SEATTLE (AP) — For the past 18 years, the Boeing 777 has been known as one of the safest commercial planes in the air.
The twin-engine wide-bodied jet had only one major incident before a 777 crashed in San Francisco Saturday, killing two passengers.
That came on Jan. 17, 2008, when a British Airways 777 lost power and crashed short of the runway at London's Heathrow Airport, The Seattle Times reported.
A landing gear collapsed and a strut pierced the passenger floor. Apart from one broken leg there were no serious injuries. Investigators found a buildup of ice in the fuel lines had caused a power failure.
Boeing says since entering service in June 1995, the long-range plane has flown about 5 million flights, accumulating more than 18 million flight hours.
"The 777 has a fantastic record," said Tom Haueter, who retired last year from the National Transportation Safety Board, where he was the head of aviation accident investigations.
Saturday's crash at San Francisco International Airport of an Asiana Airlines flight from Seoul, South Korea, "bears an eerie similarity" to the 2008 crash, said John Nance.
, a veteran airline pilot who lives in Washington state and serves as an aviation expert for ABC News.
Nance said the crew of the British Airway flight got no response when they pushed the plane to full throttle at an altitude of 600 feet as they approached the airport.
On Saturday, the Asiana flight was coming in "too low and too slow," indicating a possible flight-control problem, Nance said, basing his observations on reports the plane hit the breakwater and that its nose was pointed high in the air at the time of the crash.
Haueter, the former NTSB official, told The Associated Press he was doubtful the Asiana crash will be linked to the same icing problem that caused the British Airways accident since changes were made after that crash to prevent further incidents.

Editorial reviews
Another high-spirited mystery-adventure by a popular English author. Her erodible children in incredible adventure provide sure pull with her readers. Here three visiting cousins, with their defiant cousin George (who wont be called Georgiana) find treasure on a rocky island in the ruins and underground passages of an ancient castle. There are plenty of thrills, - an old ship cast up from the sea, a treasure map, a breath-taking chase - set in the sunbright freshness of the sea air. Interwoven with the lively adventure there's an unobtrusive subplot as a lonely child, headed for a sullen, negative maturity, fearful of her strangely moody father, gradually learns that sharing experiences is more fun than defiant solitude. And that her father's irritability is rooted in worry over financial insecurity for his loved ones. The children are generous, likable - and have plenty of initiative and daring, even when dealing with hardened criminals. Some phases of the story are wholly English; the style is awkward, uncertain. But the pace of story carries one right along to an exciting climax and a satisfying ending. (Kirkus Reviews)

DENR to allow rock quarry inside Banahaw buffer zone
LUCENA CITY—Rock quarrying inside the 1-kilometer buffer zone leading to Mount Banahaw's protected area in Sariaya, Quezon, might turn out good for villagers living downstream, an official of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) said.
Salud Pangan, park superintendent for Banahaw and the Mt. San Cristobal Protected Landscape, said in an interview on Sunday that quarried rocks had been impounded naturally inside the buffer zone on the upper slope of the mountain and could be dangerous to those living below it.
"If the stocks of boulders will not be removed, it will pose serious threats to lowlanders in the event of days of strong rains and flash floods," Pangan said.
She said, however, that there should be very strict monitoring of the mining activities and all government conditions must be observed.
In May, two licensed quarry operators have requested the Protected Area Management Board (PAMB) to allow them to mine inside the buffer zone in Barangay (village) Sampaloc II.
"They have an application with the Provincial Mining Regulatory Board (PMRB) to operate inside the buffer zone. But before they will be given a permit by the PMRB, they should first secure a permit from the PAMB," Pangan explained.
The park official also declared support to a proposed multisectoral investigation into quarry operations in central parts of the province, including Sariaya, as planned by Rep. Vicente Alcala of Quezon's second district.
Alex Tolentino, head of Alcala's district office here, said the lawmaker was also concerned over the reported return of illegal sand mining along the coast of Tayabas Bay, also in Sariaya, which belongs to the second district.
But Janet Geneblazo-Buelo, Quezon public information officer, has refuted media reports on the return of a beach quarry along the shoreline.
A recent joint investigation by the DENR and the provincial government showed that the receding coastline was caused by "natural phenomena" and not by small-scale sand mining, she said.
A coastal resident said it could not have been a natural occurrence since it was only happening in Sariaya's coastline. The Tayabas Bay coastline is more than 100 kilometers long, from San Juan, Batangas, up to the tip of the Bondoc Peninsula area, he said.
The resident requested anonymity for fear of retaliation from village officials who supported the "natural phenomena" findings.

In the end, we want to make it easy for people to find and use modern, stylish, efficient and eco-friendly products in their everyday lives. We believe the information and products we find speak for themselves.

The soaring melodies and crisp earthy tones on No Nations anchor the breathy vocal interplay of the husband and wife duo of Adam Kittredge and Antonia Freybe-Smith. Guitarist Piers Henwood (a cousin of Kittredge), bassist Jocelyn Greenwood and drummer Luke Renshaw handily perform both the subtle and the eloquent on No Nations. Produced by Neil Osborne of 54*40, mixed by Malcolm Burn (Bob Dylan, Daniel Lanois, Emmylou Harris) and mastered by Greg Calbi (Talking Heads, Interpol, Modest Mouse), the atmosphere is layered with modern rock textures. Songs such as "I Should Be Born" and "Heading For Nowhere" carry the torch and continue to populate playlists across the nation including tastemaker stations such as KCRW in Los Angeles and WXPN in Philadelphia.
A broad consciousness navigates the artistry of Jets Overhead musically and visually. Known for their scenery driven videos, the band took an opportunity on a recent tour in China to shoot a clip for the title track. Directed by Caleb Beyers and shot in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, the visuals of the Far East provide a fitting compliment to the lyrical imagery of No Nations which can be seen at www.jetsoverhead.com and at video sharing outlets such as Vimeo.
No Nations is the follow-up to Jet Overhead's acclaimed debut, Bridges, released in 2006, which earned the band a nomination for "New Group of the Year" at the 2007 JUNO Awards (Canada's Grammy equivalent). It was with Bridges that Jets Overhead instituted a voluntary online purchase model (later used by Radiohead) whereby fans could download the entire record and choose the amount, if any, they would pay.
With the new album, the band took a slightly different approach and released a single song, the title track, free-of-charge at www.jetsoverhead.com under a Creative Commons license. The license permits fans to use the music for any non-commercial purpose – remixing, web playlists, home videos, etc. This strategy echoes their collective vision of putting creative ideas into the air and letting them take their own flight.
On the tour front, Jets Overhead kicked off a series of shows to promote the new album at Bonnaroo Music Festival in Tennessee, and then showcased their hypnotic interplay in a packed, intimate room at the Hotel Caf in L.A. An extensive fall tour of North America is being planned. Previously, the group has toured with Tegan & Sara, The Dandy Warhols, The Stills and Broken Social Scene.
All Music.com – "No Nations, is a pleasant, gently trippy throwback to the '90s shoegaze scene filled with waves of guitars, dreamily hazy vocals, and sweetly sung melodies."
CitizenDick.org - "No Nations has a solid balance of fist pumping and navel gazing… an album that is worth your attention."
Examiner.com – "…ambient rock that effortlessly floats from the speakers."
FazerMagazine.com – "…expect to be impressed with No Nations – an album that is getting better and better the more I play it."
SpectrumCulture.com – "Heading for Nowhere" is full of coma-inducing hooks and dreamtime lyrics."

2006 BEST Tasting Menu
Tasting menus are so in vogue that it seems only a matter of time before McDonalds rolls out a McTasting. But at Pigalle, chef Marc Orfaly's five- and seven-course menus are anything but watered-down. Each course hits the high notes of his exquisite French fusion—butter-poached lobster in Thai broth, duck confit with Kung Pao vegetables and kumquats—all for far less than you'd pay if you ordered à la carte. Now that's what we call a Happy Meal.

Great kids harness in a great look
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
My kids were getting so sick of the full body Petzl harness (although that was a very safe alternative for them when they were smaller). They were super excited and fired up about an adult looking and performance harness. They find it comfortable and I find it safe.

National Guard Border Troops Moving On
Released on Sun, Jun 29, 2008
June 2008 marks the two-year anniversary and the end of Operation Jump Start, a joint program by the Border Patrol and Department of Defense. Yet, the persistence of undocumented immigration indicates that Operation Jump Start is anything but a success. Instead, it has been a costly and ineffective approach to border control that was incorporated into a larger, self-defeating strategy of enforcement-without-reform.

- Release Date: Jul 13, 1990
- Critic Score

Delightfully inventive, consistently funny, clever but not slick, brisk yet never antic, Quick Change is the perfect cinematic date - a summer film for all seasons, the kind of sharp-edged picture that gives lightweight a good name. [14 Jul 1990, p.C3]
The comedy of Quick Change is city-dweller humor, honed to a fine edge and site-specific to New York because the Big Apple is more or less on its knees, civility-wise. All it needs is a lethally funny comedy like this to give it the coup de grace. [13 Jul 1990, p.1]
Franklin and Murray manages to live up to the demands of a thriller without sacrificing character to frenetic pacing, and the film exudes a kind of sweetness that never threatens to become either sticky or synthetic.
Quick Change is a funny but not an inspired comedy. It has two directors - Howard Franklin and Bill Murray - and I wonder if that has anything to do with its inability to be more than just efficiently entertaining.
It's a particularly great pleasure to encounter Quick Change, a wonderfully loose and graceful character comedy. [13 Jul 990, p.C]
What's surprising about Quick Change, particularly in light of his more recent mega-budget efforts, is its witty affability. [15 Jul 1990, p.34]
Quick Change unfolds cleverly, keeping the audience in the dark on the robbery plot throughout the film's opening reel.
Bill Murray delivers a smart, sardonic and very funny valentine to the rotten Apple in Quick Change. Pic became Murray's directing debut after he and Franklin became too attached to the project to bring anyone else in. Material, based on Jay Cronley's book, is neither ambitious nor particularly memorable, but it's brought off with a sly flair that makes it most enjoyable.
Behind the lens Murray has an uneven touch (or perhaps his co-director does), and "Quick Change" is given to slow moments and miscalculations. But in front of the camera, he is as wonderfully acerbic as ever, equal parts anger and hurt feelings as he grapples with the rot of the Apple, the roar of subway, the smell of the crowds.
Quick Change starts out fast and loose — it gets the audience primed for a ripsnorting caper comedy. Yet almost nothing that follows is as clever, as surprising, or as casually anarchic as that nifty opening sequence. Murray himself served as codirector, and though he doesn't do anything terribly wrong, the movie lacks comic zest.
As a screenplay -- as a story -- Change is a silly mess. Its direction is also perfunctory, a bland rendition of the usual chain of Hollywood events. But the main reason to watch Change is for Murray, of course. And no matter what formulaic claptrap is around him, he always redeems it with something comic.
As a performer, Murray moves through the film with a lovely doomed aplomb. And his quick verbal wit is almost enough to pull Quick Change off. But as a director, his inexperience costs him. His camera isn't as quick as his tongue. [13 Jul 1990, p.29]
Don't look for any belly laughs, but Quick Change will help you put on a happy face. [13 Jul 1990, p. 4D]
Mr. Murray and his co-director, Howard Franklin, who adapted Jay Cronley's novel for the screen, succeed mainly in illuminating what made them want to direct the material. At least this picture struggles to emit a few gasps of fresh air as it goes down. [19 Jul 1990, p.A8]
In films like Quick Change, he is bogged down by scripts that don't begin to match his comic imagination. Even though he chose and developed Quick Change himself, Bill Murray deserves better than this clunky, stereotypical comedy.

Gay men and straight women: would you date someone who identifies as male but presents very feminine?
I would date women but there was this guy I was in a club like thing and I found him annoying because he did everything to get attention. He shaved half his head and had quite feminine clothing and a Metallica belt. It wasn't the style I found annoying with the makeup and stuff but it was how he would try seem like Angus young or something. (We were in this junior rock school thing) I don't mind when Angus young does it because he has the skill of playing guitar while spinning about. The kid that annoyed me would play riffs that didn't exist in the song or not a you at all while people don't look.
Well, a guy I had a relationship with loved wearing high heels. I don't really judge, if the guy is nice and we get along really well, I wouldn't let eyeliner and dresses (every now and then) put a dent in our relationship.

Glutathione functions to scavenge oxidants or xenobiotics by covalently binding them and transporting the resulting metabolites through an adenosine 5′-triphosphate-dependent transport system. It has been reported that the intracellular concentration of glutathione decreases in diabetes mellitus. In order to elucidate the physiological significance and the regulation of anti-oxidants in diabetic patients, changes in the activity of the glutathione-synthesizing enzyme, γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase, and transport of thiol [S-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)glutathione] were studied in erythrocytes from patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes and K562 cells cultured with 27 mmol/l glucose for 7 days. The activity of γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase, the concentration of glutathione, and the thiol transport were 77%, 77% and 69%, respectively in erythrocytes from diabetic patients compared to normal control subjects. Treatment of patients with an antidiabetic agent for 6 months resulted in the restoration of γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase activity, the concentration of glutathione, and the thiol transport. A similar impairment of glutathione metabolism was observed in K562 cells with high glucose levels. The cytotoxicity by a xenobiotic (1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene) was higher in K562 cells with high glucose than in control subjects (50% of inhibitory concentration. 300±24 Μmol/l vs 840±29 Μmol/l, p<0.01). Expression of γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase protein was augmented in K562 cells with high glucose, while enzymatic activity and expression of mRNA were lower than those in the control subjects. These results suggest that inactivation of glutathione synthesis and thiol transport in diabetic patients increases the sensitivity of the cells to oxidative stresses, and these changes may lead to the development of some complications in diabetes mellitus.

Rivera, Pettitte, undecided about whether they'll trash Yankee ownership payroll goals and play in 2014
Originally written on IT IS HIGH, IT IS FAR, IT IS caught | Last updated 11/16/14
Today, Andy Pettitte and Mariano Rivera announced to a gaggle of Gammonites - separately - that neither has decided whether he'll play in 2014.You know how every now and then a public figure says something that makes a lot of sense? Well, that's how Andy and Mariano were today. It seems a little to early to be talking about 2014, but maybe that's just me. Next year, Mariano would be 44, and Andy, 41. They're practically old enough for the Early Bird at Denny's, that is, if they're not restricted to creamed corn.And amid the anticipation of Mariano and Andy's looming life decision, you have to wonder what Yankee owners Hal and Hank Steinbrenner were thinking. Because if Mariano has a great season in 2013 and then decides to come back next year, that's a $15 million contract that has to be renewed. And if Andy does well this year, well, make it a full $28 million jolt to the 2014 payroll - the one the Steins have ruled must fall within $189 million.In other words, the richest owners i...

Collins' boys soccer team, ranked No. 23 in a poll of state coaches, was coming off its first loss of the season when Whitefield Academy came to town Tuesday.
The Titans showed they could bounce back, pounding the visitors, 10-1, the fourth time this year they have won by five goals or more.
A feast by any other name would taste as sweet, as Shelby County Chamber of Commerce officials will set out to prove this year.
The chamber's main fund-raiser, now in its 24th year, will have a new name – Tastes and Tunes – when it rolls around in September.
And not only the name will be new, but many other aspects of the event will be changed – for the better, Chamber Executive Directory Shelley Goodwin said.
Collins High School's football team once again coupled a bend-but-don't-break defense with an explosive offense and came away with a 27-7 Class 4A District-4 victory at LaRue County Friday night.
The Titans (4-1, 1-1) yielded a touchdown to the Hawks (2-2, 1-1) on the their first drive of the game, but then held their hosts scoreless the rest of the way while scoring four consecutive TDs – the last three on passes from senior quarterback Branden Cresap.
Shelby County held leads of 13-0 and 19-14 in the first half of its high school football game at Bullitt East on Friday night, but ultimately the Rockets lost, 21-19, in a Class 4A District-4 game marked by turnovers.
The Rockets (0-5, 0-3) opened quickly on a pair of touchdown runs from senior running back Quentin Cottrell, but the Chargers (3-2, 1-0) rallied with three touchdowns in the first half, including two off turnover returns.
After combining for 40 points before halftime, both teams went scoreless after the intermission.

A Shelby County firefighter, Robert Purvis, was transported to Jewish Hospital Shelbyville, where he was treated and released for a minor knee injury. He is fine and is already back on duty, Fire Chief Bobby Cowherd said.
Homeowner Barbara Rogers was also taken to the hospital with chest pains, but she also has been released.

Family owned cottage on beautiful Lake Leelanau. This knotty pine cottage has a cozy, up North feel! Located on the southwest end of picturesque Lake Leelanau. The sunrises are amazing. A great place to unwind and relax. 40 ft. of hard, sandy bottom lake frontage, with great views from the kitchen, living room, enclosed porch and wooden deck. 2 bedrooms, 1st has a full size bed (linens not provided) 2nd bedroom has a bunk bed, full size bed on the bottom, twin on top. 1 bath with a stand up shower (towels not provided) a blow dryer is for your convenience. Fully equipped kitchen, gas stove. snack bar to eat breakfast or lunch, dinning table located on enclosed porch.
Deck with picnic table and chairs, lawn chairs also provided. Great to enjoy a morning cup of coffee and watch the sunrise. Stone grill available to grilling, fire pit by the lake to make memories while toasting marshmallows! Bring your boat and tie it up to the dock. A free public boat ramp is less that 1/4 mile away making it very convenient to launch your water toys. Kayak is available for your enjoyment.
This waterfront cottage is just a short drive from Lake Michigan, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park, shopping at Glen Arbor, Empire, Leland, Lake Leelanau, Suttons Bary and Traverse City. Golfing nearby at several courses. Two Casinos, Leelanau Sands Casino in Suttons Bay and Turtle Creek in Williamsburg.
Lake Leelanau is an all sports lake for boating, swimming, water skiing, fishing. Sandy bottom, shallow shore line with great swimming for kids. You can take your boat across the lake to bar, restaurants or take the boat a relaxing few miles to the town of Lake Leelanau, Leland or take a slow ride up the Cedar River where you will see some amazing nature, turtle, deer, beavers. Gas service for your boat is available at a couple locations on the lake.
Keywords: Lake Leelanau Lakefront Cottage
Lovely small cottage just right for 2-4 people. Nice yard and perfect for small children. Nice sandy bottom where you can walk right down to the water. Parents of owner live next door and are very helpful and friendly. Cottage equipped with all amenities for a wonderful time at the lake. Enjoyed the kayak that comes with the cottage.
Our 2 yr old grandson loved this place as he could walk right down to the water and play in the sand.
We recommend it to anyone who enjoys beautiful sunrises and fun in the water.
This was a nice little place to stay. We had four adults and two kids and never felt cramped. The cabin was clean and comfortable. The yard was nice and leads right down to the water. We spent many hours floating in the water during the day and had a fire in the fire pit every night. The water has a very gradual depth and is perfect for young ones. We also brought a boat and were able to pull it right up near the dock and use a mooring post provided by the neighbors who are also the owners parents.
The town of Cedar was perfect also. There's a tavern/restaurant called the Cedar Inn. They were always friendly and had decent food. The Rustic Inn, right on your way from the cottage to town, had fantastic family style breakfast! I mean fantastic! There is also a gas station/market in town, Buntings, that has everything you need. The taco stand on the south edge of town was great too, perfect for one of those days were your swimming and everyone is getting hungry and nobody is cleaned up yet. A sack of tacos, chips, guac and salsa will put the seal on a great day!
The Sleeping Bear Dunes are a must, along with Leland. Of course a day in Traverse City will make everyone happy too. I would also recommend a winery tour, we made up our own and the wines were great. The Boathouse Vinyards had the best grounds to sit and enjoy your tastings, right on the water with several adirondack chairs that you can move about.
The only negative that I can come up with is that the fishing was less than spectacular. Lake Lelanau is big, and maybe we just didn't know the best way to catch fish there. MY brother in law and I were basically shut out, we've both been fishing our whole lives. My niece did catch a four pound bass though, us men were both proud of her but she wouldn't share her secret.
Have fun, you'll love it!
The cabin was well appointed and tastefully decorated. The walleye fishing was great! We especially enjoyed the helpful neighbors. The cabin's location was perfect for us, half way between Sleeping Bear Dunes and Traverse City. The local grocery in Cedar had everything we needed, and we used the stone bbq and fire ring. One night we stayed up until 1:30 a.m. watching the stars with no interference from city lights..awesome. Be sure to check out the Cherry Wine from Bel Lago winery nearby, it is incredible with chocolate cake or brownies. We hope to stay here again.
What a cozy little cottage on beautiful Lake Leelanau! We loved it :) Thank you for letting us stay in this little gem :)
My husband and I just returned with our 11-month-old daughter from a week-long stay at this cottage. It was nothing short of amazing. The weather was beautiful and the place was perfect. It's clean, simple and has everything you need. There was plenty of room for the three of us. We set our daughter's playpen up in the second bedroom beside the double bed (show in the pictures) and it just fit. There are three beds, two are double-sized. The mattress in the non-bunk bed room is quite soft but the other one is better. The kitchen is well set up and there's a charcoal grill outside. We bought delicious food from Oryana in Traverse City and had lots of memorable meals sitting in the shade outside the cottage. The lot is very deep (you could play bocce ball!) and has a perfect entry into the water for babies. Because of the sandbar, water isn't over your knees for about 25m. The water isn't too cold, especially compared to other lakes in the area. We also enjoyed just hanging out on the dock. The lake was ridiculously quiet (we only saw one or two speedboats go by the entire week, although we noticed a lot of people had jetskis on their docks -- it may get busier later in the season.
The cottage-owner was super relaxed but sent prompt replies in e-mail communication and provided helpful tips, like not to forget our linens and towels (I definitely would have forgotten!). The parents of the cottage owner live year-round next door and they were wonderful. We found it reassuring to know that we could ask them any cottage-related questions we had (e.g., how does one use a charcoal grill?!). The cottages are all relatively close together (at least compared to Ontario cottage country!) but we still felt like we had privacy.
The area around this cottage is fantastic. We adored the taco stand in Cedar and the Cedar General Store. Adorable surrounding towns (Leland's Fishtown is really cool) and don't miss the Sleeping Bear National Park -- the Scenic Drive is a must. North Bar Lake is great and a good way to see a quieter Lake Michigan shore, too. Traverse City is fantastic. I had no idea Michigan had all these great places.
If you're traveling with a little person, you may want to consider bring a few portable child-proofing safety measures, like electrical outlet covers, a gate, or cupboard door latches.
If you're on the fence about this place, I think you should go for it. You won't regret it.
Perfect weather added to an enjoyable stay at this quaint cottage. Tied a tube to the dock and floated away the afternoons. Evenings in the kayak were wonderfully relaxing. The cottage felt quite roomy with two eating areas and a breakfast counter. We played board games on the porch and enjoyed meals on the outdoor deck. Had two bonfires with s'mores lakeside - yum. Kitchen fully stocked with everything you might need. Rustic fun!
PS - don't miss Pierce Stocking Drive, sunsets at Good Harbor and eating at Boonedocks

Ft. Meade commander sees more growth after BRAC
In a column for Federal News Radio, Ft. Meade Commander Col. Dan Thomas says, "By this fall, the official worker population of Fort Meade will have grown to more than 48,000. This is 13,000 more personnel than we had three years ago - you do the math: if BRAC growth is 5,400, who are all these other people?"

|Lions say test show Bush isn't injured long term
|Written by Admin
|Monday, 16 September 2013 09:11
Bush took a helmet to his left knee in the first half Sunday at Arizona and played only briefly in the third quarter, leading to the Lions losing 25-21.
Schwartz says Bush was on his way to contributing a lot.
He accounted for 69 yards of offense in two-plus quarters against the Cardinals after having 191 yards from scrimmage in an opening-week win over Minnesota in his Detroit debut.
The Lions definitely missed Bush against Arizona, where they were held scoreless on offense in the second half. Bush told reporters after the game he didn't think the injury was serious.

Specialty growth funds invest primarily in companies within a specific sector or economic area (e.g. technology or life sciences). The individual securities in these funds are generally selected for their growth potential. In other words, they share growth fund characteristics.
Specialty growth funds are particularly appealing to people who believe there is an underlying trend that will drive performance in a sector. For example, many people believe longer life spans will drive growth in the health care industry. That trend could last for an indefinite time period.
Meanwhile, the overall economy will undergo cycles of growth and decline. It is difficult to predict how health care, or some other sector, will perform during these cycles.
An underlying trend may cause a specialty growth fund to outperform the stock market over time. But, keep in mind, your bet on this area of the economy typically carries more volatility than a broadly diversified growth fund. Don't get on the rollercoaster if you aren't prepared for the ride. Invest in this type of fund only if you believe the sector is poised to perform well over a long time period.
Specialty growth funds offer concentrated exposure to a select area of the market. They are typically more aggressive than growth or core funds. Specialty growth funds are best-positioned as a complement to a well-diversified portfolio.
Janus specialty growth funds cover two broad and highly-dynamic areas of the world economy: technology and life sciences. We invest in companies we believe are:

An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.
Diversification and asset allocation do not assure a profit or eliminate the risk of experiencing investment losses. Investment decisions should be based on an individual's own goals, time horizon and tolerance for risk.
There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing.

I want to present you with this picture regarding NVidia hardware reliability

I want to present you with this picture regarding NVidia hardware reliability
As a result of this issue:
This stack has grown one item:
Yes, those are my dead NVidia cards, all from one single machine.
The counter-"stack" of cards that survive for any length of time in 24/7 is limited to two 240 GTs, one of which has the crappy fan these have blowing on it's last pipe, and a passively cooled 6200 which never got real use out of it (was idling as a second video card in a three-head system).
Of course the surviving cards are all the cheap ones, the expensive one all bite the dust.
In no particular order this stack has:
A 6600gt, my first video card that I bought with dual-link DVI. At the time my machine didn't have a 30" display, I just wanted to be prepared, and switch to 30" without downtime. As events unfolded, not only did this thing die before I ever used dual-link DVI, it took down the whole machine (bus lockup). Nice to debug, too, good scare when there's no post. Bought this one new when it was full price.
A 7800GTX which I actually did have when I switched from 24" to 30" and needed dual-link DVI>. Payed good money for that one, so that I get good cooling and a quality card, right? Nah. So this one has one dual-link DVI, and it tried to do dual-link (a card with no dual-link won't allow the driver to run, but it had distorted picture when this port was used at 2560x1600, although it was perfectly fine (and still is) for 1920x1200.
I then slammed in the GT 240. Surprisingly, this one never died. Can you believe that? A NVidia card that did not die. Sadly, however, I couldn't use it. It had working dual-link DVI all right, but the second port is VGA. In my triple-head system that meant that I couldn't put the 30" display together with my primary display on the first card. That's bad, because as I bugged earlier, xv (which I prefer to use for video) in the current NVidia drivers is broken, you can only use xv on the first card in a multi-card system. So no, go, this one had to go and as I said the fan was not up to 24/7 operations.
Then came the victim of this issue from this thread:
A 7900 GTX. Expensive, too. Good card. Except for the hangs. Thanks to no official ever showing up in our thread about the interrupt issue to this day I do not know whether I was just having video hangs there or whether harddrive and other interrupts where thrown out too (aka is this a bus hang?). Anyway, dead as a doornail.
Yes I know I should have known better than to trust NVidia, rumors of problems with the 7900 chips were there almost from day one.
The top one with the strange cooler is a dead 6800 Ultra which I threw in for good measure. Although it never took down this system that is supposed to pile up nines of reliability it's still just another dead NVidia card (distorted picture).
So, where does that leave us?
The excellent work that Aaron and Zander are doing on the binary NVidia drivers, and the ally they are in the fight to keep what Xorg names "Zaphod" mode alive, all goes to /dev/null. This crap just doesn't work reliably, hardware-wise.
On top of that nothing is ever done or attempted done about the little problem of optimus support. Not that I would buy a laptop with NVidia chip after this.

Book Release Event in Muncie

Stomping Ground edited by Dr. Darolyn "Lyn Jones and Lauryn Wiseman; Illustrated by Sydney Hellgeth
A stomping ground is a familiar territory, a hangout, a homage. And that's exactly how we want you to feel when you read this collection of memoir essays and poems written collaboratively by Ball State University creative writing students and young writers in the Muncie, Indiana community. We want the words to ring true, to make you feel like you are at home.
Creative Writing in the Community (English 409) is an immersive learning course at Ball State University where creative writing students meet with young writers in the community to teach creative writing techniques and to write and create a collaborative text. These young community partners come from elementary schools throughout the greater Muncie community. This semester was unique because students also engaged in the book publishing process, creating a new press for the course, 409 Press.
Our essential and guiding element in creating this collection was that it is an honor to be trusted with someone's story. And our role was to honor our young community writer's voices so the rest of the world can hear the poignant, humorous, and brilliant wisdom that only young writers possess.
A discovery that was made during this project is that young writers haven't learned to filter. They don't yet know what society teaches us about not sharing or revealing too much about ourselves. You ask them a question, and they will answer it with brutal honestly. You ask them to create, and they will conjure worlds and images we can't imagine. You ask them to tell you a story, and they will paint every sensory detail with their words.
The book's theme is based around a beautiful metaphor designed by a student in the course, Niki Wilkes, where she compares writing to grabbing a shovel, breaking ground, digging a hole, and discovering treasure. I can't wait for you to read more about how our writers learned to break ground, dig deep, and find the treasure in their own stories.

Born: October 13, 1927
Konitz is sometimes regarded as the preeminent cool jazz saxophonist, because he performed and recorded with Claude Thornhill, Lennie Tristano (both often cited as important cool jazz proponents of the mid 1940s), and with Miles Davis on his epochal Birth of the Cool, which gave the form its name.
Konitz has also been repeatedly noted as one of the few jazz saxophonists of the late 1940s and 1950s who did not seem imitative of the massively influential Charlie Parker.
In the early 1950s, Konitz recorded and toured with Stan Kenton's orchestra.
In 1961, he recorded Motion with Elvin Jones on drums and Sonny Dallas on bass. This spontaneous session, widely regarded as a classic in the cool genre, consisted entirely of standards. The loose trio format aptly featured Konitz's unorthodox phrasing and chromaticism....

slowly but surely things have been coming much better for me now and i am able to deal with everything it has to throw at me.
i blocked everything out from the age of 18 til 32, due to the abuse of chemicals but i am so glad i have faced my illness these past 3 years as its been working.
i still have the few bad days, but the longer and older i am getting and more experience with dealing with the flashbacks, and depression etc etc, i can honestly say life is starting to get so much easier for me now.
fight or flight is very common whilst going through post trauma emerald.
i used to go to counselling for about a year then stop because things got very difficult at counselling. once they started to go deeper into my past, the more i ran. fight or flight, but this is a normal reaction emotion.
please stay with your treatment as if not treated properly, the relapses can be so much harder to come back from.
when i used to go then stop, just kept putting things on hold, but that was how i dealt with it, as i wasnt ready. you may also have this, you may not be ready but it really does help.
i am lucky my counsellors were very patient with me, and very willing to always take me back when the time was needed.
37 times in hospital and multiple times in the general hospital with many a thing. but due to alcohol being a depressant and my ignorance towards stopping it til i get better, i just kept drinking and drinking.
i swore blind id never get better, but i am getting better.
i hope and i wish you the very best emerald and i am speaking the truth as someone who can relate x
theres nothing wrong with verbally expressing your feelings.
its better out than in emerald, so much healthier.
im glad you seem to be in bit better form just now.
i hope you are anyways
are you from ireland? or england etc etc
why im asking that is because i was looking to ask you is it freezing with yous tonight?
over here its getting real bad out there. very very cold :/
im glad im all snug in the house here hehe
its great when you know things are getting a little easier at times. it helps with focusing on getting better fully.
one step at a time
i am going to log out very soon, and thankyou for confiding within me tonight, i appreciate the trust you've shown in me x thankyou
