What Went Wrong with the GOP?
It is popular for politicians to talk about "reform." They talk about reforming government and keeping politicians accountable. They don't often tell you how they are going to do that, and change seems slow and hard to quantify. You don't often hear politicians talk about reforming their own party or the political process or how […]

Income Tax and National Insurance Contributions
Will you have to pay Income Tax?
Income tax is paid by everyone who works in the UK, including students if they earn over a certain amount during the tax year which runs from April to April.
Whether or not you will have to pay Income Tax depends on how much you earn and not on the number of hours you work.
Everyone can earn a certain amount of money in each tax year on which no tax has to be paid, this is called your personal allowance. If your earnings from your part-time job are below your personal allowance then you do not have to pay Income Tax. If your earnings are above your personal allowance then you will pay Income Tax on the difference. For more information please click on the link below:
Will you have to pay National Insurance Contributions?
If you want to work in the UK you have to register for a National Insurance Number and immediately start paying National Insurance Contributions, which are calculated as a percentage of your gross pay. For more information please click on the link below:

Why I'll never eBay again
Posted on June 16th, 2009 in Housekeeping | 7 Comments »
I listed my old Macbook Pro 15″ laptop for sale on eBay today. I paid my fees. I reviewed my add. I was happy for about 6 minutes, until I received a barrage of emails notifying me my account was suspended for "abuse" of their terms and conditions.
My account was locked down, leaving me unable to even log in to respond to the situation! All my bids on other items were revoked. Is this what online selling has become? If so, no thanks.

ACN alleges plan by govt to arrest Audu
•Govt: he's no threat to PDP
THERE was an allegation yesterday by the Kogi chapter of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), with the backing of the state government, was planning to arrest its governorship candidate, Prince Abubakar Audu on trumped-up charges.
It also alleged that the PDP had perfected a plan to financially induce some ACN members to sign and attach their membership cards to an affidavit of a court process or petition to indict Audu on spurious accusations.
The party said it was all in a bid to stop Audu from participating in Saturday's election being PDP's major obstacle to maintaining its grip on the state.
But the government denied the allegation, saying Audu cannot be a threat to the PDP. It said Audu would not face the law if he has no committed a crime.
Audu's media aide, Mr Sanni Onogu, had in a statement said his boss has nothing to hide, adding that the alleged plot was part of the ruling party's desperate measures to win at all cost.
Onogu said: "This latest evil plan, according to some of our members, who have rejected their offer of money and other mouth-watering promises, is to ensure that our governorship candidate is arrested and kept out of circulation during the December 3 governorship election.
"We are also aware that they plan to use their members to impersonate ACN members now that their wicked plan has been exposed."
According to the statement, the move was aimed at smearing Audu's name and casting aspersion on his character because the PDP has seen signs that Audu was matching to victory.
It said: "The PDP has seen the handwriting on the wall, that the people are rooting for Audu to come and re-enact and even surpass his developmental strides when he was governor of between 1999 and 2003.
"For the avoidance of doubt, we want Kogites and all Nigerians to know that this plot is being hatched by the PDP in collaboration with the state government in their desperation to win the forthcoming governorship election by hook or crook.
"We are happy that our members and supporters who have seen in Audu, the desired change Kogi earnestly yearns for, have been courageous enough to speak up."
The party urged the police, the State Security Service (SSS) and other security agencies to disregard "all the lies the PDP is presently concocting in the interest of peace and security in the state before, during and after the elections."
ACN urged the PDP to discard what it called a gate-crashing mentality and let the electorate decide who will govern them.
"This backdoor approach underscores the fact that they are already paranoid about their pending defeat.
"We also use this medium to warn all our members and ACN supporters to be vigilant and not allow the agents of the PDP and any other person to use them for sinister purposes inimical to their advantage and the overall progress of our state.
"We make bold to say that our hands are clean because we know that those who come to equity must come with clean hands.
"Prince Audu hereby assures all the good people of Kogi state and his teaming supporters that he is committed to all his electioneering promises and would not be deterred by any spurious allegation the PDP and the state government may be cooking up at this time."
Reacting through the Director-General, Media and Strategy Bureau, Government House, Lokoja, Mr Faruk Adejoh-Audu, denied any plan to arrest Audu on false charges.
He said the ACN candidate will only be arrested if he has committed a felony, just like any other citizen of the state.
Adejoh-Audu said: "Why would anybody arrest Audu? Has he committed an offence? The truth of the matter is nobody is going to arrest Audu. The only reason to keep anyone out of circulation is if the person constitutes a danger to your interest.
"Yes, Audu definitely constitutes a danger to the society because of his very violent tendencies and bestial nature, but he has no electoral value. The man has no electoral value whatsoever.
"This has been proven repeatedly in 2003, 2007, 2008 and April 2011. Every political party he has ever led has always been thrashed, at all times winning less than 20 per cent of the votes.
"So, Audu does not constitute any threat to anybody's electoral interest."
So the question of arresting him on trumped-up charges to keep him out of circulation does not arise at all.
"We know the plans of ACN and their preparation for violence. I can assure you that we will contain them and defeat Audu just like we have always done, unless they are planning to use weapons that we don't know yet.
"Nobody is going to arrest Audu except he kills somebody, commits felony, burns down a house or kidnaps somebody. If he does such, government must arrest him, because we are a country of laws. We operate under the rule of law.
"Audu is doomed to defeat, and that defeat will come on Saturday."

Public Affairs
The U.S. Census Bureau today submitted to Congress its proposed recovery plan to create jobs, strengthen the economy and conduct a successful 2010 Census. Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the Census Bureau was provided $1 billion.
"The Census Bureau's proposed investments will improve our ability to conduct an accurate census and will create thousands of good-paying jobs," U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke said. "A successful census is critical for ensuring that communities have proper representation and the resources needed for health care, law enforcement and education."
Under the proposal, the Census Bureau will invest $250 million in partnership and outreach efforts to minority communities and hard-to-reach populations. This effort is intended to promote participation in the census, which will improve accuracy and facilitate enumeration operations in 2010.
The remaining $750 million will be committed to support early 2010 Census operations that will reduce operational and programmatic risks at a critical stage of the census process.
More than $435 billion in federal funds are distributed every year based on census results. This funding supports vital local services like health care, schools, law enforcement, transportation and social services.
The Coverage Follow-Up program provides telephone interviewers to contact households that may have erred on the census form by indicating the wrong number of people living in their household. The recovery act investment will allow for the hiring of additional temporary telephone interviewers who will work from commercial call centers. The Recovery Act funding will complement Coverage Follow-Up funding that will be included in the President's 2010 Budget.
Enhancing the 2010 partnership program will increase partnerships in hard-to-count communities and expand efforts to reduce historical undercounts of communities least likely to be counted. The partnership program relies on trusted local voices to raise awareness of and trust in the census process. These funds will finance the hiring of additional partnership staff. The regional staff will be hired by July 2009 and conclude their work during the summer of 2010.
Public outreach will help to raise awareness of and educate residents about the 2010 Census and the importance of their response. A major focus of the increased outreach will be in areas that have historically lower than average initial response rates. This funding will support local and national outreach initiatives and also will support various partnerships and the Census in Schools program.
The Group Quarters (GQ) operation supports efforts to access and count residents in dormitories, prisons, nursing homes and other group living situations. These operations include an early validation of the bureau's list of group quarters, an advance visit to prepare GQ facilities for census day and finally enumeration of all group quarters.
The Group Quarters (GQ) operation supports efforts to access and count residents in dormitories, prisons, nursing homes and other group living situations. These operations include an early validation of the bureau's list of group quarters, an advance visit to prepare GQ facilities for census day and finally enumeration of all group quarters. During the operation, enumerators canvass the blocks in their assignment areas, update the address list and Census maps, determine if the housing unit is a duplicate or does not exist and needs to be deleted, and delivers addressed census questionnaires to each unit. All housing units in U/L areas for which census does not receive a completed questionnaire by mail must be visited during Non-Response Follow-Up (NRFU).
The Update/Enumerate (U/E) operation is a method of data collection conducted in communities where many housing units may not have house number and street name mailing addresses. This method will be used on American Indian reservations, colonias (usually rural Spanish-speaking communities) and resort areas with high concentrations of seasonally vacant living quarters. The U/E enumerators canvass assignment areas to update residential addresses, including adding living quarters that were not included on the address listing pages, update Census Bureau maps and complete a questionnaire for each housing unit during the same visit.
The Local Census Office (LCO) Staffing Operation supports the major 2010 Census field operations. The LCO Staffing Operation recruits, hires and releases office and field staff; performs supervisory and non-supervisory functions for office activities and field operations; distributes training and procedural manuals for office staff; and trains employees and office staff for the field operations performed at the LCO. The LCO also manages and troubleshoots field and office automation systems and problems and incorporates Quality Assurance into all its activities.

text: (AP) -- The National Weather Service has confirmed that five tornados touched down in upstate New York during severe storms that killed four people. The worst devastation Tuesday was in the town of Smithfield, between Utica and Syracuse. Four people were killed and several homes were destroyed or damaged. Barbara Watson, the meteorologist leading the agency's survey team, says that the violent winds Tuesday were at least 100 mph and reached undetermined higher speeds to cause the damage in Smithfield. Read more here: http://www.kansascity.com/news/nation-world/article702918.html#storylink=cpy Meteorologists say twisters also touched down Tuesday evening in the hamlet of North Creek in the Adirondacks, in Lowville east of the Tug Hill Plateau, in Deerfield south of Utica and in New London, just west of Rome. Dozens of trees and power lines were knocked down in those areas as tens of thousand lost power.

Child support is an amount of money a court orders either one parent or both parents to pay every month to help pay for the care of their child or children. Child support is normally ordered after a petition for divorce is filed, and usually the non-custodial parent pays child support to the custodial parent.
Misconceptions abound regarding child support. Some noncustodial and custodial parents alike think the money is intended to help support the custodial parent. Others believe that child support should be put in a separate account to be used only for the children's direct expenses, and still others believe every penny should be accounted for on a monthly basis.

An electromechanical push to close latch has a pawl positioned for linear movement in a housing, with the pawl being biased to the outward extended position. An electric motor operates a cam to change the position of the pawl thereby retracting it into the housing. An electronic circuit board controls the operation of the electric motor under the direction of an outside control signal. The circuit board also senses the position of the pawl to stop the operation of the motor when the pawl is fully retracted. The pawl mounting can be reconfigured for the pawl to extend and thereby operate in a plurality of selectable directions.

This is a divisional application of pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/383,582, filed May 16, 2006, for an electromechanical push to close latch, and incorporates by reference the entirety of that application. This application claims priority of U.S. provisional application 60/686,036, filed May 29, 2005, for electromechanical push to close latch, and incorporates by reference the disclosure of that application.
The present invention is directed to push to close latches, and specifically a release mechanism for opening the push to close latch.
Push to close latches typically, have a tapered, ramp-ended, blade-shaped pawls or bar-shaped pawls. These pawls are spring-biased to the latched/closed position, wherein the pawl extends outwardly from the latch housing. As the pawl of a push to close latch encounters the striker, the ramping force pushes the pawl inward against the spring force until the pawl clears the striker, wherein after the spring then forces the pawl to its extended position and the latch becomes latched.
A lock plug with a pivoting blade striker can be incorporated to provide both the striker and a key lock function, wherein the push to close latch is in a separate housing. When a passive striker is used, a retraction knob may be incorporated into the pawl housing to retract the pawl against its outwardly biasing spring. A lock plug can be used instead of the retraction knob, wherein as the key turns the plug a linkage retracts the pawl into the housing.
Alternately, paddles have been used instead of knobs or lock plugs to activate the pawl to retract it against the force of its biasing spring and into the housing.
With the advent of more security systems, it has become desirable to utilize push to close latches, which are thereby locked when latched. With such security push to close latches it has also become desirable to active, i.e., to operate the latch remotely. Such remotely operated, push to close latches are electrically operated, and therefore are electromechanical devices. The remote activation can be by the operation of an electric signal button operated by a guard or a security officer, or by an electric signal button operated by a resident of an apartment in an apartment building, or by a signal generated by a code entry pad or swipe card reader. The electric signal causes the pawl to be retracted so that the door may be opened.
Typically, the activation device at the latch is an electromagnet or a solenoid. When the electric current flows, the pawl is retracted into the housing and the door can open. When the electric current stops the biasing spring forces the pawl to the extended position.
These electrically operated, prior electromechanical push to close latches have developed problems because of wear and erratic operation, and because of the timing and length of the electric activation signal when the button operator is out of sight of the door and the latch being operated. As an example, if the door is pulled prior to the pawl being retracted, the pawl can bind and the solenoid activator is unable to retract the pawl. Various installations limit the size of the latch housing and therefore the capacity and strength of electromagnetic activator or the solenoid.
What is desired is a latch which is smoothly operating and which has a controlled operation for pawl movement.
What is further desired is a latch which is easily reconfigured for a plurality of different installations.
An object of the present invention is to provide an electromechanical push to close latch which is remotely operated under the direction of an input control signal. The latch has a spring loaded (biased) linear retracting pawl. When not being commanded to retract, the pawl is spring biased to its normally extended position. From the extended position, the pawl is free to retract, into a housing, when sufficient force is applied to overcome the spring biasing. The pawl, which is blade or bar shaped, has a tapered or ramped end, which acts against a striker to move the pawl against the spring force. Thus the latch is used as a push to close latch.
An electric DC motor is coupled through a gearbox to rotate a cam which is connected to retract the pawl into the pawl housing when a control signal is sent to the motor. The pawl can be maintained in the retracted position without power being further applied to the motor, when the motor is stopped as the pawl is sensed to be in the appropriate position.
This push to close latch may be operated against various keepers to provide for different latching functionality. When operated against a fixed keeper or enclosure undercut, a simple mechanical push to close and thereby "latch" function is implemented. When operated against a rotateable flange on a lock plug, the mechanical override function of the key lock is provided.
The latch has a multi-sectional housing which contains the motor, a circuit board connected to control the motor operation and to sense the pawl position, a gear box which couples the motor to a cam, and a cam which is mounted to move the pawl in a linear motion. The pawl and its biasing spring are mounted in a separable housing section. The pawl housing can be mounted with the pawl extending and operating in any of three directions with respect to the motor and gearbox portion of the housing. These three positions have the pawl extending longitudinally from an end of the housing, or transversely to the right or to the left.
The output gear of the gearbox has associated with it a ribbed or toothed hub. The cam snaps onto that hub and is driven, i.e., rotated. The cam engages an opening or pocket in the pawl. When the output gear rotates, the hub rotates the cam to drive the pawl in a reciprocating linear motion. When the pawl housing orientation is changed from longitudinal to transversely to the right or to the left, the cam is removed from the hub and reoriented consistent with the reorientation of the pawl.
A small electric DC motor provides the power to operate the latch. The gearbox provides a gear reduction system to reduce the rotational speed of the motor from about 8000 rpm to about 60 rpm and multiplies the torque available from the motor to operate the latch. An electronic circuit board monitors the position of the output gear and thereby the position of the cam, and ultimately the position of the pawl. This circuit board provides power to the motor which controls the pawl position, i.e., the status of the latch.
The circuit board also includes a dual position sensor to provide a feedback signal to a controller circuit to confirm one or two positions of the latch. The latch has two operating positions, these being the pawl fully extended position and the pawl fully retracted position. The two positions are defined and sensed by two different size holes in the output gear. Two sensors on the circuit boar monitor for the presence of a hole and determine if it is the larger hole or the smaller hole. One of the sensors is used as an endpoint sensor to stop the motor in either position. The other sensor is used as a position sensor to detect if the gear and thereby the pawl is in position "1" or "2". The position sensor will only detect the larger of the two holes and thus can distinguish between position 1 and 2. With the output gear in position 1, the pawl is and/or can be fully extended under the force of its biasing spring, and only the endpoint sensor is detecting a hole (the small hole). With the output gear in position 2, the pawl is in the retracted position and both the endpoint sensor and the position sensor are detecting a hole (the larger hole).
When a signal is received for the latch to change positions, the electrical circuits are delayed to initially ignore a start hole and after the short delay period begin to sense for the new end point and position.
The sensing circuit may be altered to provide the same functions. As an example, there need be only one hole in the output spur gear and the sensors can be positioned 180 degrees apart. The present design uses infrared light and infrared sensors. Alternatively, Hall-effect sensors can be used, or other types of sensors suitable to the size and power application. If position feedback is not required, only one position sensor need be used.
The gearbox output spur gear and the cam are two separate parts that are configured in different keyed positions to one another as a function of the pawl housing orientation. When for size considerations, it is desirable to have the output gear and cam as one molded integrated part, three different output gears would be needed for the change over between different pawl housing orientations.
The concept of this invention of a gear driven, cam operated, push to close pawl latch is equally applicable to smaller sized latches which require less power and larger sized latches which require more power.
The layout of the gearbox relative to the cam/pawl can be altered to accommodate different mounting and space constraints. The number of gears in the gearbox will depend upon the motor selected, the motor speed, and the torque increase needed to successfully control the pawl position under actual operating conditions and wear
In some instances, it could be desirable to have a non-reconfigureable pawl housing.
The features, advantage and operation of the present invention will become readily apparent and further understood from a reading of the following detailed description with the accompanying drawings, in which like numerals refer to like elements, and in which:
The present invention is an electromechanical, gear driven, cam operated, push to close pawl latch, having a pawl housing portion which is reconfigurable with respect to the main portion of the housing for selectively changing pawl orientation. A DC electric motor drives the gears under the control of a circuit board which includes pawl/cam position sensors and provides a feedback signal to a motor controller circuit on the board. The motor controller circuit is implemented with a microprocessor circuit which is capable of controlling the motor for selectively positioning a pawl drive cam in either of two positions, which thereby selectively permits the pawl to be retracted or released to extend under a spring biasing force. The spring force is insufficient to overcome the inertial of the motor and gears, so that the pawl may remain retracted with no power to the motor. The microprocessor receives input signals through a circuit board connector.
The push to close latch 41,
The latch 41 can be installed on cabinets, entrance doors or cases. In
With the pawl is freed,
With the pawl electromechanically retracted, the door of the cabinet is free to open,
The latch 41 is shown in an exploded view in
A small DC electric motor 69 mounts above the circuit board 59. This motor 69 is controlled to rotate in one direction by control signals from the microprocessor 63.
The output shaft of the motor 69 has a pinion gear 71 which engages a gearbox of 5 reduction gears, 73, 75, 77, 79, 81. The first four of these gears (73, 75,77, 79) are mounted on three gear spindles 83 which mount into individual bosses 85 in the housing base 45 and extend upwardly to the motor and gearbox encasement 45 which encases the motor 69, circuit board 59 and the first four gears 73, 75, 77, 79. The fourth gear 79 and the fifth gear 81 are mounted in the housing base 43 below the circuit board.
The fifth gear 81, being the output gear rides on a bushing 87 which mounts on a boss 89 in the housing base 43. The output gear 81 has a central upward projecting hub 91 with four quadrant vertically extending ribs 93. These ribs 93 extend radially outward from the center of the hub 91. This hub 91 can alternately carry a plurality of splines.
A cam 95 mounts on the hub 91 of the output gear 81 to engage a pocket in the paw 49. The pawl operates linearly in the interior 97 of the housing 47 and is biased to the extended outward position by a compression spring 99. The pawl housing is held to the housing base 43 with four screws (not shown). The motor gearbox encasement has four closed walls as the output gear 81 and the fourth gear 79 operate below the circuit board 59 and within the confines of the side walls of the housing base 43.
The pawl housing 47 and thereby the pawl 49 situated within said pawl housing 47, may be mounted on the housing base 43 in one of three positions as shown in
The external features of the latch 41 are readily seen from

The circuit board 59 is shaped to seat down within the side walls of the housing base 43 and carries various holes for the gear spindles 83, for the mounting bushing 87 for the output gear 81, and for the pinion 111 extending downward from the third gear 77.
The motor 69 is shown in a perspective view in
The pawl 49 is seen in various views in
When the cam 95 is rotated, the cam plug 105 operates against the straight wall 131 of the cam cavity 127 to retract the pawl 49 into thee housing 47 against the spring force. The curved wall 129 provide a clearance for the cam plug 105 to rotate without operating against the pawl.
When in operation, the microprocessor 63 receives an open command from the desperate signal device, such as the code entry pad, swipe card reader, a lock key plug. This signal enters the circuit board 59 at the connector 61. The microprocessor then controls the operation of the motor 69 to cause the cam to rotate 180 degrees to fully retract the pawl 49 into the housing 47. When the cam 95 reaches the 180 degree position, the sensors 65, 67 sense that position and feed a signal to the microprocessor which stops the rotation of the cam 95. After a predetermined period of time, e.g., a time sufficient for the cabinet 51 door to be opened, the microprocessor again causes the motor to operate to cause the cam to rotate 180 degrees to its initial position.
This is the cam inoperative position. When the cam is in this position, the latch can remain locked, if the door of the cabinet was not timely opened, or the latch is returned to a mechanically-operated push (slam) to close operation, under the influence of its biasing spring 99.
Many changes can be made in the above-described invention without departing from the intent and scope thereof. It is therefore intended that the above description be read in the illustrative sense and not in the limiting sense. Substitutions and changes can be made while still being within the scope and intent of the invention and of the appended claims.

Long road to recovery after a hospital stay.
But, in fact, both patient and their partner or family should be aware that this is only the start. A large part of the recovery begins at home.
"Remember if you have been admitted to hospital you have gone through quite an experience," warns Dr Catti Moss, from the Patient Partnership Group of the Royal College of GPs.
"You may have lost blood, you may have had an anaesthetic or been given drugs you are not used too, you may have lost weight and your body may be adjusting after an operation.
"You will have been kept in bed and in a very much slower environment than the world outside hospital.
So don't be surprised at how much you are affected when you return home."
She advises: "Physical activity is very important on the road to recovery, but take it steady.
"For the hospital to release you to go home, you only need to be able to get out of bed yourself and walk up and down the ward. So when you get home you may find you are unable to be as active as you might like, at first.
"However you can build this up very easily with a steady plan of gentle mobilisation, doing what is comfortable and gradually increasing it.
"Go for a walk, daily, and don't worry if at first you can only make the garden gate. Just go until you begin to feel tired, take a rest and then walk back - taking little rests on the way if you feel you need to.
"Listen to what your body is telling you. Try and make sure that if there's an uphill part of your walk, you do that bit on the way back.
"A daily walk is an important part of recovery, whether you have had a knee operation or a gall bladder removed, and is a way of exercising safely."

ACCESS and OKI ACCESS Technologies Announce Full Scale VoIP Solution for iPhone, Android(TM) and Windows Mobile(R) OS
TOKYO, May 27 /PRNewswire/ — ACCESS CO., LTD. a global provider of advanced software technologies to the mobile, beyond-PC and digital TV markets, and OKI ACCESS Technologies Co., Ltd. (OAT), today announced NetFront(TM) IP-Phone, a full scale VoIP solution with 3G and Wi-Fi air interfaces designed to support all three major smartphone operating systems: iPhone, Android(TM) and Windows Mobile®. Jointly developed by ACCESS and OAT, NetFront IP-Phone is designed for commercial use by operators, Internet Service Providers (ISPs?and Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs). The solution will be available from ACCESS worldwide as of June 2010.
As wireless broadband services and the number of smartphone subscribers continue to grow, VoIP for smartphones has been gaining attention globally both among end users and service providers as an essential part of next generation communications. With the introduction of 3.9G mobile technology and its ability to deliver higher quality voice services, VoIP services will accelerate rapidly. According to market research firm In-Stat, by the end of 2013, the total number of mobile VoIP users worldwide is expected to reach 288 million. In-Stat expects mobile VoIP applications to generate annual revenues of $35.2 billion.1
NetFront IP-Phone, which supports air interfaces for 3G and wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) connections and major global standards, provides a standard middleware application as well as an implementation solution service. NetFront IP-Phone is able to communicate with a variety of IP telephony servers, making it possible for ISPs and MVNOs to offer high-quality VoIP services to smartphone users while substantially reducing development time and costs.
The NetFront IP-Phone interface is compliant with 3GPP?Third Generation Partnership Project?, OMA?Open Mobile Alliance? and IETF?Internet Engineering Task Force? industry standards.

1. Maya (siren)
Your reasons are pretty bad and you've hardly even played with the characters. This is my opinion:
Sal - 2 guns are better than 1
Gaige - Anarchy!!!
Krieg - Closest thing this game has to BL1 Brick
Axton = Maya - Sit back and let your action skill do the heavy lifting
Zer0 - Fun but frustrating
Badass Rank: 10
Krieg: 9/10
I can charge into a mob of enemies and not go down on UVHM? Yay!
Salvador: 7.5/10
Can do absolutely massive amounts of damage and rarely have to buy ammo, but I find that it difficult to stay out of FFYF with him, even when using a Rubi/Grog. Although that could be because the shield I have for him sucks and my shots often missing their target
Gaige: 6/10
Pretty "Meh". I can understand some of the hatred towards her while I can't understand the rest. It seems the go-to argument is that "She's for noobs".
Zer0: 4/10
Isn't it odd that he has a skill tree dedicated to sniping yet Maya ends up being a better sniper? I find that the only way you can do much damage with him is with melee.
Haven't played as Maya and Axton enough to rate them.
This is my personal opinion anyway.
Just wondering how your 2nd favorite character is one you haven't even played yet. o_O
Anyway... Heres my list. Based on days played.
1. Zero- 13 days- cuz he da best
2. Maya- 12 days- cuz she 2nd best
3. Axton- 10 days- cuz he 3rd best
4. Sal- 7
5. Krieg- 5
6. Gaige- 3- cuz she da worst
Spiral Out...
Dreadsword101 posted...
Between One Shot One Kill, Rising Shot, & Two Fang, Zero can gunsling with the best of them my friend. The best thing about him is you can use melee AND guns in the same build. I really don't know why everyone thinks its one or the other.
Spiral Out...
^^^ just by reading the gearbox forums, it's because people either play zero as melee or sniper and from the videos I seen and articles I read his melee is the most popular. Guys are dropping raid bosses not even shooting a single bullet.
As far as gaige being for noobs, it's because she has a robot that can help her and get her out of situations other characters would die in. She is the only character with an action skill that summons in a sense another player.
I liked mordy in 1 because of bloodwing, but I prefer DT because under the right situation he can stay out forever. No one else has an action skill that can always be on.
Siren 9/10
Commando 5/10
Assassin 9/10
Gunzerker 8/10
Mechromancer 8/10
Krieg Don't Have/10
I didn't like Commando as much as I liked the other characters.
Akali defines true balance. Something the other Ionians can't do.

Farmer Suicides Cast Shadow Over U.S. Agriculture
America's farmers are dying. But it's not just because they're aging. In 1978 the average age of the American farmer was 50, today it's around 58. But there's another even more troubling issue facing those who grow our food - farmers taking their own lives.
According to a new cover story in Newsweek, American male farmers have a suicide rate that is just under twice that of the general population. The issue also extends to other countries, from France to India. So why are farmers taking their own lives? And what is being done to address this problem and get help to those who need it? We spoke with Max Kutner, the author of Death on the Farm to learn more about his reporting and the issue of mental health in America's agricultural communities.

Anyways, this pregnancy @ 18 weeks I had only gained a half a pound. Not even up 1! I did puke about 8 times a day up until that point tho.... But, since the puking has stopped and I have been able to eat, I feel like my belly popped out. Some days it seems hard and large, some days softer and small. Small like I'm almost not pregnant anymore. I am not really worried because I feel my son swimming around in there often, but I just can't believe how different this pregnancy is. I'm not complaining tho, I'm sure it's obvious why lol
Anyone else have a weird thus pregnancy is do different story to share?

They have because this guy clearly knew we had played a money tourney. I've not won a set. I'm going to break down and try my hand at singles. I had been playing doubles only. I can play the 45's this year so Im going to see if I can catch someone slipping. You get two matches so I can handle the 50 bucks.

(note that this player didn't actually win the $250, only that he played in the 'tournament'.) Even though it was a pretty ridiculous rule we actually asked that our team get moved up from A1 to AA4 just to make sure there couldn't be any "gotcha" moments.
I believe that they have completely removed the "cash tournament" rule from ALTA.

|About Annals
Annals of Internal Medicine is published by the American College of Physicians on the first and third Tuesday of every month. These highlights are not intended to substitute for articles as sources of information. For a copy of an article, call 1-800-523-1546, ext. 2656, or 215-351-2656, or visit www.annals.org. Past highlights are accessible as well.
A database review of 101,832 critically ill patients in 123 hospital intensive care units (ICUs) found that the risk of dying in hospital was higher for patients who were managed by physicians who were critical care specialists than those who were not (Article, p. 801). Patients managed by critical care specialists were generally sicker and received more procedures. However, analyses that adjusted for the tendency for sicker patients to be managed by critical care specialists still showed higher mortality among patients managed by the specialists. Authors say, their "results are surprising and completely contrary to previously published findings." They call for future studies to explore the role of protocol use, procedures, drug-resistant infections and other issues involved in care for patients in hospital ICUs. Two practicing intensivists discuss the study in an accompanying editorial (Editorial, p. 877).
A review of 66 trials, most conducted by GlaxoSmithKline, involving a total of 20,966 participants with asthma found that the long-acting b-agonist (LABA) salmeterol combined with inhaled corticosteroids decreased the risk for severe exacerbations, but did not seem to alter the risk for asthma-related hospitalizations, deaths or intubations compared with inhaled corticosteroids alone. An accompanying editorial notes that this review "has helped to answer the question of safety of long-acting b-agonists when used with inhaled corticosteroids in an idealized clinical environment" presented by the early studies but does not "resolve the controversy over the safety of LABAs (with or without steroids) in an environment that more closely reflects actually clinical practice." The editorialist says salmeterol with an inhaled corticosteroid is not a first line treatment and should not be prescribed for people mild asthma or those who will not adhere to close monitoring.
(NOTE: This article and editorial are being released early online at www.annals.org. They will appear in the July 1, 2008, print edition of the journal.)
In this study of 61 male boxers (44 active, 17 retired) comprising the Turkish National Boxing Team, growth hormone and adrenocorticiotropic hormone deficiencies were higher than would be expected in a general population (Article, p. 827). Nearly half of retired boxers, the study participants with the longest boxing histories, had growth hormone deficiency. The authors suggest that chronic head trauma due to sports injury may be associated with pituitary dysfunction and decreased pituitary volume, and they suggest that retired boxers have their pituitary function evaluated.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, in an updated recommendations statement, says that physicians should screen for type 2 diabetes in asymptomatic adults with sustained blood pressure (either treated or untreated) greater than 135/80 mm Hg (Article, p. 846, Review of Evidence, p. 855). The USPSTF concludes that for adults with blood pressure of 135/80 or less, evidence of the value of screening for diabetes is lacking and the balance of benefits and harms cannot be determined.

SAN ANTONIO -- With days away from the Annual Cowboy Breakfast will the crowds turn up in the cold for a free taco?
Organizers are saying sure the crowds will still round up for the free food. It's tradition and it's the unofficial kick off to the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo.
It's taken us many many years to develop this system, said Roy Schultz.
Bill Massey says every year the Cowboy Breakfast has been in motion, he has been there.
I been to all 36 of them, he said. For Bill its not just a free taco. It's tradition, he said. It's cold, they still wanna come.
Bill's not shaking and shivering over what is expected to be projected as a morning in the 20's.
Bill recalls it snowed in 1985. You think a little white stuff kept hungry crowds away from a free meal?
We had a tremendous turnout that year at Central Park, exclaimed Bill. By 6:30 in the morning it lightly snowed and when we left it was 17 degrees.
And four years ago it was cold and rainy.
Bill says he can stand the cold, but he doesn't care for the rain.
As long as its dry and not freezing, I can put up with almost anything, said Bill.
Its easier to do when you're not standing there soaking wet, Bill said. Which we have done.
Mother Nature doesn't always get the memo, but Bill predicts the breakfast will still draw 40,000 people Friday.
At least 500 volunteers are expected crank out tacos, biscuits, bacon and eggs.
The only heat provided will be from the fired up charcoal in the grills.
While the breakfast bunch will have to bundle up like a burrito to stand the cold, Bill says just be glad it isn't being held in the Summer time.
You're glad its in January and not July, said Bill. Cause it's much easier in the cold than the heat!

Another fantastic stay!
The beach as always was a wonderful place to enjoy the sun and beautiful clear ocean water. We didn't want to go home!
The condo is located a short walk from many dining options and shops.
You really couldn't pick a better place to stay, fantastic!
Thanks Mike and Tracy we will be back next year!
Very nice rental on beautiful Marco Island
A great value!
Great condo and location!
It was quite difficult to find a condo rental for 3 nights and when we came across Mike's condo we could hardly believe our luck. We were a little skeptical as the nightly rate was more than reasonable, however when we arrived our skepticism disappeared! The condo has everything you need including everything you need for the beach. The beautiful beach is just across the road less than a 2 minute walk away. In fact you can actually see the ocean from the balcony of the condo.
We had a few minor issues which we raised with Mike and he is sorting them out. Great guy to deal with and great condo to stay at, very quiet and relaxing. We will most certainly be back and we have already recommended it to several of our friends!
Worth it!
The distance to walk over to the beach was great. We went in the evening as well for the sunsets. Shelling was amazing to say the least. A hidden gem to stay here. We will be back that is for certain!
Thanks for letting us use your little slice of heaven.
Sincerely, Mike, Kare and Linsey
Activity and Interests
Golf, Fishing, Jet skiing, Parasailing, Bike riding and Shelling.
Enjoy both fine/casual dining at over 80 restaurants on the island.
