MMOG/LE Automotive Process Maps
To instill individual and departmental understanding of the key self-assessment points of MMOG/LE, QAD has developed MMOG/LE Automotive Process Maps.
The process maps provide a visual, interactive learning aid that our customers use in many different ways, including:
- Documenting processes in the plant for customer audit reviews
- Explaining processes and expectations to employees and validating their understanding
- Documenting procedures and contingency plans for plant processes
- Developing a corporate standard or core model to manage global facilities
- Using a single internal map that highlights plant issues and supports interdepartmental collaboration on continuous improvement efforts
Suppliers can easily customize these process maps to document key processes within their plants.
The process maps provide an interactive tool that can contain up to three levels. The first level of the process maps describes the overall MMOG/LE process as well as the descriptions of the MMOG/LE self-assessment points located at the top of the process map. The first level of the process map is shown below in Figure 1:
Figure 1
At this level, it is used as an overall map of the materials management and logistics process. The first level of the process map is a great tool from which MMOG/LE discussions on best practices can begin between departments such as materials, purchasing, IT, quality and engineering.
In the example below, if the user clicked "Shipping and Packing" at the first level, it would take them to the next level of the map located in Figure 2. At the second level, the maps can be used to further define an individual process. In Figure 2, the details of how shipping and packaging should occur in the plant is displayed. In the second level of the map, other items can be displayed besides the actual process. In the Figure 2 example, a best practice case study, customer returnable container procedures and links to industry standards for best practices for returnable containers are displayed.
Figure 2
At the third level, the actual best practice case study and links to industry documentation, plant procedures, or actual customer or supplier documents are displayed. In addition, the map can take the plant personnel directly into the plant enterprise application or system. In this example, the screen used to input EDI ASN data for customers has been placed on the process map. Clicking on the EDI Advanced Shipping Notice graphic would take the user directly into the screen to input the ASN information for the shipment. In the example in Figure 2, the process map shows a picture of the customer's shipping label, which is depicted in Figure 3 below.
Figure 3
Suppliers can use the process maps as-is to train personnel on MMOG/LE best practices, or as a template that can be customized for specific needs.
OEMs and mature and emerging market suppliers around the world use QAD's MMOG/LE Automotive Process Maps to educate employees, streamline processes, implement best practices, and ensure that key processes with their plants are clearly documented.

Critical Read
FCW reporters and editors read a lot of reports from government agencies, watchdog groups and trade associations to try to bubble up the most interesting, thoughtful, and timely material for our readership of federal IT professionals and the vendors they work with. Here's a look at 10 of the most interesting Critical Read pieces we published in 2013.
1. Better metrics needed for security clearance process: The Government Accountability Office takes a hard look at how the government manages security clearance reviews and renewals. The issue took on added urgency in 2013 with the Navy Yard attack by an IT contractor, and the leak of classified intelligence material by contractor Edward Snowden.
2. The price of NSA surveillance for cloud providers: In a prescient report, Dan Castro at the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation tries to assess the potential financial impact of U.S. network surveillance on cloud providers looking to compete in the global marketplace.
3. GAO's call to action in IT management: David A. Powner's testimony to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee calls for more transparency and visibility into federal IT projects. Powner's prognosis of what's lacking in the oversight of large-scale IT projects is worth a second look in light of the buggy launch of HealthCare.gov.
4. A contracting how-to for agency leaders: The IBM Center for the Business of Government offers an indispensable primer on the procurement process for government workers, vendors and reporters who cover federal contracting.
5. Feds' job satisfaction continues to dive: The release of the annual Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey was delayed because of the partial government shutdown in October. The plunging morale among feds indicate that pay freezes and furloughs are taking their toll.
6. Performance management and budgeting: A report from the Partnership for Public Service on the implementation of the Government Performance and Results Modernization Act of 2010 found that government agencies aren't keeping pace with demands to use performance data to drive business decisions and budgeting.
7. Losing the tech talent sweepstakes: A Ford Foundation report identifies compensation and workplace culture as two reasons the public sector and non-profits are failing to attract and retain talented entry level IT workers.
8. Getting government into high gear: An IBM study looks at operational fixes and training improvements that could help government quicken the tempo of operations.
9. Is FISMA enough: A MeriTalk study finds that the security framework for government cloud providers under the Federal Information Security Management Act might not be sufficient to mitigate threats to federal networks.
10. CIO Council offers social media privacy advice: This set of best practices is a must read for anyone who wants to understand the best practices government employees are supposed to employ when using Twitter, Facebook and other social media.

Virginia's Guide for Parents of First-Year College Students
Information to help your son or daughter make responsible decisions about the use of alcohol.
A Turning Point
Your son or daughter is a first-year college student - what an exciting time! It is a period of preparation and anticipation, excitement and apprehension. This time represents at a turning point in your relationship with your son or daughter. He or she will be away from home, perhaps for the first time and may not admit it, but feels insecure in a new social setting and wants to fit in.
You can be a big help in your student's successful transition to college life. An informational brochure is now available that will help you talk with your son or daughter about underage drinking and for those of age, issues surrounding heavy drinking.
For full details, download the "Virginia's Guide for Parents of First-Year College Students" brochure (PDF File) or order copies from ABC's Education section.
Summary of the "Guide for Parents of First-year College Students" Brochure:
Opportunities and Challenges
Most college students make responsible decisions about the use of alcohol. Yet balancing these new experiences can be difficult.
For many parents and young adults, bringing up the subject of alcohol is not easy. You may be unsure of when or how to begin and your student may try to dodge the conversation.
However, it is important for you to be aware of the risks and consequences associated with alcohol so you can prepare your student. Impaired judgment from drinking can lead to risky behavior causing academic, legal, and personal problems.
For years, scare tactics have been used in an effort to curb risky behavior; however, this strategy has proven cumbersome and inefficient. It is often more effective for you to help your student understand that "not everyone is doing it." They should be aware that students across Virginia are developing positive behaviors concerning drinking.
Where to Draw the Line. Show you care when you talk to your son or daughter. He or she is maturing, and college will bring more freedom. Be direct when discussing drinking at school and talking about safety, money, responsibility, life skills and academics. Along with expectations, it is important to discuss consequences.
Students have a responsibility to their campus-community. Show your interest by continuing the dialog once he or she is on campus. You need to draw the line, but understand your son or daughter is growing up. Most of all, believe in your own power to help them avoid trouble:
- Be a role model.
- Be factual and straightforward.
- Information is always the best defense.
- Avoid scare tactics.
- Correct misperceptions.
It is important to talk with your son or daughter often. You do not need to cover every topic in one conversation. Lecturing will get you nowhere - providing information is the key.
Career Consequences
Young adults' decisions follow them into the future. Give them beneficial information to make wise choices.
You are investing in your son's or daughter's future by providing the knowledge and support to help him or her make informed decisions.
Students who drink heavily in college may not realize their full academic potential. In addition, the effects of drinking may reach beyond the classroom. Many companies routinely screen for drugs and alcohol before considering applicants for a job or internship. If a position has already been granted, the employer may withdraw the offer if a positive screening for drugs and/or alcohol is found.
Businesses are increasingly conducting extensive background checks on potential employees. Graduates may be denied employment opportunities as a result of alcohol-related criminal convictions. Even acquittals may remain on their permanent record. The fact is, drinking by persons under the age of 21 is illegal, and it may have serious short- and long-term consequences.
The Laws in Virginia
All states and the District of Columbia have laws making 21 the minimum age to purchase or drink alcohol. Virginia's Zero Tolerance law makes driving under the influence of any amount of alcohol or drugs a serious criminal offense.
Young adults (ages 18 - 20) caught buying, possessing or drinking alcohol can lose their driver's license for up to a year, be fined up to $2,500 and face up to 12 months in jail.
Using a fake ID to buy alcohol means losing the right to drive for a year and a minimum fine of $500.
A driver, age 20 or younger, with a blood alcohol level between .02 and .07 could lose his or her license for up to six months. Impaired driving begins with the first drink.
Knowing the law is important, but it is not enough. It takes a commitment to personal responsibility to remain safe and alcohol-free. Talk with your son or daughter about these issues before he or she heads off to school and continue talking with them while they are on campus.
Parental Notification
Parental notification became a part of Virginia law in 1998. Congress gave colleges and universities the ability to disclose alcohol or controlled substance violations to parents. These include violations of state and federal laws as well as school policies and rules governing the use or possession of alcohol or controlled substances.
Federal law recognizes a parent's right to be notified if their son or daughter is involved in risky or illegal behavior such as underage drinking, public drunkenness, drugs or criminal activity. The law permits, but does not require, schools to notify parents any time a student under 21 violates drug or alcohol laws.
Check with the dean of students or the student affairs office at your son's or daughter's college or university to discover the policy concerning parental notification. Ask what circumstances routinely trigger notification. It may be possible for you to arrange to be notified in the event of an incident involving alcohol.
You Have a Role
This is an exciting time for your son or daughter. You have a large role in preparing them to make responsible choices. Often, students make choices without thinking how those choices will affect them later. By sharing this information before hand, you help them make conscientious decisions. While you may not be able to actively monitor your student away from home, you can be available to talk and listen. You are shaping your son's or daughter's character, and you may be saving your child's life.
Funding for the development of this guide is made possible through a grant from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. The Education Section of the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) developed this resource. At Virginia ABC, we are committed to being a driving force in alcohol prevention and responsible decision-making. We continually offer training and resources to the campus community of Virginia. If you would like more information on our efforts, contact us at (804) 977-7440 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Please note that as of October 24, 2014, the Nokia Developer Wiki will no longer be accepting user contributions, including new entries, edits and comments, as we begin transitioning to our new home, in the Windows Phone Development Wiki. We plan to move over the majority of the existing entries. Thanks for all your past and future contributions.
Creating Launcher Icons - Tutorial for N9 MeeGo
In this tutorial we are going to create a Launcher Icon for N9 applications.
Contents |
- One of the Visual Principles of N9 is to: "Provide a luxurious product with beautiful graphics"
- Launcher icon is an important part of this principle, because this is the entry point of your application.
- Users will be impressed with the functionality but if visual presentations are not attractive enough that will decrease the product's value from user perspective.
- Hence it is a must to create beautiful UI to keep user coming back to your application again and again.
N9 Launcher Icon Design Specifications
Below are the specifications for creating Launcher Icon for N9:
Launcher Icon Templates
- Nokia has provided developers with Adobe templates for Launcher Icons for N9.
- The icon creation kit gives two templates to help us create our application icon - available as Adobe Illustrator (AI) templates and Adobe Photoshop (PSD) templates.
- 1) 1_Meego_icon_template_PRECAST_background – For predefined background color
- 2) 2_Meego_icon_template_INDIVIDUAL_background - For custom background color
- Download the templates from following link: http://www.developer.nokia.com/swipe/ux/downloads/NokiaN9_Icon_Templates.zip
Step by Step Launcher Icon Creation
In the below tutorial we are going to create a Launcher Icon using the precast background PSD template.
1. Open the 1_Meego_icon_template_PRECAST_background template in Photoshop and chose one of the background layer to preview if the background color suits your requirement.
2. Select only the "PLACE YOUR GLYPH HERE" layer.
3. Fit your application icon inside the square formed by 4 blue lines
4. Select the 'PRECAST BACKGROUND' to preview how your final application icon looks like
5. Save your application ICON and this is how the application Launcher Icon will look.

In an interesting turn of events, it seems that it is Apple now that finds themselves infringing on patents. A federal jury that deliberated on the issue for four hours has found Apple guilty of infringing three patents held by MobileMedia Ideas, a patent-licensing firm owned by MPEG-LA. Apple has actually contributed some of the patents licensed by MPEG-LA, which means that the company that will be seeking damages from Apple also collects royalties for them regarding other patents. What makes this even more interesting is that Sony and Nokia own at least 10 percent of MobileMedia, and have numerous patents held by them as well.
The patents involved include one covering how a phone rejects calls, one on how a phone manages different call states and another covering a mobile device with a camera that is capable of transmitting images to another. While I'm not aware of the specifics of these patents, they sound quite broad in scope. That is all of course depending on the implementation described. The three patents were also actually part of an original claim that included 14, when it was filed in 2010. In a Bloomberg interview, MobileMedia CEO believes that the damages that will be awarded in a later trial could be "substantial."
According to TechCrunch, the details behind MobileMedia make it appear to be what people in the industry describe as a "patent troll." So in the end we have a patent troll that is owned in part by Sony and Nokia, and has a parent company that collects royalties from Apple but will now be seeking potentially substantial damages from them. Hate Apple or not, if there's any sign that the patent system needs fixing, it's cases like these.

@Coyote: The lawyers, especially in large firms, always make out . . . . Have you seen large firm billing rates?
I agree that a nice change to the patent laws potentially would be, use it or lose it–or, better, only be able to enforce your patent, after an initial grace period, against those who started sales after you started your own real and actual exploitation of the patent. This would seem to match what the U.S. Constitution intended: the advancement of the sciences (and rather than land-grabbing). Let's do it. ;^)
@Coyote: And that is different from someone who just happens, by luck, to own a piece of property that a developer wants to buy, to fill out a mall development, how? Or from IBM (and other large, well-regarded companies) using patents it owns to force licenses on others, even though IBM does not practice any related invention? Just sayin' . . . .
And remember: the patent licensing firm had to buy its patents, the original inventors thereby getting something (albeit, likely small) when they otherwise might not have.
I'm not saying that I like the current system. But it's premised on the old-fashioned property land-grab system.
I always have an issue with this term "patent troll." While, originally, those that fit the description were very distinct, now, the "big guys" do it as well–e.g. Apple patenting everything under the sun, as well as similar licensing enforcement by other big companies, bringing in loads of cash, whether the company holding the patent is practicing the technology or not. Oftentimes, the original owner of a patent can't afford the massive costs to enforce and sue on a patent–what's so wrong with the sale of the patent to a company that can, the original inventor making money from the sale?
Having said that, I don't know that I would object to a ban of lawsuits brought by any patent owner who is not exploiting the technology–but that would include the big guys as well, not just the licensing companies.
Actually, it all makes sense to me: while Apple uses this group to seek patent royalties, why can't other companies using the service also seek royalties from Apple for Apple's infringement? In essence, the company is serving as a "clearinghouse" of rights. And given the complexity of technology and patents, and the amount of tech. used in a smartphone, it is just as easy for Apple to be infringing the patent rights of others as it is for others to be infringing Apple.
Apple is just receiving, here, what it likes to serve to others . . . .
" Hate Apple or not, if there's any sign that the patent system needs fixing, it's cases like these."
I have to agree.

Special envoys, ambassadors and still more special envoys confuse relations abroad.
PALO ALTO, Calif. — Shortly after taking office, President Barack Obama named a host of special envoys to regions, organizations and trouble spots around the world.
Some were of the appointments were high-profile, like former Sen. George Mitchell, who is now special envoy to the Middle East. Others were practically invisible, like Rashad Hussain, now special envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference.
But as tenuous Middle East peace talks begin in Washington, and as the situation in Afghanistan, the province of special envoy Richard Holbrooke, plummets from bad to worse, now is a good time to ask: Are these special envoys doing much good?
The evidence suggests that many are causing more problems than they are solving.
Holbrooke, a former senior State Department official, has a long, laudable history as a diplomat. But it's hard to see what he has accomplished in the Afghan cauldron. The truth is, he is best known for getting in the way. Afghanistan already has two high-profile representatives of Washington, Ambassador Karl Eikenberry and Gen. David Petraeus, the military commander.
Holbrooke stops by now and then, demanding attention — and leaving Afghan officials totally confused about who really speaks for the president. Show me the benefit in that.
Mitchell performed yeoman's work shuttling between Jerusalem and Ramallah, moderating the indirect, so-called proximity talks since last May. But by all accounts, he made little if any progress. A problem this large, this old, requires the attention of the president, or at least the secretary of state. That's what is underway now.
Stephen Bosworth, special envoy for North Korea, has presided over a second nuclear weapons test, the sinking of a South Korean warship and continued threats and bluster from Pyongyang. Mr. Bosworth, tell me what you have accomplished?
Part of the problem is that every one of these countries already has an American ambassador, or at least a charges d'affaires. Aren't they supposed to be the ones who work with government leaders? Who, exactly, is speaking for Washington — the ambassador who lives there, or the special envoy who makes irregular visits? For the leader of any government, all of that is bound to be confusing.
All of these problems come together in Sudan, where special envoy Scott Gration is quite obviously making things worse. He's the one who declared in July that the International Criminal Court's genocide indictment of Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir "will make my mission more difficult."
Oh, I'm so sorry, Mr. Gration, that the indictment of a man with the blood of 2.3 million people on his hands has inconvenienced you. Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, rebuked Gration the next day.
"The United States stands firmly behind justice and accountability for war crimes, genocide, crimes against humanity, in Darfur and elsewhere," she said.
Gration is a villain in the eyes of many non-governmental organizations and others. On Sept. 1, the Sudan Tribune newspaper called him "disastrously incompetent."
The genocide indictment upset him because he successfully pushed the idea that the best way to solve the manifold human-rights problems in Sudan is to work with Bashir and his government. He convinced Secretary of State Hillary Clinton of this — against the adamant opposition of Rice, whose knowledge of Sudan far surpasses Gration's or Clinton's.

Get AccessAbstract
Academic achievement patterns and their relationships with intellectual ability, social abilities, and problem behavior are described in a sample of 30 higher-functioning, 9-year-old children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Both social abilities and problem behavior have been found to be predictive of academic achievement in typically developing children but this has not been well studied in children with ASD. Participants were tested for academic achievement and intellectual ability at age 9. Problem behaviors were assessed through parent report and social functioning through teacher report at age 6 and 9. Significant discrepancies between children's actual academic achievement and their expected achievement based on their intellectual ability were found in 27 of 30 (90%) children. Both lower than expected and higher than expected achievement was observed. Children with improved social skills at age 6 demonstrated higher levels of academic achievement, specifically word reading, at age 9. No relationship was found between children's level of problem behavior and level of academic achievement. These results suggest that the large majority of higher-functioning children with ASD show discrepancies between actual achievement levels and levels predicted by their intellectual ability. In some cases, children are achieving higher than expected, whereas in others, they are achieving lower than expected. Improved social abilities may contribute to academic achievement. Future studies should further explore factors that can promote strong academic achievement, including studies that examine whether intervention to improve social functioning can support academic achievement in children with ASD.

Quirky News
Boobquake rocked by earthquake
A Facebook campaign calling on women to show their cleavage to disprove a claim that dressing immodestly causes earthquakes got off to a shaky start.
Jennifer McCreight's Boobquake project attracted support from 200,000 women prepared to bare their breasts on April 26 in protest at Iranian cleric Kazem Sedighi.
But the US student's hopes of ridiculing his views began badly - when a tremor, measuring 6.5 on the Richter scale, hit Taiwan.
Miss McCreight insisted the quake was not statistically significant, adding that it didn't count as it actually happened the previous day in her time zone in West Lafayette, Indiana.
"On average, 134 magnitude 6-6.9 earthquakes occur annually. If we get many of a similar magnitude in the next 24 hours, then we might start worshipping the power of immodesty," she wrote on her blog.
Cleric Sedighi had said: "Many women who do not dress modestly... lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases earthquakes."
His comments prompted Miss McCreight to say she wanted to test his theory to see if cleavage really did possess seismic powers.
"With the power of our scandalous bodies combined, we should surely produce an earthquake. If not, I'm sure Sedighi can come up with a rational explanation for why the ground didn't rumble," she wrote on BlagHag.com.
The Taiwan quake caused relatively little damage. Buildings swayed briefly but none fell and there were no casualties. But it did lead to a landslide over a three-lane highway, burying three cars.

Department of Justice
United States Attorney William C. Killian Eastern District of Tennessee
Virginia Man Sentenced For Filing False Income Tax Return
GREENEVILLE, Tenn. – Steven R. Grose, 52, of Lebanon, Va., was sentenced on Nov. 5, 2012, by the Honorable J. Ronnie Greer, U.S. District Court Judge, to serve five years of probation. As special conditions of his probation, Grose was ordered to serve 76 days of intermittent confinement during the first year of his probation, serve 11 months of home detention during the second year of probation, and perform 250 hours of community service.
Grose pleaded guilty in May 2012 to an information charging him with filing a false federal income tax return. As set out in his plea agreement, Grose, a certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA), reported his business income and expenses via a wholly-owned corporation. The net business profit or loss to the corporation was to be reported on Grose's corresponding individual income tax returns. Grose intentionally and falsely overstated the corporation's business expenses causing the corporation's net business profit to be materially understated. He reported net losses from the corporation on his 2005 through 2009 tax returns, when he actually had net income from the corporation each year ranging from $60,640.25 to $234,516.01. As a result, he actually owed taxes totaling $233,744.00 for the five-year period.
Grose was also ordered to pay restitution of $277,262.34 to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for the taxes due and interest on those taxes. He stated that he also faced substantial civil penalties from the IRS.
"The IRS's largest enforcement program is directed at the portion of American citizens who intentionally violate their known legal duty to pay their fair share of taxes. Those taxpayers who choose to do the right thing should be assured that the system works and justice will be done. No one is above the law," stated Christopher Henry, Special Agent in Charge, IRS Criminal Investigation-Nashville Field Office.
The charges were the result of an investigation by the IRS-Criminal Investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Neil Smith represents the United States.

- Awesome Gloves For the Price
I wear these all of the time, except when I need to get my hands wet, and I should have measured instead of guesstimated because I probably need a small, but that was no fault of the gloves. I have polyneuropathy as well as arthritis and these gloves help more than the medications I have used in the past. The advertising seems right on the mark about adding support but very useful to have just the fingertips show, so you can do almost anything and even in temperatures nearing the hundred degree mark, my hands feel cooler than anywhere else, and if I sweat I don't notice it because they stay dry unless you grab a wet goldfish that missed the waterfall when trying to go upstream and I did decide to wash them after that adventure, but they wash well and dry quickly.
I would have given these a five star rating, but while the sales price is advertised as half off, I have found them elsewhere at regular prices only a few dollars more, so they seem way overpriced if at a bit over eleven dollars was half off. I got a good deal for the price, but if they go up a few dollars I could probably find them at another online stores full price and while I will likely keep buying these awesome gloves here if they stay at the advertised half price which saves a few dollars, I would go elsewhere if they sell these for close to twenty three dollars. I look for quality but I am also very frugal, so I shop for products of the highest quality at the most reasonable price. These gloves met both of the things I was looking for when I purchased them, but they were advertised at half price, and had I seen them at twice what I paid, I knew they could be found for less than twice what I paid for them. I also am always a bit on the skeptical side of advertising, so I was pleasantly surprised when my order arrived.
The gloves exceeded my expectations and they are very soft so I expected that they would wear out quickly, they are still as sturdy now as when I first tried them on. I sleep in mine and when I wake up in the morning my fingers aren't nearly as curled up and sore, and this saves me about half an hour a day of extra finger and hand exercises. With everyone wearing sports gloves all year round, no one has made fun of me yet for wearing gloves in the summer, and I am amazed that they don't wear out quickly as any similar gloves I have purchased before, and none of them covered the aching knuckles while leaving fingertip room to do delicate jobs.
I will buy these again in a smaller size for when my hands aren't swollen which is my excuse for not measuring the first time, and as long as they remain on sale at a bit over eleven dollars, I will buy them here.
The shipping was also faster than I expected, and the gloves are awesome and for a half price sale the price was reasonable, but the full price at other online stores were only a few dollars more, and if you plan to buy several pairs and look for good prices as well as the best quality as I do, I suggest some price shopping as well. I have not found these gloves anywhere else for the price I found here. I would recommend these gloves to anyone with arthritis or other hand pain because they let me at least function much better than I did without these gloves, and they are much higher quality than any arthritis gloves I have bought and worn twice and put them back in their box and they are in the drawer where I keep similar things that don't meet the expectations I had when I ordered them. These more than met my expectations and I hope they keep making them. I hope Vitality Medical continues to carry the high quality products that seem to be a step or two better than most, and I hope the price of these gloves are reduced to what others sell for as their regular price, because they carry high quality products from what I have ordered and they live up to their description of their products, based upon my experience of the products I have ordered, and as with these gloves, the products meet and usually exceed my expectations. The only reason I couldn't give these gloves all five stars, is that once they go back to double what I paid, which was a good deal, they can be found anywhere that I looked for a few dollars more. The gloves by themselves, if price is not a consideration, would get a five star rating from me. As long as they stay on sale they are a good deal as well, but few products stay at half price sales forever.
Product Rating 3|0 - Poor quality
When I first started wearing the Arthritis glove I could tell the difference. My hand didn't feel fatigue and it compressed very well. I actually purchased 2 sets I hand wash them about once a week. However the quality is not very good. There are holes in the gloves which I am not pleased about.
Product Rating 1|0 - Arthritis Gloves Review
I am so happy to have these gloves. These are so comfortable and give me a great feeling of comfort. I feel so relaxed wearing these gloves and these have reduced my wrist pain to a great extent. Thanks you so much for providing me this product.
Product Rating 1|0 - WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND
Product Rating 1|0 - Great product.
I have purchased other similiar products in the past, these are the best. Easy to wear and comfortable. Great investment for pain relief.

Toshiba Enters The Market With It Thrive Tablet
Toshiba is also entering the market of tablets and given the technology they are using in their products it should never be much problem for them to capture a fair share of the market. The new Thrive has some great additional features that make it unique from many other tablets to the good. Be it the full sized USB ports to the adding of a few riffs to the Honeycomb theme, the Thrive has it all to have a fair bite of cherry. The attractive back cover is made of rubber and is really stylish in its looks and charming for customers.it is easy to grip and comfortable to carry even though it is a little too heavy for your liking. The 1.6pounds is fairly heavier and thicker compared to Samsung galaxy Tab.
The Kindle Tablet Promises To Be A New Sensation In The Tablet Market
Amazon, the giants of the e-commerce industry will soon come up its new Kindle tablet which is ready to become a formidable competitor in the market. Amazon is a massive brand which is popular amongst the people. It helps them to buy books and get hold of different other items and even has an Android store.
Android Tablet Can Cost Less Than $200 Due To X10 AirPad
Android tablets are now available for less than $200, which is the lowest price in the tablet range. This low cost tablet comes in the form of X10 AirPad, which was released a couple of days ago. It has been proclaimed as the best Android tablet, which is available for lower than $200. The tablet measures 7 inches and has been released by X10. While the tablet will make it possible for a lot of people to own Android tablets, some of the features could have been a lot better. However, considering the price, many of these aspects are completely forgivable.
Ban on Galaxy Tab in EU lifted
For now, Samsung can sell its Galaxy Tab 10.1 once again in Europe. Earlier this month, on August 4th Apple won a preliminary injunction against Samsung. After this injunction Samsung was blocked from selling the Tablet. This injunction which blocked the selling of Galaxy Tab in almost the whole EU (European Union) was immediately appealed by Samsung. Recently, Apple has also blocked Samsung from selling the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia, until a court passes a ruling on whether the Android tablet is infringing with Apple's patents. ZDNet UK learned that the enforcement of the ban has been stayed because of Samsung's submission ahead of the hearing of the injunction appeal.
Apple Nails Down Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
The much hyped Samsung Galaxy Tab products are facing permanent banishment in some countries including European Countries and Australia. The product is already out of market in same countries and in others they are on their way to the trash can. The unavailability of the Galaxy Tab products is not attributed to high market demands, but a rather unusual thing! The Samsung Galaxy products are fast disappearing from the market because Apple though that they are not original enough.

Study Shows Over 50% Of Wives Say Their Husbands Aren't The Best Sex They've Ever Had
MSN – Bad news, husbands. Although you may consider yourself to be your wife's most exciting sex partner, chances are the honor actually lies with one of her ex-lovers. A recent study from iVillage found that less than half of married women describe their husband as their best sex ever. Fifty-two percent of those surveyed said an ex was better in bed than their current spouse. Sound dismal? That's not the worst of it. The website surveyed 2,000 married women with a 60/40 split of those with and without children. If the lackluster sex isn't bad enough, the poll found that 66 percent of married women would rather read a book, watch a movie or take a nap than have sex with a spouse. Some might describe their sex lives as stale, but according to the survey, married women are quite content with this boring bedroom behavior. "The iVillage study shows that not all housewives are desperate – surprisingly they are quite content and fulfilled with their predictable sex lives," said editor Liz Zack in a press release. "Perhaps that's because sex is not a priority when it comes to personal time. Today's married women lead such busy lives that they consider rest and relaxation a better self indulgence."
Other studies show that 100% of husbands don't give a fuck. Oh I'm not as good in bed as the Spanish lover you fucked when you studied abroad? No fucking kidding! We're married! Your whipped ex-boyfriend who went down on your for hours? Good for him. Don't care. Being good in bed stopped being important right around the same time being able to bench press a lot stopped being important. I remember being young and seeing kids do that trick where they unwrap a Starburst with their mouth. I fucking sucked at that. Just basically ended up eating a Starburst with the wrapper on it. Some chick or some guy would pull out the wrapper all cocky and I was like "Oh fuck I'm gonna suck at sex!" Then I realized that A) If you used the same technique during sex as you did when unwrapping a Starburst wrapper, you'd basically be chomping on some girls clit. And B) I'm always fucking great in bed as far as my dick is concerned. So Starburst wrapper or not, sex is always gonna be satisfying for me.
And lets not act like this is a one way street. You think the majority of husbands out there who have fat old nagging wives are satisfied in the sack? I mean when it comes to "watching a movie" or "taking a nap" I'd say roughly 100% of husbands would rather do those things than have sex with their annoying wives.
Now all that being said, its definitely not something you wanna have confirmed by your girlfriend or wife. 2 questions you never wanna now the answer to but you always wanna know the answer to is 1) whos the biggest you've ever had? and 2) how many have you had? You don't wanna hear the answer to that. If you were the biggest she ever had, she probably would have told you by now. And no matter what number she throws out there, you're not gonna be happy. If she says 1, you'll wish she fucked half a guy. If she says zero, you'll ask how many handjobs she's given. You'll never be happy with knowing the truth. Just have some mediocre sex that leaves everyone unsatisfied and call it a day.

The Division of Education and Speech-Language Pathology functioning under the direction of the Teacher Education Committee has the responsibility for the general administration and coordination of the Teacher Education program. The primary objective of the program is to assist prospective teachers in developing the competencies required for obtaining Oklahoma teacher certification and becoming effective classroom teachers. Courses are designed to meet the certification requirements and standards of the Oklahoma Commission for Teacher Preparation, the Oklahoma State Department of Education, and the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education.
The Division of Education and Speech-Language Pathology offers coursework that allows students to obtain an Oklahoma teaching certificate in early childhood education, elementary education, or education of the deaf. The speech pathology program prepares students for graduate programs in Communication Sciences and Disorders. A master's degree is required for a standard certificate. Programs to add elementary or early childhood to early childhood, elementary, or deaf education have been approved by the Oklahoma Commission for Teacher Preparation.
Teacher certification programs are also offered through other divisions in the areas of art, physical education, language arts (English), math, music, science, and social studies. Students seeking a teaching certificate in one of these areas should consult with the education advisor in the respective discipline.
All certification programs include a foreign language competency requirement and completion of a professional portfolio.
All requirements for teacher certification programs are subject to change if new requirements are established by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, Oklahoma State Board of Education, or the Oklahoma Commission for Teacher Preparation.

CHARLESTON (AP) — A Jackson County man faces federal charges of illegally capturing and selling about 300 wild turtles.
Thomas Pepin of Ravenswood is charged in an indictment with two counts of unlawful transport and sale of wildlife.
Pepin is accused of capturing the turtles from sites near his home between July 2012 and September 2013. The indictment charges that Pepin sold the turtles to numerous customers in other states. Thirteen were sold to an undercover federal officer in Pennsylvania.
A telephone listing for Pepin in the Ravenswood area couldn't be found.
The Charleston Gazette reports that the federal grand jury issued the indictment Wednesday.

Senior VP of Governmental Affairs for the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce Speaks to Students
Web Editor
- Published: March 30, 2011
The Local Leaders series concluded for the 2010-2011 academic year on Monday, March 28th with A. Richard Heffron '78, the Senior Vice President of Governmental Affairs for the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce, speaking to students, faculty, and staff about his career and his experiences as a student at Widener Law.
Heffron, a graduate of Temple University, discussed his background, including his work on Vice President Joe Biden's 1972 senate campaign. Biden encouraged him to attend law school, which led him to what was then the Delaware Law School. "I was part of the first class that was accredited from beginning to end," he said about his time as a student. He described taking a class with then Dean Arthur A. Weeks and recalled the law school's old location in a Wilmington church.
Following graduation from law school and two years spent in California, Heffron returned to the east coast to work on the Wilmington mayoral campaign of Daniel S. Frawley. Following Frawley's election, Heffron served as a policy advisor and spent six years as Head of Housing.
Heffron left public service to join the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce, where he has spent nineteen years. "I'm proud of the fact that I get to represent the business community. I'm proud of the fact that I get to make public policy," he says of his work, adding, "I've seen a lot of changes and met a lot of people."
"Law school taught me how to think on my feet and how to be prepared," concluded Mr. Heffron before he encouraged the future lawyers in the audience to "try to understand where the other side is coming from."
Following his remarks, Mr. Heffron took questions from the audience on the relationship between the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce and the United States Chamber of Commerce. He also took a question on whether he has seen an increase in political partisanship in Dover. He responded that Delaware has always had a respectful political climate and that he felt that to still be the case despite the fact that the last election in particular had brought signs of increasing division.

Boys Clip Art
Boys SingingBoy clip art of twin boys and an African American boy singing, that's free for use on personal, non-commercial, religious and educational Web pages and projects.
© Bobbie Jean Peachey
Terms of UseBoys: For thousands of years Alaska Natives lived nomadic lifestyles - they moved across the land to find food and shelter. When an Inupiat boy was mature enough, an uncle would assume his role as a teacher. The uncle's job was to prepare his nephew to become a contributing member of that community. Uncles, instead of fathers, usually became teachers of the boys because they while they were family and cared about the boy, they were more distant from the boy as a student than a father would be. This separation of teacher and student was a critical element of the traditional educational system. The uncle cared enough to keep the boy alive. At the same time he would allow the child to learn by taking necessary risks and making mistakes in ways that a father might not allow. Apprenticeships were not based on chronological age and grade level expectations like are our schools systems today. The boys were observed by their teachers and given additional knowledge and more responsibilities based on their growth of character, physical development and other abilities. Life and death and the survival of the group depended on children being carefully prepared for adult roles. Alaska's Culture.

From Publisher Chris Barton 'Perhaps, we move further away from what we know by approaching its core. 581c is a place, a parallel universe. It is a mirror world with a wink neither to be trusted nor to be dismissed. It is from here that Thobias Faldt reports back: negating distance, negating time, as though all these images were somehow taken at once. An impossible archive, these photographs reveal a cross-section of people and experience, a mixture of the familiar and the foreign unable to be explained as merely a dream.'

"Great. They finally got smart and copied Chrome"
+ Slick new interface almost exactly like Chrome now. Yes, they copied Chrome, but it was a smart move... Emulate succcess
- Open Webapp extension isn't compatible with 6.0. And the https://apps.mozillalabs.com/ leads to a page with NO links, only some information. Get this going YESTERDAY. Chrome has had this for going on a year now. FF way way behind.
Seems stable and quick to me. No issues. Minus 2 stars for not getting Webapps in gear.

Welcome to the unstable world of Firefox 6. Although I badly wanted version 6 to rectify the instability problems seen in the two previous iterations I was soon to see it was every bit as bad as versions 4 and 5. It crashes and freezes quite often.
I have to take this review back. After actually using it for a while (not very long) ran into all sorts of stability issues. New tab window locking up and eventually locking the whole program up. Not as "smooth" as Chrome with opening new tabs. Will use it some more and see if the problem persists with locking up. I did install a bunch of extensions at once so that could be the source of the issue.

text: I'm sure you don't need another reason to hunt pheasants in South Dakota (quick aside: if one more outdoor writer refers to S.D. as "ringneck mecca" or "the pheasant capital of the world," I will surely gag). However, if you do, get this: the Aberdeen Convention and Visitors Bureau has banded and released 100 pheasants in Brown County, S.D., one of which carries a band worth $1 million! According to the contest rules, all banded birds are worth at least $100-$500 and will automatically be entered into a drawing to determine the million-dollar winner. Coincidentally, I plan to hunt the Aberdeen area during the first week of December. Will I bag the golden bird? Doubtful, but it'll be obvious if I do because you'll never hear from me again!

Revealed: MoD Killing Animals for Cruel Training
Earlier this month, the UK military participated in invasive and deadly animal-based trauma training exercises in Denmark.
British surgeons took part in drills in which live pigs were lined up at a firing range and shot with high-velocity bullets. Eighteen pigs sustained life-threatening multi-organ injuries and bone fractures in the archaic exercise, which took place between 6 and 8 November in Jaegerspris Kaserne. Animals who didn't die during the exercise were later killed.
Maiming animals in this way is not allowed in the UK under the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 – … Read more.

The nuclear matrix antigen recognized by the monoclonal antibody (mAb) B1C8 is a novel serine (S) and arginine (R)-rich protein associated with splicing complexes and is named here SRm160 (SR-related matrix protein of 160 kD). SRm160 contains multiple SR repeats, but unlike proteins of the SR family of splicing factors, lacks an RNA recognition motif. SRm160 and a related protein SRm300 (the 300-kD nuclear matrix antigen recognized by mAb B4A11) form a complex that is required for the splicing of specific pre-mRNAs. The SRm160/300 complex associates with splicing complexes and promotes splicing through interactions with SR family proteins. Binding of SRm160/300 to pre-mRNA is normally also dependent on U1 snRNP and is stabilized by U2 snRNP. Thus, SRm160/300 forms multiple interactions with components bound directly to important sites within pre-mRNA. The results suggest that a complex of the nuclear matrix proteins SRm160 and SRm300 functions as a coactivator of pre-mRNA splicing.
