We all would be doomed
From Milwaukee, Madison and beyond, a daily dose of political news and glimpses behind the scenes
An Iowan's take on Gov. Scott Walker's visit
Madison -- The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel provided its own coverage of Gov. Scott Walker's Des Moines speech Thursday night and the speculation it produced that Walker is looking at running for president in 2016. »Read Full Blog Post

Scott Walker the boy Idiot as president????
We all would be doomedHide replies
Aren't we doomed?
RCP: President Obama Job Approval - 48.5%
Average for US presidents - 54%
"One Republican woman mentioned to me afterward that Walker made her think of Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty. That's not a compliment, really. However, others said they thought he was a strong speaker and an attractive potential candidate, based mostly on his Wisconsin resume."
Oh boy -
Iowans should read JS online about WalkerHide replies
Did you read the comment section - Wisconsinites are weighing in.
"A Marquette University law school poll released Tuesday says 51 percent of respondents approve of the way Gov. Scott Walker is doing his job."
ZODIAC - you need to dog deeper into that poll- ole Scooter ain't as like as you think he is.
Weberbeer is so high and drunk he can't even spell.
The notion Walker could even be in the running for President... at any level. Even remote. Shows how empty the GOP tank is. How badly it is in need of a fill up of new ideas.
There is an old saying all politics are local. Hardcore Conservatives can win statewide races. The nation however is shifting away from policies we have tried and watch fail.
If not for fear, The GOP would almost be without an agenda.
I give Walker a point for saying The GOP needs to be more positive.
Saying it and doing it are two different things.
Busting unions and blaming public workers, and predecessors, and other politicians. Not positive.
Rick Perry is undoubtedly a more accomplished politician. With a better record of getting the job done. Texas is about as far at the opposite end of the same job creation spectrum Wisconsin is on, as it can get. You see how far Perry's Presidential bid got.
Oh yes. Personality plays into this.
Funny Scott would even mention Reagan.
Reagan was "Uncle Ronnie" to many of US.
Walker is the "uncle" most people wish would stay home.
Be honest. No one really likes Walker. They just dislike him less than the fear attached to the opposition.
Or they like his agenda. But he is a horrid messenger.
Weasels would chop Walker's face off if it grew on them.
Sorry. He is neither handsome nor inspiring of confidence.
Again, politics being local. Weasels can and do win local (up to statewide) races.
Finally. I was not aware the bar of accomplishment had been reset so low.
Busting unions, cutting taxes, and getting a CC bill through a GOP legislature is hardly an accomplishment.
As his own party begins to question his agenda? His accomplishments such that they are (pathetic) may have already reached an apex.
You might say Obama had no record to run on.
No record can trump a lousy one.
Oh yes. I also think Paul Ryan burned the bridge to WI for a VeeP spot.
In short.
Will he have "Divide and Conquer" as a signature platform policy? Will he express his plans to "drop the bomb" on the US public? Will he develop a secret computer system to circumvent campaign rules? Will he promise to destroy public education, in-favor of a national voucher system? Will he express all of his international experience by pointing-out his one trip to China (to increase a comodity trade that already existed in the state)? On the campaign trail, will he be singing "bomb, bomb bomb...bomb, bomb Iran"?
51% of the people who say Walker is doing a good job must not pay close attention to any credible news sources. Walker thinks he is Moses except that he can't even part his own balding head.
I hope he becomes the foreign ambassador to Equador.
If Tom would have won he would have built a train route from Madison to the Illinois clock tower so his party could flee the state more efficiently.
I hope he runs. The rest of the country will finally get to see what a complete failure/disaster he is.

Walmart may not go the way of RadioShack (RSH) any time soon. But Goldman Sachs says that customers are abandoning the big-box pioneer in droves.
On Tuesday, the investment bank downgraded Walmart (WMT)'s stock to 'Neutral,' saying that big-box stores are losing out to online retailers and stores with more focused inventories.
With $469 billion in annual sales, Walmart isn't quite going out of business, but the retailer has seen sales slip for five straight quarters. Online shopping is clearly hurting the store, as more customers turn to Amazon (AMZN, Tech30) and other merchants for everyday items such as hardware and groceries.
E-commerce is making Walmart's vast breadth of merchandise less appealing to shoppers. Instead, customers are looking for better deals on a more narrow assortment of goods available at stores like Costco (COST) and dollar stores. The bank upgraded Costco's stock to Buy.
Goldman noted that Amazon's move into grocery sales is the biggest threat facing Walmart and a risk to Costco.
Despite the bank's pessimism about big-box retailers, maintained a 'Buy" rating on Target (TGT).

I'm not a fan of Ghetto-Mart, but they always seem busier than Target, so I'm not sure of that last sentence. I will say that Wal-Mart's prices for groceries aren't any lower, and are often higher, than Target or King Soopers in our area. Perhaps their non-food items are lower, though. We try to avoid Wal-Marts for the most part.

Most Helpful First | Newest First
5.0 out of 5 stars Multidiscipinary approach to Creating Change,
James Schroder (Cincinnati, OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The American City: What Works and What Doesn't (Hardcover)
Mr. Garvin addresses the key factors that actually create effective change for cities today. He places a heavy emphasis on sound real estate financing, but he also demonstrates the need for effective government action and political leadership to spur private develoopments. When combined with good design and a proper reading of market forces, American Cities can and will be changed for the benefit of all its citizens.
Readers must understand, however, that Mr. Garvin does not ascribe what is "Best for the City." Each city represents a unique example and requires specific consideration when planning its future. Instead, Mr. Garvin brilliantly provides an accurate set of tools to direct a city's future, thus allowing the reader to determine what the future of his or her city should be.
Whether you're intersted in planning the future of your city or simply learning what influences the development of your city, I highly recommend this book.
5.0 out of 5 stars The definitive work on urban planning for this generation,
By A Customer
This review is from: The American City: What Works and What Doesn't (Hardcover)
Alex Garvin has functioned singlehandedly as the entire Urban Planning department at Yale University for over twenty years, while serving at various times as the Director of Comprehensive Planning for the City of New York, a member of the New York City Planning Commission, an expert for the Urban Land Institute, a real estate developer and the facilities analyst for New York's bid for the Olympics. This book is his masterwork, providing an expanded version of his Yale course illustrated with hundreds of examples drawn (and photographed) from cities all over America.
Without question, if you are going to get only one book dealing with the problems and solutions of contemporary urban development, this MUST be it.

Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder opened a four-game stretch against Central Division opponents with a comeback victory. There may not be a need for heroics in the next one. Durant and the Thunder have won six straight against the visiting Detroit Pistons, who will likely be hard-pressed to avoid their worst start in 33 years Friday night. Oklahoma City (3-2) trailed by six heading into the fourth quarter Thursday before rallying for a 97-91 victory at Chicago. Durant scored eight of his season-high 24 points in the fourth. "It was one of those games you have to grind out," Durant said. "We've been through so many. We know what it takes." There is some concern since Durant is averaging a league-worst 5.2 turnovers, committing six of Oklahoma City's season-high 22 against the Bulls. He's a big reason why the Thunder are averaging 18.4 turnovers for one of the NBA's poorest marks. "Obviously we don't want to have high turnovers," coach Scott Brooks said. "It's something...

Xavier Henry available but not in Griz plan
Hollins: Team's evolved since injury
NEWARK, N.J. -- Rookie Xavier Henry is back in a Grizzlies uniform and available for action, but that's where his status begins and ends.
Henry isn't any closer to returning to the rotation after returning earlier this week from a sore right knee.
The 6-6 guard needs to improve his conditioning after missing 15 straight games. Griz coach Lionel Hollins also would have to find a reason to change the lineup that has given him confidence, with Sam Young and Tony Allen splitting time at shooting guard with O.J. Mayo.
"When there's an opportunity to put him in the game or a need to put him in the game, he'll go in the game," Hollins said. "But I'm not really thinking about working him back in. What happens when you get hurt, the team keeps evolving and moving to its level. When that happens, you sometimes get left behind when you're not in the mix."
Henry was the starter at shooting guard when he last appeared in a game Dec. 26 at Indiana. Although several tests didn't diagnose a specific injury, Henry complained of soreness and received an array of treatment over the past month.
Henry now says he's accepted the reality of playing with some discomfort.
"(The knee) getting better," said Henry, who dressed Wednesday for a third straight game. "It's not great but I don't expect it to be. I'm able to play with it. I'm going to have to play (with some pain). I'll probably have to do that for a while but at least I'll be out there playing."
Henry was injured during a pre-Christmas practice. Hollins first started Allen, then turned to Young when Allen missed a few games due to a sore left knee.
Both players have performed well in their increased roles.
"When guys get to play and they do what they're supposed to do, you're not going to just change and go back," Hollins said. "We'd go backwards if we put (Henry) in the starting lineup now and put him ahead of other people. We've grown and moved away from where we were when he got hurt."
Henry said the operative word for him his patience.
"Once I get back on the court everything will sort itself out," Henry said. "We're on a roll now and hopefully I can help it."

Hello world!
I've decided to write this entry to talk about twointertwined subjects:
- The published RDPESC parser needs a little tweakin order to function properly
- That tweak is a real life example of how tomodify an existing Netmon Parser
My goal is not to rewrite the [MS-RDPESC]document in this publication so I'll be assuming that you are familiar with itand will touch the protocol details just tangentially.
I've recently worked on a case where a customer wasobserving that Netmon 3.4was not being able to decode some of the RDPESC packets correctly. The parserwas only going as far as the TLS layer and was taking the rest of the data as asimple Blob.
This is pretty much what it looked like:
Easy case
The first thing that came to my mind was obviously that theparser version the customer was using was stale so, I provided the link to thelatest and greatest version of Netmon parsers: 03.04.2978.0001.
Hold your horses!
Although customer was happy with the way the newer versionof the parsers was handling the RDPESC structures… there was something notworking…
This is what the same frame looked like with the plainvanilla new parsers:
As we can see, this is day and night compared with nothaving anything parsed below TLS.
But… and there's always a "but", look at the RDPESC packetitself. There's something wrong…
This is what other RDPESC packets look like (other controlcodes that is):
Don't lose your headER!!!
Different calls and returns contain different data (duh!)… Evendifferent headers sometimes! (hmmm)
But, shouldn't packets ALWAYS have a header?!?!
(What? What red pill? Oh…. Ok… lots of water? Ok, here itgoes…)
Sorry, my friend Morpheus was talking to me.
As I was saying, even though there might be protocols thatdo not have a properly design header structure, RDPESC is not one of those andits packets do indeed possess a header.
So, what could possibly go wrong with the parser that it istreating one return call differently from another return call?
Welcome to "The Parserix"…
If we right click on the RDPESC call return andselect "Go To Data Type Definition", the RDPESC parser file opens up and thefirst thing we can see is this:
At first sight, having a "switch" clause is a good sign. Itwouldn't be the first time someone misses a case in a switch clause… would it?
Although the above mentioned is a very common scenario, itwas not the EXACT case this time around.
Because of the way the RDPESC parser works, we need to lookat the initial call's control code in order to figure out which of thescenarios it is that we are dealing with.
I present you with the control code for SCARD_IOCTL_ACCESSSTARTEDEVENT:
Once the control code has been identified, we can then seethat 0x900E0 is a special case on the RDPESC parser world:
All fine and dandy but, what's wrong?
Well, basically the document specifies in section 3.1.4that:
"6. Otherwise,DR_DEVICE_IOCOMPLETION.IOStatus MUST be set to 0 (STATUS_SUCCESS) andDR_DEVICE_IOCOMPLETION.Parameters.DeviceIOControl.OutputBuffer MUST contain anencoding of the structure (as specified in the preceding Message ProcessingEvents and Sequencing Rules IOCTL Table) as specified in [MS-RPCE] section 2.2.6. DR_DEVICE_IOCOMPLETION.Parameters.DeviceIOControl.OutputBufferLengthis the length of the data."
That means that the return call is to be parsed WITH anMSRPCHeader.
So, we need to modify the parser.
So in order to make this change to the parser, we can followeither of the two main ways we know we can use to modify parsers:
- We can either add a personalized copy of theparser to some "myparsers" folder and then set that folder as the first optionin the list of precedence in the current profile OR
- We can replace the existing RDPESC parser fromthe Windows profile in Network Monitor with an updated version of it.
In this case, we'll use the second approach.
These are the steps:
1) Navigate to "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\NetworkMonitor 3\NPL\NetworkMonitor Parsers\Windows"
2) Save a copy of rdpesc.npl to a safe location
3) Open the original file with a text editor
4) Replace:
// SmartCardCall W/O MSRPCHeader
case 0x000900E0:
case 0x4952:
UINT32 Unused;
case 0x4943:
RDPESCLongReturn LongReturn;
5) With: //
// SmartCardCall (Special case, see below)
//The "Call" does NOT have a RPCHeader
// Whereas, the "Return" does (so, handle the same way as all the otherIOCTLs)
_struct RDPESCSmartCardCallWithMSRPCHeader
RPCECommonTypeHeader CommonTypeHeader;
RPCEPrivateTypeHeader PrivateTypeHeader;
RDPESCLongReturn LongReturn;
6) Save the file back to its original place
Once the modification has been made, reopen thecapture in Network Monitor and look at the results. The return call should nowlook like this:
"It is done!"
PS: I was going to be more wordy for the conclusion of this entry but I figured out thatthe post was pretty much self-explanatory.BTW, if you want to learn some more details regarding parser modifications, youcan take a peek at my co-worker's entry from some time ago: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/openspecification/archive/2011/08/08/customizing-in-box-netmon-parsers-how-to-edit-and-deploy-updated-netmon-parsers.aspx

Corporate social responsibility (CSR)
As a responsible corporate citizen, your Company actively contributes to the social and economic development of the communities in and around the plants'' locations. Your Company and Mukul Madhav Foundation (MMF), a charitable trust have partnered in this journey. For many years, we have been actively contributing to the social and economic development of the underprivileged in the villages, in and around your Company''s plants, situated at Ratnagiri in the state of Maharashtra and Masar in the state of Gujarat. Special focus has been placed on education, health care, community development, environment and self-development. Some of the activities undertaken by your Company and MMF are as follows:-
1. Education
Mukul Madhav Vidyalaya – A school with a difference
Working in and around the villages of Ratnagiri, your Company saw a desperate need for rural up-liftment in education. In 2008, your Company gave on lease 10 acres of land to MMF for the establishment of a school on the outskirts of Ratnagiri. Mukul Madhav Vidyalaya was established in 2010 to provide English education at a nominal cost with a preference to socially and economically underprivileged children. It began in 2010 with 150 students, the school now boasts over 480 students. These students are the frst generation of farmers'' and fshermen''s children to get an English education. In order to meet the day- to-day requirements of the school children, MMF has developed the infrastructure of Mukul Madhav Vidyalaya.
The school is equipped with computers, LCD screens and a selection of books in the library, enabling the outside world to enter the school. The teachers undergo regular training programmes, to ensure that their skills are up to date.
Our CSR activities at Masar, a village in the State of Gujarat, are still in the initial stages. We recently started extending financial assistance and support to two schools, Prathamik School and Girdhar Vidhyalaya. Both these schools are located very close to your Company''s plant.
Your Company has provided benches and desks, teacher''s tables, and computers so that the students can engage in online activities. In order to encourage the students in their education, your Company has awarded prizes to the toppers in the academic results.
Scholarships / Educational assistance
MMF provides financial assistance to deserving students, so that they can pursue higher education in the felds of engineering, architecture and doctorate programmes. The foundation has set up fellowships for resident doctors at reputed hospitals. Doctors studying for their post graduation are eligible to avail of this fellowship programme. These resident doctors are trained under experienced doctors based in these hospitals. The trained doctors are entitled to additional financial help, should they need it.
2. Health care
Work with hospitals
MMF is associated with a number of hospitals primarily in Maharashtra and reaching out slowly to other parts of India, MMF depends upon referrals from social workers.The social workers verify each case to ascertain fund requirements and follow up to see that the patient receives the necessary care and suffcient assistance even after the discharge.
Association with reputed hospitals
MMF has been associated with reputed hospitals since the turn of the century. MMF is engaged in this activity with the sole objective of modernizing and improving the quality of medical treatment provided to children and women. In the year 2000, MMF set up a Neo- Natal Intensive Care Unit. In 2001, a Neo-Natal Ward was established at KEM, a reputed Hospital in Pune. During the same year, the foundation also opened a Paediatric Intensive Care Unit, a Children''s Ward and an OPD, all at KEM hospital.
In 2012, MMF donated a wing "SONALI". The little stars rooms consists of 6 beds and life saving equipment in the NICU ward at KEM. The purpose of this wing is to allow the underprivileged to avail quality medical care at a concessional cost.
In order to create public awareness about a healthy lifestyle, MMF has sponsored an event called Bhag Pune Bhag – a Marathon which was held in October 2013, which was organized by Prashanti Cancer Care Mission.
Free medical camps for children
Since 2008, MMF has been conducting free bi-annual medical health camps in Government schools in and around Ratnagiri. At each camp, dentists, ophthalmic and general physicians screen around three thousand students. Doctors and specialists from prominent hospitals viz. KEM Hospital, Pune, Bharati Vidyapeeth school of Audiology, Bharati Vidyapeeth Dental College and H.V.Desai Eye Hospital are participating in these camps. Medical cards are maintained to monitor the students progress. MMF provides additional medical treatment to those students who require it.
As usual, during December, 2013, your Company and MMF conducted health check up camps for school children and women in villages situated near your Company''s plant at Ratnagiri. Taking this a step forward, during the month of February, 2014, MMF organised similar health-camps for children in the slum areas of Pune and the municipal schools of Panchgani.
Free cancer detection camps for women & set-up of women''s well-being clinic
To sensitize and create public awareness about breast and cervical cancer, MMF in association with a reputed Pune based NGO,"Prashanti Cancer Care Mission" organized a unique program called ''Cancer Diagnosis at Your Doorstep''. This camp was conducted in December 2013 for rural women from and around Ratnagiri and in March 2014 for women living in the slum areas of Pune.
Two Cancer detection tests were carried out under the observation of qualifed doctors, a counselor and trained technicians. A mobile van which was equipped with all the required machinery was used to conduct this initiative.
To take that additional step forward in the direction of providing quality health care services to underprivileged women, on 8th March, 2014, International Women''s Day, ''The Finolex Women''s Well Being Clinic'' was inaugurated at Ratnagiri. The services which will be provided at this well-being clinic are mammography and colposcopy tests.Your Company extended financial assistance to MMF to buy and donate a mammography machine and a
colposcope machine to the clinic. While taking care of the requirements of the clinic, MMF also extended help to other hospitals. Your Company provided financial assistance to MMF to buy a C Arm machine and donate the same to a reputed hospital at Delhi.
Ruby Hall Clinic, Pune & Healing Little Hearts, UK
MMF''s most recent venture is in collaboration with Healing Little Hearts (HLH), a registered charity in Leicester, UK and Grant Medical Foundation''s Ruby Hall Clinic, Pune. Together, MMF brings in specialist medical teams from the UK to Pune to stand-in, guide and train the in-house doctors at Ruby Hall Clinic, during complex heart procedures. This team is made up of paediatricians, nurses and intensivists from the University Hospitals of Leicester, Alder Hey Children''s Hospital, Liverpool Children''s Hospital and other institutions. Doctors who wish to participate in this programme were requested to register with HLH.
Currently, children in India with heart problems either do not get the surgical treatment required, or the doctors do not have the expertise to either operate on them (as in the case of underweight babies) or to care for them following the surgery. This results in extremely high mortality rates. The vision for this project is to help alleviate this scenario in India.
Members of Healing Little Hearts give their time to come to India in support of this worthy cause without any financial remuneration. These surgeons specialize in operating on new- born babies suffering with heart diseases.
Health care facilities at Masar
Your Company has taken further steps in CSR and has ventured into Masar, Gujarat. We have constructed a toilet block for female students at Girdhar Vidhayalaya, Masar.
Community development
In order to take a small step to solve the drinking water problem faced by villagers, your Company continued to implement drinking water supply schemes in the adjoining areas of Golap, with the help of Gram Panchayats of the respective villages. Your Company, under "Rashtriya Gramin Peyajal Yojana" helped the Gram Panchayats of Kolambe, Bhatye and Phansop villages. Until these schemes were implemented, your Company organized a water supply to the villages from a well, by providing pumps, a pipeline and water tanks. While taking care of the water shortage, your Company also extended financial help to the Gram Panchayats for payment of repair charges, electricity bills etc. in respect of the existing water supply schemes.
Further more, as a part of its CSR activities, your Company has undertaken a project to make potable water available to the villagers. Accordingly, a Water Filteration Unit has been installed on one of the wells at Bhatye village which has been a great help to the villagers.
And fnally, at Masar in Gujarat State, your Company offered financial assistance to the village Grampanchayat Committee to celebrate Navratri in a grand fashion.
4. Environment & safety initiatives
Your Company is committed to achieve the highest standards of environmental excellence by adopting environmentally sustainable and effective operating systems and processes in its plants. At Ratnagiri, your Company has put in place the internationally acclaimed Environment Management System under ISO14001. Your Company fully complies with all applicable environmental regulations in respect of air, water, noise, hazardous waste, e-waste etc. to mitigate the potential environmental impact on the society. The Executive Committee of "Frost & Sullivan''s Green Manufacturing Excellence Awards 2014" has awarded a "Certifcate of Merit - Believers Category"to our Golap, Ratnagiri plant.
Your Company''s manufacturing plants are well equipped with the latest fre safety equipment. In addition, your Company''s PVC manufacturing plant at Ratnagiri has a put in place a fully pledged and well equipped fre safety dept. The plant has its own fre fghters who are capable of performing fre and rescue services at par with the Ratnagiri Municipal Council''s fre department. Fire fghters are sent on fre calls in villages/communities nearby as well Ratnagiri city and industries around Ratnagiri. To keep the fre fghters up-to-date and alert, mock drills and fre drills are performed through-out the year as per the "On site Emergency Management Plan" with the participation of all key personnel at the factory alongwith nearby schools and other establishments, for the benefit of the public at large. Your Company believes this is an excellent example of "Service Beyond Self". Your Company won the Bonze Trophy in the National Safety Council Awards Competition 2013 for the Company''s PVC manufacturing plant situated at Ratnagiri.
Prevention of air pollution
Your Company has installed processes to comply with the requirement of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. All 12 parameters including particulate matters, sulfur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen are analyzed as per the standards. All stack emissions are also regularly monitored and the fue gas quality is under control as per the Specifications laid down by pollution control board.
Zero effuent discharge
As part of its endeavor to keep the environment and water bodies around its plants at Ratnagiri, free from contaminants and pollution, your Company has successfully achieved its goal for zero discharge. This has been achieved by recycling it back into the system. The remainder has been used for irrigation purposes. Trees and plants within the premises have benefitted from this process. The ground water quality is regularly monitored by sampling and analyzing the bore well water.
Effuent treatment plant
The aqueous effuent generated during the process of manufacturing PVC undergoes various treatments in your Company''s world class effuent treatment plants. These treatments include, equalization, focculation, foc separation, aeration activated sludge process, clarifcation, polishing using activated carbon flter etc. The treated effuent is checked every day to ensure that it meets with MPCB Specifications.
Effuent recycle plant
Part of the treated effuent undergoes further treatment in an effuent recycle plant. The treatments include, biological treatment, phosphate removal, ultra fltration and demineralization process for recycling it in the plant operations.
Tree plantation
The remaining treated effuent fit for irrigation is used for the trees planted on the factory premises. Your Company has planted and nurtured close to 49,000 different kinds of trees including fruit bearing trees such as mangoes, chikoo, cashew, coconut etc. within the PVC manufacturing plant and the captive power plant premises. The tree plantation activity is carried out annually during the week-long celebrations of World Environment Day commencing on 5th of June every year.
Rain water harvesting
Your Company has built two large reservoirs which help to collect rain water from nearby lands. These reservoirs are flled by pumping water from a dam. The dam has also helped in bringing up the ground water table within the vicinity.
5. Cultural and other activities
Your Company extends financial help to the local communities in promoting their cultural, religious, social and spiritual pursuits irrespective of caste, creed, religion to celebrate festivals and felicitations, hold exhibitions, seminars, musical concerts, blood donation camps etc.
Your directors take this opportunity to place on record their sense of gratitude to the banks, financial institutions, central and state government departments and their local authorities for their guidance and support. Your directors are also grateful to the customers, suppliers and business associates of the Company for their continued co-operation and support. Your directors express their deep appreciation for the commitment, dedication and hard work put in by the employees at all levels.

When you boycott your home state, you have to raise money for your re-election campaign with open-border advocates in California.
From the San Fernando Valley Sun:
It's not typical to have an event in Los Angeles to raise funds to support an Arizona congressmen. But that was the case last weekend when many long time Latino community and political activists gathered to support Raul Grijalva.
Dr. Rudy Acuna, one of the organizers, said the Los Angeles fundraiser to support the Arizona congressman was organized quickly.
"Raul Grijalva is the most progressive legislator in the country and is under attack by the right wing. Just last week one of these zealots contributed one million dollars to defeat him because of his leadership in fight SB 1070."
Grijalva was elected to Congress from Southern Arizona's 7th District,in 2002. His district has been at the center of the controversy. Grijalva has been vocal in denouncing SB1070 as racist legislation in local and national media and he supported the Arizona boycott.
Acuna said the fund raiser proves that Californians supports the fight against racism in Arizona and will support courageous politicos such as Grijalva. "He is fighting our fight," Acuna said.

While a failing ICM doesn't typically cause a "miss" it is possible that it's failing, requiring time to cool off to run again fits that profile. That will get worse and eventually fail. Also, the ballast resistor needs to be replaced (white ceramic----brittle, delicate....don't over-tighten) on firewall near ICM. Fortunately, they're $20 bucks each, give or take. Blue ICM not uncommon for aftermarket, have had them myself. As the production of these things moved the China, those in the know always kept a spare set in the glove box. Just don't last like in the old days. If you get a good one, it will last years.
Another possible cause of the miss could be a little deeper in the ignition, meaning the distributor (single pickup or dual?) Could be a worn distributor shaft bushing in the block causing a wobble that's dropping a cylinder, but that's something to consider after everything else has been dealt with. You typically see that on very high time engines. It can manifest as a low rpm miss that improves as rpms rise.
It sounds like you're finding the basic issues on your own. It needs a tune-up. The carb is still a concern. Funny how on these relatively simple setups (compared to today) problems can still be difficult to ferret out.
I looked at the dist. and rotor/cap, everything looks good. I do wonder about the ICM. The ballast resistor is something I forgot about, but will be replacing.. The current one definitely looks crispy.. Since the ICM is only $23 I'll be replacing that as well..

AF: "Bullshit."
DF: "Alright, with the second pick...Trey Bradley."
DF: "Third pick—Mike Bell."
AF: "Come on!"
DF: "Zander with the fourth pick."
AF: "I already got the last pick in the fantasy draft this year man...what is this?"
DF: "Hey man—what can you say—life sucks.
Alright well I'll go ahead and kick things off. With the first pick, I am going to select Michael Jordan. I'm taking MJ because I think there is a bigger margin between Michael Jordan and any other player at his position. He's a tenacious defender and probably the best winner in the history of basketball. All the Bill Russell talk aside, there's no one else I'd want taking a shot at the end of the game. I think Michael Jordan speaks for himself and I'm proud to build my team around him.
Trey, number 2, where it's at—go for it"
TB: "You better be ready to take Steve Kerr or Scottie Pippen with that 8th pick."
DF: "How about Randy Brown—a whole different direction—"
TB: "Alright that leaves me with Shaq then.
TB: "There ya go. Also—in terms of building a team around the most unstoppable force left on the draft board, I think Shaq has dominated his position and revolutionized his position in a way that only Michael Jordan had before him. In terms of career accomplishments, Wilt and Kareem would be ahead of him—but in terms of ability to dominate a head-to-head game, you'd be foolish not to take Shaq."
AF: "It will be interesting to see what Mike Bell does with the third pick."
MB: "Just give me about twenty seconds to gather myself here"
MB: "As far as centers go, I agree that Shaq is above and beyond a lot of the rest. And as far as two guards go, same with MJ. After that, there's a lot of directions to go in here.
OK, with the fourth pick in the draft, I'm going with Magic Johnson. I believe he's the most well rounded player to ever step on the court. He's 6'9", and can play small forward or point guard. He's clearly the best passer ever, better than Stockton or Nash—perhaps not as many assists as Stockton, but that's because Magic was too busy scoring 20 a game.
When Kareem was down late in the '81 Finals, Magic stepped up and dominated at center, scoring 42 points. He could play any position on the court. I don't think I need to justify this any further, and I'm pretty thrilled to get him with the fourth pick—Magic Johnson, my man.
With the fifth pick, I'm gonna go with Bill Russell. Although he's a player from ancient lore, he's gotta be the best defender in NBA history. Now that Shaq is on Trey Bradley's team, I think perhaps Bill Russell could teach him a thing or two on the other side of the ball.
AF: "That's a good pick."
MB: "Not that I need to justify this, but eight times all defense, over 50 percent career shooting, and has pretty much been unstoppable except when he gets into a head game with himself at the free throw line. More importantly, he's got a great sense of humor."
AF: "I've also noticed over the years that he can do all the little things."
DF: "He's a terrific swimmer too."
AF: "And he finished college—pretty rare these days."
DF: "Trey Bradley—who you got?"
TB: "I'm going to make a draft decision here more than anything else. Knowing Dave is in need of a center, I'm going to make my center pick and hope there's a decent point guard left later.
So I'm gonna go with Wilt—and have him play power forward."
AF: "Oooohh—."
TB: "I'll have the biggest front line in this contest...you just can't pass on Wilt. 50.4 POINTS A GAME?"
DF: "You gonna draft Manute Bol and Shawn Bradley next?"
AF: "I think it's safe to say that Trey's team will set the record for most children out of wedlock."
TB: (laughs)
DF: "I'm gonna have to go with no-tip Pippen, as he's known now in Chicago. It all starts with defense for me—and I love how he can play both shooting guard and small forward. He's long, he's athletic—and on the other side of the floor, he practically invented the point-forward position. He can hit outside shots and is great at controlling the tempo of the game. Great rebounder as well.
And obviously, he complements my shooting guard—"

I am a CS student, and am really astonished that I didn't know about Donald Knuth and his TAoCP. Now that I do, I really look forward to diving into it. Would going for the entire volume 4 be a good idea? Also, is there a place online where I can read up (especially, the algorithms and DS part) ?
thanks, Yati

OKC Barons hit the road for pivotal trip
Danis has played a key role in OKC making a late-season charge. Since he returned from Edmonton after spending nearly two months with the Oilers after the NHL lockout ended, Danis is 6-1-2 with a 2.07 goals-against average and .919 save percentage.
The first two games of the road trip have added significance. Houston and Rochester (where the Barons play Friday night) are tied for fifth with 82 points, two points in front of Oklahoma City. The Barons currently have a three-point cushion over ninth-place Chicago.
"We have a little breathing room but it's going to be a fight to the end," Danis said. "We need to keep winning. Every game is going to be big."
BARONS at HOUSTON
When: 7 p.m. Wednesday.
Where: Toyota Center, Houston
Radio: KXXY-FM 96.1, Jim Byers play-by-play.
Scouting report: The Aeros have won eight of 10 meetings, but three of Houston's wins have been in shootouts. All but one of OKC's eight losses in the series essentially has been by one goal if you exclude last-minute empty-netters. ... Since he was reassigned to Oklahoma City, Barons forward Teemu Hartikainen has scored eight points in seven games, including three points in Sunday's win over Chicago. ... Houston goaltender Matt Hackett is 6-1 against the Barons but has only a 2.68 goals-against average. The key has been Houston's offense. Justin Fontaine has scored 10 points and Brian Connelly nine against OKC. Mikael Granlund also has scored nine points against the Barons but currently is with the Minnesota Wild, Houston's NHL affiliate.

Animal Feed
Attention Cattle Owners
Give your cattle the boost they need with COW KICKER cattle feed. We produce this all-natural, tried, and true feed on-site. Cow Kicker is great for stockers, brood cattle, or finishing cattle. Available in 50# bags, quanity discounts are available.
Don't Forget the Dangers of Grass Tetany
Grass tetany, sometimes called grass staggers, wheat-pasture poisoning, lactation tetany and hypomagnesemia, is a metabolic disorder of livestock. It occurs primarily in ruminant animals; lactating cows are the most susceptible. Older cows are more susceptible to tetany. Grass tetany is common during cool, cloudy, and rainy weather and often occurs when cool weather is followed by a warm period. Animals get grass tetany most often while grazing cool-season grasses or small-grain pastures in spring or fall. Quite often, clinical signs are not observed, and the only evidence is a dead cow.
Though it is impossible to totally prevent grass tetany, providing the cowherd with a palatable form of magnesium supplementation is any easy and effective way to reduce the chance of this condition. Commercial magnesium supplements are available in blocks and loose mineral forms. Purina Mills Wind and Rain High Mag 4 Complete and Wind and Rain High Mag Mineral Tubs are excellent choices.
With over 23 years in the feed business, the folks at Johnson's Milling and Feed, Inc. have the knowledge and experience to assist in planning the best feeding program for your cattle herd, no matter how large or small.
Is there a difference in feed?
As you may know, the types of feed you choose to feed will affect the health of your animal. There is a difference in the quality of feeds and that difference is evident in your animal (whether livestock or pet).
Since 1986 Johnson's Milling and Feed, Inc. has built the reputation of offering quality products and at great prices. With a knowledgeable, caring staff, we strive to give the type of service and products that we desire ourselves.
With the rising cost of feed ingredients, many of the commercial feeds on the market will be changing their feed ingredients to keep the prices as low as possible without regard to nutritional content. Therefore, you will have to feed more of this low quality feed to give your pet or livestock the energy requirements they need to maintain or grow. These feeds actually waste money, because the cost per day increases.
When choosing the best products to use and offer our customers, we want the best feed at the best prices. We are proud to represent national and local feed companies, in addition to feeds we make here at the mill. We stock a variety of feeds from Purina Mills, Bartlett Milling Co., Eagle Roller Mill, Union Grove Feeds, Campbell's Feed & Fertilizer, Diamond Brand Dog Feeds, Joy Pet Feeds, Nederland's Caged Bird Seed, and more. (We are working on getting these websites on the links page.) These companies have spent years on research and offer both economy products and value added products. Using the highest quality ingredients and latest techniques, these companies offer you the best feed.
Since we receive shipments of feed weekly, you know that our feed hasn't been sitting around, buried in back of the "big box store."
If you want some help choosing the feed products best suited for your animals, please do not hesitate to ask us for assistance.
At Johnson's Milling and Feed Inc., we have dedicated ourselves to offering you, our valued customer, fresh, top quality products—the best value for your hard earned dollar. We use the products we recommend and strive to offer you service second to none!
Thank you for allowing us to serve you!

I've Trusted These Repelling
I've used this device for single rope repelling without any problem, even over a 1200' wall (80' actual repel). Good karma, I guess. Inexpensive enough that you can leave behind. Still read the mfg's disclaimer/warning. Do what you think is best!

For those still interested in editing apks on OS X without unpacking and hence without resigning I have found something that works!
muCommander! Just rename the .apk to .zip and browse it using muCommander just like you would using WinRar! Just tested it, I was able to add and remove files without resigning. The modified apk installed on my phone without a problem!
As for editing xml values you can simply copy the xml file out and edit it using your favourite editor and then copy them back in.
Hope I was able to help some OS X users.
/edit By the way, this method (WinRar or muCommander) also works for editing update.zip. This means you can customise the rom (add/remove system apks, change the boot animation etc) before you flash it.

Cleantech Solutions International Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2012 Results PR Newswire WUXI, Jiangsu Province, China, April 11, 2013 WUXI, Jiangsu Province, China, April 11, 2013 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cleantech Solutions International, Inc. ("Cleantech Solutions" or "the Company") (NASDAQ: CLNT), a manufacturer of metal components and assemblies, primarily used in the wind power, solar, dyeing and finishing equipment and other clean technology industries, today announced its financial results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2012. "The year 2012 was marked by a challenging environment in China that impacted capital spending and demand from customers in our key end markets, particularly during the first half of the year. Despite these challenges, we closed the year with 28.3% growth in revenue in the fourth quarter, driven by strong demand for our patented airflow dyeing machines and improving sales of forged products to customers in the wind power industry. Although we recorded a non-cash impairment loss related to equipment which we are no longer using and which is being held for sale during the fourth quarter, we were still profitable due to greater operational efficiencies and careful cost control," said Mr. Jianhua Wu, Chairman and CEO of Cleantech Solutions. Fourth Quarter 2012 Results Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2012 increased 28.3% to $17.6 million, compared to $13.7 million for the same period of 2011. Revenue increased slightly compared to the third quarter of 2012. Revenue from the sale of forged rolled rings to the wind power industry and other industries increased 2.6% to $8.3 million, or 47.2% of net revenue, compared to $8.1 million, or 59.1% of net revenue, in the same period last year. The increase in revenue was mainly due to improving demand from existing customers in the wind power industry following several quarters of reduced order flow, which was counterbalanced by lower market demand for capital equipment related to the Company's forged rolled rings and related products for other industries. The increase in revenue is summarized as follows: oRevenue from the sale of forged rolled rings exclusively to the wind power industry increased by 15.5% to $5.6 million, representing 31.7% of net revenue, compared to $4.8 million, or 35.2% of net revenue, in the comparable period last year. oRevenue from the sale of forged rolled rings to other industries decreased 16.5% to $2.7 million, or 15.5% of net revenue, compared with $3.3 million, or 23.9% of net revenue for the comparable period of the prior year. Revenue from the Company's dyeing and finishing equipment segment increased 65.5% to $9.3 million, or 52.8% of net revenues, compared to $5.6 million, or 40.9% of net revenue, for the fourth quarter of 2011. This increase was largely attributable to the dyeing industry's response to local government's policies which encourage the purchase of low-emission airflow dyeing machines. Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2012 increased 38.2% to $4.2 million, compared to $3.1 million for the same period in 2011. Gross margin increased to 24.1% during the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to 22.4% for the same period a year ago. The increase in gross margin for the fourth quarter was primarily attributable to (i) the increased operational and cost efficiencies for forged rolled rings and related products segment, including the allocation of fixed costs primarily consisting of depreciation, to cost of revenues as the Company operated at higher production levels in response to higher revenues, and (ii) the significant portion of revenue for the dyeing and finishing equipment segment generated from the sale of airflow dyeing machinery, which generates a higher gross margin than the Company's traditional dyeing machinery. The principal source of dyeing revenue in the fourth quarter of 2011 was traditional dyeing machinery. Operating expenses increased 90.8% to $3.5 million, compared to $1.8 million in the comparable period last year. The increase was primarily due to a non-cash impairment loss of $2.2 million as a result of writing down the carrying value of equipment to its estimated fair value based on an impairment assessment conducted on the equipment held for sale at December 31, 2012. This equipment had been used to manufacture certain electro-slag re-melted ("ESR") equipment that was used to produce forged products for the high performance components market. Because the Company did not generate any revenue from these products since 2011, the Company decided to try to sell the equipment, which it classified at December 31, 2012 as equipment held for sale.The Company did not record any impairment loss in the fourth quarter of 2011. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2012 decreased 27.6% to $0.9 million, as compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011, primarily due to the decrease in bad debt expense in the fourth quarter of 2012 as compared to the bad debt expense for the fourth quarter of 2011. Operating income decreased 40.8% to $0.7 million, compared to $1.2 million for the same period of 2011. Operating margin was 4.1% compared to 8.9% in the fourth quarter last year. Adjusted operating income, a non GAAP measurement, which adds back to operating income the impairment loss, was $2.9 million, up 139.0% from the same quarter last year. Adjusted operating margin was 16.7% in the fourth quarter of 2012. Other expense was $46,070, relatively unchanged compared to the same period in 2011. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measurement, which adds back to net income interest expense, income tax, warrant modification expense, impairment loss, depreciation and amortization, was up 60.4% to $4.8 million, compared to $3.0 million in the same quarter last year. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $469,313, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to $0.8 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2011. Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measurement which does not deduct impairment loss and warrant modification expense, was $2.7 million, or $0.98 diluted earnings per share, up 238.5% from the same quarter of last year. Diluted earnings per share were calculated using diluted weighted average shares of 2,742,040 and 2,553,213 for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. All share and per share information has been adjusted to reflect a one-for-ten reverse stock split effective March 6, 2012. Results for Full Year 2012 For the year ended December 31, 2012, revenues increased 2.9% to $57.2 million from $55.6 million in 2011. Gross profit decreased 1.3% to $13.1 million, compared to $13.3 million last year. Gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2012 was 23.0%, compared to 23.9% in 2011. Operating income decreased 22.5% to $6.3 million from $8.2 million in 2011. Adjusted operating income, a non GAAP measurement which adds back the impairment loss, was $8.5 million, up 4.5% from 2011. Adjusted EBITDA, a non GAAP measurement which adds back to net income interest expense, income tax, warrant modification expense, impairment loss, depreciation and amortization, was $15.3 million, compared to $13.7 million last year. Net income was $4.2 million, or $1.58 per diluted share, a 27.1% decrease from $5.8 million, or $2.30 per diluted share, in 2011. Adjusted net income, a non GAAP measurement which adds back impairment loss and warrant modification expense, was $6.6 million, or $2.51 per diluted share, in 2012. All share and per share information has been adjusted to reflect a one-for-ten reverse stock split effective March 6, 2012. Financial Condition As of December 31, 2012, Cleantech Solutions held cash and cash equivalents of $1.4 million compared with $1.2 million at December 31, 2011. Accounts receivable were $10.1 million and total current assets of $19.1 million. The Company had $2.2 million in short-term bank loans payable and stockholders' equity was $78.0 million. In 2012, the Company generated $10.6 million in cash flow from operations. Recent Events In the first quarter of 2013, the Company announced that it has received a total of five purchase orders from new and existing customers to supply 147 units of dyeing machines, including 85 airflow dyeing machines using the company's patented production technique, for an aggregate amount of $8.9 million. On January 4, 2013, the Company renewed its loan with Bank of China in the amount of $949,953. The loan is due January 3, 2014 with interest at the annual rate of 7.35% and secured by certain assets of the Company. On January 29, 2013, the Company appointed RBSM LLP as its independent registered public accounting firm, following Sherb & Co., LLP's, combining its practice with RBSM LLP effective January 1, 2013. Business Outlook "Despite a challenging environment in 2012, we saw modest growth in our top line as we diversified and expanded our product offering. More importantly, we achieved strong growth in profitability, on an adjusted basis, and generated solid cash flow from operations to fund our capital expenditures and product development initiatives. "Thus far in 2013, we have seen strong order flow in our dyeing machine segment which we expect to continue throughout the year. As a result, we have added shifts, increased staff and placed orders for additional equipment to expand capacity and meet anticipated demand. We saw a nice increase in demand from wind power customers in the fourth quarter of 2012 and expect sales to remain near these levels in the remainder of 2013. We are also hopeful that favorable Chinese government policy towards domestic solar companies will influence demand by year end. "We continue to utilize our expertise in manufacturing precision products to meet demand in new and existing end markets. We recently shipped a prototype of a new model of after-treatment textile equipment and have another model in the late stages of development. We are optimistic about sales of forged products to non-wind customers and are currently seeking to expand into other industries including oil and natural gas," Mr. Wu concluded.
