I do like the 4:3..ever since you posed those 8" resistive ones way back when.. perfect reading form factor!
bluetooth is overrated...but handy for wireless mouse/keyboard combo... thats about it.. i can live without it...
I think that you'll be surprised by the form factor of the 8" tablet.
At this price, almost worth it to buy it and see.
eBay pricing for similar 8" tablets is $150+, even for used.
MK808 is good, imo.
MK808b if you need bluetooth.
If you can find an iMito MX2 for less than the MK808's, get it instead.
iMitio MX1 is early identical, but MX2 is preferred.

Surprising to see a Chinese tablet under SD Popular Deals.
I actually have an F9X which I reviewed here [youtube.com]. The retina display is the same LG panel used in iPad 3 and 4. While I'm in love with my F9X I recently returned mine for exchange due to 4 dead pixels. If you're not into cheap retina you might as well just get a refurb Nexus 7 for $189.
Also, RK3188 retinas (the newER generation, significantly better than the A31) are already on presell and the earliest release is 4 days from now.
Good review on xda:
Thanks for the post, here are your first 4 rep points after 7 years.
I'll add the review to the Wiki.
Sorry for the noob question. Do I have to root to use the apps at Play Store? Can I just use it a simple reader for ebooks? I noticed it's Android Jelly Bean operating system. Just want to double check.
Can anyone comment on the display under the sun since I need to take it outdoor a lot. Thanks.

excellent! really thanks for that. Do you also have any seller recommendation?
1. No. (No root need to use Google Play Store apps)
2. Yes. (You can just use it as a simple e-reader. Check the video, the person uses it for Amazon Kindle books and also for eComics)
3. Yes, Android 4.1 JellyBean - the base build. Nothing funky has been added or taken away, this is nearly identical to how Google released it to the development community.
Even then, you might get one a little iffy (I think this happened on one deal from forever ago), but you save yourself the headache of trying four different versions from every eBay and Amazon style you think might work.
Besides, it ships free, so might as well throw in whatever else you need.
See the link in my signature and go with anything on that list you feel comfortable with.

Interesting...while $100 is almost 'just get it for the heck of it' money...I can't help but think perhaps it's smarter to hold out for a Nexus 7 refurb? I'm sure there would be more replacement parts/accessories available for that. Thanks for posting this though, something to consider at an insanely low price.

ISBN 10: 0691142971. See all ISBN's
Publisher: Princeton University Press
This is an eTextbook Learn More
France's New Deal is an in-depth and important look at the remaking of the French state after World War II, a time when the nation was endowed with brand-new institutions for managing its economy and culture. Yet, as Philip Nord reveals, the significant process of state rebuilding did not begin at the Liberation. Rather, it got started earlier, in the waning years of the Third Republic and under the Vichy regime. Tracking the nation's evolution from the 1930s through the postwar years, Nord describes how a variety of political actors--socialists, Christian democrats, technocrats, and Gaullists--had a hand in the construction of modern France.
Nord examines the French development of economic planning and a cradle-to-grave social security system; and he explores the nationalization of radio, the creation of a national cinema, and the funding of regional theaters. Nord shows that many of the policymakers of the Liberation era had also served under the Vichy regime, and that a number of postwar institutions and policies were actually holdovers from the Vichy era--minus the authoritarianism and racism of those years. From this perspective, the French state after the war was neither entirely new nor purely social-democratic in inspiration. The state's complex political pedigree appealed to a range of constituencies and made possible the building of a wide base of support that remained in place for decades to come.
A nuanced perspective on the French state's postwar origins, France's New Deal chronicles how one modern nation came into being.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling GZip on my Windows desktop to resolve this issue.
When I try and use GZip, I am presented with an error that 'No such file or directory' can be found. The files that I am trying to work with are listed in the error messages.
Using the DOS prompt, if I 'ls' the folder that I am in, I can clearly see the files that I'm attempting to work with. There is no question that they are there.
If I take this exact folder and all of its contents and transfer it to my laptop, I can use GZip without fail.
The two have the same build of Windows (32-bit).
What would cause this? Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Mumbai: Amid reports that high steel prices are eating into profits margins of vehicle makers, Bajaj Auto chairman Rahul Bajaj said he preferred market forces to the government to determine prices of the alloy.
"I don't want government intervention even though I [Bajaj Auto] consume steel ... I don't want Mr. Ram Vilas Paswan or Mr. Chidamabaram to determine steel prices," Mr. Bajaj told journalists on the sidelines of a programme here.
Steel prices have risen up to 49 per cent in the last 12 months and have been a major cause for pushing inflation to over 7 per cent.
On alleged cartelisation among steel producers, he said: "I don't have any proof of cartelisation. However, market forces will determine prices till there is a shortage."
Mr. Bajaj, a Rajya Sabha member, admitted that high prices of steel and aluminium had "solidly impacted" the auto industry. — PTI

Re: $3000/mo cruising budget
I love hearing about and learning from the experiences of guys who are out there doing it. For those of you posting real experience, do not think for a minute that I am critical of some detail or opinion. That pales in comparison, same thing with the quibbling. Its usually a misunderstanding. Know that I ( and I am sure many others) truly appreciate the sharing of information.
I have been to key west many times by land and I like it but my wife usualy has a melt down after a day or two because of all the tourist traffic and drunks. So we end up back at Lorelei in Islamorada. I think if we were on a boat she would get enough time for decompression. we could stay on the hook once in a while but I am thinking a marina slip would be best for her.
We will have somewhere between 3 - 4 k/ month to spend when we go. We will have to spend less then $100k for the boat. Probably closer to $50k. Cash. Depends on if we sell the house back here or keep it.
We will have free health insurance. With the boat paid for and $3k +/ month budget will I have to avoid and worry about such attractive tourist traps? If I have to get too stressed out about the money it won't be worth it.

What is the Cyclocopter ?
The cyclocopter is a new VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) air vehicle that employs a unique propulsion system of cycloidal blade system to generate the propulsion and lift for a VTOL maneuver. The rotor system consists of several blades rotating about a horizontal axis that is perpendicular to the direction of normal flight. Picture on the right is a prototype of the cyclocopter and picture on the right below shows a typical pitch motion experienced by a blade on its rotating orbit.
Cycloidal Blade System
The rotor consists of several blades rotating
about a horizontal axis perpendicular
The cycloidal propeller offers powerful thrust levels, and a unique ability to change the direction of the thrust almost instantly.
The blade near the top and the bottom positions produces upward force with positive angle of attack but on the left and the right positions makes little forces since the blade has zero angle of attack.
The angle of the individual blades to the tangent of the circle of the blade's path is varied by a pitch control mechanism so designed that the periodic oscillation of the blades about their span axis may be changed both in amplitude and in phase angle.
Cycloidal Curves
Advance ratio is defined as the ratio of the advance velocity to the rotational velocity

Wood Street Galleries' Exhibit Takes Viewers 'Out of This World'
By Kurt Shaw, The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
Jul. 24–With solar systems you can command with the movement of your hands, vortexes opening up for your supposed time travel, and a launch pad being readied according to instructions in Klingon, the latest exhibit to hit The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust's Wood Street Galleries, Downtown, is "Out of This World."
The exhibition was inspired by Montreal-based multimedia artist and programmer Jean-Pierre Aube's "Titan and Beyond the Infinite," a two-and-a-half-minute split-screen film based on data gathered by the European Space Agency during the Huygens Probe journey to Titan, one of Saturn's moons.
In it, the screen is divided by a horizontal line of infinity, out from which emanates imagery that is based on literal transcriptions of sequential information from the historic, though brief, moment in the conquest of space.
Wood Street Galleries curator Murray Horne first saw the piece two years ago in Montreal. "It makes you feel like you are flying through space," Horne says of the film. "Basically, it took me just over two years to find artists who were doing work that was related to that theme."
For the creation of "Titan," Aube says, "I started by programming software which organizes the data and arranges them in charts. The title is a direct reference to a '2001: Space Odyssey' scene — Jupiter, and Beyond the Infinite, also known as the Stargate Sequence."
The scene was created by Douglas Trumbull, who, at the time, was a graphic artist for NASA. He adapted for cinema a technique named slit-scan. Using long exposure time along with camera movement, the technique creates the illusion of movement.
"In my video, the Huygens data are parsed in a database and then organized into graphics," Aube says. "The data, like the altitude and the speed of Huygens, or the density of the atmosphere of Titan, are analyzed by my software, creating images using the slit-scan technique."
Since 2000, Aube also has worked on capturing the sounds of the aurora borealis through the use of very low-frequency receivers. Thus, also in the gallery, visitors will find "VLF Natural Radio," a project presented as a flat-screen video work that combines related audio with an intensely colored animation of landscape representing the Northern Lights.
"VLF frequencies are almost unclouded by man-made telecommunications transmissions," Aube says. "But, as the digital and wireless technologies evolve, the use of these frequencies for communications is overriding the naturally produced waves of the Northern Lights and other climate-related signals. For example, Russian nuclear submarines and American military beacons use VLF frequencies to communicate. These man-made signals override the natural phenomena active on the low-frequency spectrum. Eventually, VLF waves will be completely drowned out by the signals of various telecommunication systems."
Also in this show, German artists Vera-Maria Glahn and Marcus Wendt present their interactive video installation, "The Orbiter." Taking possession of all senses, "The Orbiter" is a place for visitors to lie down and relax, watching the projection above them. With a small gesture, just pointing upward, the visitor can insert new stars into orbit with unique visual and musical characteristics. Thus, the dream of reaching for the stars, which is as old as mankind itself, becomes as close as your hand.
American artist Gail Wight shows photographs of smashed test tubes that, reassembled into astral-like compositions of their own, look like little solar systems. But most interesting and surprisingly humorous is Maria Antelman's compellingly unusual video called "taH pagh taHbe." In it, images of a vast, unused NASA hangar flash before the viewer's eyes. But the soundtrack is Hamlet's famous soliloquy translated into the guttural sci-fi language of Klingon from the TV series "Star Trek."
Antelman was born in Athens and studied art history in Madrid. She is the creator and publisher of "ozon" magazine, published in Athens, and has collaborated as an assistant curator at the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Athens.
Since September 2001, she has lived in San Francisco and New York City, making her disparate socio-visual piece a delightful outsider's take on American popular culture, not to mention an interesting look into American space travel: Are we cowboys seeking answers in cryogenetics, bodybuilders straddling between scientific experiments and para-psychological phenomena, or revolutionary re-enactors receiving messages from extraterrestrials and aviators searching for parallel universes?
Her interest originates in the motives, fears and desires that underlie life as we know it.

The lights are on
1. Make a good class that will work good for the type of game your playing and make sure you have the gun you want.
2. First off every time you level up with your gun and if it unlocked any attachments put that on and check challenges see how many kills you need with that attachment and get that many kills this will add 1000 gun XP and help you out a lot!
3. When ever you have the chance get any kill with the gun so if you find an AFK (Away from keyboard/controller) get a quick head shot on him.
4. Same thing as step 4 if you find someone laying down and you see him from behind don't knife him shoot him!
5. You will need about 1000 kills with a weapon to get the gold gun so if you get head shots it could turn into 800 kills.
6. Leveling up will go up FAST until you reach level 30 because you will play about 5-7 hours of gameplay to get from level 30 to 31 (this is if you get about 20-30 kills a game). To put it in a short statement its HARD!
7. Look at other challenges for the gun it will help you out so much if you do challenges.
8. Have fun with the game and trying to unlock gold guns and if you liked this guide give it a 5 star please it would help me out.
Thank you for reading.

A Tour Around Ace Frehley's Bronx
By Katherine Turman
I've been writing for the Voice for about seven years, and, honestly, when I first started pitching story ideas to then-editor Chuck Eddy, I was wild about the thought that I was gonna be published in the same paper that ran stories by Greg Tate, Jeff Chang, "Media Assassin" Harry Allen, Camden Joy, "Metal" Mike Saunders (my fave, hands down), George Smith, Gary Giddens, Kelefa Sanneh, and, yes, Robert Christgau. As far as I know, the Voice was the only publication whose music section regularly served up long-form criticism by some of the country's smartest, edgiest, and most passionate wordsmiths. Not a lot of sound-bite reviews. Not many cordial interviews with flavors of the month. Zero predictability. The emphasis wasn't on entertaining readers or spoon-feeding them information. It was on applying to popular music the same intellectual rigor and personal (but not necessarily first person-specific) perspectives regularly used by professional wonks to make sense of art/architecture, books, film, and theater. Now that the cool long-form criticism and its chief producers are gone, how will the Voice's music section distinguish itself from every other mag's? The writing is still strong, but the writing's strong everywhere. And Rolling Stone and Blender run photos of babes. And everyone knows, you can't compete with babes.
Anthony Mariani
Fort Worth, Texas
Come to think of it, why bother with remarks? This ballot is sent almost as a protest, not from the elements of fat that Christgau said marbled the list of critics a couple of years ago, but from the ornery gristle that sticks around after his departure. May the Voice and P&J both choke on it. Truth is, if the dean weren't taking part in this poll as well, I probably wouldn't have either. So he better turn up on the participating list.
Ted Cox
Chicago, Illinois
Finally, I have no doubt that people who were much closer to the whole situation will have much more trenchant comments about the dismissal of Robert Christgau from the pages of the Voice, but as somebody who started reading the Consumer Guide (in the pages of Creem!) only a year after Dylan last hit #1, it just seemed stupid and shortsighted to me.
Jim Connelly
Glendale, California
When New Times fired Christgau and Eddy from the Voice I figured that contributing to the Pazz & Jop poll would be as unpleasant as walking through a picket line, but when I read that Christgau would still be voting I concluded that contributing would be like going to Wal-Mart, an unpleasant thing that I rationalize. So hey, New Times, you should still be ashamed, but thanks at least for getting Christgau on NPR, where he's nicely bringing Lil' Jon to the middlebrow masses.
Steve Kiviat

And by god, Robert Christgau's dumping by this paper made me angry as well. For almost a quarter-century, I've come to the Voice knowing I could read someone who could and did write insightfully and passionately about Captain Beefheart and Karen Carpenter, who didn't write off hip-hop or let indie rock put a ring through his nose. Yes, he could be obtuse; yes, his political and philosophical biases could impact his writing with all-too-predicable results; yes, he stretched himself thin, and extended himself ridiculously over many barrels. But the fucker was funny, thought-provoking, committed, and smart. Which is more than I can say for that douchebag "Status Ain't Hood." I mean, come onMichael Musto's approach works for celebrity, but for popular art? You just cut your own nuts off. Now I'd rather read Rolling Stoneeven Blender!!!!if only because I know I am going to get brief but incisive commentary from a writer whose critical faculties I can trust. Hopefully, Francis Davis won't be the next to go.

Weep not for the Dean. Longer than many of you have been alive, he actually had a job. The last time I had a job, it was 1998. Since then, just gigs. My wife's the one with the job. Consequently, this freelancer has learned how to block a sweater. My pork tenderloin isn't bad either. The net giveth and the net taketh away. All my paid work in '06 was short, snappy, upbeat copy for a publication that will cease to exist as soon as portable, flexible, inexpensive screens bring online content to D.C. straphangers. The upside? With thoughtful, long-form arts journalism in full retreat, I've started reading books again. Pretty damn good, those things.

The staff were mega helpful here and the hotel is nice although a little away from the town, although thats not a massive problem as a bus runs from opposite the hotel entrance. Only snag is if you want to come back after 11pm you'll need a taxi (10 euro)

The location is very good. Close to the bus station, that give easy access to the Corfu city. Also near to the ship harbour, to the airport, and to the public beach. The rooms and the common parts of the hotel is very nice, clean and be taken care. The room is big, and has the all usual needed of facilities. The staff is so kind and are very ready to be helpfully. The breakfast is also satisfaction. It is also a swimming pool offered in summer time. I had there a very pleasant of staying. All of those that mention above, in a reasonable price.

Al Qala'a Souq for Trading and Handicraft: Bustling center for shopping for local craft
While driving in the city of Suhar in November 2003, we discovered this beautiful fort like structure. It turned out to be a center for handicrafts. On Eid day, it was closed and many tourists were seen clearly disappointed. Here an Indian family discussed amongst themselves the alternate ways to enjoy the vacations.
People told us that it is a bustling center for trading and shopping in local craft.
We saw a restaurant open and many Omanis were seated enjoying sipping Arabic liquids and smoking Sheesha (Hokka in Urdu, Hindi and Turkish). However, it was not a family oriented seen.
A look at the shops suggested that it would be a great bargain center for shopping for local handicrafts.Related to:

- Family Travel
Mutrah Souq: Souq Shopping
The Mutrah Souq in Muscat (near corniche) is one of the most popular places for souvenir shopping in Muscat, Oman. The men will ask you for a price but through my experience start extremely low. The local Khanjars made of silver make a great present but the local men demand a high price. Dont buy from the first 10 shops in the souq because they are the most expensive, go deeper into the souq and the prices generally drop by 25%. Another tip, a real Khanjar should cost around 50 RO and you can tell that it is legitimate by counting the rings on the handle of the blade (more rings means better quality).
What to buy: Special items include Khanjar as mentioned and a dishdasha(no more than 8 RO).
What to pay: Khanjar in a souq (real one cost 50 to 60 RO) and the fake ones run 15 RO.
Football jerseys cost no more than 2.5 RO
Sandals cost no more than 4 RO.
Mutrah Souq: Mutrah Souq
This is an essential to-do and shopping experience in Muscat. Very lively and quite a variety. What really makes it enjoyable is that you are not hassled like similar areas in Tunis, Marrakech or The Grand Bazaar in Istanbul.
You will also find places to eat or have coffe in the souq.
There are many winding alleys, but you can't really get lost. If you get to the other side (back entrance) of the souq, there are many nice shops which is not part of the covered souq.
One will probably not leave the souq without buying an insence burner and frankinsence (about 2 OR each).
What to buy: Frankinsence, ceramic burners, dishdasha, perfume and oils, silver jewelery, khanjars etc.
The textiles are mostly from India.
What to pay: Prices are more or less the same from shop to shop. Haggle only if you really feel you need to.
Oman, the country of frankincense
Oman has been associated with its trade in frankincense. So nearly everywhere in Oman you can buy incense, but the Dhofar Province is the place where the frankincense trees grow. So we bought our burner and different types of incense in Salalah.
Frankincense is divided into four types according to quality: Hujari, Najdi, Shasry and Sha'abi.
The criteria for quality depends on the colour and purity. The white-blue frankincense (Hujari) is the best and more expensive. The reddish variety is of lesser quality.
What to buy: A typical Omani incense burner painted in bright colours and of course the frankincense itself.
What to pay: The local burners are rather cheap.
The price of the frankincense depends on the quality you will choose.Related to:
- Arts and Culture
Ruwi Souq: Little India
Many different shops, including supermarkets, textile shops, many clothing stores, electronics etc. It reminds me of India, and most shops are also run by the Indian community. There is a great atmosphere at night, many people coming to do shopping, socializing and to eat at the many small eateries.
What to buy: Textiles, electronic goods and clothing.
What to pay: Prices are cheap, but check the quality
There are shops selling perfumes in the various souqs in Oman, including the Mutrah Souq in Muscat. The perfume in Oman is very famous and you should buy some for yourself, family and friends. There is a large variety to choose from, and it can be placed in a traditional bottle to make it look very presentable. A small bottle will cost about 5-10 Omani rials depending on which type.
Any gold shop: Cheap Gold! Cheap Gold!
What to buy: Gold is an exceptionally good buy in the Sultanate and, indeed, everywhere in the Gulf countries. Every city and town has at least one shop where you can buy the glittering yellow metal. Gold is still considered an essential part of a woman's wardrobe, so even the poorest own at least a few pieces. Designs range from the elegant to the utterly tacky, but you can always be sure that it is the real McCoy.
What to pay: They charge by weight: you pay the current London spot price for gold plus between 7 and 10% for workmanship. Bear in mind, you will find nothing lower than 18k and much of what is for sale is 22k, so the much darker yellow color may put you off if you're used to 9k or 14k. These lower qualities are illegal here.
Omani Silver
The market in Muscat has a wide range of shops. Dates, spices and silver sold together with western tat!
All hotels have small gift shops.
What to buy: You can get some lovely souvenirs made with Omani Silver. Its so beautiful. The Kanjar dagger is perhaps the most well known. I buy Bedou necklaces or little silver boxes with stones set in them.
Muttrah Souq: Muttrah Souq
Muttrah Souq is the oldest market place in the Capital Area and is located behind the Corniche of Muttrah.
What to buy: Frankincense, spices, dates and antiques jostle for the limelight with electronic products, Barbie dolls and fashion accessories.Related to:
- Budget Travel
Frankincense & its burner
Frankincense is a hard resin (comes in many grades) obtained from the bark of the Boswellia tree which only grows in southern part of Oman, Yemen and north-eastern part of Somalia. Throughout history, frankincense has been very precious and it was more valuable than gold in the past. Frankincense is famous for its nice aroma when burned with coal, and the Omanis use traditional frankincense burners (see photo) to burn it.
What to buy: Therefore, buying frankincense & its burner is a must when you are in Oman. You can obtain them for about 6-7 Omani rials.
The famous traditional pottery at Bahla
One of the things you must buy from Oman is the traditional pottery in the town of Bahla if you are there. The design is very simple and beautiful, and the price is cheap. They have lots of stuff like vases, frankincense burners, candle holders etc etc. More information & photographs are at my VT Bahla page.
Khanjar (traditional Arabic knife)
Many people in Oman still carry the Khanjar, especially in the rural areas where people are still very traditional. Khanjars are made of silver and a normal sized Khanjar will cost at least about US$100. If you cannot afford it, you can buy the minature Khanjars (also made from silver) at about US$15 each.
Dried sardine
When you are visiting the fish markets in Oman, you should buy the dried small sardines back home. What you can do is fry them and they taste very delicious when fried. One packet costs about 1 Omani rial and they can be stored for very long.
along road: pots and carpets
Driving into Oman from the UAE there is not much to buy except fruit from a few stalls, and carpets and pottery. These last need to be bargained for.
there are shops where there are villages with all basic commodities too.
What to buy: pots and carpets
What to pay: according to your bargaining skillsRelated to:
- Arts and Culture
- Road Trip
- Desert
Sterling Silver
There are many shops on the Muscat souk that sell sterling silver. Most pieces are stamped .975 OMAN, which makes for a nice souvenir. Shop around.
What to buy: Very popular are napkin rings, chains and charms, decorative boxes and my favourite a very elaborate cylinder with stand that was meant to hold verses of the Koran but can be used by to hold important papers such as marriage or birth certificates.
What to pay: I bought 10 charms with stones of various sizes and three 22 inch chains for 10OR ($26 US). I didn't spend that much time negotiating, it could be cheaper.Related to:

Senior environmental consultants are responsible for all aspects of site-specific compliance with environmental laws, rules, and regulations from state and federal agencies. These consultants provide assistance to subcontractors and other outside clients and are responsible for maintaining and developing their organization's relationships with these clients to ensure future consulting work. They provide oversight on projects for clients, ensuring that all activities meet the specific compliance requirements dictated by law; they also examine construction proposals submitted by clients for regulatory issues and make recommendations regarding changes prior to the start of construction. Senior environmental consultants also establish an environmental compliance budget and schedule for their client's project. Once ground is broken, senior environmental consultants make site visits the maintain oversight and ensure their initial compliance plans are being implemented.Read More...
Senior environmental consultants work in a variety of settings. This includes office work such as meeting with clients, researching regulatory information, analyzing and developing project plans, and setting project compliance budgets. Frequent travel is also necessary, as they must oversee the implementation of their regulatory compliance plan on site. Senior environmental consultants may be required to train site employees on regulatory issues to ensure continued compliance. Additionally, they must continually educate themselves on industry trends and regulatory changes.
Senior environmental consultants are generally required to hold a bachelor's degree in environmental science or a related field. They require substantial experience in the field, usually at least seven years, as they work independently and are responsible for training. Specific knowledge of industry regulatory matters is usually required to reach the senior consultant level.
Survey results imply that Senior Environmental Consultants put a diverse skill set to use. Most notably, skills in Technical Analysis, Technical Writing, Regulatory Compliance, and Project Management are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts in pay of 6 percent. Most people experienced in Environmental Consulting also know Environmental Compliance and Regulatory Compliance.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience seems to be a major factor in determining the incomes of Senior Environmental Consultants. Salaries for the relatively untried average out to around $58K, but survey participants with five to 10 years of experience earn a significantly higher median of $77K. For Senior Environmental Consultants, 10 to 20 years of experience on the job amounts to an average salary of $82K. Seasoned workers who boast more than two decades of relevant experience enjoy a median salary of $93K, which is substantially larger than the medians reported by folks with fewer years on their resumes.

Loans from SMART commons being checked out today are showing due 12/24/10. We are closed that day and will be closed for a week after that. Please extend loans today and the rest of the week if needed to 1/3/11. Please keep an eye on any SMART dvd loans and any other short term loans that are done so that the loan can be extended to 1/3/11. If you have any questions, please talk to a supervisor.
The lost and found cabinet has been gone through, and many patrons have been emailed about items that they may have left in the library. If anyone comes in saying that they have been emailed concerning an item in our lost and found (most of them books and notebooks) please check the box in the back cabinet that is labeled as such.
The box is just the top of a paper crate on the second shelf in the lost and found cabinet that says "These patrons have been emailed, etc, etc." The patron's name is on the front of each item on a yellow sticky-note. The patrons have been asked to pick up these items before we close for Winter Break.
Thanks for your cooperation!
To everybody working this weekend:
There is a reserve item at the basement desk for IE 5513 that will not be in MnCat this weekend, but is nonetheless available for 2-hour checkout.
The film "Fuel; Change Your Fuel... Change Your World" by Josh Tickell will be available at the basement desk for 2-hour, NO OVERNIGHT checkout. The film has no LC Call number, so it will be on top of the Circ cabinet at the basement desk (where the sensitizer/desensitizer is). It will be accompanied by a note with the same information found here. Expect students to come looking for it this weekend, the professor was very clear on this point.
Thank you so much for your cooperation!

Work will be starting soon on a project to pull older copies of journals to bring to storage. The copies that are being pulled all have on-line access. When helping at the desk, if a patron says that a call number set is not on the shelf, please check to see if the title is available electronically and refer to that. If you need help finding the on-line access for journals, please let a supervisor know.
Student staff will be hired to work on this temporary project and we may ask you, our current staff, to help with parts of it as well. The project will include pulling items from the stacks, bringing them to a room on First Floor, vacuuming the items, scanning the items and placing the items in a box. We have added a new key ring to the Basement Lock Box that has the keys for the project.
If you have any questions about the project, please talk to Mary.

I now like to introduce your host Renie Shapiro, Senior Vice President of Corporate Finance.
Renie Shapiro - Senior Vice President of Corporate Finance
Good morning and welcome to Magellan's third quarter 2008 earnings conference call. This is Rene Shapiro, Senior Vice President of Corporate Finance for Magellan Health Services. Here with me today are Magellan's President and CEO, René Lerer and our Chief Financial Officer, Jon Rubin. They will discuss the financial and operational results of our third quarter ended September 30, 2008. Also joining us is our CFO, a mayor dust Mark Demilio.
Certain of the statements that will made during this conference call are forward-looking statements contemplated under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown uncertainties and risks which could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed.
These forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by the complete discussion of risks set forth under the caption Risk Factors in Magellan's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 which was filed with the SEC on February 29, 2008, and in the Form 10-Q which will be filed with the SEC later today.
In addition, please note that in this call we refer to segment profits. Segment profits is disclosed and defined in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q and on our annual report on Form 10-K and is equal to net revenues plus cost of care and cost of goods sold, direct service cost and other operating expenses excluding stock compensation expense.
Included in the tables for our press release issued this morning and in our Form 10-Q to be filed later today is the reconciliation from segment profit to the line item income from continuing operations before incomes income taxes and minority interest. We encourage you to review such reconciliations for an understanding of how segment profit compares to that GAAP measure. Our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30 can be found later today on our web site, MagellanHealth.com under the heading Investor Info.
I will now turn the call over to our President and CEO, René Lerer.
René Lerer - President and Chief Executive Officer
Good morning, everyone and thank you for joining us today. Before we go into this quarter's results, I would like to introduce and welcome our new CFO, Jon Rubin.
Jon has been with us for just under two months now and during that time has been through a world wind orientation and is now fully engaged in his new role. I am truly delighted to have met with Jon.
Let me begin with some brief comments on the third quarter results and then Jon will provide more details on the quarter and our full year outlook, as well as provide directional commentary on 2009. In my closing remarks I will provide a strategic outlook for our business including any update on key priorities and opportunities for growth, as well as comments on the economy and regulatory environment.
I am very pleased to report that this was another excellent quarter for Magellan. As you saw in the press release issued this morning, we have produced $57.6 million of segment profit in the third quarter ending September 30, 2008, and $164.6 million of segment profit for the year-to-date period September 30, 2008. These results were driven by strong performance from our growth segments. Radiology benefits management, specialty pharma and public sector and by slightly lower earnings in the two prior quarters in our commercial behavioral business.
As we continue to achieve strong earnings growth from the acquisitions we made two years ago, we have benefited from the strength of our diversified profit streams, as earnings from radiology and specialty pharma now approach 21% of our total segment profit before corporate expenses.
NIA results reflected continued strong cost of care and administrative cost managing. Well, we are disappointed that we have not yet closed any new business. We continue to be quite bullish on our prospects. I will describe the NIA pipeline later on.
ICORE continue also to produce strong results and maintain consistent growth in the rebate consulting and distribution lines of business. As we discussed last quarter, the focus in our core distribution business is to supplement and support growth in the rebate business. Our continued success with ICORE rebate results is driven by not only our ability to add additional therapeutic classes to existing customers, but also our ability to move market share, as well as successful ongoing negotiation with pharma manufacturers on rebate contracts.
The public sector experience sustained favorable cost trends. We are please with the results in this very important sector and I will address Maricopa commentary later in my remarks.

Synonyms: flavin adenine dinucleotide oxidized, flavin adenine dinucleotide, flavitan
|a redox electron carrier
|an organic heterocyclic compound → an organic heterobicyclic compound → a pteridine → a benzopteridine → a flavin → an oxidized flavin
|an organic heterocyclic compound → an organonitrogen heterocyclic compound → a pteridine → a benzopteridine → a flavin → an oxidized flavin
Summary from MetaCyc:
Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) is an important redox cofactor involved in many reactions in metabolism. The fully oxidized form, FAD, is converted to the reduced form, FADH2 by receiving two electrons and two protons. The reduced form can be oxidized to a semireduced form (semiquinone, FADH) by donating one electron and one proton. The semiquinone is then oxidized back to the fully oxidized form by losing a second electron and proton. Even though FAD has an aromatic ring system, FADH2 does not, making it significantly higher in energy.
Many proteins contain a flavin moiety, either in the form of FAD or FMN. They are known as flavoproteins.

Surry Community College Basic Law Enforcement graduate Lance Edward Richardson recently received the Greg Martin Award and the Max Blackburn Award.
The Greg Martin award honors the memory of Sgt. Martin of the Jonesville Police Department.
Martin was a BLET graduate from SCC and killed in the line of duty. The Greg Martin Award recipient is selected by a class vote when students elect whom they would most want as a backup officer on a serious call.
Chief Roger Reece of the Jonesville Police Department said it shows that the students feel the safest with him and would be the most comfortable with him in the line of duty.
Reece said he does not know Richardson personally. Apparently though, said Reece, Richardson excelled in all he did in classroom activities and that is why they picked him as a recipient.
"For the Jonesville Police Department and the community they serve, it keeps Martin's name alive."
Reece added that he feels sure for the Martin family to have his name continued in that way and in that magnitude is an honor.
Max Blackburn established the BLET program at SCC. The Max Blackburn award honors that fact. BLET instructors vote for students who demonstrate the most positive attributes of a law enforcement officer to receive the award.

Been looking for a gooey coconut cookie for a while and this is the one. Substituted dried cranberries for the raisins and added much less cinnamon(1/2 tsp). They turned out great!
These cookies are fantastic. I replaced the raisins with chocolate chips, which I would definitely recommend. Soft and chewy and delicious!
I made these with half the amount of sugar that was called for and added some apple sauce to add the sweetness and a little moisture back into the dough. I also chopped up some dried apricots ...

I hope you're all ready for a long three days of endless Ryan Callahan rumors. As the trade deadline approaches on Wednesday, we are going to hear endless "Callahan to [insert team here]" rumors, even more "Callahan's updated demands" rumors, and some 'Glen Sather ups his offer" rumors. This time around, we have a few new rumors, courtesy of Pierre LeBrun.
LeBrun stated that both sides have moved off their initial demands. The Rangers are holding firm at six years and $36 million, while the Callahan camp has come down to six years and "south of $6.5 million." I mentioned on Twitter yesterday that the Girardi term (six years) means the Rangers are going to go to six years for Cally. There's a deal to be made here, whether or not you agree with the term or dollars.

Model name, fuel efficiency confirmed at Motor Show EDMONTON, April 17, 2013 /CNW/ - Against the back-drop of the Edmonton Motor Show, Mitsubishi Motor Sales of Canada today announced the name of its all-new hatchback as the Mitsubishi Mirage, and confirmed the anticipated 64 miles-per-gallon fuel economy for the three-cylinder, five-door car will be the best among subcompacts sold in Canada. "It's official: Canada's newest subcompact is the Mitsubishi Mirage," said Tony Laframboise, vice president, Sales & Marketing, noting the Mirage nameplate exists in other markets and is returning to North America. Rated at 4.4 L/100 km (64 mpg) in highway driving, Mirage will be Canada's most fuel efficient, gasoline-powered subcompact when it goes on sale this fall. "Mirage will lead in fuel economy, offer tremendous value for money and include a suite of safety features in a youthful, fun-to-drive small car with a starting price below $13,000," he added. Mirage's combined city/highway fuel economy will be 4.9 L/100 km (58 mpg) and, for city driving, 5.3 L/100 km (53 mpg) for CVT-equipped models. The entry-level Mirage SE with five-speed, manual transmission is rated at 5.3 L/100 km (53 mpg) in combined driving, 4.6 L/100 km (62 mpg) highway and 5.9 L/100 km (48 mpg) in city driving. Displayed in expressive Green Metallic paint, the five-passenger Mirage was officially named by Laframboise and Canada's top-selling Mitsubishi dealer, Kevin Robertson, of Edmonton's Southside Mitsubishi, during a media presentation. Based on the 'Global Small' concept car, the 1.2-litre, three-cylinder Mirage becomes the fifth model in Mitsubishi's Canadian line-up. When it arrives at MMSCAN's 84 dealerships this fall, it will follow the 2014 Outlander as the second of two major new-model launches this year. Preliminary Mirage specifications are: Length, 3,780 mm; width, 1665 mm; height, 1500 mm; wheelbase, 2450 mm; wheels/tires, 165/65R14; output, 74 hp at 6,000 rpm and 74 ft. lbs. torque at 4,000 rpm. Describing Mirage as Mitsubishi's "latest ultra-efficient vehicle" Laframboise added: "Fuel efficiency is our global focus, our company mission", noting the Mitsubishi RVR compact sport utility achieves class-leading 6.1 L/100 km and Mitsubishi Lancer is "not far behind", while the all-electric i-MiEV hatchback never requires gasoline or an oil change. Mirage is backed by the best warranty in the world - 10 years or 160,000 km limited powertrain, five years or 100,000 km limited new vehicle and five years, unlimited mileage roadside assistance. Additionally, it is designed with Mitsubishi's Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) body system. RISE combines an impact energy-absorbing front end with a high-rigidity cabin structure. The newest Mitsubishi, Mirage comes with a palette of eight body colours including Green Metallic, Dark Grey Mica, Blue Mica, Red Metallic, White, Cool Silver Metallic, Purple Metallic and Black Mica.

Table tennis: Singapore teen Clarence Chew claims 2nd major scalp
Clarence Chew topples world No. 35, two days after beating world No. 37
Published on May 3, 2014 6:58 AM
Never mind that Clarence Chew is the youngest and most inexperienced among the Singapore men's team at the World Team Table Tennis Championships.
Despite his lowly world No. 259 ranking, the 18-year-old debutant has proved over the past week that he can play the unlikely hero, in earning the Republic a place in the last eight yesterday.
The local-born paddler starred in the team's 3-1 round-of-16 win over Sweden yesterday, posting a ruthless 11-8, 11-8, 11-9 victory over world No. 35 Par Gerell, the opposing team's top player.
With world No. 14 Gao Ning earning two more points in his victories over world No. 97 Kristian Karlsson (3-2) and world No. 66 Jens Lundqvist (3-0), Singapore marched on to meet Germany in today's quarter-finals.
