthand how supplements can support your performance and help you feel better. But as a chemist specializing in dietary supplements, I also know that some supplements on the market contain ingredients that can have adverse effects on your long-term health. While most of the ingredients themselves are legal, they have health consequences when mixed with other ingredients and medications. Even exercise levels can impact how these ingredients affect your health. For example, when you're working out with an elevated heart rate, caffeine has an entirely different effect on your body compared to when you're at a resting heart rate. For me personally, a balanced diet, regular exercise, a multivitamin and supplements that have been tested and certified (so you can trust what's on the label is in the package) such as fish oil, B12 and Vitamin D are the best approach toward leading a healthier life. But if you're looking for an additional edge, it's important to remember that it is possible to attain that desired healthy look in a healthy manner. Supplements can be beneficial as long as you're aware of which ingredients to avoid. With a multitude of supplements lining the shelves of stores it can be difficult to know which are okay to use and which to avoid. To help, here are the 10 ingredients you should avoid in supplements of any kind.

Nantucket , Massachusetts
Tel: 508 228 2121
Concierge.com's insider take:
A mainstay of the Nantucket dining scene since 1985, this handsome, romantic cluster of rooms in a restored 1847 house is one of the toughest reservations in season (though Tommy Hilfiger doesn't seem to have a problem getting a table). But judging from a dinner visit, the people-watching might be a bigger draw than the food. Stick to the reliable and ever-popular surf-and-turfa grilled half lobster with braised short ribs. The bar at 21 (as the regulars abbreviate it) is a popular gathering place after the kitchen closes, and the outdoor back bar is a little-known island highlight.
Dinner only. Open mid-May through mid-October.

According to Seijas, Malatak, instead of accepting the parking tickets and canceling them, picked up the phone and called Howard Gross. After finishing his conversation, Seijas says, Malatak handed back the tickets with the explanation that Gross was upset because Cassis had fallen behind in its payments to the law firm.
Seijas says he related this incident during interviews with agents from the FBI and members of the U.S. Attorney's public corruption unit. Neither agency will confirm or deny meeting with Seijas, but a knowledgeable federal source acknowledges that officials listened to Seijas, considered him credible, and opened an investigation that remains active.
Malatak denies the incident ever took place and says he is unaware of any investigation into his conduct as a public official. "I'm not a hit man," he protests. "If Mousey had a problem with them [Cassis], he had to work that out himself." He insists he never would have delivered such a ridiculous message to Seijas. If he refused to cancel certain of Seijas's parking tickets, it must have had something to do with the citations themselves.
Gross refuses to elaborate. "I do not discuss any clients," he says flatly. His response to Seijas's allegations of ticket-fixing: "That is one of the silliest questions I've heard in a long time. I don't fix anything."
Cassis's star rose quickly on the South Beach scene. While the food often received glowing reviews, it was the clientele A from old-money Europeans to leather-clad bikers A that made Cassis the place to be seen. It became a favorite haunt of part-time developer and full-time bad boy Thomas Kramer. Sting, Stallone, Madonna, even newsman David Brinkley were drawn to the restaurant. "Nobody knew Fabian," Latapie says in taking credit for attracting the celebrities. "They knew me. I brought them there."
The Cassis investors eagerly basked in the restaurant's immediate popularity. Each had a private house account to which he could charge his bills. Mel Harris in particular enjoyed bringing along guests and treating them to an evening of food, drink, and merriment. Financially it was difficult to imagine how Cassis couldn't be a winner.
But success bred imitation -- and competition. In 1992 and 1993, so many new restaurants opened on South Beach, especially along Washington Avenue, it was hard to keep track of them. By the end of last year, according to the company's unaudited financial statement, Cassis showed a net profit of only $69,000, despite revenues of $1.7 million.
The effort to cut costs, Seijas says, led to a policy of cutting corners, which included efforts to dodge taxes by hiding income. Seijas claims that from the outset, many employees would receive part of their salary by check and the rest of it under the table in cash. Valentine Serrano, Cassis's original bookkeeper, confirms the practice. "Some people were being paid on the payroll and some were paid partially in cash," Serrano acknowledges. "They didn't want the payroll to appear too big." Serrano, however, declines to provide more detail. "I'm an old man," he says. "I really don't want to be involved."
In order to pay employees in cash some portion of the restaurant's revenue had to be diverted from the normal flow of bookkeeping. The plan, which Seijas claims was introduced by Latapie, was simple but ingenious. Each day before opening for dinner, every Cassis waiter would receive a stack of numbered checks to use in taking orders. If a customer paid a $50 dinner tab using cash, the waiter's check might later be removed from its numbered sequence, discarded, and $50 would be pulled from the cash register before a bookkeeper recorded daily revenues.
Some days later a new, unused check with the same number would be inserted among those distributed to waiters. (This could be accomplished because Cassis, according to Seijas, always ordered waiters' checks in duplicate.) If the financial books were ever examined, each check could be accounted for, even if some were out of sequence, and there would be no clue that cash was missing.
This practice provided a couple of advantages. First, the money pulled from the register would not face federal business taxes and local resort taxes. And second, by paying people part of their salary off the books in cash, the restaurant would also cut down on the unemployment, workers compensation, and social security contributions it owed the government.
Seijas says he initially went along with the scheme because he thought it was the only way for the restaurant to survive. He also claims he was told this was a common practice in the industry. But after several months, Seijas says, he began protesting these policies because he felt they were wrong (if not illegal). His complaints did lead to action: On September 24, 1992, he was removed as president of the corporation that owned Cassis and was fired from his $1000-per-week position as restaurant manager.
Franaois Latapie counters that Seijas was fired as manager and removed as president because he was a lousy worker who mismanaged Cassis. After his removal, Latapie claims, piles of unopened bills were discovered, bills Seijas had neglected. Seijas, he says, was also delinquent in paying the restaurant's taxes. Furthermore, Latapie says the board of directors felt Seijas had abandoned the restaurant after Hurricane Andrew by taking a three-week vacation despite the fact that Cassis had been damaged by the storm.

Australian Women's Health Summit
Women's Health: the New National Agenda
Thursday 20 September 2007
The Australian Women's Health Summit, Women's Health: the New National Agenda, was attended by over 100 delegates from around Australia representing a cross section of government departments, both at the Federal and State/Territory level, peak women's organizations, Aboriginal leaders from around the country, and community organisations.
The Summit followed the release of the AWHN discussion paper, Women's Health: the New National Agenda, which was the focus of the day. The Summit was addressed by a range of key leaders in various aspects of women's health who stimulated lively discussion and debate.
Aboriginal leaders, who had come together as the Indigenous Women's Talking Circle the day before the Summit, tabled their support for the discussion paper and their wish for Aboriginal women's health issues to be included in the New National Agenda.
Following the Summit, further feedback on the discussion paper is being sought. A final version, incorporating comments from across Australia and a plan of action, will be released early next year.

4th AUSTRALIAN WOMENS HEALTH CONFERENCE
This statement summarises the findings of the 4th national Womens Health Conference, organised by the Womens Health Network and held from 19-21 February 2001 in Adelaide. The conference was attended by 550 registrants who represented health workers, womens health services, consumers, policy officers and researchers.
The Conference confirmed the fundamental importance to womens health of the social model of health and re-affirmed its appropriateness for achieving the best health outcomes for women in their diversity, from all population groups.
The tendency for policies and programs to be based primarily on risk factor approaches are narrowly based and simplistic in their casual attribution of womens health problems. Risk frameworks are limited in their capacity to deliver good health outcomes because they do not address the social, economic and political factors that affect womens health. In particular, the health of immigrant and refugee women, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women, women with disabilities, lesbian women and women on low-incomes especially those with dependent children, have emerging and recurring health issues of considerable concern.
This conference recognised the lack of strategic policy agenda at the Commonwealth level, for womens health. The Commonwealth has dismantled infrastructure for broad-based womens policy that addresses the health, social and economic determinants of womens health is necessary top ensure funding and commitment is manifested, for broad-based womens health policies, strategies and programs in the States and Territories.
Significant issues for womens health include
The continuing need for research, policy development and program commitment to reduce violence against women and girls in all population groups recognising the long-term effects of domestic and sexual violence on womens emotional and mental health;
A cultural abyss between the health, social and educational needs of ATSI women and girls and the Western systems and ways of addressing these. This is evident in the limited number of and poor outcomes from efforts to address violence, maternity and birthing issues, reproductive health and contraception, chronic illness and education;
Low levels of participation by immigrant and refugee women in womens health programs as service users, health workers or decision makers;
The invisibility of lesbian health issues in mainstream services, especially social and emotional factors and the lack of research to inform improved health system responses to lesbian health issues;
Funding for womens health appears to be diminishing, with a concentration on short-term, often tokenistic programs and projects without the capacity for long-term commitment to sustainable change for womens health;
The lack of recognition by the Commonwealth and some States and Territories, of gendered womens health models of care that has resulted in an increasingly despondent sector that is nonetheless determined to re-energise its commitment for a renewed National Womens Health Policy and Program;
The Governments failure to sign and ratify the Optional Protocol to the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW);
Increasing privatisation of the health system which
Threatens the universal provision of services and the accessibility, affordability and availability of the public and community health system for women;
Will increasingly allow the private health insurance to dictate program philosophy and implementation and the quality and level of care that women receive;
Will not be subject to regulation or policy guidance from Commonwealth policy and program frameworks;
May not contain adequate processes for the consumer participation in policy and program development.

How leader states influence EU policy-making: Analysing the expert strategy
Research focusing on the leader-laggard dynamic in EU policy-making has significantly contributed to our understanding of why EU policies often go beyond the least common denominator and why policies look the way they do. The literature has also provided plausible arguments about the incentives for leader states to do so, but it has given less attention to the question of how leader states achieve this outcome. This article aims to shed some light on this question by focusing on the expert strategy: the mobilisation of government officials and related experts who possess a high level of content expertise to advance leader states' interest in EU policy-making. The expert strategy is analysed with reference to the Dutch government's involvement in EU chemical policy (REACH).

If you could double the active lifespan of a (sane, healthy) individual, you'd get twice the amount of work for the same amount of high-school and college man-years. It's simple economy of scale.
New ideas are usually adopted once the old people with the old ideas dies . Classic example is the theory of relativity. There were brilliant physicist of their time who went to their graves refuting Einstein's theory because they had invested too much of their time and effort in the status quo. Furthermore, acceptance of the theory of relativity would have meant their work was invalid.
What was surprising to me was the fact that something written in the 60's about software development is still very relevant today.
The engineers who worked on the IBM System/360 OS discovered software engineering through pure trial and error.
One of the classic insights from the book that I've seen companies (i.e. Microsoft) violate over and over is Brooke's Law. Brooke's law states that "adding manpower to a late software project makes it later." It is incredible how we reinvent the wheel everyday instead of taking time learn the from the trials and mistakes of others.
Another surprising insight to me at the time was the following. Although the engineers were working on a very technical problem, the biggest challenges they had to overcome were social/people challenges.
"Our conclusion is there is a small but definite chance that RSA and classic Diffie-Hellman will not be usable for encryption purposes in four to five years," said Stamos
Laymen terms: There is a small, but non-zero probability that an asteroid will collide into the earth and destroy civilization in the next 4 or 5 years
My thought: There is a non-zero probability of INSERT_UNLIKELY_EVENT happening in the next 4 or 5 years. Should we panic? Nah. That is called life... There are no guarantees. If we worried about unlikely events happening...we'd be in a state of paranoia, fear, and constant worry of the next catastrophe. Oh wait....wrong thread.
Take fire insurance for example. A fire that happens in say Miami, FL is most likely not going to increase the risk of a fire occurring in Seattle, WA. Therefore a fire insurance company can make sure that the clients they select are geographically distributed to distribute the risk AND minimize the risk correlation.
In contrast, Cyber Insurance is somewhat unique from typical insurance because there is an inherent correlated risk that you run into regardless of how and where you choose your clients. Most clients run the same OS (Windows) and use the same software and AV packages. Therefore, a data breach that occurs with one client can mean other clients can be at immediate risk to also have a data breach
So what can happen is that a cyber insurance company can end up needing to pay out more money than they collect because breaches can happen concurrently or consecutively.
This random system then prevents people from spending all their time scheming to set up the ideal circumstances where all the other candidates have been pushed under a bus. Also then they don't owe any favors for their job.
Even with that method....you would have the same problem. This is because of how a "qualified" candidate will most likely be defined. The "qualified" candidates will be the ones that are the most adept at politicking (i.e. backstabbing) and marketing (i.e. look at all the amazing things I do for company Z) themselves.
So you'd have a random pool of people who were all scheming and calculating there way to the top.
The advantage of synching and sharing with random peers is increased bandwidth and more redundancy in case one or more of your devices are not working or have limited network connectivity.
Imagine you are an executive at a company that makes a gadget that users interact with. The user pays for the gadget along with the interactive services that the gadget provides.
Lets also suppose that the gadget is very popular and has a large user base. Being a profit-seeking individual, you as an executive come up with the genius idea of integrating ads into the gadget.
You demonstrate that by introducing ads you can immediately impact the bottom line in a positive manner (at least in the short term). Since most businesses are short-term oriented, everyone is excited. Your genius idea is implemented and you get a bonus that is commensurate with the money your idea brings in.
All the executives line their pocket and live happily ever after. As far as the consumers who were buying your gadget, if they eventually stop buying/using your gadget, so what. You got yours (golden parachute opens).....The end.
In any bureaucratic organization there will be two kinds of people: those who work to further the actual goals of the organization, and those who work for the organization itself.
Unions can be a victim of the Iron law. The people who put their energy into furthering the goals of the union are almost always politically out-muscled and displaced by the people who preserve the union itself. So at the end, only those who preserve the union are left.
Imagine person A is lobbying for things that will actually make a difference for fellow workers. While Person A is lobbying, person B is figuring out how get the union to grow and get stronger. Person B is making political connections and becoming more powerful while person A is in the trenches fighting for the workers causes. Its no surprise that it is Person B that ends up rising to the top.
So at the end of the day, unions can be a double edged sword. They have the potential to make meaningful changes, but as they grow in size, there is a potential to begin focusing on doing things that keep the union in existence/power instead of doing what is best for the workers.
When you go out to buy, don't show your silver.

TREK Vet, X-FILES and THE RING Actors Round Out Supporting Romulan Cast
Typhon Station is a very fastpaced PBeM RPG with skilled, experienced players and a warm sense of bonding and community. We play at the turn-of-the-century, 2400, and are located in the Typhon Expanses, bordering the Neutral Zone, proximate to the Romulan Empire, and near the Iconian Digs, and are on the first warning route of the original Borg Incursion. We have three stations to post from, SB 185, USS Odyssey, and USS Wraith. They all have general and particular storylines and all interact. This game is not for the faint of heart! The writing is superb and comes hot and heavy. We have some open spots and also we will consider character suggestions. So, longtime RPGers and novices, check us out. See if you want to make Typhon Station your home away from home.(0 comments | Add)
German web site TrekZone.de posted the first information about some of the supporting actors in STAR TREK NEMESIS. Shannon Cochran plays Romulan Senator 'Tal'Aura', a true ally of 'Shinzon'. Cochran is a TREK veteran, guesting as 'Kalita' in ST:TNG's "Preemptive Strike" and 'Sirella' in ST:DS9's "You Are Cordially Invited..." She can be seen currently as 'Anna Morgan' in the DreamWorks Pictures horror movie THE RING.
Jude Ciccolella, who played 'Mike Novick' in 24 and 'McKensie' in next year's DAREDEVIL will play the Romulan Commander Suran. Suran is an elder Romulan officer, respected and tenacious.
Finally, Alan Dale ("Toothpick Man" in the 'X-Files' episodes "Provenance", "Providence" and "The Truth") will play Praetor Hiren. Hiren is the President of the Romulan Senate. He is not willing to make compromises but rather wants to banish Shinzon and the Reman back into the dilithium mines as quickly as possible, according to the site.
More information and images of the actors can be found here.

TfL to consult on east London bridge proposal
Transport for London will next week launch a fresh consultation on a bridge linking Newham and Greenwich.
It comes just days after supporters for a crossing in the region unveiled designs for how it could look.
London Chamber of Commerce and Industry commissioned planners ARUP and HOK to put together the proposal. It says the £600million costs can be met by business rates and community levies or tolling.
The subject of a crossing in the area last came up on a question in the SIlvertown consultation and was met with overwhelming public support.
TfL had proposed a new ferry for the area.
However, a spokeswoman said the new consultation would consider a bridge as well.
She said: "TfL will shortly be commencing a further consultation on ferry and bridge options to the east at Woolwich, Gallions Reach and Belvedere, connecting Woolwich to the Royal Docks, Thamesmead to Beckton and Belvedere to Rainham respectively."
However, proposals for a bridge will be heavily opposed by environmentalists who say it will merely encourage more traffic and more congestion.
Meanwhile, TfL is looking to hold another study into proposals for Silvertown Tunnel, linking Greenwich Peninsula with the Royal Docks.
And it wants to secure approval for the tunnel by next year with construction taking place in eight years' time.
The spokeswoman said: "[The tunnel] will be consulted on further in the autumn with a view to seeking powers in 2015 and ultimately constructing the crossing by 2022."

Trojan Horus commented on the blog post Senate Democrats Really Don't Want to Govern
The mistake the writer makes is to think that the knaves in the Senate, who have been bought and paid for by the corporate dollar, actually feel any facility to do anything except what they're told when it comes to voting about anything that affect the vested interests of the 1%. Half of the Democrats there are as Republican as that uber-republican good old Joe Leiberman.
Trojan Horus commented on the blog post Obama Adviser Robert Gibbs Blames Denver Teen's 'Terrorist' Father for His Drone Death
interesting analogy with Dublin in the seventies… There was however a shoot to kill policy informally instituted and tacitly approved by Thatcher. Quite a scandal in Gibraltar when the SAS were engaged with "taking out" several provisional IRA suspects. Some might argue that targeted assassination has always been the dirty business of Governments, of which drones are just the most disgusting, if logical development.

The non waiver deadline has recently become more media hype than anything. Will there be a few deals, sure, but I expect there to be more activity after the deadline.

Halo Rods: A different breed of fishing rod
April 5, 2013 / Rods & Reels
Over the past 3 – 5 years the fishing industry has become exhausted with new fishing rod companies and has almost confused the consumer. That being said, the best thing about having all of these different choices, is it allows us to figure out exactly what type or rod we need, whether it be a casting or spinning rod, a flipping stick or finesse stick; the right rod is definitely out there for us.
Technique specific rods paired up with different actions have also really kicked the doors open, as we can now have a rod for; drop shot, shaky heads, tubes, cranks, spinnerbaits and more. Although technique specific rods are popular, most of the rod companies highlight features such as; a featherlite feeling, micro guides and split grip handles. A newer rod company out of Florida, Halo Fishing, offers all of the above, but rather than focusing on the most common features, they decided to tweak the action of their rods to be quite a bit different than other companies.
With the help of Randal Tharp and JT Kenney, Halo has been able to launch a line of fishing rods that are like no other. Sure, Halo offers all the neat features including a featherlite final product, but according to Randal Tharp, you have not used a rod with similar action to Halo.
"The action on Halo rods is like nothing I've used before," explains Tharp. "Their 7'11 flipping stick bends from the handle up, rather than other rods that have 2/3 backbone and than a softer tip. There is an adjustment period for sure, but once you get used to how the rod loads up and the fact that you don't have to set the hook as hard as you do with other rods, it's a really nice rod to use. When you are flipping thick heavy cover like we do in Florida, we are using heavy braid and the rod bending at the handle allows for a little give rather than a rod with all backbone and no stretch 80lb braid."
Based in Florida, Halo has had the benefit of testing their rods on some of messiest, thickest cover in the country, not to mention setting the hook on some of the largest bass in the world. "Halo uses a mix of different graphite, depending on the model," says Tharp. "They are by far the lightest and strongest rods I have used and they have a really unique action. During the design and testing phase, Halo tried a selection of different rods tips before they settled; they really wanted to ensure everything was perfect. The other great thing I think anyways about Halo is their price point. The top of the line Twilite rod retails for $149, but they have the features of more expensive rods. The Daylite series, which is Halo's entry level series is available at Walmart and is as good as any rod I've used before."
Ranging from $79 – $149, Halo Fishing offers both Casting and Spinning rods in a wide selection of different lengths and actions. If you are teetering on the chance of swapping out the old for the different, have a closer look at Halo Fishing.

The magnitude of disability associated with chronic conditions and aging can be measured from a variety of perspectives. Three of these perspectives—prevalence of chronic conditions and their risk of disability, prevalence of multiple chronic conditions, and limitation in basic life activities—will be discussed here. Because some chronic diseases occur before age 65, and because a life course perspective is important for considering chronic disease, aging, and disability, the data presented are not limited to the elderly.
Although the prevalence of chronic illness increases with age and is a major cause of disabling conditions, many elderly persons are healthy and function independently. In 1988, 33.1 million people in the United States, or 13.7 percent of the noninstitutionalized population, reported some limitation of their activities as a result of chronic disease or impairment; 4.3 percent were limited, but not in their major activity; 5.4 percent were limited in the amount or kind of their major activity, and 4 percent—''the most severely disabled"—were unable to carry on their major activity (Table 6-1) (National Center for Health Statistics, 1989a). The prevalence of all three levels of activity limitation increases with age except for those with "severe disabilities," for whom the rates rise from less than one-half of 1 percent for those under 18 years to 16.2 percent for the 65- to 69-year-olds. For those 70 years and older, however, the prevalence rate falls to 7.6 percent. This reduction may be the result of the oldest old population entering institutions when they become severely disabled.
The prevalence of most chronic health conditions varies by age group. Table 6-2 presents estimates from the 1988 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) of the number of chronic conditions and the rate per 1,000 persons for all noninstitutionalized persons and for the population aged 65 and older. The conditions are ranked according to their prevalence in the total population. The five most prevalent chronic conditions for all ages are chronic sinusitis, arthritis, high blood pressure, deformity or orthopedic impairment, and hay fever. For the elderly population, arthritis ranked highest with almost half (49 percent) reporting this condition, followed in rank order by high blood pressure (37 percent), hearing impairment (32 percent), heart disease (30 percent), and chronic sinusitis (12 percent) (Figure 6-1). The relative ranking of conditions depends on how the conditions are grouped. For example, if deformities of the back were shown separately, they would rank eighth for all ages and eleventh for the elderly. When combined with deformities or orthopedic impairments of the upper extremities, as shown in Table 6-2, they rank fourth for all ages and seventh for the

Governor Hassan Proclaims April as Financial Literacy for Youth Month
The New Hampshire Jump$tart Coalition's ongoing effort to build the personal financial management skills of Granite State students have been recognized by Governor Maggie Hassan in a proclamation designating April as Financial Literacy for Youth Month.
Governor Hassan acknowledged that "personal financial education is essential for ensuring that the youth of New Hampshire are prepared to manage money and credit wisely and responsibly." She recognized the "concerned professionals of NH Jump$tart who volunteer their time and energy to promote financial education for New Hampshire's youth to meet these educational goals." In proclaiming Financial Literacy for Youth Month, Governor Hassan "called upon the citizens of this state to encourage and support" the efforts of NH Jump$tart.
Daniel Hebert, NH Jump$tart's President, thanked the Governor for her recognition on behalf of the members of the all-volunteer organization. "NH Jump$tart is comprised of many individuals who are selflessly dedicated to helping our young people gain the skills they will need to be productive and self-sufficient adults. It is heartening to know that Governor Hassan understands how vigorous and persistent these efforts have been," Hebert stated.
