"I want to thank you for handling the speeding ticket that I got last September while vacationing on Sanibel Island. I admit that I was. a bit skeptical when I first saw some of the ads that I either saw on the Internet or the mailed ads that I received.
However, after I called a few people to get more information, I was very impressed after talking to you. You explained how you might be able to help me get the fine reduced or eliminated and more importantly getting rid of any-points. You did not make any outlandish promises or guarantees that would have made me think that I was being hustled.
I would say that you met and exceeded all expectations. You made the process very easy for me and did it in a very professional and efficient manner.
I have told several of my friends about you and told them to contact you if they run into a similar problem as many of them go to Florida every year.
I apologize for not writing sooner. We have been traveling a lot and your letter with the disposition sheet got buried in my "things to do list". I found it while looking for various documents to start on my income tax return."
"I would like to thank you and your staff for an outstanding outcome. I was extremely pleased with the results and the professional manner in which the case was handled. I will certainly recommend your services to my friends should they ever require legal representation."
- W.B. Collier County
"Thank you so much for your representation on my behalf. I would feel confident in recommending your services to anybody. Your legal expertise and help in this matter was greatly appreciated"
-L.H. Brevard County
"I am writing to thank you for the fine work done by you and your office in this matter. Should I need any future legal activity, I will certainly call you to discuss it with you."
- N.B Palm Beach County
"I was skeptical when I first received your letter offering your services in regard to the above referenced automobile violation. Your letter, however, sounded very professional as did my subsequent conversation with you. You came through with what you promised and in a manner to bring you credit, so I am writing to thank you. A job well done!"
- C.K. Collier County
"I have just received notice of dismissal for speeding from Palm Beach County…I must say that I would eventually be found guilty of the infraction plus being arrested as a scofflaw for not showing up in court. What a pleasant surprise to find that you did everything that you advertized, and did not charge me one cent more than your original fee. This cost was beyond a bargain. I will sing your praises to all of my Florida friends. Thank you for handling this matter."
- M.N. Palm Beach County
"I thank you for the great service."
-J.D. Broward County
"I want to thank you for the services rendered to me. I thank God…and may he rain his blessings down upon you continuously."
-M.C. Collier County
"I appreciate your work on this and am satisfied with the results."
- B.C. Palm Beach County
"Just a note of thanks for representing me and the outcome…thank you again!"
- J.A. Palm Beach County
"Thank you for your time and energy on my behalf… I will be sure to tell my friends of your services."
- L.V. Collier County
"Thank you for successfully handling my case… Thanks to you I was found not guilty, no points, no driver's school, and no adjudication… I know where you are if we need you. Again, I can't thank you enough!"
- W. G. Lee County
"Thank you for handling my case. It was a great outcome."
"Bravo! Thank you"
"I am completely satisfied with your service. The ticket was thrown out and I didn't have any court cost. Thank you very much."
"Thank you for being so great."
"I am very happy with your work and I like the way you handled the situation."
"Please accept these few lines as my deepest thanks to you for a job well done. I want to thank you for doing everything you promised. I also want you to know that I am grateful to the very depth of my being. I want you to know that, I am blessed to pastor at least a thousand members, and if any of them ever have a problem like I had, I will recommend you without any hesitation or reservation. Again, thank you for a job well done, and may God bless and keep you in my prayer."
- G.M. Dade County

Quick Start Program (QSP) Under the Quick Start Program, qualified applicants will be reimbursed up to $50,000 toward the cost of rehabilitating older buildings in the city's Redevelopment Areas to bring them up to current building and fire code standards. Applicants will be reimbursed for costs associated with code compliance, infrastructure issues such as utility and structural upgrades and review fees in the city's two redevelopment areas. Matching funds from the business are required, at a 10-to-1 private-to-public investment ratio. Previously, a developer or tenant was responsible for covering the costs to bring a building up to current building codes. This large expense can be an impediment to the development of existing structures in the redevelopment areas, many of which have not been improved for 10 to 40 years, and which need extensive work to bring them up to code. The city's program attempts to address this issue by encouraging the rehabilitation of older commercial buildings through incentives, which will enhance the physical appearance of the redevelopment areas and improve the overall economic viability of the city. Quick Start Program Manual & Application For more information, please e-mail or call (702) 229-6100. |

UHV American Book Review literary journal names four new associate editors
June 26, 2010 at 1:26 a.m.
11 other ABR associate editors
Mark Amerika, poet and Net artist, University of Colorado-Boulder
C.S. Giscombe, poet, University of California-Berkley
R.M. Berry, novelist and theorist, Florida State University, Gainesville, Fla.
Dinda Gorlée, Dutch translator and semiotician, University of Bergen, Bergen, Norway
Larry McCaffery, alt fictionist, novelist and biographer, San Diego State University, San Diego
Doug Nufer, Oulipo poet and novelist, Seattle
Kevin Prufer, poet, University of Houston, Houston
John Tytell, beat scholar, Brooklyn College/City University of New York
Barry Wallenstein, poet and jazz musician, New York City
Tom Williams, short story writer and cultural critic, chair of the UHV Humanities Division
Eric Miles Williamson, novelist and critic, University of Texas-Pan American, Edinburg
For more information about ABR, go to americanbookreview.org/
The University of Houston-Victoria American Book Review has four new associate editors from prestigious academic settings across the country to further the internationally distributed literary journal's goal of being the top source for opinion on literary innovation.
Charles Johnson, National Book Award winner and professor emeritus at the University of Washington in Seattle; Christina Milletti, assistant professor of English at the State University of New York-Buffalo; Cris Mazza, professor of English at the University of Illinois-Chicago; and Dagoberto Gilb, UHV writer-in-residence and executive director of Centro Victoria, have accepted invitations to help shape the content of the 31-year-old literary review.
"These four writers have demonstrated uncommon literary sensibility in their respective careers," said Jeffrey Di Leo, ABR editor/publisher and dean of the UHV School of Arts & Sciences. "We look forward to achieving new heights under their leadership."
The advisory capacity of the associate editors includes assigning books for review in their respective areas of literary specialization, suggesting and organizing focus features, and providing guidance to the ABR editorial staff about timely issues within subgenres of the small press literary realm.
"The appointment of these four enormously talented associate editors is tangible proof of a re-energized and diversified American Book Review," Managing Editor Charles Alcorn said. "Their invaluable guidance and far-reaching connectivity ensures that ABR will remain poised at the leading edge of the critical exchange."
Mazza, who for the last 15 years has taught novel writing at the University of Illinois, has some clear ideas about shaping ABR's editorial stance.
"ABR needs to keep challenging conventions, first and primarily by assigning independent press books for review," she said. "ABR could have a segment each issue that gives some real experiences of independent literary writers, as well as publishing in some of the new formats and the new face of publicity."
Gilb is equally excited about the possibilities ABR offers to emerging writers.
"Not all musicians go to Julliard to learn their instrument best and not all writers have pedigrees or prestigious publishers," he said. "The small, regional press is often where the beginning writer finds his first champion. And it is the small, regional press that New York uses to find gutsy talent, innovation, fresh and new styles, and writers who are not following trend but inventing the new ones, sometimes through courage, sometimes innocently unaware."
UHV is home to ABR, as well as Fiction Collective Two, an innovative fiction press; Cuneiform, a poetry press; symploke, a theoretical journal; the Society for Critical Exchange, a scholarly society devoted to theory; and Centro Victoria, a literary center. It also hosts the only master's of science in publishing program in the southern U.S.
In addition, the ABR staff organizes both the fall and spring UHV/ABR Reading Series each year, which brings nationally known authors to the UHV main campus. Johnson, Mazza and Gilb previously were featured.

The Harley-Davidson Fat Boy will now be available at Rs 14.9 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) as against the previous imported price of Rs 19.45 lakh. Similarly, Fat Boy Special will cost Rs 15.6 Lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) as against the previous imported price of 19.70 lakh.
The Heritage Softail Classic model will be tagged at Rs 16.25 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) as against Rs 20.45 lakh earlier.
Commenting on the development, Harley-Davidson India Managing Director Anoop Prakash told PTI: "Since we entered India in 2009, we have been consistent with our plans have more local assembly of our products and make them accessible to more enthusiasts and customers across the country. The CKD
operations of the three models is another step towards it."
The company now has 9 out of 12 models that it sells in India locally assembled.
When asked if the company planned to assemble all the models that it sells in India, he said: "It is not possible for a long time to come. Our flagship 'Touring Family' has its own heritage, we want to maintain it and moreover the market for it hasn't developed yet here in India."
On the Budget announcement, Prakash said: "Our CKD (completely knocked down) operation allows us to contribute to local investment while also reducing the tariff burden for customers across India."
The impact on pricing will be minimal due to the company's steady focus on developing CKD operations in India since early 2011, he added.
In the Budget 2013-14, Finance Minister P Chidambaram proposed to hike import duty on bikes with engine capacity of 800 cc or more from to 75 per cent from 60 per cent.
On the sales growth, Prakash said the company is expecting "a double digit" increase in 2013. Since 2010, when it started selling its bikes in India, the company has sold over 2,000 motorcycles.

The summer box-office has already seen its share of record-shattering hits (thanks, Avengers!) and dubious misses (we're looking at you, Battleship), but as we roll into July, things are getting even more heated. Check out our list of this month's must-sees!
The Amazing Spider-Man – July 3
Arriving five years after his last successful run at the hands of Sam Raimi, The Amazing Spider-Man stars Andrew Garfield. The all-new web-slinger battles Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans), a scientist who not only holds answers to Peter Parker's past but whose efforts to regenerate a lost limb transform him into something much more sinister.
Savages – July 6
Famed auteur Oliver Stone's latest film features young heartthrobs Taylor Kitsch and Aaron Taylor-Johnson as a pair of pot purveyors who not only share a profitable business but also the lovely Blake Lively. However, when the lusty trio run afoul of a Mexican cartel run by Salma Hayek and Benicio Del Toro, they find out just how far they are willing to go for each other.
Ice Age: Continental Drift – July 13
Laughs will never be extinct as long as Manny, Sid, Diego, and the rest of the Ice Age crew are around. In Ice Age: Continental Drift, they manage to deliver their prehistoric hijinks to the ends of the Earth. Starring the voice talents of Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Denis Leary, and Queen Latifah, the furry foursome discover love, long-lost family, and just what the pursuit of an acorn is worth along the way.
The Dark Knight Rises – July 20
The bittersweet finale to Chris Nolan's wildly successful Batman series, The Dark Knight Rises pits Christian Bale's Caped Crusader against Tom Hardy's Bane, a monstrously powerful member of the League of Shadows bent on finishing what Liam Neeson's Ra's al Ghul started in Batman Begins.
The Watch – July 27
Attempting to escape their dull suburban existences, four guys — Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill, and British comedian Richard Ayoade — start a neighborhood watch program in hopes of some minor thrills. Instead, they discover an intergalactic army looking to conquer more than just the local city council meeting.

Facebook marc menard avis de recherche
Friends of a Quebec man missing in Mexico say they hope to find him and bring him home.
Marc Menard was returning to Canada in a vehicle when he vanished somewhere in northern Mexico.
Menard was driving back to Canada through the United States, and had planned to cross the border at the notoriously dangerous town of Nuevo Laredo.
But it's not clear he got that far.
A Facebook page launched recently says the last time anyone had contact with Menard was more than two weeks ago — on March 14.
Menard, married with an adult daughter, works as a public transit bus driver just north of Montreal.
He was travelling without a cellphone and speaks minimal English and Spanish.
Menard's friends say he was driving back from Mexico with his basset hound, Maya.

EDGE, a multi-award-winning platformer from Mobigame, has finally resurfaced on the App Store. Over the past year, Mobigame has been forced to fend off a questionable trademark dispute from Tim Langdell over the name "Edge." It's been a long battle, with EDGE appearing and disappearing numerous times, but this time it looks like the victory might be permanent. To quote the press release:
We were not alone during this year, and we thank all of you for all your efforts. Thanks to us ALL the word "edge" is now free to exist on the App Store like on any other marketplace, and games like Mirror's Edge, Shadow Edge, Killer Edge Racing or Edge by Mobigame can live on our iDevices.
If you haven't grabbed EDGE yet, you definitely should. EDGE is a platforming game in which you control a colorful cube, attempting to traverse multiple 3D, isometric landscapes. You encounter plenty of puzzles and challenges as you progress. Controls are fluid—you can chose touch- or accelerometer-based controls—and the graphics and music ooze retro goodness. EDGE is a shining example of a great game: it strips away extraneous fluff and leaves you with something pure and beautiful.
To celebrate their successful return to the App Store, Mobigame has placed EDGE on sale for just $0.99, so now's a great time to grab it. Congratulations, Mobigame!

Obama faces foreign policy test
PUBLISHED: 19 Mar 2012 00:05:00 | UPDATED: 19 Mar 2012 06:01:19PUBLISHED: 19 Mar 2012 PRINT EDITION: 19 Mar 2012A marine stands by as US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta disembarks in Afghanistan last week. Photo: Reuters
Ben Potter
For most of the time since the assassination of Osama Bin Laden by US Navy Seals last May, The New York Times/CBS poll had Barack Obama's foreign policy approval in the upper 40s and low 50s. But this month it dipped to 40 per cent from 50 per cent in February, with approval of the overall job he was doing as President.
Polling is now extremely volatile. Things could quickly turn around again. In the same poll, Obama as commander-in-chief retains the confidence of 58 per cent of voters. Even so, you don't have to be on the Council on Foreign Relations to guess why the President's foreign policy ratings are wobbling now.
The past month has been a bad one for the Obama administration in its two most contentious foreign endeavours: Afghanistan; and the stand-off over Iran's nuclear ambitions.
Tensions have bubbled over in Afghanistan over the clumsy partial burning of copies of the Koran by American soldiers – retaliations have taken the lives of 29 Afghans and six Americans – and with Iran as international sanctions bite and the drums of war echo across the desert from Jerusalem.
Previously the state of the US economy alone was expected to determine the presidential election in November. Now it looks as though foreign policy could play a role. But things may have to deteriorate further for this to happen. Voters rate foreign policy a low priority – 1 per cent say it's most important – compared with jobs and the economy, rated by 51 per cent as the top issues.
Unhappily for Obama, it's not difficult to see things going wrong. Afghanistan is increasingly a nightmare. The Koran burning may have been inadvertent, but it is an inexplicable lapse after more than 10 years in the country that much greater care wasn't taken of religious materials. That is not to say any excuse can be made for the murderous response of some Afghans.
The incident confirms the invading Western force has outlived its welcome among the people it sought to protect without achieving the goal of subduing the Taliban or equipping the Afghan government to subdue them after the American-led forces withdraw during 2013-14.
The massacre of 16 Afghan villagers at the hands of US Staff Sergeant Robert Bales does more irreparable damage. It is correct in a sense to say the actions of a deranged individual should not influence the pace of withdrawal. This should be decided by commanders in the field based on conditions on the ground within the framework laid down by the President. But the potential for further such incidents to undermine the good work being done by the vast majority of US-led troops now becomes one of those conditions on the ground that must go into the assessment.
So the three-year draw-down becomes an exercise in managing a fractious and hostile partner in Afghan President Hamid Karzai, who is understandably looking to his uncertain future in a post-occupation Afghanistan and taking out insurance.
Could anything be worse? To Afghanistan's west lies Iran, where the government is busily enriching uranium to concentrations far in excess of those required for the civilian or medical uses it claims to be pursuing, causing Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to bristle.
As Republican presidential candidates accuse Obama of "weakness", the President is banking on ever tougher sanctions to bring the government in Tehran to its knees, forcing it to abandon the pursuit of nuclear weapons.
However, this could also prompt Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, to conclude that his best protection is to secure a nuclear weapon as quickly as possible, and push oil prices up to intolerable levels for the West.
Obama is also banking on the sanctions – which the International Energy Agency says will cut Iran's oil exports in half by July – convincing Netanyahu to stay his hand for the time being.
Neither US nor Israeli intelligence agencies believe Tehran is actively pursuing nuclear weapons, a report in The New York Times says. But the uncertain intelligence from Iran makes it impossible to be categorical, and it seems to be putting in place some building blocks.
The uncertainty could foster suspicion and miscalculation, and lead to the disaster of another Middle Eastern war. The stakes are immense, all the players are aware of the pressure on Obama in an election year, and if something goes wrong, foreign policy could suddenly become a 51 per cent issue for Americans.

Clinical Significance
Diagnosis and treatment of liver, bone, parathyroid and intestinal diseases. Determinations of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) are important in liver and bone disorders. Levels of ALP are increased in both extrahepatic and intrahepatic obstructive disease and cirrhosis. Other liver abnormalities such as hepatic tumors, hepatotoxic drugs, and hepatitis cause lesser elevation in ALP levels. Pathologic new bone growth occurs with osteoblastic metastatic (e.g. breast, prostate) tumors with bone being the most frequent extrahepatic source of ALP. If ALP is the only raised value within a liver function panel, it should not be assumed that it is of hepatic origin. Additional testing should be done to rule out an extrahepatic source.

Creating a space for Birmingham's makers
by Emily Lowrey • January 07, 2013 @ 11:10am
Bruce Lanier leans forward and uses both hands to talk about a Maker Space - a shared building equipped with tools that designers, dreamers and builders need to create. It's a concept that he and a handful of Birminghamians, including his colleagues at Standard Creative, an architecture firm in Avondale, have been researching for years.
"We're going to have a place where people who want to build, but may have limited space at their home," says Lanier, "or maybe don't use a tool enough to own one can come to Maker Space to do that."
Lanier, who is an architect, is no stranger to business planning. He owns Standard Creative, and on his MacBook you'll find Excel data models where he's been busy forecasting the application of the concept here in Birmingham. "We could have three scenarios," says Lanier. "An hourly drop-in rate, a basic membership model for access to the space and a premium model for professionals."
Maker Space needs your assistance to help plan the space so it suits the needs of Birmingham's creative community. If you have 90 seconds, please take the online survey.

The research has taken Lanier to Portland, Oregon, where the ADX Maker Space operates. On ADX's website, you'll find courses that that range from "Sewing an Electronic Garment" to "Intro to the Metal Lathe." The group's mission is constantly evolving, but always focused on design and prototyping.
He's also visited 3rd Ward, a Maker Space in New York City. "Each Maker Space concept is a little different," says Lanier. "3rd Ward has an amazing photography studio space, so that's something we're wondering about for Birmingham too. We think about things like how it would be used by the community. This all hinges on building an engaged community."
Next week, he'll visit Nashville, Tennessee's Maker Space to view first-hand projects that may work well for Birmingham. "We're wrapping up our initial research phase after this visit," says Lanier. "We'd like to be ready to open sometime in 2013."

Each Maker Space is a bit different. Some are housed in universities or even elementary schools while others work out in the traditionally non-academic world. You'll find nonprofit and even for profit models too. "We've decided that the nonprofit model isn't for us. We'd like to work with the community so we can adapt quickly to their needs, so we'll be using a for profit model for Birmingham's Maker Space."
There are already a few dozen Maker Spaces in the world, and many work collaboratively. Ireland's Maker Space recently participated in a hacker cupcake challenge that sent a cupcake more than 1,700 miles to Buffalo, New York's Maker Space. The "challenge" part was getting the weight and packaging right.

One Maker Space project challenged elementary school students to redesign their entire school day. You can find the results and free teacher kit for the project here.

Excellent for eldelry bed-ridden person. Soothing ointment for sore skiin
this cream has been a miracle for chronic pressure sores from being in a wheelchair ,being an obese 52year old man wheelchair bound .it has stopped the bleeding and pain and protects against infection replaces endoderms and skin ripping tape and skin prep..
My son has super sensitive skin and I can only use 7th Generation wipes or Babyganics wipes on him. So when it came to time to find a diaper rash cream that didn't bother him, I tried this first because I loved how well it worked for my older son. Thankfully, this worked great on my sensitive son as well. Not only was it gentle enough but it really worked. Happy baby = Happy mommy :)
I'm a busy mom of 5. And diaper rash is the last thing that I have time to play with. I tried this product after trying everything else even RX meds nothing would work on my daughters sensitive skin so, I said I've spent money on everything else I might as well try this. OMG it was a life saver it cleared up the rash after one use and it was completely gone after two days. So now if I see a rash coming I reach for it and it does the trick well worth it plus it comes with a 1.00 off coupon inside the box. My only regret is that I didn't know about this product four babies ago. stop wastin money and purchase the last diaper rash ointment you'll ever want to buy. A little goes A LONG way. So only use a little it's very thick but it speads easily and it coats the skin so it leaves a protective barrier. I hopes this helps.
After my surgery, I have tried many ointment produces, even some of the most expensive one in the market, with no significant improvement. Then I bought this A and D ointment because my friend S.R. recommended it and their family use it for generation. Upon trying it and it does what it said in the product description, after few days of using it, my butt wound starting to heal, how do I know that? Because it doesn't hurt as much any more. I believe this may have to do with the first-aid additive within the ointment itself.

Orthodontic Care: What To Eat
For anyone that has been prescribed orthodontic braces and gone through the wearing cycle, the benefits are evident. Braces will completely transform your smile and do wonders for any self esteem issues you may have had because of crooked teeth.
Of course, this transformation can take up to a few years and the way you eat will have to be modified during the time you have the braces in your mouth. Here are some general eating guidelines for people with braces.
Foods to Avoid
When you have braces, it's wise to avoid certain foods altogether. Here are some foods to stay away from:
- Nuts
- Chewing gum
- Popcorn
- Chewy candies
- Chocolate chips
- Hard pretzels
- Pizza crust
- Croutons
With Caution:
- Bagels
- Chicken wings
- Spareribs
- Nacho chips
- Hard fruits
- Raw vegetables
- Granola bars
- Corn on the cob
Be sure to chew the 'caution' foods thoroughly with your back teeth, or cut them up so they're small. As time goes by, you'll figure out which foods will work and which ones won't. The world of orthodontics isn't overly complex, and you'll figure it out soon enough.
The Comfort Issue
The whole point of getting orthodontic braces is to straighten your teeth. However, the braces actually have to physically move your teeth into a new position. This involves getting the braces tightened from time to time, which involves pain. Not rolling on the ground kind of pain, but enough to make eating uncomfortable. Here are some eating tips for when you have your braces tightened.
- Choose softer food – foods with a liquid base like yogurts and soups work well the first few days. Mashed potatoes and thoroughly cooked vegetables might also work.
- Cut up food well – with your teeth ultra sensitive, you'll want to cut or tear your food into the smallest pieces possible.
- Play it by ear – during those first days when the discomfort level is at it's highest, avoid whatever foods you have to avoid. Also, treat your teeth a little more gently than normal when it comes to brushing.
A Word About Sugar
The case to avoid sugary and starchy foods is a strong one at any time, and even more when you wear braces. Plaque may be formed around the brackets of your braces from bacteria feeding on the sugar. In a worst case scenario, this plaque can eat away the calcium from your teeth and leave permanent white marks on your teeth.

The P-40 Tomahawk: One Of The Deadliest Aviation Legends
Along with the P-40 Warhawk and Kittyhawk, the Tomahawk series of aircraft was the further development of the P-36 Hawk platform. The Warhawk would become synonymous with the American Volunteer Group fighting in China against the Japanese under the identifiable nickname of the "Flying Tigers". Generally forgotten amongst the cast of American ace-makers in the war, the P-40 series was a capable and proven fighter aircraft in its own right and produced a bevy of famous pilots attached to her name – most notably were American airmen George Welch and Ken Taylor who were able to get their mounts airborne during the Japanese attack on Peral Harbor. Soviet pilots Nikolai Fyodorovich Kuznetsov, Petr Pokryshev and Stephan Novichkov all became aces flying thier Lend-Lease P-40s. The P-40 was a good fighter for its time, however production numbers never seemed to keep pace with the war, allowing technological developments and airborne tactics to evolve past the aircraft's usefulness and strengths.
Not an overly exceptional aircraft in any one category, the P-40 Warhawk was a deadly fighting machine in trained hands. The formidable armament of 6 x 12.7mm (.50 caliber) machine guns (up to 200 rounds per gun) was complimented by the ability of the aircraft to carry a bombload for an increasingly expanding workload. Warhawks were fitted with a liquid-cooled in-line piston engine as opposed to the air-cooled variety commonly found in the P-36 Hawk.
Though the French placed orders for the P-40 at the outset of the war, the eventual Fall of France forced the order to be diverted to Britain where it was promptly renamed the "Tomahawk". Some Tomahawk models would eventually end up in the hands of the American Volunteer Group in China which, in turn, offered up an increasing amount of aerial victories against intruding Japanese fighters and bombers.
Further improvements to the P-40 line produced the "D" model which raised performance specifications of the Allison piston engine. By this time, the dual nose-mounted 12.7mm machine guns were dropped from the design, leaving only the four wing-mounted machine guns. The deletion of the machine guns was offset to an extent by the addition of an optional undercarriage bomb rack that allowed for the provision of a single 500lb bomb adding to the versatility of the aircraft. On top of the diverted French Warhawks or Tomahawks, the British also ordered their own P-40D models and assigned the name of "Kittyhawk" to these.
By this time, the entire Warhawk series was becoming out-classed by the up-and-coming next generation piston flyers. Despite this fact, the Warhawk – in every form – continued to find success where ever it was fielded. So much was the impression of the Warhawk that the final "E" model was introduced and used to good effect throughout the North African campaign (as the Kittyhawk under British use) and again in China with the American Volunteer Group. Total production at war's end would amount to an astounding 16,800 P-40s.
Also, here's a video of an actual P-40 in flight courtesy of youtube.

AP - European leaders appeared unable to bring together all the parts of their promised grand plan to contain the debt crisis on Wednesday night, despite progress on key elements, as they struggled to persuade banks to agree to bigger losses on Greek debt.
Saxo bank chief economist Steen Jakobsen pinged me with an interesting set of comments regarding Italian interest rates....World has Major Funding GapOur estimation shows that on the 2012 interest payment alone Italy now needs to find additional 10 billion EUR to pay for the rise in interest rates.Some independent trading houses have calculated that the combined funding need for Spain and Italy combined (banks, and national debt) is 400-500 billion EUR per year for next two to three years.
A marathon nannycrat session ended with no deal as the IMF played hardball insisting Greece reduce debt to 120% of GDP by 2020. Not to worry, Jean-Claude "Lie When It's Serious" Juncker says progress was made.
Brussels (AFP) - Greece goes into talks with its eurozone partners on Monday demanding changes to a massive international bailout which could lead to its exit from the single currency bloc and into the unknown.
The head of Austria's central bank, Ewald Nowotny, and German finance minister Wolfgang Schaeuble have both made statements over this weekend that affect bailout options for Spain. In particular, Nowotny says Spain must seek help before ECB buys bonds. Spain would have to apply for a rescue package before qualifying for inclusion in the European Central Bank's plan to buy debt of struggling euro zone members, ECB policymaker Ewald Nowotny said.
By Research Recap: The support package for Greece benefits all euro area sovereigns by containing the contagion risk that would likely have followed a disorderly payment default on existing Greek debt, says Moody's Investors Service in a new Special Comment published today.
Euro-area finance chiefs, pressuring Cyprus to shrink its banking system as the condition for a bailout, are reviving demands they jettisoned last week as too extreme, four European officials said. Finance ministers for the 17 euro countries are considering a plan to shutter the two biggest banks in Cyprus and freeze the assets of uninsured depositors, said the four officials, who asked not to be named because the talks are ongoing. The ministers are holding a teleconference tonight.fla
Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades is meeting party leaders to hammer out a Plan B after a one-off tax on savings failed to get the support of any MPs. Germany says banks in Cyprus may never reopen if a bailout is not agreed, reports The BBC. Cyprus's finance minister is in Moscow to seek help from Russia, which holds multi-billion dollar investments.

Neil Young, 'Sugar Mountain Live at Canterbury House 1968' (Reprise)
- SPIN Rating:7 of 10
A dark, spectral presence in '60s folk rockers Buffalo Springfield, the youthful Neil Young also had an unnerving social adeptness.His deceptively fragile vocal style and skewed lyrical genius were already evident at age 22 in these 13 acoustic songs recorded over two nights at a Michigan Episcopal church.The chatty singer quickly had the bemused audience under his sway -- the epic sketch"Broken Arrow" presaged "Cortez the Killer"; "Out of My Mind" was as much premonition as tune; and "I've Been Waiting for Such a Long Time" was the foundation for many Young songs to come thatsuggested love could save his life.

We frequently see such patients with diabetes with renal insufficiency and a baseline creatinine well over 2. What is your opinion regarding the approach and management of such patients given that the vascular surgeon may be reluctant to revascularize as the dye load may push the patient to hemodialysis. My background is general surgery and hyperbaric medicine. Although I do perform arterial revascularization and would like to do more, we also routinely get healing of wounds in patients with an ABI of as low as 0.4 (albeit without the benefit of foot reconstruction).
Case Study: Healing A Chronic Wound In A Patient With Charcot Foot And PAD
This author provides an intriguing case study detailing the diagnostic workup and treatment of a chronic wound complicated by Charcot foot and peripheral arterial disease (PAD).
A 60-year-old male presented to the clinic complaining of a recurrent ulcer on the bottom of his foot for the past six months. The patient states his ulcer heals when he does not put weight on his foot but the ulcer opens up again once he starts walking. The patient denies pain to the area and notes that he washes his foot with 1% betadine solution everyday.
He says he previously received treatment for the ulcer that included the use of VAC therapy (KCI) and a skin graft, which did not incorporate into his skin. The patient also notes a previous bone biopsy that was taken when the wound was deeper and it was negative for osteomyelitis.
The patient's past medical history includes diabetes for the past 25 years, atrial fibrillation since 2007, congestive heart failure, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and bilateral lower extremity edema. The patient also had Charcot neuroarthropathy of the left foot 15 years ago that is now inactive. He currently has Charcot neuroarthropathy of the right foot.
The patient's past surgical history include coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) in 2002, cataract surgery for both eyes and surgery for a detached retina approximately eight years ago.
The patient's medications include carvedilol (Coreg CR) 12.5 mg twice a day; 60 units of insulin during the day and 40 units at night; lisinopril 20 mg daily; gabapentin 600 mg twice daily; ezetimibe 10mg q PM; simvastatin (Zocor, Merck) 40 mg qhs; lansoprazole (Prevacid, Novartis) 30 mg qam; and furosemide 40mg daily.
The patient has no known drug allergies. He denies tobacco, alcohol and illicit drug use. The patient works as a Realtor and lives alone. He also has a family history of heart disease, diabetes and stroke.
Aside from the aforementioned findings from the past medical history, the remaining review of systems was unremarkable.
Reviewing The Physical Exam Findings
The patient had no hair growth bilaterally on the foot and ankle but there was hair growth present proximal to the ankle.

24 May 2011
A Scottish municipality has imposed a ban on any new books by Israeli authors that were printed or published in Israel from its libraries, while another is calling on its citizens to boycott of Israeli goods. West Dunbartonshire Council, consisting of towns and villages west of Glasgow, reportedly agreed the ban after last year's raid by IDF naval commandoes on a ship attempting to break Israel's sea blockade of the Gaza Strip that led to the death of nine Turkish nationals. The ban followed a decision made two-and-a-half years ago following war in Gaza to boycott goods produced in Israel. According to that law, the council and all its public bodies are forbidden to sell goods that originated in the Jewish state.
A West Dunbartonshire Council spokesman told the 'Daily Express' newspaper over the weekend that the boycott was not retrospective and that no books had been removed from libraries. The council said that ten other councils had agreed to join the boycott. He admitted that Israel was the only country being boycotted by the council, adding that the municipality had no intention of issuing a ban on products originating from Iran, Syria or Libya.
Meanwhile, the Scottish city of Dundee has issued a recommendation to boycott goods produced in Israel. However, the matter was set aside after city legal advisers said it was likely illegal under European Union law, which forbids members from boycotting products from countries that have not had an official embargo imposed upon them. The City Council instead opted to distribute posters throughout the city asking residents not to buy Israeli goods and place a special sticker on products that are made in Israel.
"A place that boycotts books is not far from a place that burns them," Israel's ambassador to Britain, Ron Prosor, told the Israeli news service 'YNet'. European Jewish Congress President Moshe Kantor also reacted with outrage. "It is inconceivable that products from the Jewish State are banned or distinctively marked in Scotland," he said. "These acts are eerily reminiscent of darker times and perhaps there is a level of hatred that connects them."

Great idea! Why don't we Jews boycott scotch whiskey? If all the kiddush clubs drank Kentucky bourbon it would help the US economy and send a message to Scotland.
Dear Friends,
I am Scottish and ashamed fof my country for the first time in my life. The actions of a few communist student protester councillors with no understanding of Israel and its contribution to the world.
The BBC led propaganda of the politically correct left has inspired a few low level politicians to make poor judgements based on the pro Arab propaganda we are bombarded with.
While Iran hangs gays, Saudi whips rape victims, Syria supplies rockets to Hamas, Jordon funds terrorist camps and the entire Islamic global Jihadists movement plots the destruction of Democracy, freedom, western values and progress.
West Dumbarton is shaming Scotland.
Okay, my pathetic Scottish relatives, can I assume you will let your child die if she requires pharmaceuticals made in Israel? Will you abandon your Windows computer? Ready to trash your cellphone? Maybe you'll tell your daughter or gay son to vacation in Syria, Iran or Sudan? Or did your tiny liberal minds think you would just be giving up gefilte fish and Jaffa oranges? I think mass emigration since WW2 must have removed the best and the brightest from Scotland and left behind a fetid gene pool of envious Jew-hating troglodytes. I am ashamed to be Scottish.
I guess the mindset that forbids thousands of brilliant minds, yes even Jewish minds, will remain bitter and will only find satisfaction when their libraries are full of copies of the Koran. Good luck!
Maybe they should boycott Israeli goods such as, medicine, biotechnology, construction, agrotechnology, and a list of about 200 more items that make their lives more meaningful and prosperous. They should try getting what they need from the Palestinians.

Susan C. Engle, 50,
Susan C. Engle came into this world on
Susie was
born in Grangeville to Patricia and Johney Engle. She was the third
of five children born to the couple. She and her siblings grew up in
Kooskia and Syringa. Susie graduated from
her passion, she went to the
Her first
job in journalism was at the
Clearwater Progress, which she did to earn money while trying to
pay for college. After obtaining her degree, she worked for Lewiston
Printing as well as for a print company in
Susie also
worked at the Clearwater
Tribune before going to work at the
Lewiston Tribune on
She wasn't one to boast - much - but when she did something
she was proud of she would share her accomplishment with those close
to her. Susie was an amazing woman with a great many talents, but
none compared to her talent with words.
She, as a
child, would choose a word from the dictionary each week and would
practice that word as much as possible, using it as often as she
could. She brought her love of words to our readers in
The Edge with "Define
this." That was Susie - she loved to share her passion and her
She also
loved to share her humor, so much so that it wasn't uncommon for her
to play a joke on one of her many close friends here at the paper.
Once Susie even disguised her voice and called longtime friend and

The paper
wasn't all there was to Susie; she was a wonderful sister and
terrific aunt. Her family will forever miss her smile, kindness and
guidance. Susie was an extremely compassionate soul, who could
always be counted on by her little sisters and their children. She
never had children of her own but she treated her nieces and nephews
as if they were her very own, earning her the name Mama Susie.
Susie loved
animals, especially dogs. Her special companion Buddy could be found
by her side any time she wasn't at work. He, too, was treated as if
he were her child and meant the world to Susie.
On Dec. 13,
Susie's world was turned upside down when she was diagnosed with
gliosarcoma brain cancer and on Dec. 14 she was taken into surgery
to remove a large tumor.
Her last
months were difficult. She went from being a very independent woman
with an enormous vocabulary to needing help with most things and not
being able to find words. It was a hard transition for her, but it
was especially hard for her little sisters, who went from depending
on Susie to be the great big sister she had always been, to being
her caregivers. I think Susie would say here, "thank goodness I was
always nice to them."
Bonnie and
Gina have spent a great deal of time and energy making these last
months as comfortable and easy for Susie as they could and they did
a wonderful job. In the end, Susie knew she was loved!
Susie is
survived by her brother, John Engle of Juneau, Alaska; her three
sisters, Selena Bridges of Stites, Bonnie Engle of Lewiston, and
Gina and her husband Matthew Ottinger of Beaverton, Ore.; her
father, Johney Engle of Kooskia; nieces and nephews, Josh Smolinski
and Savanna Smolinski, both of Clarkston, Tyrel Smolinski of
Lewiston, Isabelle Ottinger and Tomas Ottinger, both of Beaverton,
Skylar Engle of Juneau, Sabrina Myers of Moscow, Christina Dick of
Hoonah, Alaska, Michelle Willis of Moscow, and Chelsey Byington of
Oregon; her faithful companion, Buddy, the dachshund; and numerous
aunts, uncles and cousins.

Lagoon Bay golf estate developer Werner Roux's case against the provincial minister of Local Government, Environmental Affairs and Development Planning was dismissed in the Cape High Court.
Minister Anton Bredell in April this year turned down Roux's rezoning and subdivision application of Hoogekraal near Glentana. The development proposal for the land included two 18-hole golf courses, a 198 ha residential housing section as well as a commercial node and hotel. Roux sought to turn aside Bredell's decision. In the application, Roux's legal team alleged that the minister's decision was unconstitutional in that he did not have the "functional competence" to decide on zoning and subdivision applications. The applicant purported that the George Council's decision last year to approve the rezoning and subdivision was the legally required approval of the application. Previous approvals The development had gone through a number of approval processes before being submitted to Minister Bredell. The first of these was the approval of the amendment of the George Urban Structure Plan from agriculture/forestry to township development. This was granted by the former Environmental Affairs Minister Tasneem Essop, but on the condition that her decision was still subject to a future rezoning approval by Provincial Government. The applicant argued that LUPO (the Land Use Planning Ordinance) did not grant authorisation to the minister to impose such conditions in her approval. Judge Ben Griesel dismissed this argument on the grounds of provisions in LUPO that specifi-cally authorise the minister to do exactly that. Larger region affected The developer also argued that Minister Bredell's decision was unconstitutional, because the Constitution dictates that applications for rezoning and township approval fall within the exclusive ambit of municipalities. However, Judge Griesel said in his pronouncement that he agreed with Minister Bredell's argument that Lagoon Bay will have an impact beyond the George municipal area and will affect a larger region. It therefore falls within the ambit of regional planning and develop-ment. Referring to a number of sections in the Constitution, the judge said it was "abundantly clear" that the Constitution entrusts provinces with extensive powers of supervision and monitoring of local government. He concluded that the developer's argument could not be accepted and dismissed the application with costs. 'Dumbfounded' Commenting on the outcome of his application, Roux said, "We are studying the pronouncement and will then take advice from our legal team. "We are dumbfounded and of course very disappointed. We will probably appeal against the ruling." By Alida De Beer

Angelina Jolie's decision to undergo a prophylactic double mastectomy to limit her genetic risk for breast cancer demonstrated a lot of courage. It also demonstrates that genetic testing is a real part of disease prevention. But though the discussion she has prompted is helpful, it is not going far enough.
Although the "BRCA" type of gene she inherited is named for BReast CAncer, mutations in those genes also affect other organs, particularly the ovaries. Your lifetime risk for ovarian cancer increases from about 1.5% to Jolie's estimated risk of about 50%.
But nobody is talking about the increased risk of other cancers that BRCA mutations cause, such as the "silent killer," pancreatic cancer.
They should. Sharon, who is BRCA2-positive, was diagnosed with it a year ago, and we believe more BRCA-positive women can — and should — be screened for pancreatic cancer.
This differing opinion means many women are not being given the option to be screened for a silent killer.
Sharon has a strong family history for ovarian cancer: Her great grandmother, grandmother and aunt died young from it. Sharon grew up with the belief that she would suffer a similar fate.
Until she read an article over ten years ago discussing the BRCA1 and 2 genes. It was the first study reporting that women with BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes could reduce their risk of breast and ovary cancer by 75% by having their tubes and ovaries removed. We arranged for genetic testing, and Sharon tested positive for BRCA2.
While the positive results brought on a sinking feeling initially, relief followed, because there was something that could be done to potentially alter destiny and avoid ovarian cancer. A month later, Sharon underwent surgery to have her tubes and ovaries removed. Continue reading

Organic Cultures
Buckley, MI 49620
United States
ph: 1.231.269.3261 - Open 4 to 8 EST
Natto Spores (aka Natto-Moto) is the starter culture used with soybeans to make traditional Japanese natto. You can make nattomoto (or natto for short) fresh at home. This powdered starter culture comes with complete instructions and a special
measuring spoon.
Ingredients: Japanese natural natto starter spores (powder) natto moto.
Contains: 0.1 oz (2.83 g) tube; sufficient to inoculate approximately 50 pounds of soybeans to make approximately 88 pounds of fresh natto. The natto spores will last 6 months in the refrigerator or freezer; 3 to 4 weeks at room temperature.
Be sure the entire process, including all utensils, pots, cheese cloth, etc. are as sterile as possible. (Boil utensils for 5 minutes prior to using.)
The jar of natto spores comes with a special small spoon; be sure to use the small spoon to measure the appropriate quantity for the recipe.
The fermentation process requires the natto be kept at approximately 100F degrees for 22 to 24 hours. Ovens with a low temperature setting can be used, as can large cube-shaped food dehydrators.
Natto is quite odorous while fermenting, and you may want to isolate the natto during
the fermentation time.
Natto-motto and white rice a Japanese favorite
-2 pounds soybeans (about 4 cups)
- 2 teaspoon water, boiled for 5 to 10
minutes to sterilize
- One spoonful (0.1 g.) Nattomoto Powder (use the special spoon that came with the Natto Spores) or per directions
- Cheesecloth or butter muslin
- Non-reactive pot (i.e., stainless steel, enameled, etc.)
- Large stainless steel spoon
- 3-4 oven-proof glass containers& lids
Inoculating natto spores on soy beans. Notice the cultured strings between t
he beans
Wash the soybeans and soak for 9 to 12 hours (longer soaking time recommended during colder months). Be sure to use approximately 3 parts water and 1 part soybeans to allow for expansion. You will end up with 8 to 12 cups of beans. Drain the beans from the soaking water. Place beans in a large pot, fill with water and boil for 9 hours. Drain the cooked beans and place in a sterilized pot. Dissolve one special spoonful of natto spores into 2 teaspoons of sterilized water.
Immediately pour the natto spore solution over the beans while the beans are still warm. Stir the beans and water mixture together carefully using a sterilized spoon.
Place a thin layer of beans in each of the 3 to 4 containers. If at any point during the process some beans are spilled on the counter, etc., discard the spilled beans as they can contaminate the other beans if added back in
to the batch
Place the sterilized cheese cloth over the top of the containers and place the tight-fitting lid over the cheese cloth. Preheat the oven, dehydrator, or KOTATSU Japanese Warmer to 100F.
Place the covered containers in the oven, dehydrator, or warmer and allow the natto to ferment for 22 to 24 hours being sure to keep the temperature
steady at 100 deg F.
At the conclusion of the fermentation period, let the natto cool for a couple of hours, then remove the lid and the cloth, replace the lid, and store the containers in the refrigerator at least overnight. The Natto can be consumed as early as the next morning and are often served as a Japanese-style breakfast. Natto can also be aged in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Smaller portions of finished natto can be stored in the freezer and
thawed for later use.
