Governor declares financial emergency in Detroit
And in Michigan, Detroit would be the sixth city to come under state oversight. Pontiac, Flint, Ecorse, Allen Park and Benton Harbor already have managers, as do public school districts in Detroit, Highland Park and Muskegon Heights.
A review team first looked into Detroit's books in December 2011, but stopped short of declaring a financial emergency. A second team began to pore over the city's finances again this past December and gave Snyder a report on Feb. 19 that said the city's accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2012, would have topped $900 million if leaders in previous years had not issued bonds.
The review team also said that because of Detroit's cash deficit, the city would have had to either increase revenues or decrease expenditures - or both - by about $15 million per month for three months starting in January to "remain financially viable."
A brochure produced by the state and distributed Friday says, "Additional actions are needed to continue the reinvention of Detroit."
"An emergency financial manager can more quickly and efficiently reform the finances in the city and stop the cycle of overspending and one-time fixes. Solving the structural problems will create a strong financial foundation that will allow Detroit to survive," it reads.
Snyder's declaration is the latest in a string of negatives wound tightly around Detroit's neck in recent years.
Explicit text messages made public in 2008 and revealing the tawdry affairs and other shenanigans by the city's then-Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick led to criminal charges, jail and eventually prison time for him.
The 2010 U.S. Census revealed that Detroit - which at one time was the symbol of American progress and held great political power thanks to the auto industry - had lost a quarter-million people over the previous decade.
An undermanned and underpaid police force sometimes appears overwhelmed by the city's high violent crime rate, and the number of murders also is on the rise.
Snyder said he expects an emergency manager to get to work immediately once appointed.
"It took 50 or 60 years to get in this situation, so it doesn't turnaround overnight," Snyder told the AP. "I would hope there are more low-hanging fruit things that can be done fairly quickly to start showing there's a difference going on."

Myanmar's president appeals for economy help
Published on Sep 28, 2012 9:09 AM
NEW YORK (AFP) - Myanmar's President Thein Sein said on Thursday that a strong economy will be vital to the success of democratic reforms, as he appealed for international investment and expertise.
On his first trip to the United States (US) since taking power last year and initiating fast-moving reforms, Mr Thein Sein outlined a vision of a prosperous and pluralistic Myanmar.
However, he suggested that stability and economic growth will be needed to safeguard the political changes.
"If we are able to do that... I don't think there will be any reversal in the political system," he said, when asked whether the democratisation process was irreversible.

It is easy for governance, risk, and audit practitioners to worry about privacy and other risks to the extent that they become a negative influence on their company. Their fear can inhibit an organization from seizing the opportunities presented by what is called "Big Data."
It is true that having custody of so much information about employees, customers, potential customers, and partners — including personal information — is a responsibility that must not be taken lightly.
It is also true that misuse of that information can result in breaches of laws, regulations, and the expectations of society. The reputation risk can be significant. No organization wants to headline the news for their misuse — or failure to protect — confidential information. Just look at
Google's troubles.
But there is enormous potential to drive revenues, improve customer relationships and satisfaction, and minimize cost.
A study earlier this year had an eye-catching and perhaps over-the-top title:
"Big Data" Can Save Money and Lives Say Government IT Officials. It claimed that:
This sounds like pie in the sky: appealing but a mirage.
However, McKinsey (a major business consulting firm) agrees with the study.
In a 2011 report (which I highly recommend), they said:
We are on the cusp of a tremendous wave of innovation, productivity, and growth, as well as new modes of competition and value capture — all driven by
big data as consumers, companies, and economic sectors exploit its potential.
McKinsey's estimates of the potential eerily mirror those from this year's study:
Stories are starting to appear about how big data (strictly, the analytics of big data) is driving step change in firms' performance. Here is
one story about how a legal firm used it, a
McKinsey presentation of 16 "use cases," an article about
use cases in healthcare, and
an IBM web page with links to multiple articles explaining the value organizations are obtaining from big data analytics.
So this is not all hype — it has significant potential, although you would probably join me in being skeptical about some of the claims.
Is your organization exploring the potential? Are business leaders, including risk and assurance practitioners, doing enough and seeing the potential for risk monitoring as well as margin enhancement?
I welcome your views and commentary.

BASF SE's supervisory board will propose former Chief Executive Officer Juergen Hambrecht as chairman after the manager waited longer than the mandatory two- year cooling-off period.
BASF SE , the world's largest chemical maker, will resume dividend increases after third- quarter profit jumped by 1 billion euros ($1.39 billion) and the company raised sales and earnings outlooks for 2010.
BASF SE's supervisory board will decide on a successor to Chief Executive Officer Juergen Hambrecht in July, the Financial Times Deutschland reported, citing chairman Eggert Voscherau.
BASF SE Chief Executive Officer Juergen Hambrecht said the world economy may be poised for slower growth this year, Deutsches Anleger Fernsehen AG said.
BASF SE can escape the hangover of a post-takeover revamp with its purchase of Cognis GmbH after a decade of private-equity ownership left the German maker of cosmetics ingredients with about 3,500 fewer workers.
BASF SE , the world's largest chemicals company, agreed to buy German food- and cosmetics- ingredients maker Cognis Holding GmbH for 3.1 billion euros ($3.8 billion) to accelerate a move away from basic chemicals.
A suspension of electronic payments in Vatican City is threatening finances in the world's smallest state as pilgrims and tourists are forced to use cash in museums and shops with yearly sales of more than $100 million.
BASF SE , the world's biggest chemical company, said profit more than doubled as demand from the automotive industry expanded, spurring the company to propose a higher-than-estimated dividend.
BASF SE, the world's largest chemicals company, has reached a preliminary agreement with the owners of Cognis AG to buy the specialty chemicals maker, two people familiar with the discussions said.
"We are now profiting from the favorable economic environment because we further improved our competitiveness in the crisis and made our portfolio even more cyclically resilient."
- Juergen Hambrecht on Oct 28, 2010

Schaub recovers from interception to lead Texans
SAN FRANCISCO One early mistake did nothing to rattle Matt Schaub.
Schaub stepped back to pass on the first play of the game and threw right to 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks a few yards away. After that rare blunder, Houston's reliable quarterback was spot-on.
Schaub recovered after the early interception, leading the Texans on scoring drives in each of their next three series in a 30-7 exhibition rout of the rebuilding San Francisco 49ers on Saturday night.
"We had a lot of early mistakes and turnovers but guys bounced back and made plays," Schaub said. "I think that shows the maturity of our team that those mistakes aren't going to linger."
Troy Nolan made two interceptions for new defensive coordinator Wade Phillips, returning the first pick 73 yards for a touchdown to give the Texans 24 straight first-half points after they fell behind 7-0.
Schaub enhanced an already impressive preseason, going 16 for 24 for 180 yards and a touchdown for the unbeaten Texans (3-0). So far, Houston looks very much like an AFC contender, although the Texans had to remove 2010 NFL rushing leader Arian Foster when his troublesome hamstring began bothering him again late in the first quarter.
Coach Gary Kubiak is optimistic Foster will be ready for the opener Sept. 11 against the defending AFC South champion Indianapolis Colts.
"We don't think it's anything worse than what we were dealing with before," Kubiak said of Foster, who sat out the first preseason game.
San Francisco quarterback Alex Smith wound up 2 for 6 for 17 yards, just 4 more yards in the air than he lost in two sacks.
There weren't very many people to boo him this time.
The Candlestick Park stands were about one-third full a week after things turned violent and two men were shot in a parking lot after the 49ers beat the Bay Area rival Oakland Raiders 17-3.
NFL security chief Jeff Miller attended Saturday's game and said he's optimistic Candlestick's beefed up security and increased police presence can help prevent further incidents of violence this season.
"We all recognize what happened last week was very unsettling and something we want to change," Miller said. "Tonight what I saw in the parking areas was that the police were extremely engaged. They did a fantastic job working with the fans, trash removal, little things like that."
The 49ers got more highlights from their first-team defense than from Smith and Co.
"Obviously we took our lumps tonight," Smith said. "It was rough for all of us. We have to find a way to get something going and get right."
Brooks intercepted that first pass by Schaub and returned it 13 yards for San Francisco's lone points - and this was hardly the kind of performance new coach Jim Harbaugh hoped to see at this stage.
Houston had run 32 offensive plays to San Francisco's eight midway through the second quarter and the Texans managed 15 first downs to the 49ers' one. The overall first downs: Texans 28, 49ers 6. Total yards: Houston 417, San Francisco 105.

Panasonic India is planning to come out with environmentally friendly products that have long lifetimes and use less energy and water as part of its new green initiative in India.
Addressing presspersons here on Thursday, Daizo Ito, CEO, said the company had already launched a new range of refrigerators using compressors with "inverter technology" which can save consumption of energy substantially. The technology would be adopted soon in compressor-based products such as air-conditioners turned out by the company, Mr. Daizo Ito said. Panasonic had taken initiatives to cut CO2 emissions by 2.40 lakh tonnes from its manufacturing activities in the Asia Pacific region over three years from April 2007 to March 2010.
For spreading environmental awareness, the company has launched 'eco ideas' campaign all over India. This would educate and enable consumers to make more informed decisions on their choice of products, Mr. Daizo Ito said. The eco-friendly initiatives were kick-started in Chennai in the presence of the actor Neha Dhupia, and other officials of the Panasonic group.

Mexico is world reknown for its skillful artisans in a wide variety of fields. Mexican writer Alberto Ruy Sanchez Lacy called Mexican tile a "chosen skin". Tiles have embellished numerous public and private spaces thoughout Mexico. A glimpse anywhere in Mexico, particularly in the central states, shows the widespread use of talavera tiles decorating a broad range of spaces from kitchens, fountains, facades, interiors of luxurious hacienda homes to churches. It is through traditional artifacts, such as handcrafted tiles, that one can perceive an artisan's sensibility, and creativity. Handcrafted ceramic tile is a rooted cultural heritage in Mexico, since its practice of making it began in the late sixteen century, around 1570 and 1573. Mexican ceramic tiles have actively played a distinguished role as an important utilitarian and decorative element in Mexican architecture.
Mexican tile is functional, beautiful, and practical, it provides a long lasting wall or surface that is easy to care and maintain. You can install Mexican tiles in virtually any area you want to enjoy their warm and beauty.The tiles are made from clay dug out of the ground and fired to a temperature at which the clay undergoes chemical changes and becomes permanently hard. Then the tile is glazed and decorated by hand, and fired once again to give it its final and lively finish. Its physical characteristics make Mexican tiles particularly attractive and distinctive. Mexican tiles are concave (not perfectly flat). They are characterized as unique, irregular, functional, and expressive.
How to Order Tile Samples
|You may order samples online or by phone. Sample must be purchased and shipping charges apply. When ordering samples please keep in mind there is no guarantee tile samples will match future orders do to the handmade process.
|Due to handmade nature, tiles may vary by up to 1/4 in. Sizes are nominal, meaning that sizes vary from the actual.
|Color, Size and Design Variation
|Slight variations are expected for all Talavera Tiles. For instance, size, color and design are all likely to vary due to the hand made process. PLEASE NOTE: shades of color are seen differently on computer monitors and therefore customers should request a sample before making a final selection or purchase. Lot variation in size and color may be present from shipment to shipment. There is no guarantee that tiles ordered as add-ons will match those from the original orders.
|Tiles per Square Foot
** The following is an estimate number of tiles you will need per square foot. The amount of tiles needed per square foot varies according to tile size and shape. This is a courtesy estimate and we recommend to double check measurements and tile quantities with your tile expert installer as you may need additional pieces to account for cuts and breakage.
|Red body bisque, irregular and concave (not perfectly flat).
|Due to the sensitive nature of talavera tiles surface scratches may be prominent in dark colors. For example, Cobalt Blue. All Talavera tiles have a glossy finish.
|Crazed Effect
|Crazing effect refers to small cracks on the surface of a tile, characteristic which is inherent and may be visible before and/or after installation. However, over time this attribute may become more prominent or can be enhanced by using a contrasting colored grout.
|Tile Thickness
|All our standard 4x4 in. Talavera tiles have a 1/4 in. thickness. Larger and smaller tiles may vary in thickness accordingly.
|Suitable for all interiors of residential and commercial wall applications. Light-use flooring as accents or as a border to define an area. If used in moist areas, apply a penetrating sealer which forms an invisible barrier that is resistant to moisture and stains while allowing vapor to escape. Outdoor use is subject to climate. Talavera tiles are NOT frost proof.
|Recommended Grout Type and Width
|1/4 in. grout line suggested. Use sanded grout when doing grout lines of 1/4 in. or more; and non-sanded grout when less than 1/4 in. We recommend to seal tile before grouting and to seal grout after installation. For further advice, contact your professional tile installer.
|Installation Recommendations
|Lay out material prior to installation to properly blend and balance color. Due to size variation, we recommend to shuffle thru tile or several boxes before installation. The application of a penetrating sealer is recommended in accordance with the sealer manufacturer's instructions to further enhance the durability of the tile. Note: Always perform a sample test on an inconspicuous area, before applying the sealer on an entire tiled surface.
|Care Recommendations
|Clean with mild cleanser and damp cloth, do not use abrasive cleaners.
|How Much Extra Tile to Order
|Industry standard recommends adding on 5-10% additional tile to the tile needed to account for waste, special cuts, or other unforeseen problems. This is particularly important in complex installations. Specially with diagonal patterns.
I purchased several solid color 2x2 tiles. The colors are beautiful. As with most Mexican tiles, the sizes vary a bit, however they are easily filed with some large grit sand paper. I had to file most of them to get the sharp edges off--messy but not a great inconvenience. I do wish the color would be even along the edges. The designs I created on the risers of my stairs are eye catching and unique. The tiles were well packed for mailing. My rating should actually be 4.5 stars.
Beautiful tiles great service however if you're getting these to match other patterned Talavera tiles be warned that these are 1/8 inch larger than other patterned Talavera tiles. I had to cut every one of them.
Ordered samples last week and very pleased with quality of product and timely delivery.
Every tile was beautiful and in new shape. packaging was perfect, no breaks or chips. So glad I found you, will order again!
These tiles are beautiful. The company was so great to deal with, good packaging and prompt delivery. They even actually called me on the phone with a question about my order. Love this company and their products.
I am so happy with your business and tiles!! I received my first order two days after ordering and not one tile was broken. Thank you so much. I do need a few more to finish my job. Thank you again.
We received the tile...its beautiful. We are very pleased. We will be certain to let all our guests at our B&B know where the tile came from. Thanks again.

05.06.04 - In a bout in which he had his way throughout, IBF No. 2 contender Verno Phillips registered a sixth-round TKO over late substitute and IBF No. 15 contender, Carlos Bojorquez, to capture the vacant IBF junior middleweight title Saturday on SHOWTIME. In the co-feature undefeated Jeff Lacy retained his WBC Continental Americas/NABA and USBA super middleweight crowns when his IBF elimination bout with Vitali Tsypko ended in a no-decision after the second round. The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader aired at 9 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on West Coast) and was promoted by Gary Shaw Productions, LLC, in association with Tony Holden Productions.
Phillips (38-9-1, 20 KOs), of Troy, N.Y., did not come close to losing a round en route to winning his seventh bout in a row and the IBF crown previously owned by Winky Wright, who was stripped of the belt. Assuming total command from the outset, Phillips punished Bojorquez with both hands to the head and body and landed the harder, more effective punches. He scored the bout's lone knockdown after landing a series of blows that dropped Bojorquez in the closing seconds of the sixth round. Phillips' last defeat came two-and-a-half years ago to Kassim Ouma. The rematch of what was a terrific action fight was supposed to be Saturday on SHOWTIME, but the No. 1-ranked Ouma withdrew with an injury earlier in the week. The hard- working Phillips is a former World Boxing Organization (WBO) 154-pound champion. He captured the title by scoring a seventh-round TKO over Lupe Aquino on Oct. 30, 1993, and made three successful defenses. A seasoned boxer-puncher, who has won 12 out of his past 13 starts, Phillips owns victories over former world champions Julian Jackson, Gianfranco Rosi, Aquino and Julio Cesar Vasquez.
Bojorquez (22-5-6, 18 KOs), of Los Mochis, Mexico, gave his best and tried to be competitive, but never could find a rhythm. Mostly, he fought like a guy who accepted the opportunity to fight for a world title on five days' notice. Bojorquez, who learned of the fight last Tuesday and was on a plane to Joplin the next day, owns a victory over former three-time world champion and future Hall of Famer Pernell Whitaker.
Lacy (16-0, 1 ND, 13 KOs), of St. Petersburg, Fla., was starting to get into a groove and landed the best punch of the abbreviated bout when he connected with a right hand that rocked Tsypko (photo: Tom Casino/Showtime)in the second. But the fight was stopped by the referee, after conferring with the ringside physician, at the conclusion of the round. Lacy, who was making his ninth SHOWTIME appearance, entered the bout ranked No. 4 in the IBF. A victory would have advanced him to No. 2 and a shot with IBF No. 1 contender Syd Vanderpool for the vacant title later in the year. His promoter, Gary Shaw, indicated that he would petition the IBF to approve the matchup, with the winner to meet Tsypko. Lacy went 209-12 in the amateurs, won numerous competitions and made it to the second round of the 2000 Olympics.
Tsypko (15-0, 1 ND, 8 KOs), of Dniepropetrovsk, Ukraine, suffered a bad cut over the left eye from the unintentional headbutt. His cornermen were unable to stop the bleeding between rounds, and the southpaw fought the entire second round with blood streaming down his face. Tsypko, who was making his United States debut, showed some ability and had fought mostly on equal terms until the bout was stopped. Until Saturday, he had fought all but one of his contests in his homeland and Germany since turning pro on Oct. 16, 1999.
SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING's Steve Albert and Al Bernstein called Saturday's action from ringside with Steve Farhood serving as roving reporter. The executive producer of the SHOWTIME telecast was Jay Larkin, with David Dinkins, Jr. producing and Bob Dunphy directing.
The next SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast is Saturday, July 3. In the main event, former World Boxing Association (WBA) junior lightweight champion and current WBA No. 3/IBF No. 5 and World Boxing Council (WBC) No. 6 contender Joel Casamayor (30-2, 19 KOs) will be opposed by undefeated former North American Boxing Organization (NABO) featherweight champion Daniel Seda (20-0-1, 16 KOs). The telecast will air at 9 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on West Coast) from the American Airlines Arena in Miami, Fla.

Which arm do you start the service motion with?

I find that a need some sorta of "trigger" to activate my service motion
I can't bring both my racket arm and tossing arm in unison
It has to be one or the other
In other words I think "toss then hit" or swing then toss"
1) i initiate the service motion by tossing the ball up before my other arm brings the racket back usually it's a higher toss and my racket arm needs extra time to hit the ball
2)sometimes I initiate the service motion with my racket arm going back first then my tossing arm gets involved
my racket arm motion is smooth and I don't have a slight delay in the trophy position like in the 1st example but my toss has to perfect and not as high
Each motion has its own special rhythm and need help in deciding which motion to stick with
The #2 choice is the way to go. If the toss isn't right you can always catch it and the toss is much easier to practice than the serving motion. The Hitch in the serve in example #1 is more likely to break down under pressure.

Welcome back to Blog Wars. Last week's The Hit Man came out on top to end Dr. Death's 3 episode reign. The Hit Man will face Rated_R(ob)KO in his first defense. Again due to character restraints (if your on Blog Wars please don't make it to long) I will make 2 blogs for the lists. So vote on part 2. Here is this weeks list:

Welcome back to episode 3 of Blog Wars. First off the last match ended in a draw so Dr. Death is still the champion but knox is back since no one won and the blog is triple threat match by adding The Hit Man. Because of a character limit I have to put Dr. Death's response in another blog so vote on part 2 only.
Top 5 Tag Teams in WrestlingEach contestants will name tag teams
Welcome back for the second edition of Blog Wars. I'd like to thank everyone for the feedback on the last show. I like to be the first to congratulate Dr. Death on being the first IWC Blog Champion. But lets see if the champ can win the first title defense against Knox. And now since so many people are talking about Wrestlemania XXVIII main event between the Rock and John Cena this weeks list
Welcome to the first episode of Blog Wars. This show was inspired by Ring the Bell and I give credit to ELNIOJR for the idea that helped me make this. In the history of blogs I have seen people slam others blogs or give their own lists or suggestions to what they should use. So this is the time to prove who's lists are better with everyone's help.

This list will showcase music that wrestlers should never have made. It will be funny and awful at the same time so be warned.

This is opinionated, so if you think I forgot something put it in the comments. I am 19 so I haven't be around long but I will try to include as many as I could think of. Here are the rules: I will only use bands that made music for a superstar or superstars only (No PPV songs). Nothing from artists that only make wrestling music (Jim Johnston, Jimmy Hart, etc.) and they. Finally no songs performed
I am listing the top 6 real life fights between that happened between wrestlers. Comment on what you think of my choices and if I missed anything.

This is the second part of the draft covering the 2005 Draft. This is the draft I think really hurt Smackdown. Also I won't cover the Post draft trades since most of those stars left or just didn't matter. So here it is...
John Cena
Rob Van Dam
Kurt Angle
The Big Show
Chris Benoit
Randy Orton
Each year when the draft occurs it's like the are trying to make Smackdown look bad. Smackdown has still been better than Raw in my opinion but this last draft was bad for did seemed like a double edge knife for both brands. But, I will start by showing how the draft has tried to hinder Smackdown. Here is the 2004 Draft below.

Read Poems by
Brandy Stallard
Everybody looking in
Unconcerned with looking out
Unseen is the tornado
Whipping through the streets
Shattering glass houses
Leaving people to bleed
Destruction is the purpose
Yet they just won't look out
Won't move from its path
To busy looking in
Glass houses
Beautiful in their transparency
Blind them from the storm
Yet when it hits
Those pretty glass houses will be no more

This time it's bettors who pay price for ref's mistake
– Ben Roethlisberger became the third straight quarterback to attempt 41 passes against the Chargers and the fourth straight to do so without being intercepted. The team that led the league with 30 interceptions in 2007 has now gone 169 passes without getting one.
– A fierce flurry of snow covered the field before the game, but it was mostly melted by the end of the first quarter.
– The Chargers lost for the first time in the three games in which they led at halftime. This was just the fourth time they led after the first quarter and the second time they lost.

text: Your Food4Wealth garden is basically a natural habitat that is made up of edible plants, and you can create one more easily than you realize. As a matter of fact, it's far easier than creating a traditional vegetable garden. You won't have to dig, and you won't have to heave heavy loads. It will only take a few hours and many of the materials you require can be gathered for free.

Our online options allow businesses to connect in several different ways to the Adyen payment platform, while keeping track of conversion and benefiting from 'state of the art' risk management.
Connecting to Adyen's payment platform
Our customers can connect in three different ways:
Hosted Payment Pages
This flexible and cost-effective solution enables customized ready-to-use payment pages with all transactions routed through Adyen's server. This solution enables our clients to include over 250 local and international payment methods their customers can choose from when checking out. Merchants do not access or store payment data, resulting in lower Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance requirements and significantly lowers costs.
Direct API
Adyen's online payment platform allows businesses to use their own payment pages through direct application programming interface (API) integration. Our customers enjoy full control over the design of their payment pages and shopper data. Because payment data is routed on the client's server, there are strict PCI security audits merchants need to comply with.
Easy Encryption Solution
With the Easy Encryption solution businesses accept payments on their own payment pages while payment data is encrypted in the shoppers browser. It's the best of both worlds, since our customers keep full control over their design and shopper data (direct API), but also reduce costs in terms of PCI compliance as payment data is never actually on the client's server (HPP). In addition, Adyen customers can offer over 250 payment methods on their payment pages.

BreadTalk set to get them talking all over China
It aims to double number of outlets there as part of global expansion plan
Published on Sep 26, 2012 10:52 AM
SHANGHAI - Encouraged by the appetite of China's increasingly affluent consumers for trend-setting pastries, BreadTalk aims to double the number of bakery outlets in the world's No. 2 economy to more than 500 in the next two years.
This expansion is a key part of plans to boost its global network of stores to 1,000 by 2014, the Singapore group announced in Shanghai on Tuesday.
It also used the occasion to launch a new look and feel for its outlets and introduce new tastes for its signature buns.
From 50 novel pastries such as "claypot chicken" and tornado- shaped yam buns, to a more rustic look for its stores, BreadTalk wants to show it is not just a bread chain but a lifestyle brand.

Microwave venting
Can I Use An Externally Vented Microwave Without Venting to the outside?
Not smart. It will either have no suction if the vent is properly closed off or if not it will blow grease wherever and cause a health and fire hazard.
Most can be set up to either vent outside or recirculate. Just need to change the way the fan is installed.
Its A Good Life!
yeah, what hvac122 said. all micros can go either way. But you must rotate the blower for recirculation.

County death toll on roads over five-day holiday weekend is one
One person died on San Diego County roadways over the New Year's holiday weekend, the California Highway Patrol reported Wednesday.
CHP officers arrested 86 motorists on suspicion of drunken driving in the same period, from 6 p.m. Friday to 11:59 p.m. Tuesday, according to a news release.
Statewide, 19 fatalities and 1,273 DUI arrests were made by the CHP.
The CHP investigates crashes that occur on freeways as well as roads in unincorporated areas. The number of fatal accidents were among all law enforcement agencies, the CHP said.
Last year, five fatalities occurred in the county, and the CHP made 59 DUI arrests when the New Year's weekend ran from Friday night through Sunday night. The statewide figures a year ago were 25 deaths and 1,270 DUI arrests.
