The death of North Korean leader Kim Jong-il caught not only the US but also South Korea unaware. At lunchtime on Monday, South Koreans found themselves watching the same live broadcast news from North Korea's state media: Ri Chun-hee, North Korea's star newsreader, dressed in a black gown and weeping, announced the death of the "Dear Leader."
After learning of Kim Jong-il's death, South Korean President Lee Myung-bak summoned his cabinet for an emergency meeting and the Unification Ministry created a new commission to track developments up in the north. But the general message, says Jason Strother in Foreign Policy, has been to "stay calm, the situation is under control, go about your normal lives."
Indifference About Reunification Among Younger South Koreans
Many South Koreans, especially those from the younger generations, have indeed been doing so. Strother quotes 29-year-old piano instructor Choi Young Joo's response after hearing the news on the radio:
"I thought 'oh wow, he's dead,' not a big difference than before. I sent my friends a group chat message about it. They just asked me 'what are we going to do for dinner?'"
Strother cites Andrei Lankov, a North Korea analyst at Kookmin University in Seoul, regarding the younger Korean generation's lack of interest in reunification. To 20-somethings engrossed in their studies or searching for a job, Lankov says that "North Korea is increasingly seen as a distant country, an irrelevant place, a poor dictatorship whose population happens to speak the same language." He also notes that, should reunification occur, South Korea would bear most of the costs. Merging the two country's economies — North Korea's has been called "medieval" — could require as much as $203 billion.
In contrast to the indifference that Strother notes in younger South Koreans are the views of 22,000 North Korean defectors, some of whom have responded to the news of Kim Jong-il's death with disbelief. Kim Hung-kwang of North Korean Intellectual Solidarity, whose members are "former North Korean elites," says that North Korea can now either become more engaged with the international community, or become even more militarized. Intellectual Solidarity sends DVDs, USB sticks and other information about the outside world to North Korea, in the hope that doing so might foment an uprising eventually. Another group of defectors, North Korean People's Liberation Front, is made up of former soldiers from North Korea's million-man army and believes that "the only way to end the regime in Pyongyang is to take out its leadership."
South Korean Military Put On a State of Alert
The "apathy" of younger South Koreans has posed a challenge for the Unification Ministry. The two countries are technically at war and, since 1948, have been divided at the 38th parallel. After the Korean War ended in 1953, both sides agreed to move their troops back and create a 2.5-mile-wide buffer zone known as the demilitarized zone (DMZ). But some 2 million troops patrol both sides of the border; the US has 28,000 troops stationed in South Korea. In March 2010, a North Korean warship was reported to have sunk a South Korean submarine.
South Korea has put its military on a state of alert following the announcement of Kim Jong-il's death.

Photo of Panmunjeom at the DMZ by LuMag00, who comments: "Grey building in background is N. Korea. Blue building is UN. S. Korean guard outside and concrete barriers showing the dividing line in between the buildings."
A snowstorm hit as Mr Kim died and ice on the volcanic Chon lake near his reported birthplace at Mount Paektu cracked, it said.
Following the storms sudden end at dawn on Tuesday, a message carved in rock Mount Paektu, holy mountain of revolution. Kim Jong-il glowed brightly, it said. It remained there until sunset.
On the same say, a Manchurian crane also apparently adopted a posture of grief at a statue of the late leaders father in the northern city of Hamhung.
Even the crane seemed to mourn the demise of Kim Jong-il, born of Heaven, after flying down there at dead of cold night, unable to forget him, KCNA reported officials as saying.

There is something interesting going on here.
Another nutjob bites the dust.
Those who spread the conspiracy theories regarding the sunk warship conveniently ignore the NK issuance of a propaganda poster showing a ship identical to the Cheonan, being struck by an NK torpedo and intelligence reports that Kim Jong-eun helped orchestrate the incident as part of his succession. The theories that this somehow helped the ruling party are belied by the massive failure of his party in the subsequent elections, and that it somehow helped the US by the strong upsurge in mistrust of the US military and the uptick of Cheju activism.
We will have to wait to see how Kim Jong-un plans to rule North Korea. To be honest, these dictators seem to be able to pick out sons who are most likely to follow in their footsteps!
I seem to remember that investigators allegedly found a well marked piece of a North Korean torpedo. Which by some miracle survived the explosion, unscathed.
So, I just got use to saying Kim Jong Ill,
I now have to get use to saying Kim Jong Dead.
So, if Geo Bush died, would he become Geo Bushwacked. Just thinking
.What a crazy world, Kim Baby a tribute to you.
Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes, The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or villify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, I see genius. Because the ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do. ~Jack Kerouac
The sub/warship incident conveniently happened when the US was renegotiating its new lease for its base in Korea. Gulf of Tonkin all over again.
I think that the article got the last point backwards: it was a N Korean sub that sank a S Korean warship.

In the 1980s, a research team led by Parisian scientists identified several unique DNA sequences, or haplotypes, linked to sickle cell anemia in African populations. After casual observations of how patients managed this painful blood disorder, the researchers in question postulated that the Senegalese type was less severe. The Enculturated Gene traces how this genetic discourse has blotted from view the roles that Senegalese patients and doctors have played in making sickle cell "mild" in a social setting where public health priorities and economic austerity programs have forced people to improvise informal strategies of care.
Duana Fullwiley shows how geneticists, who were fixated on population differences, never investigated the various modalities of self-care that people developed in this context of biomedical scarcity, and how local doctors, confronted with dire cuts in Senegal's health sector, wittingly accepted the genetic prognosis of better-than-expected health outcomes. Unlike most genetic determinisms that highlight the absoluteness of disease, DNA haplotypes for sickle cell in Senegal did the opposite. As Fullwiley demonstrates, they allowed the condition to remain officially invisible, never to materialize as a health priority. At the same time, scientists' attribution of a less severe form of Senegalese sickle cell to isolated DNA sequences closed off other explanations of this population's measured biological success.
The Enculturated Gene reveals how the notion of an advantageous form of sickle cell in this part of West Africa has defined--and obscured--the nature of this illness in Senegal today.

Monday October 23, 2006
SAO PAULO, Brazil (AP): Fernando Alonso retained the Formula One championship when he was second to Felipe Massa on Sunday in the Brazilian Grand Prix, a race which marked the end of Michael Schumacher's mighty career.
"The important thing today was to become champion again for the second time and we did it,'' Alonso said. "Yes, it has been a fantastic weekend, especially the race.''
Schumacher, a seven-time F1 champion, needed to win his final race before retirement to keep alive his remote chance of another title. But the German punctured a tire less than 10 laps into the race, dropped out of contention, and finished fourth.
"I have been told my tire was cut but I didn't feel any contact. The only thing I really felt was my tire was done,'' Schumacher said.
Massa, Schumacher's Ferrari teammate, won the race from the pole before an adoring home crowd at the Interlagos circuit.
His second career victory was also the first by a Brazilian here since Ayrton Senna in 1993.
"I think it is a dream come true. I always dream to have this day,'' Massa said. "And I got it.
"It was the easiest race of my life since I have such an incredible car.''
Honda's Jenson Button was third.
As soon as Alonso crossed the finish line,
the Spaniard thanked his crew over the radio in French (Renault's engines are built in France) and English (the team is based in Britain). He helped Renault also clinch the constructors' title but will race for McLaren next year.
"Thank you, thank you,'' Alonso said. "Both championships again. It's been a pleasure for me. I wish you the best.''
Alonso became F1's youngest world champion at last year's Brazilian GP, and the 25-year-old continued to praise Renault, which gave him a start as a test driver in 2002.
"We grew up together and we won two consecutive championships. It will be difficult to forget the years I did with Renault.''
He said he had bad luck when he went out of two races, the Hungarian and Italian GPs, and squandered a 25-point lead in midseason.
Schumacher tied Alonso in the standings after winning the Chinese GP on Oct. 1, but Alonso replied by winning the following Japanese GP and virtually clinched the title. He topped Schumacher by 134 to 121.
"I was convinced (we would) win. I had no doubts in these couple of weeks,'' Alonso said. "We deserved the championship.''
Schumacher's race troubles made life easier for Alonso, who entered the race needing to finish eighth or better to secure the championship. He started in fourth place but moved up to second halfway through the 71-lap race.
Schumacher jumped from 10th to seventh on the first lap, but a flat left-rear tire entering the ninth lap shattered his chances of victory.
He had just passed sixth-placed Giancarlo Fisichella on the outside of turn 1 when the tire blew, forcing him to slowly return to the pits.
He changed tires and returned to the track in 18th place, more than a minute behind race leader Massa and out of contention barely 15 minutes into the race.
Schumacher accepted his fate as soon as the incident occurred. "It was simply like this,'' he said. "But probably this is part of racing, too.''
Alonso heard about it from his team.
"Well, first of all they told me to drop the revs,'' he said "Then they said he was back in 19th.''
On the first lap, Nico Rosberg smashed his Williams and spread debris over the track, drawing the safety car.
It slowed and grouped the field before the race restarted after the sixth lap with Alonso 1.8 seconds behind in fourth and Schumacher 3.2 back in sixth.
After Schumacher's tire blew, Massa built on his advantage.
After 34 laps and the first pit stops, Massa was trailed by Alonso, who passed Kimi Raikkonen on the pit stop but was 24 seconds back.
Button was third and Raikkonen dropped to fourth.
Schumacher made it back to eighth setting the fastest lap of the race to that point.
The German improved to sixth by the 55th lap.
On the 63rd, Schumacher finally caught Renault's Fisichella and a chance to move to fifth.
This time, misfortune fell upon Fisichella, who went off the track for a bit, and Schumacher went past, and took off after Raikkonen with six laps left.
At the start of the 69th, Schumacher moved on the inside and passed Raikkonen for fourth with wheels almost touching around the first turn. Raikkonen will replace Schumacher at Ferrari next year.
The positions remained the same to the end, where Massa stopped to grab a Brazilian flag to wave around the track. He'd also won his first grand prix from the pole in Turkey in August.
"I'm sure after today's victory my life will change a lot, especially in Brazil,'' Massa said. "Brazilian people love Formula One, and hopefully I can give them a lot more good results like today.''
Schumacher also had thanks for his fans.
"In all the beautiful moments and the bad moments they always supported me,'' he said.
"They give me a lot of support and so I can give them the performance, especially in moments when it was difficult. Over these long years it was immensely important for me, and I can only give a very big thank you to all those fans.''
The 2007 season-opener, the Australian GP on March 18, will mark the first F1 season without Schumacher since 1991.

Ray Allen makes 3-pointer to send Game 6 to overtime (video)

Ray Allen is amazingly, incredibly clutch. This is exactly why the Heat wanted him from Boston. What a huge shot.
If the Heat win this series, that will go down as one of the greatest shots in Finals history.
Allen and LeBron James will get credit for making 3-pointers to send Game 6 to overtime, but don't forget the Heat also got both looks thanks to offensive rebounds.

FEI's Annual Network Trip to NYC 2012
While many students spent the holidays at home, a certain group of CMC students learned what it takes to succeed in New York's highly competitive finance industry by honing their networking skills.
The Financial Economics Institute (FEI) and the Robert Day School of Economics and Finance sponsor the annual New York City Networking Trip, now in its ninth year. The trip has been primarily student-led for the past two years. A group of four CMC seniors led the organization of this year's trip, including conducting outreach to firms, planning various company visits and helping the group prepare for the experience through mock interviews and resum? editing.
The group met with senior-level executives and CMC alumni at nine companies, including Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, Deutsche Bank and Atalaya Capital Management, a hedge fund founded by CMC alumnus Ivan Zinn.
Participating companies provided the visiting CMC students with a presentation about the company, a Q&A session, a young employee panel to discuss early career roles in the financial industry, a facilities tour and targeted presentations from recruiters highlighting what it takes to stand out as students entering the job market.
Brian Dennis, who created the New York Networking trip and participated as a chaperone this year, says that while the trip is intended to help students make important career contacts, it is also about expanding their horizons.
"It is important to me that CMC students learn that their options are not investment banking or bust," Dennis explained. "There are a lot of opportunities out there. You can work in a consulting firm, risk management firm, or work at a sales and trading desk at an investment bank. There are many different paths to take."
The students on the trip also had an opportunity to network with alumni during a reception and dinner following the FEI Board meeting on January 9th and during a NYC alumni association reception at The Yale Club on January 10th.
CMC's Assistant Director of Career Services & Employer Relations, Marisa Walter, joined the trip for the first time this year and was thoroughly impressed by the experience. She said she found the trip informative not only in its exploration of the financial field, but also as a snapshot of the New York finance professional's lifestyle.
"Being in New York, taking the subway, dressing in suits, rushing down the street along with professionals to visit banks on Wall Street was a great taste of New York's culture that is a bit different from L.A.," she explained. "This trip is different from what students have seen from info sessions on campus."

Solar Pool Heat Exchangers
Because of the added chlorine and bromine found in pools and spas and the flow requirements at the pool/hot tub side, flat plate solar heat exchangers are not suitable. A Special high flow pool heat exchanger should be used instead. These heat exchangers can handle the higher secondary side flow as well as the high levels of chlorine and also have better flow characteristics making them ideal for solar pool heating or solar hot tub heating. For applications that use salt water, we recommend the titanium version of the solar pool heat exchanger. This version is highly resistant to salt water and chlorine.
Benefits of Solar Pool Exchangers
Our Solar Pool Exchanger Line of heat exchangers are designed to perform at high secondary side fluid velocities with low pressure drops.
To maximize the performance of the Solar Pool exchanger, the product should be installed in a counter-current flow method, as shown below in Figure below. The hot, or heating, fluid flows through the tube or primary side. The cold, or heated, fluid flows through the shell or secondary side.
Example: for swimming pool applications, the pool water is to flow through the shell side, and the boiler water is to flow through the tube side.
Please DO NOT exceed these design parameters. Failure to adhere to these parameters may result in equipment damage and/or personal injuriesPool Exchanger Design
The helical tube bundles are available in both Titanium and 316L Stainless Steel. Stainless steel tube bundles should not be used in applications that involve high levels or sea/saltwater. The Titanium tube bundles are recommended in these cases.

Simone de Beauvoir
Simone de Beauvoir (sēmôn´ də bōvwär´), 1908–86, French author. A leading exponent of existentialism, she is closely associated with Jean-Paul Sartre, with whom she had a life-long relationship. Beauvoir taught philosophy at several colleges until 1943, after which she devoted herself to writing. Her novels All Men Are Mortal (1946, tr. 1955), The Blood of Others (1946, tr. 1948), and The Mandarins (1955, tr. 1956) are interpretations of the existential dilemma. Among her most celebrated works is the profound analysis of the status of women, The Second Sex (1949–50, tr. 1953). This pivotal text was cut by some 15 percent when first translated; an unabridged English translation was finally published in 2010. Beauvoir's study The Marquis de Sade (tr. 1953) is a brilliant, perceptive portrait. Her monumental treatise The Coming of Age (1970, tr. 1972) is an exhaustive historical consideration of the social treatment of the aged in many cultures. Beauvoir's autobiographical writings include Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter (1958, tr. 1959), The Prime of Life (tr. 1962), Force of Circumstance (1963, tr. 1964), A Very Easy Death (1964, tr. 1966), and All Said and Done (tr. 1974). She also edited Sartre's letters to her (tr. 1994).

Natalie Portman wants to play a superhero
Natalie Portman wants to play a superhero
Natalie Portman, who stars as Jane Foster in the upcoming Thor sequel, 'Thor: The Dark World,' has revealed that she regrets being cast as the character because she can now never be a superhero.
Portman told Static Multimedia, "I think I blew it. Because once you are Jane, then you are like, 'Oh my God, I am a superhero over here,' then you can't be another character in a Marvel movie."
The 'Star Wars' actress quickly came up with a plan for how to get her own superhero character though, but I don't think it will cut the mustard.
Portman explained, "I don't know, maybe Jane can have an alter-ego." Nice try.
She also discussed Jane Foster's role in the upcoming sequel, confirming that she is more than just a pretty face with a broad knowledge of science this time round.
Foster makes her way to Asgard, Thor's planet, and acts as a connection between earth and her beau's home.
"She's really helping," explained the 'Garden State' star. "But not in like a physical superhero way, but her scientific understanding kind of helps understand what's going on with the correspondence of different worlds with each other."
Portman did reveal though that she was a bit of a handful on set, even going as far as to punch her British co-star while filming.
In the trailer, Portman's Foster belts Tom Hiddleston's villainous Loki in the chops, but don't mistake her cinematic assault for a dose of movie magic.
Portman explained, "It was actually a punch. We did a few that were fake, but they could tell because I am just bad at that. (laughs) So there were a few real ones because they were like, 'you are just a little girl, you really can't hurt him'. So I don't know, he acted like he could handle it, but I think I actually hurt him."
Which superhero do you think Natalie Portman should play?
Gregory Wakeman is a bona fide film enthusiast who believes 'Thor: The Dark World' could surpass 'Man of Steel' and 'Iron Man 3' as the comic-book movie of the year.

Comments Thread For: Roach: It Would Be Incredible For Pacquiao To Win By KO
Trainer Freddie Roach is still very much in tune for Manny Pacquiao to become the first boxer to knock Shane Mosley out. Pacquiao defends his WBO welterweight title against Mosley on May 7 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Roach believes it would further cement Pacquiao's position as the best fighter in the sport, pound for pound, and also upstages the performance by Floyd Mayweather Jr., who won a dominating twelve round decision over Mosley last May.

i know pac will not take mosley lightly becuase it is not typical of pac's...mosley at his age can still punch, still has speed and power...if pac gets careless, it will be disaster for him...but mosley's legs will be over in round 5, and that would be pac's time to retire the aging fighter for good...

Mosley has good chin. I dont think Pac has the power to put Mosley down. Punch accumulation and a severe beating seem more possible. Not rooting for anyone in particular cuz I love both fighters. Just want to see a good fight. Mosley is already a HOF. If he can manage to make this a close fight I will be surprised.
But I dont think at this age and point of his career he has the reflexes or the speed to neutralize Pac's speed and angles. Floyd dominated him. And Pac's workrate will most likely overwhelm him.
I hope Mosley doesnt lose to bad and I hope this is his last fight. He has fought the best for years and has never made excuses. He doesnt have anything else to prove.
Using PED is surely a stain in his career. But I know he is one of the most respected fighters in recent years.
Mosley's only chance in this fight is to go all out since the beginning. Attack Pac while he is still warming up and adjusting , he needs to go for the kill since the opening bell. No point of making this a chess match.

Incredible?? More like expected! Mosley is done...anything less than a KO is a shame. Shane is 40 and gases in 2 rounds.
Roach says that if manny ko"s mosley that proves how much better manny is than M.M. So when manny struggled against juan marquez twice and many feel manny lost twice! and M.M. BLEW OUT JMM that makes M.M. WAY BETTER! STYLES MAKE FIGHTS!

No, what would be incredible is if Manny stopped letting Blob Arum use his career as nothing more than a tool to try getting fighters away from GBP. Bob is going to die of old age soon and Oscar will run Boxing. Bob is fighting a losing battle. Top Stank will be buried right next to his greedy old bones before his family is even through fighting over his money and his wife is getting slammed by a 25 year old gigolo.

Implemented under Executive Order 13662, these "sectoral" sanctions prohibit US persons from transacting in, providing financing for, or dealing in new debt of longer than 90 days maturity or new equity for these financial institutions. As we reported in our July 18 client alert, these restrictions also apply to entities that are owned 50 percent or more by entities on the SSI List. OFAC's Frequently Asked Questions provide additional guidance regarding the sectoral sanctions.

BAUGES GEOPARK (France)
The Bauges Massif is located in the northwestern part of the Alps in France. The border of the Geopark perfectly fits with the existent Regional Nature Park. It appears as a rocky fortress or preserved natural island with high summits in contrast with the outer crown of lower valleys.
Conservation, Education & Tourism
The Massif des Bauges Geopark spectacular landscape, with conformable and inverted reliefs symbolized by perched synclines, results from tectonic folding during mountain building between 20 and 30 millions years ago. Mesozoic limestone, shales and tertiary sediments were folded and faulted during that period. The territory now appears as a water tower with numerous karstic networks, deep and narrow canyons and waterfalls supplying the two largest natural lakes in France.
The territory is rich in historical monuments from the 1st to the 19th century, such as towers built with local limestones. "Natura 2000 sites" and "Wild Fauna National Reserve" preserve natural heritage such as Potentille du Dauphiné (Potentilla delphinensis), blue thistle (Eryngium alpinum), chamois (Rupicapra Rupicapra), golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) and lynx (lynx lynx). All this has created a territory with a strong local identity.
Numerous and varied museums and sites of interest welcome visitors interested in the area. In the Bauges Geopark, geotourism concerns not only geology, but also closely linked themes. For example, local wine producers have long been aware that the quality and originality of their wines are due to the area's soils and exposures. Wines (red and white wines "Vins de Savoie" with 10 vintages) and cheeses ("Tome des Bauges") have a denomination of origin. The essence of the Geopark is well captured by producers that have developed guided tours linking geology and landscape to wine.
The Global Geoparks Network is supported by UNESCO at the request of Member States


text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Millenia ago, the Kherubim race betrayed and subverted the D'rahn, wiping out almost all of their Hive. The D'rahn were a race of near invincible conquerors. Narrowly defeating their oppressors, the Kherubim believed they had rid the galaxy of the despotic race. Daemonites had also been conquered by the D'rahn, and served their masters up until they were exterminated. Unknown to either of the two remaining races, a small group of D'rahn remained, imprisoned on an out of the way planet called Earth. Fast Forward to the present day, these D'rahn have been released, and they intend to conquer Earth. A small group of heroes led by Backlash and backed by a U.S. government funded agency known as Department PSI are the only ones who know the truth, and they will fight against overwhelming odds to stop the D'rahn.

Customer reviews
By Dani Chapman 01 Dec 2012
I will admit I am a total fan of the Love at Stake series by Kerrelyn Sparks. So when I saw that she had a new book coming out and it was going to be about Howard the bear shifter, I squealed! I just loved Howard and I knew his story would be a good one!
I was right! It is a sweet and quirky story that makes for such an enjoyable read. There were a couple of slow spots but overall the plot was very interesting and entertaining. I really love Howard and was so happy we could get to know more about him and where he came from. Elsa, I think, really rocked as a heroine. There was just something about her I really liked.
While Wild About You is not my favorite book in this series, it is still a wonderful addition. Over all it is a fun shifter romance that has a great plot and even more interesting characters. It is a fast read and could be read as a standalone. I do recommend reading the rest of the Love At Stake series just because they are all good paranormal romance stories.
Review quote
This wonderful addition to the Love at Stake series focuses on the hero shapeshifter, his family and history, with the vampires taking a backseat. Sparks offers up a fantastic, entertaining story with plenty of old faces and some quite intriguing new ones, all with their own unique powers.--RT Book Reviews

FIRTH — The Firth Cougars welcomed next door neighbor Shelley to town on Tuesday afternoon for a game of hardball that eventually was won by the Russets 7-4 in a game that was called after five innings of play due to the muddy conditions.
"It went down hill fast and it got pretty sloppy out here and when the ball gets wet like this, it's hard for any pitcher to get a good grip and that's what happens when it just keeps raining," Shelley head coach Trent Armstrong said. "I give the kids credit though. They were able to stick it out and just keep trying."

I play at least one competitive match a week of singles. and usually one match of doubles for fun. I enjoy the competition. I win 8 out of 10 matches. against good players. I have become very crafty. I will do whatever I can to take the opponent out of his rythm. I see it like a chess or strategy against good players. Against lower level guys I just blast them and overpower them. I am playing on a usta team this season for the first time. the club the team is based out of gave me a free membership to play on their team. (free indoor tennis baby!) So I will have 1 usta match and 1 singles league match a week for the next few months. I enjoy playing any level of opponent. I don't like just hitting. I do like practicing though with a goal.

Water billing problems persist
City says help is on the way, with added staff and phone lines
Walk-in payment centers will be the same or similar to those available for payment of SDG&E bills, Vogl said. Managers are finalizing locations, which will include some Walmart stores. Information will be available on the department's website and by calling the customer service call center for recorded information once the locations are open for business.
The Public Utilities Department's new $24 million billing system is part of a citywide upgrade to replace an antiquated mainframe with software that integrates all city departments. The overall project, begun in 2007, cost $52 million – $16 million over budget and more than a year behind schedule.
Problems continue and it's getting more expensive to maintain the system. The city said it spent $4.4 million in FY 2011 versus $2.3 million in FY 2010 for maintenance contracts and personnel costs.
Some customers told Investigative Newsource that the new system, which required them to re-enter bank account information, repeatedly rejected their user names or passwords and gave them the wrong security questions or did not record their bank account information properly.
"I was sorry to hear the department spokesman blame much of the problem on us ignorant users," said Carmel Valley customer Ken Ravazzolo, whose payment didn't register in the new system. "I guess my skills as a software developer and user interface designer aren't what they used to be. I had a truly horrible time dealing with this issue and came close to having our water shut off twice."
Shannon Nugent, a Carmel Valley attorney, said she received a warning in October that her water was about to be shut off for nonpayment, even though she'd been making payments on time and her bills showed her as current.
After hours trying to reach the city, and two customer service representatives telling her she was current, a third figured out that a payment was lost in the conversion to the new billing system and not applied to her account, Nugent said.
"I said to her, 'We will not get our water shut off, right?' She swore up and down my water wouldn't get shut off," Nugent said. "At most a week later, the water gets shut off."
That was Oct. 28, the day before Nugent and her husband, Randy Rechs, were hosting a 5K run and fundraiser for the Hoyt Foundation, a nonprofit that benefits disabled youth. It's named for Dick and Rick Hoyt, the famous father and his disabled son who have completed numerous marathons and Ironman races together.
Runners need a bathroom at the start of a race. Nugent and Rechs were panicked. They frantically called the city and finally got through. Water service was restored the same day.
"I would say it was a nightmare but that's probably overstating," Nugent said. "It was a pain. If you count all the times I called them and all the different people I talked to and ultimately my water still got shut off it just blows my mind how it could be so confusing for them."

Awesome Camera with Splendid Features"Finally my search for pro-zoomer has ended. After a 3 month long search, I found THE PANASONIC DMC-FZ150 Bridge Camera, the BEST in Class. It is way ahead from its closest rival Canon SX40 in terms of picture quality, color quality, noise reduction, video sharpness and Stabilization.

Very much satisfied...I bought this camera after reading lot of reviews of various mega zoom cameras including hx100v and sx40. I had a dilemma whether to go for hx100v or fz150, but went with fz150 and very happy with that.

I have used this camera for almost all occasions, be it family unions, nature, traveling, birding, concerts, night photography and in all of them it has given me images which are good.

Best Superzoom in this price rangeBefore buying this I compared it with canon sx40hs and sony hx200v .I found out that this camera produces better image quality than both of the other cameras , sony being the worst one .Canon , however, produces better images than this when used over a stand. But when used in hands, fz-150 beats any superzoom by a considerable margin, in terms of image quality, but fujifilm X-S1, which is available for rs 50,000

But the overall findings from the study were disheartening, Forrest said. Kids with special health care needs "have significant differences in their engagement in school and their school relationships, as well as academic achievement," he said. "It sets up a trajectory for these kids that's highly distressing."
The high proportion of low-income families living in the three districts studied could have contributed to the study results, Forrest noted, because higher-income schools may have more programs in place to help kids adjust to special needs before fourth grade.
"It's not a national study," he said. "Some communities may have better resources than others."
James Wendorf, executive director of the National Center for Learning Disabilities in New York City, praised the study, saying it "looked at the whole child."
"It certainly clarifies that learning disabilities, once again, are shown to have a demonstrable effect on children's achievement in school," Wendorf said. "We know that students with learning disabilities . . . have very distinct social and emotional challenges that can lead them into difficult situations. We also know many of these things intensify as children grow older."
And because the study used a cross-sectional design, Forrest said he was unable to rule out reverse causation -- that children with poor school outcomes may also be more likely to be labeled as having a special health care need.
Because the problems linked to these special needs can't be qualified as only health- or education-related, Forrest also questioned how communities can bring both systems together when each is funded by a separate stream of finances.

Cell Metabolism Publishes Novel TGR5-Mediated Mechanism for the Treatment of Diabetes and Obesity
NEW YORK, Sept. 1 /PRNewswire/ — Bile acids are known to be key regulators of lipid, glucose and overall energy metabolism. Bile acid activation of the G protein-coupled receptor TGR5 has been shown to induce energy expenditure in muscle and brown fat, thereby conferring resistance to weight gain. Now, a paper published in the current issue of Cell Metabolism (Vol. 10, Issue 3, Sept. 2, 2009) elaborates on a separate TGR5-regulated mechanism in the gut that drives secretion of the hormone glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) and resulting insulin sensitization.
The paper reports on the mechanism of action of the selective TGR5 agonist INT-777, providing a clear rationale for its potential as a novel treatment in diabetes, obesity and associated metabolic disorders. INT-777 is a patent-pending modified human bile acid that is currently being advanced to an IND by Intercept Pharmaceuticals, Inc. This proprietary compound was discovered by the company's scientific founder and head of medicinal chemistry, Professor Roberto Pellicciari. The newly published results were generated through a longstanding exclusive Intercept research collaboration with Professor Pellicciari and his medicinal chemistry team at the University of Perugia (Italy), together with Professor Johan Auwerx and Dr. Kristina Schoonjans who lead a molecular biology and metabolic phenotyping group at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL).
Highlights of the Cell Metabolism paper, titled "TGR5-Mediated Bile Acid Sensing Controls Glucose Homeostasis", authored by Dr. Charles Thomas, et al., include:
- INT-777, a derivative of the primary human bile acid cholic acid, is a potent and selective TGR5 agonist.
- INT-777 induces the release of GLP-1 in the gut in a TGR5-dependent manner, an effect that is markedly enhanced when the compound is given in combination with a DPP4 inhibitor such as sitagliptin.
- INT-777 normalizes glucose tolerance in obese, insulin resistant (DIO) and diabetic (db/db) mice; the treated mice maintain normal insulin levels and glucose uptake in liver and muscle.
- INT-777 prevents weight gain and fat accumulation in mice on a high fat diet by increasing energy expenditure and fat burning; liver function is also protected with reduced steatosis, fibrosis and serum markers of liver damage in the treated mice.
Professor Pellicciari, a co-author on the paper, commented, "Years of concerted discovery efforts and proprietary know-how in bile acid chemistry have resulted in our ability to rationally design molecules that are highly selective for bile acid receptors. The realization of this in the novel TGR5 agonist INT-777 and the characterization of its mechanism of action represent an important milestone in the establishment of a novel class of therapeutic agents targeting this receptor."
Professor Johan Auwerx, who has led the field in uncovering the role of the TGR5 receptor and representing the lead authors at EPFL, added, "Our collaboration with the joint Intercept-Pellicciari team has been extremely fruitful. We are very pleased with the performance of INT-777, a compound that has allowed us to further elucidate this critical mechanism of TGR5 regulated GLP-1 release in the gut."
Dr. Mark Pruzanski, founder, President and CEO of Intercept and a co-author on the paper, commented further, "Diabetes, obesity and other associated metabolic disorders are reaching epidemic proportions. At Intercept we are uniquely positioned to exploit the therapeutic potential of modified bile acids, molecules that nature has designed to play a central role in the maintenance of metabolic homeostasis. In this context, TGR5 has emerged as an important target and INT-777 as an excellent candidate that we plan to advance into the clinic in 2010."
About Intercept Pharmaceuticals
Intercept is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing small molecule drugs for the treatment of chronic fibrotic and metabolic diseases. The company's most advanced programs are focused on the development of modified bile acids that are selective for FXR, a nuclear receptor, and TGR5, a G protein-coupled receptor. Bile acid signaling through these receptors regulates key aspects of lipid, glucose and overall energy metabolism, while also serving to maintain the functional integrity of the liver, intestine and kidney, organs that are exposed to bile acid flux.
Intercept's lead compound, INT-747, is a modified human bile acid and first-in-class FXR agonist that is currently in Phase II testing. Clinical proof of concept was recently demonstrated in a Phase II, placebo-controlled trial of INT-747 in type 2 diabetics with fatty liver disease. Based on these results, the company plans to advance INT-747 in a Phase IIb trial in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in 2010. INT-747 is completing two additional Phase II trials in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis, an autoimmune cholestatic liver disease and orphan indication. Results from the first of the two studies are expected in the fourth quarter of 2009.
INT-777 is a modified human bile acid and selective TGR5 agonist that is currently being assessed in IND-enabling studies.

NY dad forgets baby in car for 8 hours on cold day
Friday - 1/25/2013, 9:29am EST
COLONIE, N.Y. (AP) - Authorities say a New York man who left his 1-year-old son in his car for eight hours in frigid weather only realized his mistake after a call from his wife.
Police in the Albany suburb of Colonie say the man forgot to drop off his son at day care and left the child strapped in the back seat of the car when he parked outside his office Thursday morning.
Officials say the man received a call from his wife at about 4 p.m. inquiring about their child. He called for an ambulance and the boy was checked out at a hospital and released. Police say the baby didn't suffer any injuries despite temperatures that didn't top 15 degrees.
Police said Friday they haven't determined if the father would be charged.
