Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Immigration might end U.S. gridlock
Can Republicans find a way out of the political dead end they marched into during the 2012 campaign? Can President Barack Obama make his second term more productive than the final gridlocked years of his first? Can Democrats and Republicans in Congress relearn the forgotten art of compromise after years of angry polarization?
The answers may depend on how the new bipartisan plan for immigration reform fares in Congress.
The initial signs are promising. The senators leading the effort are among the chamber's most practised negotiators, Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., and John McCain, R-Ariz. The Republicans who lead the House, where any immigration bill faces its most difficult test, haven't denounced the plan, even if they haven't immediately embraced it.
But the two most interesting players in the drama weren't those inside-the-room deal makers. Instead, they were two politicians whose role will focus largely on managing public opinion on the outside: on one side, Obama, and on the other, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.
Obama's main challenge in this battle is to stay out of the way.
That won't be as easy as it sounds. During his re-election campaign, the president promised to make immigration reform an early priority in his second term, and his aides have worked for months on a detailed legislative proposal that Obama had planned to unveil Tuesday in Las Vegas.
Instead, Democratic supporters of immigration reform asked him to hold back. A Schumer-McCain plan will be difficult enough to get Republican legislators to sign onto, they told him; an "Obama plan" would be dead on arrival in Congress.
Instead of acting as Mr. Inside, a role that brought him little success during the last four years, Obama's role is to act as Mr. Outside -- mobilizing public support, keeping pressure on Congress to move a bill forward and reassuring anxious Democrats that they're getting a good deal despite the concessions Republicans will demand.
In a sense, Obama is playing the same role on immigration reform that he's assumed in recent battles over tax rates and gun control. He's not trying to negotiate the deal, as he often did during his first term. Instead, he's seeking the mantle once conferred on Ronald Reagan, that of the nation's great communicator.
Amid the crises of his first term, Obama told the New Republic in an interview published this week, he did a poor job of "communicating with the American people about why we were doing what we were doing."
"And so I've been spending a lot of time just thinking about how do I communicate more effectively," he said, "as opposed to just playing an insider game here in Washington."
It will be tough for the president to resist the temptation to inject himself more deeply into the process, if only so he can claim credit for any results. But he's already passed the first test: His relatively gentle speech in Las Vegas did no harm. He warned Congress about the need for action, noted the need for a clear path to citizenship and signed on to toughening enforcement, a key Republican demand. But he didn't try to dictate the details.
That left Republicans without a lot to criticize about the speech. A Republican National Committee release Tuesday blamed Obama not for anything he said Tuesday but rather for his failure to pass immigration reform in his first term -- as if the RNC wouldn't have fought any such attempt tooth and nail.
Why is the GOP determined to turn itself back into a party that supports immigration reform after six years of spurning the idea?
"Elections," McCain said with refreshing candor.
Republican leaders noticed that Mitt Romney might have won the presidency if he had run as well among Latino voters as George W. Bush did in 2004. And unless they act, their problem will get worse. The Pew Research Center has estimated that the number of Latino voters will double in the next 20 years, from 12.5 million to 25 million, and the GOP doesn't want the bulk of those votes to go to the Democrats.
That's where Rubio comes in. The Cuban American son of immigrants is not only the GOP's most prominent Latino; he's also a hero of the "tea party" right for his uncompromising gospel of small government and free markets.
The Florida senator is already making the rounds of conservative talk show hosts, appealing to them to hold their fire and give the bipartisan effort a chance.
On Tuesday, he spoke with Rush Limbaugh, who had previously denounced the Schumer-McCain plan as amnesty.
Rubio promised to hold out for tough enforcement measures. And he said he was confident that, over time, many Latinos would turn into Republicans.
The radio host practically swooned.
"What you are doing is admirable and noteworthy," Limbaugh said. "You are recognizing reality."
On that score, for once, Limbaugh was right.
The question now is whether Rubio can convince enough other conservatives that a bipartisan compromise is in their interest -- and whether Obama can convince liberals that a compromise is in theirs.

HST International and Tjaarda Design have announced a new partnership that they say will "change the face of electric cars." Actually, what's going on here is that the partnership is changing whats under the hood of two iconic vehicles, the Mustang and the Shelby Cobra. As we learned when we spoke with Michael Kadie and Ed Monfort late last year, these conversions aren't going to be cheap, but the Tjaarda EVX Mustang and the HST Shelby Cobra EVX will certainly turn heads.

Beck-Schimmer, B; Schwendener, R; Pasch, T; Reyes, L; Booy, C; Schimmer, R C (2005). Alveolar macrophages regulate neutrophil recruitment in endotoxin-induced lung injury. Respiratory Research, 6:61.
| Published Version 865kB View at publisher |
BACKGROUND: Alveolar macrophages play an important role during the development of acute inflammatory lung injury. In the present study, in vivo alveolar macrophage depletion was performed by intratracheal application of dichloromethylene diphosphonate-liposomes in order to study the role of these effector cells in the early endotoxin-induced lung injury. METHODS: Lipopolysaccharide was applied intratracheally and the inflammatory reaction was assessed 4 hours later. Neutrophil accumulation and expression of inflammatory mediators were determined. To further analyze in vivo observations, in vitro experiments with alveolar epithelial cells and alveolar macrophages were performed. RESULTS: A 320% increase of polymorphonuclear leukocytes in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was observed in macrophage-depleted compared to macrophage-competent lipopolysaccharide-animals. This neutrophil recruitment was also confirmed in the interstitial space. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 concentration in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was significantly increased in the absence of alveolar macrophages. This phenomenon was underlined by in vitro experiments with alveolar epithelial cells and alveolar macrophages. Neutralizing monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in the airways diminished neutrophil accumulation. CONCLUSION: These data suggest that alveolar macrophages play an important role in early endotoxin-induced lung injury. They prevent neutrophil influx by controlling monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 production through alveolar epithelial cells. Alveolar macrophages might therefore possess robust anti-inflammatory effects.

You are using wrong order of vendor-prefixes:
border-radius: 10px;
-moz-border-radius: 10px;

And the right order is:
-webkit-border-radius: 10px;
-moz-border-radius: 10px;
border-radius: 10px;
Instead create propertie CSS ".l_arm,.r_arm" you can create a class arm applicated in the arm div and remplace ".l_arm,.r_arm" by ".arm". I think that take less charactere
Sup up Hates off of CSS3
I think you just taught me how to draw in CSS :D

Cool stuff.

On October 24, NYAM's Health Policy team partnered with Mount Sinai's Manhattan Community Transformation Grant Coalition to commemorate Food Day 2012 by hosting a Healthy Food Walking Tour in East Harlem. Food Day is a nationwide celebration and movement toward healthy, affordable, and sustainable food. Participants learned about eating behaviors and healthy habits for wellness while visiting some great places to find a healthy bite along Madison and Lexington Avenues. A tour guide from El Museo del Barrio led a second tour focusing on the historical and cultural significance of food in the community.
"We were really excited to see community and local businesses come together to celebrate food," said Devin Madden, Project Manager at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine Department of Health Evidence and Policy. "We're thrilled that there are so many businesses offering healthy food options in this community. We need to support those businesses on Food Day and throughout the year, and encourage more businesses to give back to their neighbors by offering healthy, affordable options."
"I was impressed with how open and welcoming the East Harlem community and restaurants were to us in celebrating Food Day," said Martine Edmund, Administrative Assistant for Health Policy at NYAM, who organized the event. "I believe Food Day is the start of a necessary dialogue between restaurant owners and patrons to ensure restaurants continue to provide meals that not only reflect the culture and diversity of the community, but also provide healthy food options that will attract residents."
NYAM has also been active as a member of the East Harlem Community Alliance, a group of local businesses, nonprofits, religious organizations, government agencies, and citizens that was created to improve the health outcomes of the East Harlem community. The Alliance works toward this goal through economic development initiatives, which are related to the area's determinants of health and represent an important opening step in improving the conditions in the community.
The Alliance has three main initiatives: Hire East Harlem aims to improve job prospects for East Harlem residents by creating an online job bank job matching portal that can be utilized by both job seekers and employers. Buy East Harlem aims to increase the amount of purchasing from and between East Harlem Businesses and to create a user-friendly directory of East Harlem businesses. And Serve East Harlem will facilitate the connection of East Harlem residents to needed social services by compiling the information of all of the human/social service organizations in East Harlem into an online database.
"At NYAM we know that economics, social policies, and politics all impact an individual's health," said Simone-Marie Meeks, Director of NYAM's Office of Community Engagement. "A person's health will almost certainly be different based upon where s/he is born, grows up, lives, works, and ages, hence our commitment to the East Harlem Community Alliance."

Date of Stay: June, 2011 - $42.00
When we checked in, we were charged an extra $10.00 for our own golf cart AND our tow vehicle! We were not told about these charges when we made our reservations and no one could explain why we were being charged extra for the vehicle that got us here. My in-laws drove a motor home in and they were charged extra as well. (No additional vehicle). There was no Wi-Fi available, even at the lodge we tried to connect and where unsuccessful. Cell phone service was non-existant. The staff was NOT friendly at all and extremely rude when we "broke a law." There was no mini-golf as they bulldozed that. No dog run and the dog beach is a 4 foot area with a large pipe in the water that our dog cut her paw on trying to swim. The dock they show kids jumping off of, is now old and rickety. Some sites were VERY small and tight. Couldn't put up our awning all the way. On the positive side, there is lots of shade and large oak trees. Family pool was nice and would have a beautiful view of the lake if it didn't have the large wooden privacy fence all the way around. Many live ins, the exterior of the cabins looked cute. We won't return as the staff and their "HOA police" were enough to frustrate our family! We camped at Elite Resorts at Salt Springs in a Fifth Wheel.
Date of Stay: July, 2010 - $71.00
In July, 2010 I stayed for a week in one of the 38 cabins at this resort. The cabin was okay but should have been a little nicer for $500/wk. The resort seemed nice but the staff made us feel very unwelcome. They have many petty little rules that they enforce with great vigor. At check-in, the person at the gate gave me a parking pass and said, "We tow cars frequently so make sure this is displayed at all times in your vehicle." They could have said this in a much nicer way. Later in the week, I had a relative visiting and went to the gate to arrange a pass for them. They acted like this was a terrible imposition and began reciting all their concerns about another vehicle entering their resort. They warned me that if I gave my gate code to my visitor that I would be evicted. Geez, talk about over-reacting. They have a 10 mph speed limit in the park which they enforce with great delight on all vehicles including golf carts and bikes. We had a large family dinner and one car had one tire half on the road. One of the staff came in and told us to move it NOW. We said we would get it right after dinner and they said, "No, get it NOW". The whole place just exudes an aura of overstrict enforcement of petty little rules. Lastly, cell reception is almost non-existent in this resort. AT&T had zero. Sprint had zero. Verizon had enough for texts about 50% of the time but no voice capability. These problems may be leading to a mass exodus of owners. There were a LOT of for sale signs on the RV slabs and on the park models. I won't be returning. I just hope that I get my $100 security deposit back. We camped at Elite Resorts at Salt Springs in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: April, 2010 - $32.00
I think this is a great campground. They have so much to choose from and many things for the kids to do. They do candy bar bingo and cake walks. My younger ones love to come here due to all the activities they have. There are a few rude people in the park, but for the most part we felt very welcome and will come back many times. We camped at Elite Resorts at Salt Springs in a Travel Trailer.
Date of Stay: March, 2010 - $32.00
The park was very large with plenty of room to walk and was scenic. The majority of the rental sites we saw were run down with poor upkeep. Our site was bad! Broken and worn out asphalt, no grass, rotted picnic table that was not safe to sit on. Wi-Fi was available at the lodge but took me back to the early days of dial up. Slow!! Was not worth the walk! Cell phone signal was poor to none at all. Staff was not very sociable and in some cases rude, but some of the owners were friendly. Will not stay here again. We camped at Elite Resorts at Salt Springs in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: February, 2010 - $30.00
This is a very nice park, clean and well maintained. We stayed here for two weeks. The only problem we had was that our cell phones would not work in the park. Others did work but not sure of what service they had. We would return. We camped at Elite Resorts at Salt Springs in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: May, 2009 - $33.00
Each campsite is privately owned. Some have mobile homes on them and others you can rent and park your RV. Most of the people are locals and are not friendly to campers. The security guard "Lester" yelled at me for riding my bicycle on a path by the lake. It was very apparent that this park wants homeowners, and not campers..I would recommend that you skip this place for one of many in the area. We will not be back. This park was a scene out of the movie Deliverance. We camped at Elite Resorts at Salt Springs in a Travel Trailer.
Date of Stay: September, 2008 - $37.00
We stayed here a few years ago and it was a nice place with activities and friendly folks. This time when I went to check in they (the store area) told me that it was under new ownership and that they had nothing to do with the campground. I mentioned that the signs still said this was check area and they told me, "Like I side we have nothing to do with the campground you need to go to the gate." The place is mostly cabins anymore that are for sale, and there are about 100 for sale signs all over the place. The shower houses are about as clean as any gas station's restrooms. Most of the folks you see are over 60 (me too), and there are no activites except for church on Sunday. I think the small restaurant only serves breakfast on the weekends. I don't think we will ever go back. I am sorry because this was the first place we camped after moving to Florida and we really enjoyed it back then. We camped at Elite Resorts at Salt Springs in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: July, 2008 - $27.00
We have stayed here many times throughout the last several years. Our group consists of church friends and family. This year the group rented 3 cottages and 10 RV sites. Until this year, we have had a great time. The rules have severely changed and the management is no longer camper friendly. Kids are not welcome here. I cannot begin to tell the horror story of this year's outing. We were actually evicted from the "resort" by the lies and fabrications of the management told to the police. There is not enough room or time on this forum to tell the whole story. Our group has decided we will never, ever stay at this place ever again! We camped at Elite Resorts at Salt Springs in a Travel Trailer.
Date of Stay: April, 2008 - $37.00
This park has a lot of amenities but very strict. It is not a kid friendly park. We have stayed here several different times. It appears guest (campers) are not welcomed by the members of the park. The park patrol seems to take it to the extreme with visitors and not with members & their visitors. We camped at Elite Resorts at Salt Springs in a Travel Trailer.
Date of Stay: January, 2008 - $32.00
This is a very nice park, the roads are all paved as are the sites. We found the other residents to be very friendly and welcoming. We rode our bikes around the area and got waves and smiles from everyone we met. This is a secure gated park and we felt very safe there. The rules are strictly enforced but this was not a problem as the rules are very reasonable. There is a shopping center adjacent to the park which has a small store and two restaurants in it. We will definitely stay here again. We camped at Elite Resorts at Salt Springs in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: September, 2007 - $32.00
We camped here in a brand new Fleetwood Popup. When I made the reservation, I was asked if we had our own bathroom and shower with a sewer hook up. Apparently this is an issue among the homeowners association, but I was never told why. Upon arriving, we were asked by no less then four different homeowners if we had this and each time we said yes. I am still unclear as to why this was an issue, but I can say it did get a little annoying. We certainly felt the vibe that we were not overly welcome there. We soon noticed that we were the only popup in this park. Another instance that was more than a put off was the fact that my daughter and her friend were told they were not allowed to ride their scooters in the park without helmets and no one under 10 can ride a scooter at all. Unfortunately my daughter is nine and we did not bring helmets. If we had been directed to these rules before we came, we certainly would have brought helmets. However, the rule about being over 10 was somewhat arbitrary and unfair. This campground had beautiful amenities... pool area, fishing area, putt-putt golf, etc. As well as the bath houses being immaculately clean and well maintained. But in light of the somewhat rigid and heavily enforced regulations from the parks "homeowners" we will not be returning here. There are quite a few retirees living in this park full time and some of their site were beautifully landscaped. Keep this in mind when visiting this place. Outsiders are not overly welcome. We camped at Elite Resorts at Salt Springs in a Tent Trailer.
Date of Stay: August, 2007 - $32.00
This is a really nice campground. Each site is individually owned, so some are better than others. You can also rent directly from the owner at a cheaper rate, but you have to drive around the campground and find the signs and then call. They have an adult pool, a family pool and a kiddie pool. Also have a hot tub. You can get free wifi at the lodge and by the pool, not at the sites. Site are generally pretty good size and most are paved. There are a bunch of activities, a couple of cafes, and a very nice camp store. People are very nice, but strangely the office is not open on the week-ends and you can only make reservation by phone. The only negative is that there is almost no cell reception at the park. Otherwise a great place to stay for a few days if you like being on the water. We camped at Elite Resorts at Salt Springs in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: February, 2007 - $28.00
Nice park - I agree with the other reviews. We got reprimanded for setting up our Starband satellite tripod because we had wires running across the ground. They have discontinued the WiFi system they used to have. Consequently I would rate them NOT internet friendly. Very poor cell phone service. We would stay here again for a short while. We camped at Elite Resorts at Salt Springs in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: September, 2006 - $25.00
Wonderful park -lots of fun. Will return. We camped at Elite Resorts at Salt Springs in a Motorhome.
This park has everything you would ever need. Two pools, one for kids and one for adults. Park has a post office, produce stand, boat dock, two restaurants, hot tub, and lot of rooms to use. Pools and playground equipment are on Little Lake Kerr. Park has cottages on lake if you do not come by RV. Very little noise here. Lots of trees to park under. Cell phone service is very low. Cable TV was great. Staff was nice at check in. We camped at Elite Resorts at Salt Springs in a Motorhome.

True to the Blues
Brown Eyes the Blues: The legendary pianist is a genuine honey dripper.
Charles Brown stays his musical course
By Nicky Baxter
YOU CAN COUNT on one hand those musicians who are still professing the blues a half-century after first receiving their calling. Charles Brown is almost as popular today as he was when his hit "Driftin' Blues" hogged the R&B charts in the mid-'40s. At 75, the blues pianist and singer can still warm up the chilliest of evenings. What's more, Brown does everything with the kind of class you thought was extinguished when black-and-white movies became obsolete.
Brown virtually invented what is mnow known as "West Coast blues," a style characterized by mellow vocals and sparse, laid-back musical accompaniment. Influenced heavily by Nat "King" Cole, Brown in turn smoothed the path for Ray Charles--listen to Charles' "Confession Blues" for proof. However, where Charles took up funk and lashed it to jazz, Brown has remained true to his cool, bluesy roots.
In the end, only time distinguishes, say, 1946's "Sunny Road" from "News All Over Town," recorded 50 years later. Both feature slightly melancholy vocals, a simpatico rhythm section and a piano style that has one foot in the church and the other in a neighborhood speakeasy. Honey Dripper (Gitanes/Verve), released two years ago, is easy to track down and well worth the effort. Brown penned only two of the 14 tunes here; he is not as prolific a writer as he once was. No matter, because Brown is a masterful interpreter of other songwriters' material. "Gee," a song that did respectable chart business when first released some 40 years ago, is as snappy here as the original, showcasing longtime associate Clifford Solomon's prancing tenor saxophone, while Ruth Davies' stand-up bass struts with the spring and precision of a dancer.
The album also features a guest appearance by blues diva Etta James. "If I Had You" finds the two trading verses like would-be lovers confessing their hearts' desires. James is in particularly excellent form, answering Brown's smooth husk with blue-jazz declamations of her own.
Blessed with a self-effacing sense of humor, Brown often regales audiences with stories concerning past triumphs and tragedies. He is an entertainer in the best sense of the word. While Brown tours infrequently, he does manage to slip into the studio with clockwork consistency. Unhappily, his most recent outing, Charles Brown: 1946, is difficult to come by. Lucky for us, Charles Brown isn't; and, judging from his last visit, a stellar SRO performance, he'll be around for a while.

Call Center Managers in the United States can expect wages of $53K per year on average. Overall incomes of Call Center Managers — including $12K bonuses, $10K profit sharing proceeds, and $20K commissions on the more lucrative end — generally ranges between $35K and $82K. Career duration and the particular city each impact pay for this group, with the former having the largest influence. Work is enjoyable for Call Center Managers, who typically claim high levels of job satisfaction. Women make up a slight majority of Call Center Managers (56 percent) survey respondents. A large number enjoy medical while a fair number get dental coverage. Vision coverage is also available to the greater part.
A call center manager develops, implements and audits policies and procedures related to the flow of information and the systems used within the center's operations. A main function of any call center manager is to oversee the way in which customer service calls are handled. Call center managers must establish standards of performance for the operational staff of the call center and effectively manage their staff to consistently achieve these standards. In essence, a call center manager is responsible for all day to day activities within a call center, as well as the departmental budget. The duty of call center managers centers around management of employees and operations of the center. A call center manager must be able to rise to the occasion and to adapt to new situations quickly. This position is not physically taxing, but can be mentally exhausting. Call center managers work where one would expect to find them- in a call center! Call centers for almost any medium to large sized company need managers to oversee their day to day operations. These companies are not limited to any specific industry, as customer service is required in almost every type of business. Call centers managers have many employees which they work with. The bulk of a call center manager's interactions are with the employees which he or she manages. Other co-workers include departmental heads of different divisions who may address certain issues that could potentially related to the duties of the call center. Client interaction is also a big part of a call center manager's job. Call center manager's may need to deal with particularly difficult customer services issues, or when somebody asks "Can I speak with your manager?" Education requirements for call center managers are not formal and they are not uniform. Some managers simply climb the ranks from starting out as customer service agents. Many of these positions do, however, require a minimum of an associates degree. Some companies will waive the degree requirement if the candidate has sufficient customer service experience. Hours for call center managers can vary depending on when the bulk of customer calls are received. Typically, a call center manager works a normal, 40 hour work week; although some managers at high volume call centers can put in extra hours. A typical day involves dealing with operations of the call center, resolving customer problems, briefing other departments of any needed information, and holding regular staff meetings to inform department employees of important news or changes in policy.

The shutout was the 16th of DiPietro's career and the first for Coach Jack Capuano since he took over for the fired Scott Gordon five games ago. New York hadn't won since an Oct. 21 decision over Tampa Bay.
The Islanders' offense came from Jesse Joensuu, who got his first goal this season in the first period, and Rob Schremp, who got his second of the season in the second.
"It's a good feeling for the boys," Capuano said. "The key was to get through the neutral zone and get pucks to the net and we did a good of that for about two periods and then the tide turned. The penalty kill came up big for us in the third."
The loss busted the Devils' modest, two-game win streak. John Hedberg made 18 saves for New Jersey.

You can't just mount a filesystem and run a command to determine what the quota is, as set by the box the filesystem
is from. That's not how things work.
If you want to know the quota stats of user A on box B of filesystem C, you need to be on box B. Mounting filesystem C on system D isn't going to give you the answer. However, I don't see what this has to do with Perl. Abigail In reply to Re: quota checking with Linux and Solaris??

Hearing Trest and Cut talk about the execution is so exciting. Scary stuff all these guys are on the same fricking page. This's going to look like big boy football. Now you all know why we are all so optimistic about this team.
re-watching that play, its clear that having tall WR/TEs is crucial. The defender was actually in good position to swat or deflect a pass if it was any lower, and if Jay threw it any higher, it wouldve been out of the endzone. Instead, he uses Bennett's height to allow him to jump up and grab the ball, giving the defender no chance to make a play on it.
Having a tall TE that can catch like "The Black Unicorn" shows us how STUPID of a move it was getting rid of Olsen by Angelo, Lovie & Martz. It's a crutical part of continuing drives in the NFL anymore and a safety blanket for a QB when checking down in his reads.

A Custom Titanium Implant-Retained Single-Tooth Restoration: A Clinical Report
Stephen M. Schmitt, DDS, MS/David A. Chance, DDS, MS
Titanium is an inexpensive metal that can be used to create custom cast restorations. Although special investment and casting equipment is needed to make titanium castings, the potential benefit of inexpensive, biocompatible, and custom restorations is significant. Porcelain can easily be applied to titanium with excellent bond strength and esthetics. Problems associated with casting roughness and fit can be corrected using electrical discharge machining. A method of diagnosis and treatment planning that evaluates the restorative space prior to implant placement and eliminates the use of machined components is presented. (INT J ORAL MAXILLOFAC IMPLANTS 1996;11:782786)
Key words: cast restoration, electrical discharge machining, implant, titanium

Reviews Summary |
Another impressive new producer helping push the parameters of hip-hop outward to the creative extremes - Boomkat / Warm, organic and lively - Spacelab / Sleeper strayed from the music herd long ago. It is now everyone else's challenge to go find him - Larryville |
Reviews | |
Sleeper (a.k.a. Carlos Ransom) began his career behind the turntables about a decade ago and has since added a range of bent, DIY instruments to his repertoire. On his second full-length album, Behind Every Mask, the one-man-band supports his lo-fi, fuzz-saturated musical space with a backbone of traditional hip-hop beats. The album is run-through with strange, but not necessarily out-of-place, samples of dialogue ranging from a woman ironically lamenting the invention of the drum machine on "Condition or Effect" to the distorted mumblings of a man over psychedelic shimmers on the complicated "Mr. Megatron." The strongest track, "Witch Hunt," places clinical dialogue over a compelling syncopated beat and layers of beautiful, speaker-melting reverb. - XLR8R |

Telephone: (309) 693-4418
Fax: (309) 689-9064
The Dispatch Office is the communications hub for the Department of Transportation and Fleet Services. Our office is open from 5:00AM - 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday. As always, both senior and junior staff are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Dispatch is the link among all 150 buses, supervisors, emergency services, and the district office. This office handles route coverage when absences occur, dispatches emergency response teams, and provides safe transportation for the students of Peoria Public Schools.
Dispatch respond to each driver's transmission, which can range from general information, to emergency situations that require communication with Police or Fire departments. Dispatch receives and respond to telephone calls from drivers, supervisors, Central Office, schools, parents/students and administration. Dispatch handles calls from frustrated parents and school personnel trying to locate a student or determine what time a bus will arrive.
So we may assist you as quickly as possible, please have the following information ready when you call:
Name of Student
Name of School
Bus or Route Number
Location of pick up/drop off
Missing Students
First thing is to remain calm. Traffic, adverse weather, or combining of routes can cause your child's bus to run late. If it is 15 minutes after the scheduled arrival time, your first call should be to the Transportation Office (309-693-4418). The sooner transportation is notified, the sooner we can get a hold of your bus driver to inquire.
Peoria Public Schools has a procedure in place for locating "missing students" which will be activated the moment we receive your phone call.

The reflection of the camera can be seen in the glass behind Vic as he's talking to Corinne in the clubhouse.
Moses: I ain't done no harm.
Shane: You waking up in the morning does harm.
Asst. Chief Phillips: We've already notified Homeland Security. They'll be taking over from here.
Vic: When the men from U.N.C.L.E are cruising Alvarado looking for Osama, I'll be sweating some good, old-fashioned, trashing-talking American dipshit.
Vic: The Feds are gonna be here in a minute. Once they get here, I can't help you.
Jamal: Oh, white people get shot, and it's a federal case now?
Vic: Oh, we're way past black and white. Your boys used the Al-Qaeda card, which means you got a rainbow coalition of law enforcement shitting multicultural bricks.
Dutch: Brass have to be pleased to get these killer kids off the street.
Claudette: No, no, they're too busy trying to plot how to hang me out to dry for being a racist. Deflect attention from their Al-Qaeda thing not panning out.
Dutch: So, uh, you're a racist now? How's that working out for you?
Shane: Hasta la vista, shithead.
Asst. Chief Phillips: Got a call claiming responsibility for the murders.
Vic: We already know it's Spook Street.
Asst. Chief Phillips: Caller confirms it's Spook Street working with Al-Qaeda.
Vic: (laughs) Al-Qaeda in the hood?
Dutch: There's an old saying, Nacio--if you never lie, you never have to remember anything.
Vic: (to Claudette) Meet Al-Qaeda's number two and three. Want me to call juvie, or you want to water board them?
Dutch: Young woman got her head bashed in. You're not disturbed by the apathy?
Billings: Why don't you take a look around you? We've been standing in the hot sun for how long now, and we are right where we started. So if you got some magic beans in your Detective bag of tricks that'll make these people give a shit, why don't you start planting them?
Claudette: Gang crime's up 14% citywide this year.
Vic: While Farmington's numbers are down. I guess I can't be everywhere.

Origins of the project
The Institute of Myology project was initiated by a group of leaders, patients and families from the French Muscular Dystrophy Association (Association Française contre les Myopathies, AFM) who wished to establish a point of reference, where specialised consultations, fundamental and clinical research teams and teaching on muscle and muscle diseases would all be grouped together in a public hospital. The project took shape through AFM's partnerships with the Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris (AP-HP), National Institute of Health and Medical Research (Institut National pour la Santé et la Recherche Médicale, Inserm), the Université Paris VI and the Nuclear Energy Commission (Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique, CEA).
To reach this objective, the Institute of Myology has set itself the following missions:
to bring research, clinical activities and teaching together in the same place
to gather performing means of investigation for diagnosis and care
to create a centre of expertise and a point of reference on muscle and muscle diseases
to set up coordinated clinical research programs
to participate in the development of new therapeutics
to provide families with adapted reception, support and medical expertise
to train and inform in order to increase understanding and public awareness of these diseases
The general structure of the Institute of Myology is under the medical and scientific direction of Dr Thomas Voit. AFM coordinates the structure and appoints Stéphane Roques, the Secretary- General. Directly attached to AFM's general management, the Institute of Myology is subjected to a separate budget presentation at AFM's Board of Directors.
Apart from its coordinating and teaching activities, the Institute is engaged in 5 main areas of activities :
Myology Research Centre, UMR 974 UPMC- INSERM. CNRS FRE 3617
Clinical Unit of Neuromuscular Pathology
Laboratory of Neuromuscular Physiology
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Laboratory (NMR)
Neuromuscular Morphology Unit.

The Compaq Presario C714NR was an excellent buy for the $400 price I was lucky enough to find. As of time of submission I see that it is available at Best Buy or HP.com with an upgraded CPU (T2330, 1.6GHz) for $500. Keep your eye on the laptop deals section of the forum for the occasional coupon code that can drop the price even more. Overall, I'm pretty happy with my purchase. Sure, there are a lot of "better" laptops out there, but you'll have a tough time finding one for a better price. In terms of price-to-performance comparisons, I'd put this one near the top. For those looking for just the basic mobile computing solution, the C700 series is worth looking into. It also makes a good second laptop for the kids. If you need something with more horsepower, you'll need to look elsewhere, but for those of us with simple needs this fits the bill and uses all current generation technology which is a great improvement over what's been available in the budget laptop realm in recent years.

15.4: 15 inch display-variants are the standard and are used for more than the half of all notebooks. 15.4 inch display with 16:10 are the standard for notebook displays. Nowadays, more and more 16:9 displays with 15.6 inch appear. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.
