The Top Gear magazine Car of the Year
My lords, ladies and gentlemen, please be upstanding and raise your glasses to the Toyota GT86
Posted: 17 Jan 2013
The GT86 is a lovely car to drive. The steering is without fault, the ride is sporty without being stupid, the handling is epic, the grip is poor, by which I mean excellent, and there is enough oomph to ensure you aren't last away from the lights.
Inside, you get all the toys you need and none that will only ever be used once, by the salesperson in the showroom, and then never used again. Apart from cruise control.
Likewise, Toyota hasn't bothered with much in the way of hand-stitched leather or carbon-fibre cupholdery. Because if it had, the car would have been £35,000. And that would have put it up against a BMW M135i in a battle it couldn't win and shouldn't be fighting in the first place.
Normally, I would argue that there is no such thing as cheap and cheerful. There is cheap and disgusting or expensive and cheerful. But here is an exception. It is cheaper than a BMW M135i. And it is more cheerful. It's not especially good-looking, and it doesn't make an especially intoxicating noise. And it only seems to be available in quite the most revolting red I've ever seen. But none of this matters once you push the starter button, put some tunes on the stereo, snick it into first and set off.

Second-most-Irish U.S. city: Albany, N.Y.
Irish-American population: 17.8%
If you haven't found your pot of gold at the end of the rainbow just yet, Albany offers the lowest median home price of the five metro areas that boast America's most heavily Irish-American populations.
Zillow calculates that a typical Albany home costs a relatively modest $183,700, even though prices have risen 3.4% over the past year. ( Click here for a rundown of local properties for sale.)Jeff Cleary of Albany's Irish American Heritage Museum () says the city's Celtic community dates back to the early 1800s, when laborers came from the old country to help build the Erie Canal. "Then the Great Famine struck and people came to Albany because they had relatives or connections here to get work through a cousin or a long-lost son," he says. Ultimately, so many Irish immigrants flocked to the south side of New York's capital city that the neighborhood is still called Limerick. Albany also hosts two Irish cultural organizations, the Capital District Celtic Cultural Association and the Capital District Irish American Center/Albany Ancient Order of Hibernians. Both offer concerts and other cultural activities, while Cleary says more than a half-dozen shops in an around Albany import authentic Irish butter, cheese, clothes and other goods.

It took a month or so to adjust from a 20mm straight beam (C10 Pro) to a tapered frame, but other than that, absolutely no complaints.
I had hit with the M Pro No 1 for a month prior to buying the X Force Pro, and while a tad stiffer than its predecessor, Pacific still managed to retain the Fischer feel (my understanding is the X Force Pro is essentially the Black Granite Pro No 1 that never made it to the states). This is a great all-around frame that allows you to swing through the ball with confidence.
Now, if Pacific can just find a way to market these things...
This frame has grabbed my curiosity of late. How does it compare IYO to the swirly Pure Control + that I recall you used to play and I'm familiar with?
I've actually been playing around with the old silver/red Fischer Pro No 1 (same frame as the VT Pro 9
recently and was told it's pretty similarish to that. Anyhow, I'm particularly interested in baseline performance, as I think I'm finding I still fare better from the b-line with my Babs than the Pro No 1. That aside though, the Fischer bosses it in every department (impact feel, solidness, quality buld, accuracy, etc).

India's Modi says 'no honeymoon' after one month as PM
Published on Jun 27, 2014 1:20 AM
NEW DELHI (AFP) - India's new Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday he had not had the luxury of a "honeymoon period" since his government took charge a month ago.
Mr Modi's right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has suffered a series of setbacks since coming to power, including accusations of failing to act on widespread sexual violence, protests over train fare hikes, and clashes with regional parties over the official language of government communication.
"Previous governments had the luxury of extending this 'honeymoon period' up to a hundred days and even beyond. Not unexpectedly I don't have any such luxury," the 63-year-old former tea boy wrote in a blog on his official website on Thursday after completing exactly one month in office.
"Forget 100 days, the series of allegations began in less than a hundred hours. But when one is working with the sole aim of serving the nation determinedly, these things do not matter," he wrote in the post.

amazing! so easy and quick!
I have heard numerous stories of bad wedding invites or difficult people to work with. Magnetstreet was GREAT to work with. I was able to get exactly what I wanted at a great quality. I ordered my wedding invites on a Thursday and they arrived on Tuesday. I was so surprised. I never take the time to write reviews but this company definitely deserved it! Will use them for all my future needs.
We ordered invitations and Thank-you notes in this collection which were beautiful. However the red color on the programs was a little bit off this time...
Great product
Easy to design and customize!! Great product for amazing price!! Timely delivery!! Using them for all our wedding needs!
nice but small
Just wish the font could have been bigger, it is smaller than it was on the preview and kind of hard to read. Many will need glasses! Also wish it came with an outer envelope, had to buy at a store and its not the same shade of white
Wedding Invitation
The invitations were beautiful and arrived quickly. I wish there was an option to customize the back though.

PNC aware of some website problems after hacking group warns of new cyberattack
Dec 11, 2012 (The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- Some PNC Bank customers may experience difficulty logging onto the bank's website, following a warning from a computer hacking group that it planned cyberattacks on PNC and other large banks.
PNC spokeswoman Amy Vargo said on Tuesday that the Downtown-based bank was aware of some intermittent problems, but she encouraged customers to try logging again if they have trouble the first time.
A computer hacking group, which claimed responsibility for disruptive attacks on PNC Bank and a half-dozen other large U.S. banks in September, on Monday said U.S. banks would be hit again in coming days.
The al Qassam Cyber Fighters Group posted to an Internet message board that it would again target Downtown-based PNC, along with JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, U.S. Bank and SunTrust in a second phase of attacks that previously cut access to bank websites.
In the September cyberattacks on PNC, the bank's consumer website was crippled for two days in what is known as a denial of service attack. The attacks flood a website with traffic in coordinated fashion, essentially preventing legitimate customers from gaining access.
"PNC is aware of the potential denial of service attack," Vargo said. "We are working with appropriate authorities to take precautions." PNC also communicated with customers through its Facebook page on Monday, saying it was aware of the possible attack but that no problems had been reported.
"Please be assured that PNC's website is protected by sophisticated encryption strategies that shield customer information and accounts," the Facebook message said. "We have no information regarding timing, duration or intensity of this potential threat. Please continue to follow our page for additional updates." The bank has said previously that attacks did not compromise customers' personal or financial information.
Experts have said denial of service attacks are meant to disrupt commerce.
In a CNBC interview in October, PNC CEO James Rohr said the bank had been "pummeled" by the cyberattacks.
"We had 38 straight hours of attacks on our systems, and we had the longest attack of all the banks. They just pummeled us," Rohr said.
Many large U.S. banks, including Bank of America, Wells Fargo & Co., U.S. Bank, JP Morgan Chase, Capital One and BB&T were hit with the same type of attacks in September and October.
The government has said it suspects Iran may be behind the attacks. But the Qassam group claims it is retaliating over an anti-Muslim video posted to YouTube that mocks the Islamic Prophet Muhammad.
"The people, whoever it is, supposedly it's Iran, have said that they're going to just continue these attacks," Rohr said.

Be a Surveillance Technician: Education and Career Roadmap
Learn how to become a surveillance technician. Research the education requirements, training information and experience required for starting a career in the electronics field.
Do I Want to Be a Surveillance Technician?
Surveillance technicians install and repair a variety of electrical equipment in transportation and other industries. Some of their job duties include reassembling equipment, replacing defective parts and maintaining records of labor time. Lifting heavy equipment and working in awkward positions might be required.
Job Requirements
Employers may prefer to hire technicians who have received specialized training in a college program. Licensure is often required, and voluntary certification is available. The following table contains essential requirements needed to become a surveillance technician:
|Common Requirements
|Degree Level
|Postsecondary education*
|Degree Field
|Licensure from the Federal Communications Commission is typically required**
|Key Skills
|Color vision; communication and troubleshooting skills*
|Computer Skills
|Knowledge of processors, computer hardware and software, computer applications, chips and computer programs***
|Technical Skills
|Ability to install, operate and repair a variety of complex electronic equipment*
Sources: *U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, **Federal Communications Commission, ***O*NET Online
Step 1: Meet Educational Requirements
Taking courses in electronics at community colleges or technical schools can be beneficial to aspiring surveillance technicians. Though a high school diploma may be sufficient for some jobs, many employers prefer to hire candidates who have taken specialized college courses. Programs in electronics or electrical engineering technology at the 2-year level will provide surveillance technicians with a background in circuit design and implementation, electronics installation, measurements and electrical systems.
Step 2: Gain Work Experience
After obtaining a 2-year degree in electronics or electrical engineering, a prospective surveillance technician can obtain a job with a surveillance company; usually, new hires work alongside an experienced technician. On-the-job training allows a new technician to become familiar with the types of systems specific companies install and the company's protocol when dealing with clients. New technicians also practice installing, maintaining and replacing surveillance systems of all types.
Step 3: Obtain a License
In addition to the technical aspects of their job, surveillance technicians must be familiar with federal and state laws that govern the installation and use of surveillance equipment. Professional surveillance technicians are often required to obtain a General Class License from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) within a few months of being hired. This license allows for the legal installation and operation of certain types of surveillance equipment. Candidates can obtain this license by completing a written exam.
Some employers may accept other licenses such as the FCC General Radiophonic Operator's License. The Electronics Technicians Association International (ETA) and the International Society of Certified Electronics Technicians also offer a variety of certifications for different levels of competence.
Success Tip:
- Keep license current. To keep licenses from expiring, individuals must submit forms and participate in continuing education opportunities within a certain time period.

In Topic: Middle School Cooking Class
18 September 2011 - 11:06 AM
Just remember it's probably more than likely that the curriculum has been adjusted to assure a peanut free environment, so you can and should expect them to accommodate your situation as well. Many of the gluten free flours out there can be used for cup-for-cup wheat flour substitution. While I agree the whole class shouldn't be required to follow gluten free food preparation, the class should be stocked with gluten free flour and xanthan gum for your son.
I remember making many gravies in high school cooking classes. Ask the teachers to switch to corn starch, which I personally believes makes for a better gravy anyway.
The teacher should be responsible for overseeing hand-washing, which is an important step to teach to all cooking students regardless of allergies. Proper food preparation cleanup is also something that should be included as part of cooking class instruction.
My opinion -- for what it's worth. :-)

I actually have two kids going through this stuff at the moment. They both had biopsies - the younger one border line and then other negative. The eldest (negative biopsy) became so anemic he developed a heart murmur, struggled to breathe, couldn't walk, fell over all the time...was awful..low vitamin K, Zinc, and D. They both have gastritis with no obvious cause and are both medicated and the eldest one experienced psychiatric problems due to the first medication he was on. They have both been on Zoton /Nexium since the beginning of the year. Still no improvement of gastritis. BUT the eldest one since being gluten-free doesn't seem to be malapsorbing anymore and his stools are normal...phew! I am pretty sure they are both celiac - I am, my mother is, they believe my grandfather was as well. But I think there might be something else going on with the youngest. Its so hard to sort stuff out and separate all the things and try and work out what is wrong! I have another autoimmune disease as well and I am on the road to be diagnosed with another - ugh! Good luck. If you ever find out what is wrong with your little one, let me know and vise versa - it seems like they are very similar in symptoms!
I most definitely will! For now, I will tell you both physicians we are currently seeing did tell me where their heads are at the moment (after much prodding from me; I am very good and getting doctors to share their hunches with me with the full understanding it is subject to change). Both believe they are looking at possible Crohns with gluten intolerance (most likely non-Celiac), as Crohns does run on my side of the family and we just learned that non-Celiac gluten intolerance runs on my husband's side. The two are apparently closely linked and exacerbate the symptoms of each other, which would explain why they are so severe and autoimmune-like in nature.
What they disagree on are next steps. Pediatrician believes if it is Crohns, it will appear on its own someday despite the gluten-free diet, and would prefer not to expedite its onset by doing a gluten challenge because he has done so well on this diet. Specialist would like to know if it is Crohns so we can better target his dietary needs (which would include a lot of vitamin supplements), as she is concerned his weight and growth seem to have plateaued recently. So that is where we are now. I decided to take pedatrician's advice for now (thanks to some great feedback from this site), and will touch base again if anything changes.
Please keep in touch, and good luck.

Not only that, but the peanut allergy moms have some sympathy from the general public (ie - those not affected by a peanut allergy themselves). When it comes to gluten, people are so ignorant as to what it means to live gluten free. Most of them don't even know what gluten is.
I used to have to listen to someone at my office complain about how she couldn't eat very much cake, or put sugar in her coffee anymore, or have hot chocolate (except occasionally) because she was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Not that I think diabetes is a small thing (I have another friend who is suffering from it, badly), but she was trying to tell me that her diet was more "restricted" than mine. It used to tick me off to no end. People just have no idea.
You can tell that woman at the office that while my son had a cornucopia of symptoms related to Celiac since birth, the "kicker" that sent us into a frenzy was that he had started to show signs of diabetes -- wetting himself, excessive thirst, malabsorption, diabetic-type "zone outs," etc. Celiac causes diabetic symptoms, in addition to all of the others splattered all over this website.
In fact, the very day I heard the word "gluten' for the first time was when I just crashed the doctor's office without an appointment when he was experiencing these diabetic symptoms. At the time, he was still in the midst of testing, but I was so fed up and yelled "Do something now and stop testing him - I can no longer watch him waste away." That was the very moment she said, "This is a gluten thing -- I'm absolutely sure of it." My first question was "What the heck is gluten?" but boy do I know now.
Truth be told, the very reason I want firm answers is because I do incorrectly use the word "celiac" to describe his condition, even though all evidence suggests he does not have villi atrophy. However, if you say "gluten allergy," someone will try to stick him with an epipen if they believe he's been glutened (yes, we had a close call on that once). If you say "gluten intolerance," you get a lot of unsolicited feedback from folks who are simply doing gluten-free because it's the newest health craze. I'm getting just as frustrated with that, as well as having to fight my way through to the gluten-free shelves at Wegmans on the weekend.
I would never downplay anyone's health condition, but like you, I'm getting very frustrated when people compare what I perceive to be a better accommodated, more manageable and more widely recognized illness to what my child has. Let's face it, only we know what we've been through.
Good luck. I've been there too.
In Topic: 8 Year Old Sneaking Food With Gluten In It!
16 September 2011 - 07:22 PM
My 8 year old was diagnosed with gluten intolerance about a year ago. I had her tested after I found out that I have celiac disease. My husband and son are what they call "normal". Our house is split, half gluten free and the other half "normal". When my daughter first found out that she could not have gluten she handled it very well. It didn't seem to effect her at all. Once summer vacation started, I noticed she was sneaking food that had gluten in it. Or when I would ask her what she wanted for a snack she would say " something with wheat in it" or that she was "craving wheat". My husband and I talked and have decided to make the entire house gluten free. My main concern is that my daughter is starting to have a bad "relationship" with food. I want my daughter to have a positive attitude when it comes to food. I am worried that this may turn into an eating disorder. Has anybody else dealt with this issue? If so, how did you handle it?
Hi. My 8 year old son has been gluten-free for 4 years, my husband just went gluten free a year ago, and my daughter and I are what you call "low gluten." So, I feel your pain, but will enthusiastically tell you that you that we've been able to get through it, and I'm absolutely sure you can as well.
First rule -- You need to experiment with every single gluten-free brand out there to discover her faves. Here are some of our favorite carbs that you may want to try to help your daughter forget about wheat once and for all --
Udi's White Bread, Bagels, Muffins, and Pizza Crust, Tinkayada Pasta, Snickerdoodle Cookies, and Dr.Schar's rolls and italian bread (pizza crust is pretty good too).
Dinner -- Quite frankly, even before the gluten issue, my son always preferred fish and meat to pasta, so dinner time hasn't really been an issue here. However, we ALL love Bell and Evans Gluten Free Chicken -- best frozen chicken products on the market -- gluten and non-gluten. We also make MUCH mexican -- fajitas with corn flour tortillas and tacos (all Old El Paso products are gluten free). At any given time we have fresh salsa and tortilla chips in the house.
I make a lot of fried rice and use San-J gluten free soy sauce, which actually tastes better than the cheaper wheat-based soy. (Note -- PF Changs actually offers the gluten-free soy option now as well).
Baking -- The Betty Crocker gluten free products are great, and my son prefers the Pamela's Pancake Mix to the other brands. For scratch baking, use nothing else by Authentic Foods Multi-Blend Gluten Free mix. Expensive, but worth it because you can use it cup-for-cup in any recipe that calls for gluten (though some require a little extra xantham gum). We use it in the Nestle Tollhouse Cookie recipe, and I swear the only difference between them and those made with traditional flour is that they are slightly grainier, and they do tend to go stale faster. In my homemade chocolate cake and cupcake recipe, there is absolutely no detectable difference.
My daughter and the neighbors kids all love the gluten-free brownies by Foods By George(frozen). Their frozen pizza isn't half bad either.
If that doesn't cure her craving for wheat, I don't know what will! Good luck -- 8 year old girls are tough even when they aren't gluten free! :-)
In Topic: To Challenge .... Or Not To Challenge?
16 September 2011 - 07:18 PM
My little one ended up being negative for CF too- but he is gluten-free since Jan and still has completely undigested meals in his stettorhea stools, oily, mucous - ugh! He is a twin and his brother is grown at a healthy weight and he is just getting further and further behind in every way. Height, weight, speech development, he bruises really easily, has purple under his eyes, diagnoses with asthma before two, always has chest infections - arrghh. I am at my wits end!
I have life threatening symptoms with gluten - its not an allergy - so that just blows those mothers theories straight out of the water. Also - there has just been a study released showing that some gluten intolerance does in fact do damage to the intestines - I think its from Italy? Maybe google it and see what comes up!
Anyways - I feel your pain - it is so awful having sick children and not knowing why - or how to fix it - or what it all means....arrghhh!
Oh gosh, I was so you 4 years ago. Your kid is sick, and no one is disagreeing with you but no one is giving you any answers except "It's not this nor that, but keep him off gluten and see how he does" and you grow so resentful towards the entire medical community because they don't treat this illness with the same verve as other food-related illnesses. After time, I began to realize that this was because the doctors themselves aren't sure of the long term effects of gluten intolerance and could not give me firm answers to my ever-growing list of questions. Doctors just don't like to say "I don't know."
You're son will get better on a gluten-free diet, trust me. We still get the purple circles under the eyes every now and again (I believe when he's been subjected to cross-contamination), but the stools are much better. While my son did get health-i-er when we first initiated a gluten-free diet, the full improvement we see today did not happen overnight. The developmental catch-up and improvements to his blood count did take a bit of time -- about 2-3 years. In fact, it was just this year is when his teacher "officially" stated that he should no longer be considered behind academically because he was testing at an advanced level on his Stanford Achievement tests. His pediatrician credits his steady improvement over 4 years time to a sustained gluten-free diet with no cheating whatsoever. I'll admit the trips to the bathroom still aren't pretty (that is why they continue to cite Crohns), but is does continually get better with time.
What you stated about the research from Italy -- that is exactly why I chose the Celiac Research Center in Baltimore, as much of that research is being conducted by Dr. Fasano from Naples. He runs this particular clinic, though he does not see pediatric patients any longer -- we visit another doctor in the practice. I do like the group, however, because they are a research center they do advocate testing.
Good luck with your own health. I don't have Celiac but am a fellow sufferer of an autoimmune disease, and know first-hand that it's hard enough to deal with your young child's ill-health, but even more difficult when your own health issues are bringing you down. Take care and stay strong!

Mummies of the World Arrives in Philadelphia Under Heavy Security Detail for Exhibition's Debut at The Franklin Institute
PHILADELPHIA, June 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — More than 40 priceless mummies arrived in Philadelphia today under heavy security detail as part of the upcoming Mummies of the World exhibition at The Franklin Institute. This normally hidden portion of exhibition load-in was opened for media coverage by The Franklin Institute for the first time ever. The mummies traveled more than 800 miles from Milwaukee to make their highly-anticipated Philadelphia debut as part of the must-see Mummies of the World exhibit – the largest exhibition of real mummies and related artifacts ever assembled.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110201/FL40571 )
Upon arrival, the security detail and exhibitors signed over the mummies for the museum's safe-keeping and key executives and experts spoke to the press about the upcoming exhibition, which opens at The Franklin Institute's Mandell Center on Saturday, June 18, 2011.
Marc Corwin and James Delay of American Exhibitions, Inc. – producer of the groundbreaking exhibition – were joined by Troy Collins of The Franklin Institute and Meryl Levitz of the Greater Philadelphia Tourism and Marketing Council (GPTMC) for the ceremonious occasion. Special guest Dr. Heather Gill-Frerking, scientific research curator for the German Mummy Project (GMP), an organization based in Manheim, Germany that played an integral role in bringing the Mummies of the World exhibition to life in the United States, was also on hand to speak with media about the science and background of the highly-acclaimed exhibit.
"We are excited to bring Mummies of the World to Philadelphia, a city that is lauded for its commitment to arts and culture," said Corwin. "Mummies of the World provides residents in the Philadelphia area with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see real mummies from around the world and explore the lives and cultures of these ancient people and civilizations. Inside every mummy is a story waiting to be told, and Mummies of the World is here to tell those stories."
Mummies of the World features an astounding collection of 150 artifacts and real human and animal specimens from South America, Europe, Asia, Oceania and Egypt. The popular traveling exhibition premiered to sell out crowds in Los Angeles at the California Science Center in July 2010. It quickly became a major attraction and one of the most successful exhibits in the Science Center's 13-year history. It then debuted at the Milwaukee Public Museum on December 17, where it drew visitors from all 50 states.
Following the arrival, curators and exhibition staff will work day and night on the load-in and installation of the exhibit, which is set to debut at The Franklin Institute on June 18, 2011. These curators will work around the clock to ensure the mummies are prepped and properly displayed prior to opening, while treated with reverence and dignity.
"We are proud to be able to host what we hope will be yet another 'must-see' event of the summer," said Collins. "This is a unique opportunity to experience a never-before-seen collection of mummies from around the world in Philadelphia, and a great testament to the reputation of The Franklin Institute and to the growing reputation of our city as a cultural center."
"The Franklin Institute is one of the best partners GPTMC has, and an exhibition like this is a destination definer," said Levitz. "We anticipate that Mummies of the World will be a huge attraction and great success here in Philadelphia."
Mummies of the World is a timed-entry ticketed event. Tickets are available online at www.fi.edu or by calling at 1-877-TFI-TIXS.

Families of dead Marines share memories
San Diego Their hometowns stretched from Connecticut to California. One young man was soon to become a father, another had just gotten engaged. One was a former youth pastor, while another was the son of one.
They were among the seven Marines killed in one of the Corps' deadliest aviation training accidents in years.
As their families grieved and shared memories, crews worked to clean up the accident site on a sprawling desert range near Yuma, Ariz.
The dead, part of the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, were listed as Maj. Thomas A. Budrejko, 37, of Montville, Conn.; Capt. Michael M. Quin, 28, of Purcellville, Va.; Capt. Benjamin N. Cerniglia, 31, of Montgomery, Ala.; Sgt. Justin A. Everett, 33, of Clovis, Calif.; Lance Cpl. Corey A. Little, 25, of Marietta, Ga.; Lance Cpl. Nickoulas H. Elliott, 21, of Spokane, Wash. and Capt. Nathan W. Anderson, 32, of Amarillo, Texas.
Anderson was based in Yuma and the others were from Camp Pendleton in Southern California, the West Coast's largest base.
"Every single one of these Marines impacted our squadron in their own special way, and the entire Marine Corps aviation community is feeling their tragic loss," said Lt. Col. Stephen Lightfoot, commanding officer of the Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 469. "I ask that you pray for the families and friends of the warriors we have lost."
Officials said it could take weeks to determine what caused two helicopters, an AH-1W Cobra and a UH-1 Huey, to crash in midair during a routine exercise Wednesday night, killing all aboard the aircraft.
Two of the Marines who died were aboard the AH-1W Cobra and the rest were in the UH-1 Huey utility helicopter. They were flying in a remote section of the 1.2-million-acre Yuma Training Range Complex as part of a two-week standard training called "Scorpion Fire" that involved a squadron of about 450 troops from the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing.
Everett was aboard the Huey as a crew chief, his family said. He had served in Iraq and was about to deploy to Afghanistan.
Everett, who leaves behind a wife, a 5-year-old daughter and a 2-year-old son, left a job as a youth pastor at a Fresno church to join the Marines after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, said his mother, Patsy Everett.
He was a wrestler in high school, played the saxophone as a kid and participated in marching band in junior high school, she said. He also traveled to Mexico for several weeks to serve as a missionary for his church, she said.
"I saw him Sunday night, we came by to visit and he had walked me to my car and hugged me and kissed and told me, `Mama bear, I love you' and I told him, `Baby bear, I love you too,'" she said as she gathered with family to begin making funeral arrangements. "He was a good boy, never been any problem to us."
Little was also a Huey helicopter crew chief and he was married and expecting his first child in September.

Ever want to work in NBA? The Suns need a new gorilla.
Sep 4, 2012, 3:08 PM EDT
For 22 years, the Phoenix Suns have had a gorilla as a mascot. Why a gorilla, as the species is not exactly native to the American Southwest's deserts? Because in 1980 a guy delivering a singing telegram to the arena did a couple dances near the basket and the fans loved it. It grew from there.
Now the Suns gorilla is one of the oldest NBA mascots, one of the first to play jokes on opposing coaches, to mock the other team, and one of the first to become a high-flying dunker.
And now, that can be you.
The Suns are looking for a new gorilla (okay, not to ruin the surprise, but for a guy to be inside the gorilla costume). Why? We don't know but the old gorilla getting in an altercation in a restaurant probably didn't help his cause. Anyway, follow this link to the ad (hat tip to our sister blog Off the Bench).
You should have a college degree and a couple years mascot experience at the college or pro level. Gymnastics skills and the ability to do high-flying dunks off a trampoline while wearing a costume is a must. You better be in great shape. And you better be able to fire up a crowd, because without Steve Nash this season suns fans are going to need some entertainment.
You also need to be "proficient in Microsoft Office, Outlook, Excel, Word, PowerPoint and other related computer skills required." Of course. Because a thousand gorillas at a thousand typewriters is how they create the game night programs. (Actually, you probably have to keep up the Gorilla's own web site.)
Anyway, I somehow though a few of my readers here would think they could go ape… sorry, that was too easy. But if you apply, good luck.

Wrong Ape…
'It started just before 6:30 p.m. local time, police said. The Suns Gorilla at the event, Robert Woolf, who is not the same Suns Gorilla who performs at games, was at Dave & Buster's with other Suns employees, police said.'

|Effects of exchange rate changes on investment: a study with U.S. firm level panel data
|Lee, Seung Won, 1968-
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|In this paper I investigate the effects of exchange rate changes on firm investment through the export channel and imported input channel using U.S. manufacturing firm level data for 1998-2007. For this study, I create a 'small' sample, where the export ratio is 'export to sales ratio' obtained from financial statements, and a 'large' sample using industry level 'export to shipment ratio' as a proxy for the 'export to sales ratio'. Considering the possible dynamic panel bias problem in the empirical model, I use the 'difference' GMM and the 'system' GMM for the econometric methods. The findings of my study are as follows: appreciation (depreciation) of domestic currency reduces (increases) firm investment through the exports channel. Also appreciation (depreciation) of the domestic currency increases (reduces) firm investment through the imported input channel. Firms with low markup rates are more sensitive in their investment responses to the movement in exchange rate changes both in terms of the exports channel and imported input channel. Low cash flow firms are more sensitive in terms of investment responses to the exchange rate changes than high cash flow firms. Also smaller firms are more responsive in their investments to exchange rate changes than larger firms. The findings on the role of cash flow and firm size indicate that U.S. firms are exposed to widespread financial constraints. With regard to the role of leverage, overall estimation results imply that leverage does not affect the relationship between the exchange rate changes and firm investment. In most of the results in this paper, the coefficients associated with the export channel are more significant than those of the imported input channel. This suggests that firms' responses to the movement of exchange rates are more sensitive through the export channel than through the imported input channel.

Egypt army ousts Morsi, new leader to be sworn in
Some of Morsi's Islamist backers, tens of thousands of whom took to the streets in recent days, have vowed to fight to the end, although he urged everyone "to adhere to peacefulness and avoid shedding blood of fellow countrymen."
"Down with the rule of the military!" some of them chanted after el-Sissi's speech, reviving a chant used by leftist revolutionaries during the nearly 17 months of direct military rule that followed Mubarak's removal.
El-Sissi warned that the armed forces and police will deal "decisively" with violence.
The army deployed troops, commandos and armored vehicles around the country. In Cairo, they were stationed on bridges over the Nile and at major intersections. They also surrounded rallies being held by Morsi's supporters - an apparent move to contain them.
After the military's 9:20 p.m. announcement, the Brotherhood's TV station went black. Islamist TV networks that have been accused of inciting violence also went off the air and some of their prominent anchors have been arrested, according to security officials speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
Security forces stormed the studio of Al-Jazeera Misr Mubasher and detained the staffers. The station, a branch of Qatari-run Al-Jazeera TV, has maintained a generally pro-Morsi line.
Travel bans were imposed on Morsi and top figures from the Muslim Brotherhood, including its chief Mohammed Badie and his powerful deputy Khairat el-Shater. Officials said security forces had surrounded Badie inside a tourist compound where he had been staying in the Mediterranean coastal city of Marsa Matrouh, near the Libyan border.
A security official said Saad el-Katatni, the head of the Freedom and Justice Party, and Rashad Bayoumi, one of two deputies of the Brotherhood's top leader, were arrested early Thursday. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the press.
El-Haddad, the Brotherhood party's spokesman, said a list has been drawn up of hundreds of Brotherhood members believed wanted for arrest, including himself.
"We don't know the details. The army is not giving details," he told The Associated Press. "It is a full-fledged coup and it is turning into a bloody one too. They are arresting everybody."
Police shot dead six Islamists who opened fire on Marsa Matrouh's police headquarters as they drove past. Morsi supporters tried to storm a police station in the southern city of Minya, but where battled back by police, killing three, while other Islamists destroyed cars and shops and threw stones at a church in the nearby city of Deir Mawas, while police fired tear gas at them. Police and armed Morsi supporters also battled in the southern city of Assiut, another Islamist stronghold.
Nearly 50 people have been killed in clashes between Morsi supporters and opponents since Sunday.
Morsi took office vowing to move beyond his roots in the Muslim Brotherhood, but his presidency threw the country into deep polarization. Those who took to the streets this week say he lost his electoral legitimacy because he tried to give the Brotherhood and Islamist allies a monopoly on power, pushed through a constitution largely written by his allies and mismanaged the country's multiple crises.
Morsi and his allies say the opposition never accepted their appeals for dialogue - seen by opponents as empty gestures - and that Mubarak loyalists throughout the government sabotaged their attempts to bring change.
A major question now is whether the Brotherhood and other Islamists will push back against the new, military-installed system or can be drawn into it.

Inmate lawsuit against major beer makers thrown out | News
The $1 billion federal lawsuit that inmates at the Idaho State Correctional Institution filed against national beer and wine companies alleging that alcohol led to their crimes and "caused them to become incarcerated for a great portion of their lives" has been thrown out.
U.S. Magistrate Court Judge Ronald Bush wrote in his decision that "manufacturers have no duty to warn in the manner alleged in the Complaint, because it is commonly known to the public that alcohol poses an obvious danger - encompassing many different subcategories of danger - to those who choose to consume it."
A civil suit was filed December 10, 2012 by Keith A. Brown and co-plaintiffs Jeremy J. Brown, Cory A. Baugh, Woodrow J. Grant and Steven T. Thompson. All are current inmates, while Baugh is a former inmate.
Each alleged to have starting drinking as a youth and to have become an alcoholic. Together, they claimed the companies failed to warn them that consuming alcohol can be habit-forming or addictive, "with the risk of causing far-reaching personal injuries and other harm, including lengthy periods of incarceration," according to court documents.
The lawsuit named several major brewers: Miller Brewing Company, Anheuser-Busch Company, Adolph Coors Company, Brown-Furman Company, American Brands Incorporated, Pepsi-Cola, RJR Nabisco, Gallo's Winery (Ernest Gallo and Julio Gallo).
The defendants were seeking $700 million in compensatory damages and $300 million in punitive damages, as well as injunctive relief in the form of a new label to be required upon all alcoholic beverages warning that alcohol is habit-forming and addictive, and a judicial declaration that alcohol is habit-forming and addictive.
Judge Bush said in his decision that "manufacturers' efforts to persuade the public to purchase their products by using enticing alcoholic beverage advertisements do not mask the obvious dangers of consuming alcohol and do not give rise to a higher duty of the manufacturers of alcohol. Modern society has elected to permit alcohol as a legal substance available to consumers, albeit with restrictions upon age, amount, and location. In so doing, society has placed responsibility in legislative bodies to regulate the manufacture, sale, and use of alcohol, and to define the legal consequences of drinking alcohol."
For these reasons, Bush says, "the Court will not recognize a common law duty different from or beyond that already put in place by state and federal legislatures. Consequently, Defendants' Motion to Dismiss is granted. Plaintiff's Complaint is dismissed with prejudice, without opportunity to amend, because the Court has determined that amendment would be futile.

PORTLAND -- Shoes are meant to be practical and stylish. But most don't do much for your posture or comfort.
Ask anyone who spends the day working on their feet. The insole is an afterthought for most shoemakers.
But now, a local start-up believes it's found the right fit with a promise to get you walking tall.
Shoe companies are great at making shoes but they're not great at making insoles, said Christopher Buck of Align Footwear.
Buck said the insole is the first place shoe makers cut costs.
Eighty percent of the population has excessive pronation, he said.
That's when your ankle rotates. It means most of us are walking like ducks.
What happens is your not carrying your weight in your skeletal structure. That's why you have fatigue in your knees, your hips your backs, said Buck.
After decades of research, Buck and his team believe they have found the answer to help realign the foot.
We control the hindfoot which controls the mid and forefoot, Buck said.
This allows the foot to move properly.
The company's insole product landed feet-first just a few weeks ago, available on the web only so far.
Buck is working with some of the country's largest shoemakers, hoping to convince them to incorporate Align Footwear technology into their products.

Rising Sun Farms -
After ten years of college coupled with seven years in big business, it became clear that there was more to life than a good job. In 1976, Elizabeth signed on as a chef on ocean racing yachts. This provided a way to travel to ports throughout the world and shop fresh markets offering a variety of exotic ingredients. Elizabeth soon became well known within the circle of yacht racers for menus using the freshest ingredients and in particular, fresh herbs.
As word of her culinary creations and status as a chef traveled with the winds, Elizabeth began making and selling gallons of pesto sauces to other yachts.In 1980, Elizabeth met her husband Richard, a ship captain in the West Indies, and together they continued to sail around the world. As their family grew, they needed to finally drop anchor and put down roots, and so began their search for a healthy locale to raise a family.
They chose a remote pristine farm in southern Oregon overlooking the beautiful Cascade Mountains. The land brought them exciting opportunities along with unique challenges. As they learned more about their new mountain valley home, they came upon the perfect endeavor for the hot, dry climate…growing herbs!

The outdoor patio gets packed during lunch and on warm evenings. A contemporary French menu—beef tartare, sous vide duck egg and confit hash, braised beef cheeks, cocoa nib éclair—reads like a culinary retelling of An American in Paris.

Senior BJP leader Vijay Jolly has urged the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission to immediately announce its new power tariff order to provide relief to the common man in the city.
Stating that the DERC was not bound to follow the directive of the Delhi Government, Mr. Jolly complimented the Solicitor General of India for giving the legal go ahead to the DERC on the matter.
"It may be recalled that the Sheila Dikshit-led Delhi Government had issued directions under Section 108 of the Electricity Act, 2003, and had asked the DERC not to go ahead with its tariff announcement just a day before it was due. The Solicitor General has now held the directive of the Government as 'ultra vires and void'. The DERC being a statutory independent body alone is empowered to take and announce its quasi- judicial decisions and orders," added Mr. Jolly.
The former legislator alleged that the State Government had intervened and stopped the Regulatory Commission from announcing new reduced power tariff rates at the behest of private power distribution companies in Delhi, who are mounting pressure for a 20 per cent hike in power rates.
"But the latest advise of the Solicitor General is a direct indictment of the Government ," he added.

3 killed, 20 injured in Argentina bus crash
More News from Agence France-Presse
BUENOS AIRES – A bus full of young people returning from a birthday outing flipped over Sunday and killed three people, injuring another 20, near the Argentine city of Rosario, authorities said.
The dead were a four-year-old girl, an 11-year old boy and a 24-year-old man, officials said.
The bus driver in the deadly accident, 400 kilometers (250 miles) north of the capital, was apparently trying to pass another vehicle when the crowded bus flipped over, witnesses said.

United win overshadowed by Suarez-Evra spat
GLASGOW, Scotland (AP) - Celtic maintained its four-point lead in the Scottish Premier League thanks to a 1-0 win over Inverness. This was Celtic's 17th straight win in domestic competition.
Given the lead by Joe Ledley's 16th-minute goal, Celtic was reduced to 10 men when defender Daniel Majstorovic was shown a straight red card for a foul on Jonny Hayes in the 60th. Inverness also finished the game a man short after Steve Williams' ejection in the 77th minute.
Second-place Rangers remained close to their Glasgow rival, winning 4-1 at last-place Dunfermline on goals by David Healy, Lee McCulloch, Sone Aluko and Salim Kerkar.

9 judges charged with Philly traffic ticket fixing
The indictment also charges Singletary with lying to the FBI and three judges with lying to the grand jury.
Other defendants include sitting judges Michael J. Sullivan, Michael Lowry and Fortunato N. Perri Sr.; suspended Traffic Court Judge Robert Mulgrew; former Traffic Court Judges Thomasine Tynes and Singletary; and former traffic court director William Hird, who retired last year after the investigation broke.
Perri, a senior judge and a longtime fixture at the court, accepted free car repairs, towing, seafood and videos in exchange for help with traffic tickets, the indictment charged.
"When you call, I move, brother, believe me. I move everybody," he told Henry P. Alfano, a junkyard owner and strip club landlord who provided some of the freebies, the indictment said.
It was not clear who was representing either man, or some of the other defendants. Lowry's lawyer, Michael Schwartz, declined to comment.
Court workers should have been trained in ethics and warned that new policies were being adopted, said defense lawyer Gregory Pagano, who represents Hird.
"It's a shame. None of these people were on the take here. Not a person took a single dime. Billy Hird was doing his job as he was taught to do it, and the way it was being done for almost 100 years, really," Pagano said. "They've got to take the fall for everyone who's come before them. ... It's very unfair."
Pennsylvania Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi, a Republican from the Philadelphia suburbs who plans to introduce legislation abolishing traffic court, called it an institution "with a multi-generational tradition of dysfunction" and predicted Thursday's indictment will accelerate consideration of the bill.
"Traffic Court is not worth saving," he declared.
No other county in Pennsylvania has a dedicated traffic court. Traffic offenses outside Philadelphia are typically handled by district judges who preside over a wide range of criminal and civil matters.
Rubinkam reported from northeastern Pennsylvania.

Charlie Coles has finally called it a career.
Miami-Ohio's head man, one of the more likable guys in the industry, announced his retirement moments after his team was knocked out of the MAC tournament Monday night.
Coles replaced Herb Sendek back in 1996 and was in the final year of his contract. He was 70 years old, but it was the numerous health issues that may have ultimately caused him to retire.
He had a heart attack in 1986 while at Central Michigan, collapsed on the court during a MAC tourney game in 1998 and underwent bypass surgery a decade later. Recently, Coles was in the hospital for a couple days due to a virus.
Coles played at Miami and was an assistant under Sendek. He coached a Wally Szczerbiak-led team to the Sweet 16 in 1999.
Coles leaves with a 266-226 mark at Miami.
