There is no limit to the types of crimes for which a police officer may refer a youth to a gotomeeting conference. The message is also sent to NR to prune tree branches if necessary. This method has been adopted in this work. The senders do not need to know who the recipients. Due to the highly visual nature of delivery, it is possible that the content is covered more quickly through videoconferencing in a traditional setting. State is maintained in both the BBG and takes over when you consider that the GR has failed. To achieve this goal requires a reliable multicast transport.
You have an affecting point of view on this topic. I am glad you shared your thoughts and I find myself agreeing. I really appreciate your coherent writing and the effort you have spent on this post. Thanks for the solid work and good luck with the site, I look forward to more updates.
Every one understands that modern life is expensive, but different people require cash for different stuff and not every one earns enough cash. Hence to get fast loans and just financial loan would be a correct solution.

Might just be me but I find a LOT of iOS apps all look the same, so much so that I could blindly name apps and claim one ripped the other off without even looking.
Twitter designer finds Facebook for iPhone imitation decidedly unflattering
Facebook for iPhone, which previously took heat for making their Places icon a little too 4-squared, is now being called out by mobile designer Bryan Haggerty for copying Twitter's photo sharing UI.
Seriously Facebook? http://pic.twitter.com/0ifNsdY
Ok Facebook, enough with the flattery. http://pic.twitter.com/vSyHdpH
Though TechCrunch points out Haggerty was at LinkedIn when LinkedIn's mobile app looked a lot like Facebook. Twitter for iPhone is no stranger to flattery, however, as back when it was still Tweetie, it's "pull to refresh" feature was so intuitive it quickly spread to other apps and even web frameworks.
At a certain point, a "best" way of doing something gets discovered and for the sake of consistency and user friendliness, it makes more sense for that "best" way to become a standard. (See Lotus vs. Excel). Whether or not the Twitter photo sharing UI qualifies as something so good it should become a standard, we'll have to wait and see.

Twitter designer finds Facebook for iPhone imitation decidedly unflattering
Have you ever used the tools in the iOS SDK? Everything is made from built-in controls. When you have two apps that preform similar functions they are going to have the same form. They didn't copy anything. They didn't have to, the tools and the small screen push everyone in the same direction.
Exactly....Someone needs to build a bridge!
Copy-cat is a very general term in the IT industry. So how can an app or a utility can be apart from this term. If an application is successful in the market, then each brand wants to have such type app and go behind to chase the same developers who made it.
Cancel and Submit at the top. Check.
Keyboard at the bottom. Check.
Typing area at the top. Check.
Those are all no brainers. Apps that don't do that are confusing.
That's 90% of the screen. How can it not look similar!
Then you need a row of icons for your functions, the choices are above the text or below it. Most apps choose below it, even though it's between the text and the keyboard (which I think it's a little weird); while computer apps generally put them at the top....
That can be nice sometimes, since you know what to do and where everything is
He's american jackass
It's douche bags like you that give us a bad name with the brits
Actually I think you are reading that in the wrong way, he's saying that your comment is what gives America a bad name to the brits? Jumping in when you don't know the facts. You obviously don't know what happened with the riots, yes it was very stupid but it was a protest which turned ugly but you clearly do not know the full story.
Ok guys... you can do the same but changing de aestethics... these arent built-in components... its a flawless copy... i really dont care... but, its a copy!

The best ways to modernize your carwash
We reveal the top tips to making your carwash look and function like new.
While there are customers out there who might cringe at the thought of change, or who like the familiarity of the tried and true, there is also a whole lot of younger and new customers out there who want to make sure your carwash is in tip top shape, clean looking and up-to-date. It's potentially tough, balancing the two demographics. You will want to keep the loyal customers happy, but you will also want to make sure no one thinks your wash is out of date.
One way to appease all parties is to update and modernize your wash on a smaller scale. Fine tune it and keep it looking like new, without having to do any major refurbishing.
And, it's also about making sure you're doing what you can at your wash, and making the most advantageous choices. Dennis Snow wrote the book,Lessons from the Mouse: A Guide for Applying Disney World's Secrets of Success to Your Organization, Your Career, and Life. Hespent 25 years working for and at Walt Disney World. In his book, Snow talks about how it's important to make things look good at the park, without going overboard. It was once rumored that all of the hitching posts on Main Street USA were painted every night. Not true, wrote Snow. "The theory being that such attention to detail communicates a powerful commitment to quality. The reality is that doing such unnecessary work would communicate a willingness to waste time and money. The reality is that the hitching posts are painted when they need painting," wrote Snow.
The main point here is to do what you can, strategize accordingly and make changes that your customers will notice, either in the end result via their washed car, or in their overall visit to your business.
Now is the time
According to Marcus McLaughlin, a member of the marketing team at Belanger Inc., in the U.S., national employment has increased steadily for the last seven consecutive quarters, which bodes well for consumer confidence and discretionary spending on services like carwashing. But, he added, folks have come out of the recessionary period that began in 2008 with a new-found emphasis on value ― truly demanding 'more' for their money.
Regardless of wash format, today's savvy customers expect more value for money, following a simple and universal equation, where customers are satisfied when Value = Worth > Cost. Whether in-bay or tunnel, operators who equip their washes to meet and exceed these expectations, will position themselves to thrive in the new economy.
For the in-bay operators
"For many in-bay operators, the time for a system reload is now ― there are many bays out there with equipment that is 10, 12 or more years old, and it shows. The question in-bay operators should ask themselves is, 'Who wants to ride in a 12 year-old cab?' Meaning, how many of your customers want to pay today's prices to wash in a turn-of-the-century in-bay automatic?"
Fortunately, McLaughlin said, interest rates are at historic lows ― and attractive lease financing offers make in-bay reloads attainable for many operators ― often with a simple one-page application. The key to a successful in-bay upgrade is to select equipment that will truly update the bay with a modern user experience ― not simply replacing old equipment with a rebuilt carriage head or another copy of the 'same old system.'
"When it comes to updating, upgrading and modernizing a touchless bay, the best systems available today feature color-changing, LED-illuminated wash arms that both attract new business, and help customers load their cars for washing, quickly and with maximum confidence," said McLaughlin. "Not only do these systems have the 'WOW' factor that helps differentiate and brand the carwash site, they look completely unlike anything available 10 years ago ― and customers appreciate both their eye appeal and ease of use. For carwash operators and their customer base, these attractive, user-friendly systems are a true 'win-win' with long-term business benefits."
For the conveyor operators
For tunnel operators, opportunities to upgrade are more varied, ranging from colorful powder-coated, LED-illuminated arches that announce and promote service offerings, to smooth-running conveyors with zero grease point designs that durably transport vehicles, keeping washes running profitably, according to McLaughlin.
"Perhaps the most cost-effective upgrades for tunnel operators are 'bang for the buck' components that target the vehicle areas customers care about most. Because clean wheels are important to all customers, improved wheel cleaning should be a priority upgrade for operators. Today's best touchless wheel cleaners offer uniform cleaning with the smoothest wheel tracking action the industry's ever seen."
These units feature a new hinge-free pivot point that moves smoothly throughout its range of motion ― creating an almost 'robotic' effect that customers love, said McLaughlin. What's more, he added, these wheel cleaners feature a twin stacked spinner design that cleans with a highly effective 'figure 8' spray pattern ― delivering a durable blast of cleaning that older single-spinner wheel cleaners simply can't match.
"The popularity of these touchless wheel cleaners proves that while tunnel customers believe in the soft-touch cleaning style, they appreciate touchless components too ― both for their 'show' and their contribution to helping produce an 'all-over' clean on multiple vehicle surfaces," McLaughlin said. "That's why high-pressure arches are also well-received for the cleaning and rinsing capabilities they add to existing tunnels."
The operator can also add equipment that supports popular services like tire shining ― or replace older units with newer, better-performing models, said McLaughlin. "Modern 'individual roller' tire shiners consistently deliver rim-to-tread shine – while using as little as one ounce of chemical per vehicle. In the average tunnel, these new shiners can pay for themselves in just three or four months through chemical savings alone."
Take a look at your arches
The most intriguing new cleaning and rinsing arches use a captivating 'trapezoidal' motion that emulates the arcing of a handheld hose, bringing 'the best of the driveway to the wash bay' and creating a 30-degree overlap of coverage for each turbo nozzle, according to McLaughlin. Unlike previous high-pressure arches, he said, this new technology achieves durable 'jet' coverage with a zero grease point design, and without the installation, maintenance and programming complexities of belts, chains, photo eyes, sonars, or sensors.
"Lastly, a new breed of application arches promises highly visible improvements in form and function ― helping sell high-margin services, and increase tunnel operators' dollars per car," McLaughlin said. "These arches combine the appeal of bright powder-coated finishes and LED-illuminated spray manifold lenses, with a twisting 'flip' that synchronizes the top and side manifolds to effectively cover the front, mirrors, sides and rear of every vehicle ― for the most complete application coverage ever out of a single arch. For all-over vehicle treatments like presoaks, rinses, waxes, surface protectants and spot-free, these arches are the 'killer app' that deliver maximum value per dollar – driving unprecedented customer buy-in and loyalty."
The "look" of modernization
Although they say in business, the three most important things for success are location, location and location, but appearance has to be in the top five, according to Dennis Ryan, who has been in the carwash business since 1988 and the construction business for 40 years. He currently owns the American Pride Carwash in Wyoming.
"No one, particularly women, like to wash in an unattractive (or dirty) carwash. Men are less critical about looks than women but give them the choice side by side and most men will pick the nice looking one also," said Ryan. "People will drive right by a carwash if they don't like the way it looks. I'm not saying that the wash must be perfect or the Taj Mahal, but it must look nice. Of course it always helps for it to be more attractive with bright colors, lighting, openness, landscaping etc." Ryan said he has owned his carwash for 24 years and have repaired the walls in the original building twice. Because, he said, a successful carwash is neat, clean, well lit and all the services must work all the time.
As for the walls, it's important to maintain the original walls first and foremost. "Our attendants," Ryan said, "are instructed to wash the bays in the original building (white plastic walls) every time they wash the floor. Then once a month or so we have to scrub with a wall cleaner and rinse off to get back to the 'new' look. The new building with brown brick and brown mortar makes it harder to see the dirt on the walls so once a week we wash them down completely from ceiling to floor with high pressure soap."
Ryan admitted that they had to do some overhauling at his wash, too. "When the brown cinder block walls in the original building began to look a little tacky we put up porcelain tile in the five inside bays. They were 12 inches square, off white, looked and worked great for about eight years. Then one tile would drop off, I'd put it back up then another would come off. It got so I was redoing tile two or three times a week. And of course I couldn't repair it and make it look as good as before."
So, Ryan said he then had to bite the bullet and tore out all of the tile and installed new panels. "We changed to plastic walls in 2006, and its worked well. The colored panels that are in the sunlight have faded but the white has weathered well."
As for replacing block or brick walls, Ryan said a colleague of his built a portable "H" structure over the wall with steel beams with supports on each side so it would hold up the roof. "He would then remove the old block/brick and rebuild the brick wall. Then he would move the "H" structure to the next wall."
Five improvements worth considering
By Mike Lefever of the Kleen-Rite Corp.
- Meter boxes. New meter boxes make a big impression on the customer since this is how they make payment and interact with the equipment. You can offer credit card and bill acceptance as well as coins, and go with a switch that has more selections giving you the capability of adding more options to the bays. Custom meter box decals are also a nice touch. Having your own logo and color scheme on the decals makes them stand out from generic decals.
- Wall coverings. Putting up PVC wall panels or a fresh coat of paint(possibly using one of the newer paint systems that applies a clear coat over the color coat, giving a nicer looking and more durable finish) is like a night and day change in your bay appearance.
- New functions. New functions are always a good way to provide more value to your customers. Everyone has the standard wash/rinse/wax/foam brush, and most modern carwashes have functions such as presoak, tire cleaner, and spot free, but there are some newer options, such as triple foam, tire shine and air dry. The air dryers in particular have proven to be very popular with customers.
- Booms. When adding new functions to the bay that require their own hose and gun, the walls can get a bit cluttered with extra booms and hoses. To combat this, "Z-style" booms are becoming more popular. They allow you to mount multiple booms on the ceiling that will still clear each other, freeing up wall space and also making it easier for the customer to completely circle their vehicle than with wall booms.
- Signs, hoses, guns, brushes, etc. These are the other items that the customer looks at and interacts with when in the bay. It gives a better impression if signs are bright and not faded and hoses and brushes are clean and appear relatively new.

SNOW HILL — The activity room was crowded with about 50 residents, veterans, family members and staff to honor 13 veterans at Greendale Forest Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.
Five of them received special recognition for their service during World War II, the Korean War or the Vietnam War.
The event was held by the Snow Hill American Legion Post 536, which presented the flags. It was a first for the post, headed by Cmdr. Jasper Jones.
"Sometimes, the veterans at the nursing facilities are overlooked," Jones said, "and we want to make certain no veterans are unrecognized on Veterans' Day or any day."
One of those veterans was Darryl Bryant, who served during the Vietnam War in the mid-1970s, followed by several years in the reserves.
"It's good to be appreciated because it feels like we're finally recognized," he said. "When we first came back, we didn't get recognized, so this makes it all the better to get recognized, even at this late date."
Bryant was an anti-aircraft specialist in the U.S. Army and later moved to New York. Upon retiring, he had a stroke and was admitted to Greendale Forest. He met his wife Gail Bryant, also a veteran, when he was a cook and she was a mess sergeant in the reserves.
"I want to tell you, it's very much appreciated," she expressed about the event to Martha Wells, the nursing home's activity director.
The event's special speaker was Richard Sudduth, who spent 26 years in the Army and was deployed to Iraq; he took part in Desert Storm and Desert Shield. He is the readiness non-commissioned officer for the National Guard Army in Snow Hill and is an active fire and Emergency Medical Services member.
"The service members we honor today came from all walks of life," he told the audience, "but they shared several fundamental qualities. They possessed courage, pride, determination, selflessness, dedication to duty and integrity — all the qualities needed to serve a cause larger than one's self."
Sudduth reminded the crowd that many veterans left their homes, families to respond to the call to "protect a nation which has given them, us, so much."
"Our gathering is just one small spark in the flame of pride that burns across the nation today and every day," he said. "It's not a lot, but it's one small way we can honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice so that we can live in freedom."
Oree Fisher, a Greendale Forest resident, served in Korea in 1953.
"I feel proud," he said. "I served during the war, but I didn't fight."
He was one of six veterans who received a plaque and a flag.
Frank Hall, administrator of Greendale Forest, said the facility has recognized veterans in the past through other veteran groups, but hasn't in the last two years. The Snow Hill post stepped forward to head up the ceremony this year for the first time.
Hall said the recognition ensures these veterans are not forgotten, which is also important to their families. Some of them, however, don't have families to take them to similar outside events.
"When we have it here," he said, "it involves them in a way they may not otherwise have been involved."
It's a way to remember those who lost their lives for their country, Sudduth said.
"Your presence here today and that of the people gathering all across America," he said to the assembled veterans, "is a tribute to those lost troops and to their families."
Chanella Monroe of United Gospel Community Choir sang the National Anthem and a song of tribute.
Angelia Phelps recited a poem, "Heroes," by Jared Jenkins of Columbia Junior High in Fife, Wash. — which read, in part:
For those who have died, we show great appreciation and remembrance
For those who live, along with them live the horrific memories of battle
Some, memories of defeat
Some, memories of victory
Our veterans were more than soldiers
They were, and still are, heroes

|Introduction | Nikon 1 S1 sensor performance | Nikon 1 S1 versus competition | Conclusion
With an Overall DxOMark Sensor Score of 56 the Nikon 1 S1 ranks 129th for all camera sensors on the DxOMark Database and finishes 1st for Nikon 1 Series Hybrids. With the same Overall Score as the Nikon 1 J1 (56) and only 2 points better in comparison to the 54 achieved by the Nikon 1 V1 and J2 however, we measured no significant improvement in overall image quality compared with previous 10-megapixel Nikon 1 Series Hybrids.
What's more ranking just 20th overall for all Hybrids results from the smaller 1-inch CX sensor don't fare that well against its competitors. Scoring 11.1Evs for Dynamic Range the Nikon 1 S1 ranks 124th for all sensors and 18th for Hybrids. Contrast that with the 13.4Evs achieved by the top-ranking Hybrid the Sony NEX-7 that has a 2.3Evs better Dynamic Range than the S1.
21.4 bits for Color Depth places the Nikon 1 S1 in 130th Overall and in 2nd place for Nikon Hybrid cameras behind the J1 with 21.5. For Low-Light ISO the S1 score of 397 places it 158th overall and 3rd for the Nikon 1 Series, but with all of Nikon's Hybrid offerings hovering around the 400 ISO mark their performance here is also weak compared to Hybrids with larger APS-C sensors such as the Pentax K 01 with 1135 ISO or Sony NEX-C3 with 1083 ISO.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.

The annual one-day event provides direct help to people in need, bringing dozens of services to one place. Haircuts, health screenings, dental treatment, pet care and help for veterans were among the many offerings at the Everett school.
Neil Parekh, a spokesman for United Way of Snohomish County, said at the close of the event that an initial tally showed 1,202 people had registered. There were 335 service providers from 70 organizations and 130 volunteers.
Waiting for a vision check, Richardson held a backpack and brand new running shoes. Homeless, he is staying at the Everett Gospel Mission Men's Shelter. He said shoes wear out quickly with all the walking he does.
In a first for the event, the nonprofit Seattle group Redeeming Soles gave away running shoes -- 1,200 pairs -- donated by Brooks Sports, Inc. The shoes were stacked by size in Cascade's cafeteria, where people tried them on to find a good fit.
At 48, Richardson has been at the men's shelter a couple of months. He said he came west from Hutchinson, Kan., after getting a divorce and losing his job in an automotive shop.
"For 15 years I was rebuilding engines. They shut the business down. It gets difficult," he said.
The local United Way was the lead agency for this year's Project Homeless Connect, held annually since 2008 and at Cascade since 2010. It's a collaboration between Snohomish County, the city of Everett, and many service organizations. Everett Transit provided free bus rides to the school.
Snohomish County Executive John Lovick made a brief appearance at the start of the day, Parekh said.
Not everyone using services was homeless, and Parekh said no documentation was required to get help. "It's a reality, there are a lot of people in our community who need help," he said.
Parekh said Project Homeless Connect is not only a "feel-good" event, it provides important data about needs in the community.
There were definitely feel-good aspects to the day. Thirty hairstylists turned Cascade classrooms into makeshift salons.
"Everybody I've run across today kept thanking me," said Andrea Jones, 26, a stylist at SmartStyle in Marysville who volunteered her services for the day.
"I don't have much money to donate, so I donate my time if I can," said Jones, who by midmorning had finished five haircuts.
"It's overwhelming. I just can't believe all this happens," said Sue Stark, 52, whose sister drove her from Stanwood to event. Everett Community College cosmetology student Rebekah Robertson, 21, was cutting Stark's hair. "I'm so grateful for what all these people do," Stark said.
Clients awaited their turns in one of two mobile dental clinics, which were returning today for those who made appointments Thursday.
At a table in the gym, Reginald Taylor, a social services representative with the Veterans Affairs Puget Sound Health Care System, was answering veterans' questions. "Homeless veterans are as young as 23 up to 80. It's terrible," Taylor said. Many returning from Iraq or Afghanistan can't find jobs, he said, and some who do end up losing jobs because of "issues they haven't dealt with yet."
Nearby, a volunteer with Snohomish County Legal Services talked with a client at a table where a sign offered help with debt, eviction and divorce issues.
At a tent outside, volunteers with the Everett Animal Shelter talked with dog owners. Several veterinarians volunteered, offering vaccinations, flea treatments, or nail trims for pets. Volunteers also watched animals while their owners had health treatments or a free lunch.
Kimberly Wallace, 53, brought her 6-month-old pup, Paws. "I'm not homeless, but there's a lot of need," the Everett woman said. She came to Project Homeless Connect hoping to get dental care for her nephew.
Gerald "Butch" Erickson, 57, is about to be homeless. He has been staying in a room in Everett, but said he can't stay because people there are moving. His partner, 58-year-old Sherri Sommerness, said they spent two summers at an Index campground. "We have dinners at the Salvation Army, and go to church there too," she said.
Steven True and his girlfriend Collette Brotton were trying on free shoes. Their 4-month-old son Sirus was in a stroller. Brotton lives at Housing Hope. True, who is in drug treatment and said he hasn't used illegal drugs for six months, works part-time at Comcast Arena with a cleaning crew. "We've been through a lot of bumps," he said.
"It gives me chills just how much need their is," said Faith Simonelli, a manager at Volunteers of America. "It's sad we have to have an event like this."

Heat Loss
Hot water temperature drops en route from the water heater to the fixture or appliance. How much heat is lost depends on the length of the hot water pipe and the air temperature surrounding the pipe. If the pipe runs through an unheated crawlspace or basement or along an exterior wall, the hot water temperature drop can be significant, especially in winter. The solution here is to insulate the hot water pipes. Also consider a hot water recirculating system for distant fixtures.

So again, your conclusions about adolescence are premature, if you will, from a scientific perspective. In other words, your understanding of age, like gender and other social constructs I am sure, is superfically and artifically constructed. But nice try though.
Our discussion is not about teen emotional and behavioral problems that could stem from cultural perceptions,peer groups or psychological problems in teenagers. I am also not talking about intelligence, visual acuity or memory skills which are very acute in teens and young people. I am talking about the ability for teens to discern and reason on the level of adults and to understand long-term cause and effect consequences.
As your fine ( Dr. Jay Gied) has already reported, "the adolescent brain, while fully grown in size, is still a long way from maturity."
That is the relevant point to this discussion.
The fact that young people have good cognitive and intelligence skills, have better memory than I do, have very acute visual abilities and have extraordinary potential to mature into successful and responsible adults is NOT being debated here, Jack, and has no relevance to men who prey on and rape 9 year old girls in the name of marriage and religion.

I'm really disturbed by Sam's new blog post. As always, he is articulate and challenges the conventional wisdom and I really respect his insight even when I don't entirely agree or know the specifics to be sure on certain issues. This time, however, he's not impressing me by abandoning his usual scientific and objectively rational arguments. All the questions he poses are valid but his conclusion seems based on several, IMO, mystical and ultra Christian type precepts. I did a double take to make sure Sam in fact wrote this or was it actually Jesus making his first blog entry? Here are just a few of the trillions of RANDOM questions running through my head…
Who decides what's too much money? Is there such a thing as too much money if it is acquired legally and by ethical means? Should Lady Gaga make up to 'x' amount of $ and then forced to return some of the revenue to consumers or ship it to D.C. for redistribution? How will this work? Has it ever worked anywhere? Can we confidently trust the elected officials and non-elected/appointed bureaucrats that are running the government to make these decisions? Do we need to take it on faith that they will always do the 'right thing?' Are we talking confiscation of wages by brute force? What are the penalties/punishments if a minority of citizens don't go along (our government has actually executed citizens for not paying taxes!)? Should everyone make the same amount of money regardless as to how much they work or produce? Is there an incentive for someone to keep working hard and hand over the fruits of their labor to those that don't or can't? Is collectivism a proven ideal? Where is the evidence?
Won't even the most seemingly honest public servant eventually be corrupted if they are granted unlimited power over or access to citizen's earned wages? How does Sam's concept work with what we scientifically know to be human nature at this time?
Does government, by some divine right or insight, know how best to re-distribute or spend revenues? Are they doing a good job now with the meager trillions they have at their disposal? Have the results of central planning throughout all recorded history been tabulated and the result is overwhelmingly positive? If so, Sam does not cite ANY studies or statistics. Have the THE WORST acts and atrocities EVER committed on the face of the earth been committed by governments and/or groups or individuals?
I tend to think that if a few Hollywood celebrities got together, they could actually eradicate EVERY ghetto in the U.S. If that was achieved, would that eradicate poverty and ghettos for eternity? Why can't a group of billionaires like Warren Buffet voluntarily donate money to solve all the country's problems? What's stopping them? Is it illegal at this time? Why does a law or regulation seem to always be the solution? How many laws and regulations have been scientifically proven to be effective? Does the wish to do 'good' always/sometimes result in good? Who is more responsible for raising our standard of existence- politicians or scientists?
I also believe that Sam's idea only makes sense if you believe in an afterlife and/or an almighty power who judges you and awards brownie points that wins you some sort of salvation. Should individuals be 'forced' to care and love their neighbors? Can we not legally/ethically dislike our neighbor and not want to help them and still not infringe on their rights and still be a law abiding citizen? Who will force an individual to re-prioritize his/her ideals/ethics and labor hard to help the 'common good' or bail out the debt-ridden government? Should every failed organization or enterprise be helped or bailed out? Must we all spend our limited lifespans to solve this problem? Why would any individual give up his money or property not knowing how long he will live and if financial or some sort of personal crisis might strike him the next day? Is it unethical for an individual to decide for him/herself what to 'care' about in life or must it be mandated from 'above' (god or government)??
Also, I think it's way too easy to demonize the Tea Party. Yes, there are horrible elements within it but it also contains other factions including atheist libertarians. Some of the most unlikely alliances are forming in Congress between perceived leftists like Barney Frank and Dennis Kucinich and Tea Party members. It's too easy and wrong to stereotype them as a right wing group.
I have so many questions and I don't claim to have the answers. But I could never think the answer is as simple as Sam leads us to believe. I will not take anything on faith and I feel like Sam is asking that of me.

LOS ANGELES – Even before Kirk Gibson's home run for the ages in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series, there were signs over much of that summer that something special was under way that season, signs that included Orel Hershiser's scoreless-innings streak and several unusual August walkoff wins.
"We had something really magical going here in '88," Gibson said.
That special season culminated 25 years ago today in Game 5 of the World Series, with Hershiser going the distance in a 5-2 victory over the heavily favored Oakland A's to give the Dodgers a 4-1 series win.
Many believed that same sense was there with this year's Dodgers, who saw their season end with a thud Friday night in St. Louis. At various points in the 2013 season – the week of Yasiel Puig's debut, the 42-8 midseason streak, Juan Uribe's NLDS heroics – it seemed that might truly be the case.
Before the season ended former manager Tommy Lasorda noted with confidence that the 2013 team was a "far better club than we had when we won the World Series."
But it proved untrue, in the long term, meaning it will be at least another year before a Dodgers team will get a chance to match that feat from '88.
• • •
Waking up in the middle of the night before Game 1 of the 1988 World Series, Gibson realized injuries to both legs would keep him from starting the game. So he started visualizing what he planned to do if given a chance to pinch-hit late in a game against vaunted A's closer Dennis Eckersley.
"For me, it was like Chekhov," Gibson recalled recently, referring to the Russian author who said if there's a rifle hanging on the wall in the first chapter, then it absolutely has to go off in the second or third chapter.
"You try to predetermine or create a moment in your head," Gibson said. "You're gonna walk up there, the crowd, Eckersley, the batter's box, how they're gonna be defending you, what you're gonna see, rounding the bases. ... You create these moments in your head.
"It's much the same as when you're a little kid and you played Mickey Mantle or whoever and hit a game-winning home run."
For the last 25 years, little kids in Southern California have been playing Kirk Gibson.
• • •
Six days before Gibson's legendary homer, Mike Scioscia rounded the bases after his tying longball in Game 4 of the NLCS against the New York Mets. Scioscia recalls how "weird" it felt to hear his cleats dot the infield dirt on his trot in front of a silenced Shea Stadium crowd.
Now the longtime Angels manager, Scioscia was the catcher and rock for that under-talented, overachieving Dodgers team. He remembers what Bob Costas said about the Dodgers in the World Series – that they were possibly the worst team, on paper, ever to play in the Fall Classic.
And because Lasorda stressed it oh-so-many times, Scioscia remembers what A's designated hitter Don Baylor said leading up to the World Series – that he and his teammates preferred to play the better National League team, the New York Mets.
"As far as we were concerned, the Mets were the best team in baseball," Scioscia said.
But no matter. The upstart Dodgers upset them in seven drama-filled games and moved on to the World Series, where homer-hitting Oakland was heavily favored.
• • •
The story of the home run has been told thousands of times: Gibson's last-minute hacks off an underground tee held up by batboy Mitch Poole; the omniscient scouting tip from Mel Didier about Eckersley's tendency to throw 3-2 backdoor sliders to left-handed hitters; the mid-flight brake lights so very visible on Stadium Way.

Seahawks' Tate, Rice have been key to Wilson's success
The two wide receivers have helped Seattle's rookie quarterback shine

Seattle wide receiver Golden Tate (81) stretches the ball for the goal line and scores against the Chicago Bears on Dec. 2. The Seahawks won 23-17 in overtime.
Charles Rex Arbogast / Associated Press
Seattle wide receiver Sidney Rice (18) makes a touchdown reception in overtime with Chicago safety Major Wright (21) covering him on Dec. 2. The catch gave the Seahawks a 23-17 win over the Bears.
That's what we've been seeing in the Seattle area ever since rookie quarterback Russell Wilson thrust himself into the national spotlight Sunday when he led not one, but two late-game touchdown drives to give the Seahawks a road victory over Chicago in what was the best performance to date of his impressive rookie campaign.
Wilson has suddenly been the focus of features in national publications; he sat down for a one-on-one with the NFL Network that will air this morning; and his teammates have been asked questions all week long about how great their rookie leader is performing.
And while Wilson deserves all the praise and attention he has been getting -- seriously, he's been nothing short (no pun intended) of spectacular in the season's second half -- let's shelve the Wilson hype for the length of this column. Let's take a moment and spread the praise around -- particularly to receivers Sidney Rice and Golden Tate, who along with Wilson, have played big roles in Seattle's offensive improvement.
Just as even the best receivers need a competent quarterback in order to show off their talents -- just ask Arizona's oft-frustrated Larry Fitzgerald -- a quarterback needs dynamic weapons to take full advantage of his abilities as a passer. And more and more each week, Rice and Tate have been those dynamic weapons.
The growth of Tate, and value of a healthy Rice, were apparent in Chicago when Tate caught five passes for 96 yards and the go-ahead touchdown late in regulation, and Rice had 99 yards on six catches, including the game-winner in overtime.
Some of the improvements in the passing game have had to do with the growing chemistry between Wilson and his receivers, but there was also a point earlier this season when the coaching staff realized it had to make a conscious effort to get the ball to its biggest playmakers.
Last season, Rice struggled to stay healthy in his first year with the Seahawks and Mike Williams was unable to recapture his 2010 form. So, rookie Doug Baldwin ended up leading the team in receptions and receiving yards as a slot receiver. This is no knock on Baldwin, he had one hell of a rookie year, particularly for somebody who went undrafted, but it's not a great sign for an offense when its leading receiver is, well, an undrafted rookie playing in the slot.
Which brings us back to Pete Carroll and the coaching staff deciding it was time to get the ball to Rice and Tate more often.
"What we did is we really focused in on those two guys," Carroll said. "We decided to push those guys to the front and see if we couldn't accelerate the process of the chemistry and just the continuity you sense, because those guys are uniquely different.
"That was probably one of the best decisions that we've made. Things have really turned up since then. They've done a tremendous job; they've made big plays, been consistent. It was just the commitment. They were there for it, they were ready, and they've come through in a big way."
If you want to know the impact Rice and Tate have had, there is no more telling stat than touchdowns. Each has seven touchdown receptions, which is tied for 12th in the league, three behind league leaders Rob Gronkowski and A.J. Green.
Rice and Tate are in that elite company despite playing for the team that has attempted the fewest passes in the league this season, and the only other teams with duos that can claim seven or more receiving scores each are three of the pass-happiest offenses in the NFL: New Orleans, Denver and Green Bay. And this is the first time the Seahawks have had two players with seven or more touchdown receptions in a season since 1999 when Derrick Mayes had 10 and Sean Dawkins had seven.
"The start of the season didn't go as I expected or as we expected, but as each week came, as a whole we all got better," Tate said. "We all started to learn what we do best, how to put this team in the best position to win. Every week we've gotten better and I see us getting better until the season is over, and carrying it over in to the offseason and continuing to get better."
One thing that has been particularly helpful, according to Tate, has been film study with quarterbacks and receivers in the same room. Rather than have Wilson study film on his own, and the receivers do the same, they can offer feedback to each other when it's a joint process.
"Wilson will say what he thinks. I'll say what I think. Sidney will say what he thinks," Tate said, noting that this process is different than how things were done with previous quarterback the past two years.
"We're all on the same page -- we've still got some work to do -- but we're all on the same page and moving in the right direction."
Last year, Tate and Rice would have been characterized as a disappointing duo rather than a dynamic one. Rice, whose red flag coming to Seattle was his health concerns, fought through shoulder injuries, only to have two concussions end his season. Tate, meanwhile, continued to be a maddening combination of jaw-dropping physical talent and head-scratching inconsistency.
But finally, it looks like Rice is healthy (knock on wood), Tate has started to mature as a receiver, and the Seahawks have found the right quarterback to have a dynamic passing attack. That's no small feat considering how much time, effort and money this team has spent trying find playmaking receivers. Brian Blades was the last Seahawks receiver to make a Pro Bowl, and that was in 1989, and in recent years the Seahawks have invested draft picks and big money (T.J. Houshmandzadeh, anyone?) hoping to finally find what it appears they just might have this season.
"They're playing great," offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell said of Tate and Rice. "They're really coming up big. You see some of the catches that both of them have made. ... What kind of a run after catch was that that Golden had? Just a special play to finish that catch and break all those tackles to get into the end zone."
So yes, Wilson has been special this season, but in Tate and Rice, he's had some help.

When it comes to carpet cleaning, I have noticed over the years the misuse of the word "steam" amongst the detailing industry. In fact, even in this fine publication, the topic of steam was presented in a way that might have caused confusion for those who do not understand the difference between true steam and hot water extraction.
The confusion is compounded by the practice of using the phrase "steam cleaning of carpeting and seats" in advertisements or verbal sales pitches, which is unfortunately common among detail operators. I believe that the use of the word "steam" probably bled from the carpet cleaning industry, which also sometimes incorrectly uses the word in their advertising.
Often, operators who use the term "steam cleaning" are actually referring to the use of a hot water extractor. A hot water extractor uses heated liquid water and a powerful vacuum to deep clean carpets, whereas steam cleaning involves the use of pressurized steam vapor. Yes, certainly some steam may come off of the hot water sprayed from the nozzle of an extractor, simply because the water is hot. But the fact remains that the "active ingredient" of a hot water extractor is, as its name implies, hot water. A dry vapor steam machine, on the other hand, produces only hot water mist with almost no liquid.
Back to school
First, let's get the facts on the table. Just pretend you're in high school chemistry or physics class again (but only if that is at least a partially good memory). Water, at room temperature, is in a liquid state — you can put it in a glass and pour it out. As water is heated, it will stay in a liquid state until the temperature rises to over 212 Fahrenheit degrees, at which point the water begins to boil. The bubbles coming out of boiling water are caused as the water molecules change from a liquid state to a gaseous state.
If you have ever put a pot of water on a stove, you know that as the water gets hotter, more and more steam comes off of the surface. The same thing happens when you fill up a bathtub with hot water. And, the same thing happens when you pull the spray trigger on the nozzle of a fully-warmed-up hot water extractor: Hot water comes out, along with a bit of steam. The reason an extractor is so effective is that hot water cleans a lot better than cold. The hot water breaks down soil and grime, allowing the extractor's powerful vacuum to suck it away. The hotter the water, the better the cleaning action. A good hot water extractor will be able to heat water to at least 180 degrees Fahrenheit, with some reaching temperatures well over 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
I am sorry if this discussion of the basic functioning of a hot water extractor seems condescending. Nonetheless, it is critical that this point of fact be made: It is the hot water produced by an extractor that is doing the work. Further, even though the water may be hot enough to give off a bit of steam, the steam is simply a byproduct and not the main factor in the extractor's capability.
Hot and steamy
Now, let's return to the bubbles in boiling water. If we were able to put a top on that pot of boiling water and screw it down so that it was airtight, pressure would begin to build up because water molecules take up more space as a gas than as a liquid. (You may have heard of or seen in action a pressure cooker, which is a pot that has a locking lid to keep in some of the steam. Pressure cookers cook food faster because of the high temperature produced by the entrapped steam.)
Here is where the dry vapor steam machine comes in, and I am talking about a commercial unit, not the flimsy home models you see on infomercials. The typical steam machine has a built in container called a boiler, which is a device that heats water under pressure to create steam. (Okay, back to chemistry class … )
If it is heated enough, the steam becomes "dry vapor," which, by definition, is steam with no liquid water whatsoever. Commercial steam machines have the capability to achieve boiler temperatures from 280-400 degrees F. If the cleaning power of the 200-degree hot water put out by an extractor is significantly better than that of cold water, imagine how much more effective of a cleaning agent water would be if it was 320 degree F vapor!
The steam comes out of a nozzle that can be wrapped with a clean towel. As the operator moves the nozzle back and forth across the surface to be cleaned, the steam comes through the towel, emulsifies the dirt, which then attaches itself to the towel.
And that is precisely why dry vapor steam machines are gaining in popularity among professional detailers and carwash owners who offer express services. A growing number of operators are finding that the cleaning power and versatility of true steam is making the steam machine the new "must have" piece of equipment in the shop.
Making the tough choice
Although steam is a great help, most operators will find that it is best to have both a hot water extractor and a dry vapor steam machine "on board."
A hot water extractor is the best tool for deep cleaning and rinsing of carpets, mats, and fabric seats. The hot water coming out of the extractor's nozzle head shoots deep into the material and the near-simultaneous action of the nozzle's suction attachment extracts most of the water and emulsified debris. Nonetheless, even the most powerful extractors will leave carpeting and seats noticeably damp. Thus, drying apparatus like air movers are best used following extraction to remove any leftover dampness. This can be a problem for express detailing operations because the customer is forced to drive away with damp carpets or seats.
Dry vapor steam, on the other hand, cleans only the surface of the carpets or seats, leaving only a slight dampness on the surface of the fibers, which tend to air dry in minutes. This makes the dry vapor machine an excellent choice for express detailing operations. Moreover, the full-service detailer will find steam an excellent choice for lightly-soiled carpeting and fabric.
Steam also sanitizes on contact, as most germs are killed by the high heat. This is why steam cleaning is so popular in the medical field.
But the real benefit of steam for the professional detailer is its cleaning versatility. Steam helps with:
It also helps with a myriad of other applications that are too many to discuss in this article. Not to mention that usually no chemicals are required.
A detailer's vow
Raise your right hand and repeat after me: "I, (your name), promise to never again use the word "steam," unless I am referring to the use of a dry vapor steam machine." Let's stop confusing ourselves, our customers, and our colleagues in the industry. More importantly, let's start embracing true dry vapor steam as an excellent cleaning tool for the detailing industry.

1* Oakland (10:05 ET): It's been a while since I've seen anything quite like the poor luck the A's have experienced this season. Two more one-run losses the L2 days have them at 2-15 in games decided by that margin. That's why a team that has the run differential of essentially a .500 team is currently 15 games below .500.
Meanwhile, the Yankees are coming off an impressive three-game sweep of the Royals, a series that saw them allow just four runs total. So they're back in first place in the AL East with their stock back up after previously dropping six in a row. But now they're back on the road and I think tonight is an excellent "sell high" opportunity on the Pinstripes as they start CC Sabathia, whose results no longer match his reputation. The Yanks have lost six of Sabathia's nine starts this year, including the last one where he allowed six runs in just 2 1/3 IP.
For Oakland, Kendall Graveman was outstanding his last time out when I took him against Tampa Bay & the end result was a 5-0 A's victory. He delivered six scoreless innings and allowed just three hits. Here, he benefits from the fact that the Yankees have dropped nine of 10 here at the O.co Coliseum. 1* Oakland

New leadership at DHS cracks down on overtime abuse at CBP
Wednesday - 1/29/2014, 2:28pm EST
By Lauren Larson
Federal News Radio
About 900 Homeland Security Department employees took an immediate pay cut of roughly 25 percent this week as the secretary halted the use of unforeseen administrative overtime.
DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson signed a memo Monday directing agency leaders to suspend Administratively Uncontrollable Overtime (AOU) for employees whose duties do not meet the requirements. This includes some employees working in headquarters offices, training instructors and employees who have been collecting AUO pay inappropriately, according to internal investigators.
Catherine Emerson, the DHS chief human capital officer, told the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs subcommittee on Efficiency and Effectiveness of Federal Programs and the Federal Workforce about Johnson's decision Tuesday during a hearing on the issue.
"I don't know of anybody who could sustain a 25 percent pay cut from one day to the next, and that's what just happened. We thought there was going to be an implementation time," said Brandon Judd, a border patrol agent and president of the National Border Patrol Council, which represents more than 17,000 border patrol agents. "We thought the agency was going to give these effective employees 180 days and they didn't. It was overnight."
Emerson said roughly 25,000-to-28,000 DHS employees use AUO, and most of those work for Customs and Border Protection. With investigations ongoing, she said more employees could lose their AUO.
"We have a new secretary and a new deputy secretary who inherited this situation and were briefed on it when they came in," she said. "They have taken it very seriously as we see from the memo that was put out."
Emerson said it's an interim measure while DHS, the IG and the Government Accountability Office, Office of Special Counsel, the DHS Office of General Counsel and others continue to review the situation.
Carolyn Lerner, the special counsel of OSC, said the agency received reports of overtime pay abuse from 12 whistleblowers at 12 separate locations within DHS — nine of those involved CBP.
"For years, it was the norm for employees, especially within CBP, to extend their shifts by two hours a day every day increasing their pay 25 percent," she said. "Management officials were aware of the overtime abuse and often misused it themselves."
According to regulations, AUO only may be used when an employee's hours cannot be scheduled in advance due to substantial amount of irregular work.
Lerner said in the cases OSC is looking at "AUO is used routinely nearly every day and is an entrenched part of the culture of CBP and other parts of DHS. In some cases the allegations extend to extreme misconduct many employees spend the extra overtime not working at all, they relax, surf the Internet and sometimes they are not even present in the workplace.
Subcommittee Chairman Jon Tester (D-Mont.) said he hopes the new leadership at DHS will help change that culture.
"We're under tight financial restrictions here when we're allocating money and it's being misused and we're looking at doing some things that reduce manpower in the process and this is going on, it drives me crazy," he said.
National Border Patrol Council's Judd said some border patrol officers were told that they could count on AUO as consistent pay when they were hired. He said the hiring memorandum that went out to prospective employees promised 25 percent AUO.
He said it was used as a recruitment tool as early as 16 years ago when he was hired because entry-level salaries were not commensurate to other law enforcement agencies.
Judd said AUO still is applicable today. For instance, he said agents in the field are using AUO correctly, but the overtime system needs to be modernized.
Ronald Vitiello, the deputy chief of the Border Patrol, also said the AUO system, created 50 years ago, is outdated and insufficient. He said agents increasingly conduct surveillance, intelligence and border security activity remotely.
"The work of securing the border is no longer limited to physical presence and our compensation system should reflect the current operational environment," he said.
Judd said that without AUO entry level positions at CBP still are not competitive with other law enforcement jobs. He said starting salary is generally about $10,000 less than other agencies including city and federal law enforcement agencies.
Both Judd and Vitiello say, even though it would mean a pay cut for CBP agents, they support legislation in the Senate and House that would increase manpower by 20 percent by placing 5,000 additional trained agents at the border and giving the agency flexibility in scheduling practices.
While CBP is where most of the abuses are taking place, Lerner said the problem is departmentwide. She said issuing a DHSwide directive on AUO could go a long way.
"These are terrific interim steps but the problem is there still hasn't been a directive issued to stop it. This isn't rocket science. It shouldn't be that difficult to issue a directive saying that folks who don't meet [the] criteria shouldn't be taking AUO," she said.

Altought the fear of technology is not anything new. The machines will take our jobs complaint has existed since the early industrial revolution period. They where called Luddites, workers of the textile industry of Great Britain that complained that the newly developed machines and steam power was pushing killing their jobs. They where known for rioting and breaking machinery.
Anyways there is this thing called the Luddite Fallacy. It treats the idea of Techonological Unemployment. Technological Unemployment exists altought it cannot cause and will not cause systemic unemployment. As new technologies and machines are developed certain professions, jobs and even companies are phased out and become obselete. But the main thing of technological progress is that it will ALWAYS push prices lower and lower creating aggregate demand. More people will be able to buy more products at lower costs generating more demand of products and services. With other words the more and faster you make things the more demand you generate due to falling prices and the availability of exess liquidity the more jobs you create trough products and services.
The only issue is that new jobs will require new skills and new types of workers. It is true that it is hurtfull for those who are being Phased out, but macro economically speaking it is beneficial.
The clear exemple of this is the rising quality of life in the western world since industrialization coupled with a spike in population sizes. We have more people then ever in history having higher standards of living.
If you visit places where automation is not widespread such as India, you will notice people working in labour intensive jobs for horribly low wages. Exactly because of these low wages they are unable to generate local demand (India and China) maintaing their wages low.
It is cold hearted to the individual and can be very painful for people or even communities to be phased out by technology, but macro economical speaking it has proven its benefits.
This is why whenever I hear bashing of public education or even hear the mention of home schooling I facedesk. Unless you intentionally want your offspring to struggle finding a job and don't want him to reap the benefits of advancing technology there would be nothing more important than education to prepar the next generation for a changed future.

Chanel fragrances are all I will indulge in. As a younge lady in College, I wore Chanel # 5 & Chanel #19. When Allure was introduced I loved it! Coco was & is still one of my favorites. When Allure came out w/ Allure Senual, being a lighter scent, I really love it, especially in the oil scent in the very pretty bottle. Now when Chanel # 5 came out with Chanel Eau Premire in the very pretty bottle; a lighter scent than the original Chanel #5, I Love it & where it all the time. It is light, never overpowering, lovely scent, lasts all day, is versitle for any time of day, & a night on the town. Love It!!!

Love the Save the Dates
Was very easy to personalize the save the dates. Designer emailed to let us know that the script was originally made it illegible - quick and easy change.
Beautiful colors!
I ordered "save the date" magnets for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah. We were able to choose beautiful and very specific colors to match her special day. They arrived so quickly! and are truly lovely.
So easy to customize!
I cannot say enough great things about Magnet Street. Customizing my save the date magnets was so easy. They have countless beautiful designs to choose from. My "Just One" order came in days. They give you a code to discount the price of your "Just One" order for when you do your actual order. I just received my entire order after only about a week and a half of waiting. I cannot wait to sent out my save the dates and I will use Magnet Street for my invitations. The quality, price, ease of customization, and the fast shipment really put my mind at ease as I check one more thing off my wedding to-do list.
Great Buy!
This Save the Date came out exactly the same way as it looked on the website! Absolutely love it!
Beautiful Design!
I ordered these save the dates for my peacock themed wedding! The design is gorgeous, and I love the vintage look. The colors are the default colors that came with the design, but I did change the font. The customization tool was SUPER EASY to use, and I could see exactly what the save the date was going to look like before I ordered it. The quality of the finished product is really nice. I think it looks just a teeny bit grainy, but I've found that most product printed onto a magnet has a similar look. I've only heard good things from the recipients - everyone has loved them!

The Success Center tutors are not editors and, therefore, do not proofread; we feel that doing so conflicts with our goal of developing independent writers.
