Paint issues do arise with many vehicles nowadays.
There have been newscasts and reports within the past several years on consumer complaints with paint finishes.
Search the internet and you will find a September 2011 newscast
from NBC Chicago titled: Car Owners Upset About Bad Paint Jobs.
There is also a facebook site (Ford-Mercury Peeling Paint Complaints) in which owners have been sharing paint issues on all models.
Ford does conduct durability measurements on their vehicles within the factory.
If anyone is having paint problems, they should request the data from Ford to review it with the dealership.

42 U.S. Code § 1396g - State programs for licensing of administrators of nursing homes
(a) Nature of State program
(b) Licensing by State agency or board representative of concerned professions and institutions
Licensing of nursing home administrators shall be carried out by the agency of the State responsible for licensing under the healing arts licensing act of the State, or, in the absence of such act or such an agency, a board representative of the professions and institutions concerned with care of chronically ill and infirm aged patients and established to carry out the purposes of this section.
(c) Functions and duties of State agency or board
It shall be the function and duty of such agency or board to—
(1) develop, impose, and enforce standards which must be met by individuals in order to receive a license as a nursing home administrator, which standards shall be designed to insure that nursing home administrators will be individuals who are of good character and are otherwise suitable, and who, by training or experience in the field of institutional administration, are qualified to serve as nursing home administrators;
(2) develop and apply appropriate techniques, including examinations and investigations, for determining whether an individual meets such standards;
(3) issue licenses to individuals determined, after the application of such techniques, to meet such standards, and revoke or suspend licenses previously issued by the board in any case where the individual holding any such license is determined substantially to have failed to conform to the requirements of such standards;
(4) establish and carry out procedures designed to insure that individuals licensed as nursing home administrators will, during any period that they serve as such, comply with the requirements of such standards;
(5) receive, investigate, and take appropriate action with respect to, any charge or complaint filed with the board to the effect that any individual licensed as a nursing home administrator has failed to comply with the requirements of such standards; and
(6) conduct a continuing study and investigation of nursing homes and administrators of nursing homes within the State with a view to the improvement of the standards imposed for the licensing of such administrators and of procedures and methods for the enforcement of such standards with respect to administrators of nursing homes who have been licensed as such.
(d) Waiver of standards other than good character or suitability standards
No State shall be considered to have failed to comply with the provisions of section 1396a (a)(29) of this title because the agency or board of such State (established pursuant to subsection (b) of this section) shall have granted any waiver, with respect to any individual who, during all of the three calendar years immediately preceding the calendar year in which the requirements prescribed in section 1396a (a)(29) of this title are first met by the State, has served as a nursing home administrator, of any of the standards developed, imposed, and enforced by such agency or board pursuant to subsection (c) of this section.
(e) "Nursing home" and "nursing home administrator" defined
As used in this section, the term—
(1) "nursing home" means any institution or facility defined as such for licensing purposes under State law, or, if State law does not employ the term nursing home, the equivalent term or terms as determined by the Secretary, but does not include a religious nonmedical health care institution (as defined in section 1395x (ss)(1) of this title).

Another section 1908 of act Aug. 14, 1935, was renumbered section 1908A and is classified to section 1396g–1 of this title.
1997—Subsec. (e)(1). Pub.

(e)(1) of this section to reflect the probable intent of Congress, because section 1396g–1 of this title, which is also section 1908 of the Social Security Act, does not have a subsec. (e).
1996—Subsec. (e)(1). Pub. L. 104–193, which directed substitution of "The Commission for Accreditation of Christian Science Nursing Organizations/Facilities, Inc." for "The First Church of Christ, Scientist, Boston, Massachusetts" in section 1908(e)(1) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396g–1 (e)(1)) could not be executed to this section or section 1396g–1 of this title, both of which are section 1908. Section 1396g–1 does not have a subsec. (e) andsubsec. (e)(1) of this section does not contain the quoted language with the word "the" capitalized.
1973—Subsec. (d). Pub. L. 93–233struck out second sentence reading substantially the same as the first sentence but containing the following additional text reading "other than such standards as relate to good character or suitability if—
"(1) such waiver is for a period which ends after being in effect for two years or on June 30, 1972, whichever is earlier, and
"(2) there is provided in the State (during all of the period for which waiver is in effect), a program of training and instruction designed to enable all individuals with respect to whom any such waiver is granted, to attain the qualifications necessary in order to meet such standards" and also "calendar year" instead of "three calendar years" and reference to "subsection (c)(1) of this section" instead of "subsection (c) of this section".
Subsec. (e). Pub. L. 93–233redesignated subsec. (g) as (e), and repealed prior subsec. (e) relating to authorization of appropriations for fiscal years 1968 through 1972 and to limitation of grants.
Subsec. (f). Pub. L. 93–233repealed subsec. (f) providing for creation of National Advisory Council on Nursing Home Administration and for its composition, appointment of members, the Chairman, representation of interests, functions and duties, compensation and travel expenses, technical assistance, availability of assistance and data, and termination date of Dec. 31, 1971.
Subsec. (g). Pub. L. 93–233, redesignated subsec. (g) as (e).
1972—Subsec. (d). Pub. L. 92–603, §§ 269, 274 (b), inserted references to the grant of waivers to individuals who, during all of the three calendar years immediately preceding the calendar year in which the requirements prescribed in section 1396a (a)(29) of this title are first met by the State, have served as nursing home administrators and substituted "subsection (c)(1)" for "subsection (b)(1)".
Subsec. (g)(1). Pub. L. 92–603, § 268(b), inserted ", but does not include a Christian Science sanatorium operated, or listed and certified, by the First Church of Christ, Scientist, Boston, Massachusetts" after "Secretary".

We did have major reports that the CyanogenMod 6 will be coming out on the Sprint Unlocked HTC EVO 4G Phone. However we did not really have much of a time frame attached with the release but as per what we have seen recently, the CM 6 is ready and is running pretty well on the EVO 4G. This is a welcome change from the Sense UI which in our opinion was getting somewhat cumbersome and posing a large number of problems for the users, Although the Sense UI has been a worth service provider for the user but the in built Android UI is far easier to use as compared to this one. This however is a departure from what is was before.
We believe that the CyanogenMod 6 will grant the EVO owners a great feel for the Android 2.2 phone or the Froyo and allow them to escape the HTC custom skin on the Sense UI. In fact the faster the new ROM is launched on the EVO, the faster it can get the update for the Froyo which it could not have done otherwise. The release date for the update was around Christmas. In a statement given by the company, they have said that they would prefer picking the early release of the Froyo on their phone almost half a year ahead of time, to sticking with the Sense UI. Furthermore what has pushed this decision of theirs is the fact that CM 6 other than getting Froyo out early on the HTC EVO 4G also has great amounts of features like the facility which allows you to pair it with a mouse via Bluetooth. What you can do is you can then connect the video output through a HDMI port and you have a proverbial computer on your hands. This is amazing in our opinion. According to us, it is not long till we see this update and more in the market.

Until now, a hamster on a treadmill could have generated enough power to keep the USU-CEU radio station on the air. In another two weeks or so, they'll need a horse.
That's because the station will be taking advantage of its Federal Communications Commission license to pump out 500 watts of pure power - 20,000 times more juice than the 25 milliwatts its FM signal it has been limited to. The FCC construction permit KCEU got two years ago authorizes the station to go as high as 6 kilowatts on its FM signal.
What that means is that the station will be able to extend its reach beyond the campus and out into the surrounding community.
Troy Hunt, chair of the college's communications department, said the signal at 89.9 on the FM dial will have to be tested to see how far it really goes. Theoretically, the transmitter on Wood Hill should be able to reach into Wellington and Helper as well as all of Price.
That boost in power should provide a corresponding boost in morale for broadcast students. "For years now, the saying has been, 'Hey, that was a great job. I only wish someone could have heard it,'" Hunt quipped. With the added potential to reach hundreds or thousands of listeners, there will be more satisfaction in the work.
Students at large should also benefit from the stronger signal. The Eagle, the student newspaper, comes out twice a month. The Edge will be a daily broadcast of campus issues and events, which may help to "draw more bodies to events," Hunt explained.
The increase in power is no threat to the area's commercial stations. "We can't sell ads. That's the law for public broadcasting stations," Hunt stated. KCEU can only accept underwriting contributions as the University of Utah's KUER and other public stations do.

Looking for Eric
Drama, Comedy
Eric the postman is slipping through his own fingers. His wife has gone, his stepsons are out of control and the house was chaotic even before a cement mixer appeared in the front garden. Life is crazy enough, but it is Eric's own secret that is driving him to the brink. How can he face up to Lily, the woman of his dreams that he once loved and walked out on many years ago? Despite the comical efforts and misplaced goodwill of his mates, Eric continues to sink. In desperate times it takes a spliff and a special friend to help a lost postman find his way, so Eric turns to his hero: footballing genius, philosopher and poster boy, Eric Cantona. As a certain Frenchman says "He who is afraid to throw the dice, will never throw a six."

Very Disappointed
Par sj
de Alberta
I recieved this product with the most recent show stopper from Elysse.I have tried on several occations to use the product but after applying, and waiting for the product to dry I find it very difficult to apply my foundation.I have tried using both a mineral foundation and a more liquid foundation and the results have been the same. The product starts to cake on my face every time. I would not recommend this product unless you do not wear foundation.

Product works FAST!!!!
Par Darlene
de Orangeville
I purchased this product the lst time Linda was at TSC. When she described and talked about this item, I was pretty 'leary' about purchasing this as an AutoDelivery.Boy was I wrong! This product works IMMEDIATELY when I applied it. The fine lines around my eyes, disappears within minutes. The deep lines 'fill up' and looks better than before I applied it.I made a point of noticing how long it lasts and on me - it's a good solid 2 hours. It's great when I'm rushing out + it always stays in my purse.As Linda said on TV, the more you use it the better your skin will look in the long run. I believe her.This product is the BEST 'band aid' solution that I have ever used. I just keep looking younger and better and younger and better....This is great. My new secret weapon in life!I would highly recommend this product. Fines lines - GONEEEEEEE...It will definitely get you through the evening or an event. Fits very well in a clutch purse.
En résumé
Oui, je recommanderais ceci à un ami

Our aim is broadly humanistic and cross-cultural. With courses ranging from Goethe to contemporary German bestsellers, from the urban modernity of Munich and Berlin to representations of the Holocaust, our advanced curriculum offers a multi-faceted exposure to German culture and its national and international context.
All courses are taught in German. The first year focuses on all four language skills. In the second year, we pursue a comprehensive approach to reading, writing, and speaking through the study of selected literary and sociopolitical themes. The advanced curriculum consists of the lower (third-year) and the upper (fourth-year) levels.
We support a variety of activities that help to increase familiarity with German culture, such as film series, guest speakers, and a four-week summer program.

Communists in Congress? Florida Rep. claims dozens are Democrats
Reporter: Claire Doan
TUCSON (AP/KGUN9-TV) – Communists in Congress? Sounds like Joe McCarthy's claims from the 1950s, but one Florida lawmaker says it's happening right now.
U.S. Representative Allen West (R-Fla.) claimed dozens of Democrats in Congress are communists, referring to the Congressional Progressive Caucus, but members said he's trying to turn back the clock to the days of the Red Scare.
The town hall video from Florida has gone viral, with a constituent asking West how many "card-carrying Marxists or international socialists" are in Congress.
"I believe there are about 78 to 81 members of the Democratic Party that are members of the Community Party," West responded, going on to say that they are part of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
Congressman Raúl Grijalva is a member of that group.
"I think when people are forced to defend their positions and have position, they make outlandish claims. They make accusations and lie. And that is what Rep. West did. He lied," Grijalva told KGUN9 News.
West released the following statement to a CBS-affiliate in Miami explaining his comment: "The Community Party has referred to the Progressive Caucus as its allies. The Progressive Caucus speaks for itself. These individuals certainly aren't proponents of free markets or individual economic freedom."
Grijalva fired back, arguing his caucus represents mainstream America – but regardless of politics, West shouldn't stoop to name-calling.
"I think Republicans should feel very strongly about it. They might disagree with Progressive Caucus' position, but civility and fairplay – they should defend that," Grijalva said, adding that Republicans should denounce the comments.
9 On Your Side also caught up with Congressman Ed Pastor.
"Well I don't have a card. I'm not a member and I don't know where he got the information," Pastor. "But obviously the Communist Party even in the Soviet Union is gone, so either he's living in the past or read a book that scared him."
As for the Marxist cards that West claims some Democrats carry?
"I have no idea. I don't know where they come from and I'm sure Mr. West doesn't either," Grijalva said.
"I don't think you can go to Russia. China, maybe, but then I think it's going to very, very hard. They're very selective on who the hell is a member."

Time to bid farewell to the old pkg_ tools
February 3, 2014 by tabthorpe · 14 Comments
There comes a time in the life cycle of just about every software package that it has bee re-evaluated, refreshed, deprecated or just retired.
It is time that we bid farewell to the old pkg_* software that has been part of FreeBSD since the beginning, and has served us well. After years of development, testing, and playing, pkg(8) has become a suitable replacement.
Pkg is the Next Generation package management tool for FreeBSD. It is the replacement for the current pkg_info/pkg_create/pkg_add tools that ports use to register local packages and which provide remote packages. Its main goals are to facilitate remote binary package upgrades. It also works with ports without remote binary packages.
Pkg, combined with the quarterly release package sets, enables easy installation and safe upgrades for binary packages. Signed, binary packages are available for all supported FreeBSD releases on the i386 and  amd64 platforms from pkg.freebsd.org. Additionally, for those compiling ports from source, pkg's new database format gives more fine-grained querying and management of installed software.
New features on the drawing board, like automatic pkg-plist generation, sub-packages, creating multiple packages containing different parts of a port from one build process, and flavours, being able to ask for e.g. a webserver, without directly specifying a specific one, cannot be implemented in the old pkg_* tools and those plans are currently on hold.
You are not obligated to switch to binary packages, if you still prefer to compile your own ports, it is a simple matter of installing ports-mgmt/pkg, run pkg2ng, add WITH_PKGNG=yes to your make.conf and use pkg <action> instead of pkg_<action>.
You can read more about pkgng on the FreeBSD wiki, https://wiki.freebsd.org/pkgng.
The decision has been made to allow the old pkg_* software to be EoL'd 6Â months from now, at September 1, 2014 in all active FreeBSD branches.
Please start testing pkg(8) in your test environments before taking it live, you will find the benefits of full binary updates for your ports to be beneficial in a very short amount of time. Even if you prefer to compile from source, you will still reap the benefits of the modern packaging system.

A pair of courting cormorants soak up the sun in a newly minted marine protected area in Argentina. These seabirds share the Isla Pingüino Coastal Marine Park with sea lions, penguins, and dolphins.
Both regions boast abundant natural wonders, as well as fabled histories. In 1833, Charles Darwin ventured to Isla Pingüino, and Ferdinand Magellan executed mutineers intent on aborting the world's first circumnavigation of the globe on the San Julian inlet, which is bordered by the Makenke Costal Marine Park.
More important than these tales are the many species benefitting from Argentina's brand new parks. Large populations of sea lions live along Pingüino's coastline, which also shelters (and takes its name from) one of the only colonies of rockhopper penguins in Patagonia. In addition, one of the biggest colonies of imperial cormorants resides here. Further south, Makenke Park contains the country's largest colony of rare red-legged cormorants, breeding colonies of the dolphin gull, and pods of the small, yet spectacular Commerson's dolphin.

Bone Mineral Density in HIV+ Patients
- Full Text View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Utilizing an extremely well-characterized HIV cohort under observation as ART-naïve or since their first exposure to HIV treatment, the investigators will conduct a cross-sectional study with prospectively collected data to determine BMD in 200 subjects. Subjects identified were initially treatment naïve when entering the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) 1917 HIV Clinic between 1999 and 2010; some have been under observation without being treated with ART therapy and others were newly started on ART therapy while under observation. For each subject, the investigators will determine associations between BMD and 1) cumulative viremia, 2) ART duration, and 3) ART type.
Hypothesis 1a: BMD will be lowest in HIV+ subjects with the highest levels of cumulative viremia.
Hypothesis 1b: BMD will be greatest in HIV+ persons with longest duration of ART therapy, after excluding those subjects treated with tenofovir.
Hypotheses 1c: BMD will be lower in subjects treated with tenofovir vs. other ART agents, after controlling for duration of therapy.
Additionally, the investigators will conduct a retrospective study in 100 patients HIV+ and were ART-naïve at the time of entry into the 1917 Clinic in whom the investigators will longitudinally evaluate the relationship between HIV viral load, inflammation, and bone turnover (through the measurement of HIV copy-years viremia, interleukin-6 {IL-6}, tumor necrosis factor alpha {TNF-a}, high-sensitivity c-reactive protein {hsCRP}, osteocalcin, and urine C-telopeptide {CTX}). The investigators will compare HIV patients at a similar stage of their disease who remain treatment naïve (either due to concerns for compliance or sufficient CD4 counts without treatment) (ART-) vs. those newly started on ART (ART+).
Hypothesis 2: Viral load, markers of inflammation, and markers of bone resorption will all decrease in ART+ vs. ART- persons.

HIV+ patients that entered the 1917 Clinic at UAB as naive to ART
Detailed Description:
The life expectancy of persons infected with HIV has improved greatly since the institution of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). However, many metabolic derangements have been discovered with long-term cART therapy, including lipodystrophy, insulin resistance, and, more recently, abnormal bone metabolism. It is well documented that bone mineral density (BMD) in HIV+ patients is lower when compared with the expected BMD in non-HIV patients [1-10]. The underlying cause of lower BMD is unknown but it is felt to be a multifactorial process [10-14]. Current guidelines recommend first line treatments consist of a combination of protease inhibitor (PI) or non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) in combination with two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). Despite the known change in BMD in HIV+ persons, less is known about the effect of antiretroviral (ART) exposure and duration of treatment, ART type, and cumulative HIV viremia on bone health. This is demonstrated by studies showing loss of BMD with use of protease inhibitors compared to other regimen [15], other studies showing more detrimental effect from NRTIs [6, 9, 16], and yet others that have shown that BMD improves with all ART therapy [17]. Tenofovir (an NRTI), in particular, has been implicated as playing a role in bone changes, possibly due to its effect at the proximal tubule leading to a Fanconi-like syndrome with phosphate wasting [18]. Tenofovir led to significant reductions in BMD of children and this loss reversed after tenofovir was stopped [9]; other studies have shown similar deleterious effects [16]. A recent study evaluating the effect of continuous ART therapy vs. intermittent use for viral suppression showed that patients receiving continuous ART had greater loss of BMD, despite an increased risk of AIDS progression, myocardial infarction, or renal- or liver-failure [19]. However, prior longitudinal studies with longer follow-up have shown that the initial loss of BMD following ART is recovered and longer-term BMD changes are similar to changes seen in HIV-negative persons [20-22]. There is evidence that there is a positive correlation between HIV viremia and proinflammatory cytokines and that up-regulated proinflammatory cytokines may play a role in both osteoclast and osteoblast function. Prior studies have shown that during HIV infection osteoblast and osteoclast function is uncoupled and following ART treatment, regulation of bone turnover and formation ensues [23]. However, changes in cytokines have not been correlated with BMD and changes in bone turnover during routine ART treatment, to our knowledge. Most studies to date have been cross-sectional studies comparing HIV+ (with varying ART exposure histories) and HIV- persons or small longitudinal studies with limited sample sizes and short duration. It is not known if the decline of proinflammatory cytokines which occurs concurrent with the fall in HIV viral loads leads to improved regulation of bone formation and hence a lower rate of bone loss and lower risk of fracture.

BUFFALO, N.Y. - The wait is finally over! You've heard us talking about our new look for a while and now it is here.
We premiered the new look on our Midday newscast on Tuesday. The look comes from feedback from viewers like you. You've told us you want a cleaner look that is less cluttered.
For the past decade, 2 On your Side had a "rundown" on the side of your screen showing upcoming stories. For the fans of that rundown, good news, it's not going away - it's just in a different place. We'll show the three upcoming stories as part of this new lay-out at the bottom of the screen.
If the wording on the graphics seems to be cut off on the screen, or if you never see the third line, your television setting may need to be changed. In most cases, this is caused by the viewing option for the screen to be on a zoom or stretch setting.
To put your screen in the right aspect ratio, cycle through the screen options until you see the correct full image. Most remotes have a button that can be used to change this setting. There is a picture of different remotes in this article that you can refer for help.
If you can't find this on your remote, you will need to enter your television menu setting to make the change there.
Please give yourself a little time - around two weeks, to adjust to the look, then tell us what you think about it by writing on to our WGRZ Facebook page, or by talking to us on Twitter. You can follow us @wgrz.

— RicardoMontes (@RicardoMontes1) October 23, 2013
I can't think of a sarcastic response for this one, so here's a GIF of resident ninja, Austin Berry
Orlando took one step closer to becoming an MLS club Tuesday night as the Orange County Board of Commissioners voted to approve funds for a new multi-purpose, soccer stadium in the town known for mouse ears and making dreams come true.
The club will now enter final negotiations with Major League Soccer to become the league's 21st franchise, with hopes for an official announcement in the next few months.
If it happens that soon, much speculation indicates that Phil Rawlins and Orlando City could enter MLS as early as 2015 along with confirmed expansion New York City FC.
Owned by Stoke City chairman Phil Rawlins, the club has been the cream of the crop in USL-Pro since the franchise to central Florida from Austin in late 2010.
Orlando City won its second USL-Pro championship earlier this year (the first came in 2011) and has also twice won the Commissioner's Cup (USL's form of the Supporter's Shield) in 2011 and 2012.
Of course Chicago Fire fans will remember the Lions best for the two sides meeting in the U.S. Open Cup quarterfinals in June at Toyota Park. An overall media swell surrounded Orlando City's Cinderella run to the final eight, only to see the Fire come out 5-1 winners in the match.
What do you think of Orlando's potential entry into MLS? Tell us below...
When Sasha Chanoff, the founder of RefugePoint, reached out to the Fire's ownership about hosting a family at Saturday's Fire game that seemed like the least we could do.
The Lokango family, a Congolese refugee family (whose lives RefugePoint saved) are new arrivals in Chicago. Prior to Chicago, they were living as refugees in Kenya for a number of years. Not only did they suffer unspeakably before escaping the Congo, but the 13-year-old, Emile, was shot in the leg in Nairobi because they were living in a dangerous area where refugees had become targets.
RefugePoint's Cheryl Hamilton, who escorted the family to Toyota Park, had met them a few months ago in Nairobi and worked with RefugePoint to get them out as soon as possible. They are overjoyed and overwhelmed with relief to finally be in Chicago and safe.
Sasha and Cheryl knew Chicago Fire owner Andrew Hauptman and had worked with the Hauptman family as they had hosted a fundraiser for RefugePoint in the past. Additionally, in 2010, RefugePoint's effort in protecting the world's most vulnerable refugees was awarded with the prestigious Charles Bronfman Prize (one of whose founders is Andrew Hauptman). As the boys also love soccer, Cheryl knew that it would be a warm Chicago welcome for them to come and experience a Chicago Fire game. They were seen cheering on the Fire and high-fiving other supporters after Mike Magee's magical penalty kick.
In the end, it was an honor to host the family and for them to be recognized on field during Saturday's game against Toronto. Their story touched everyone who met them at Toyota Park on Saturday, and they definitely brought the Men in Red good luck as well.

Move over Jeff Larentowicz, there's a new ninja in town.
Check out Austin Berry's mad skills as he cuts off a great Toronto FC through ball. Hiyah!!
What's more awesome than watching a Mike Magee penalty kick conversion? Watching a Mike Magee penalty kick conversion in slow motion, of course!
With the magic of a GoPro camera, a talented videographer (@laflores037), and some editing software, we're able to make it happen.
Check out this sweet video below, and remember to tweet your support of #MikeMageeMVP!
There were shots off the post, a disallowed goal, more Sean Johnson saves, the dramatic contexts of playoff contention and the last regular season home game of the season - Saturday's win had a handful of talking points, but it had really only one truly interesting scene: Mike Magee's game winning penalty.
Because despite the atmosphere and everything that was at stake, the game, in fact was pretty flat. Maybe it was the rain-soaked field, maybe it was a bit of nerves but Fire fans had to be uncomfortable when they saw the first 10 minutes with little of the urgency, high pressure, and high defensive line that pushed the team to those two huge away wins in D.C. and Dallas. Toronto was finding gaps all over the field to exploit and if it wasn't for such bad finishing by Robert Earnshaw, they would've been in front.
The Fire grew into the game, however, and were in control when Magee scored the winning penalty. Then, as we've seen for the past month or so, the Fire managed the remainder of the and took all the points.
So maybe it's good that it wasn't a spectacle of high drama. Maybe it was just a professional victory -- a cold blooded three point snatch.
But then there was Magee's PK.
Just a few weeks ago, Magee hit the crossbar with what would've been a game winning PK against Montreal. It cost the Fire two crucial points. "Tonight's on me," he said after the game. "It won't be the last one I miss but I'm confident taking them and I'll bury the next one."
It's more or less the approach you expect from someone leading the league in goals and there aren't many better opportunities to pad your stats than from the penalty spot.
And yet, and YET, Saturday's PK was terrifying. I didn't like the way Magee looked, I didn't like his set up. He kept wiping his hands, and he started his run-up exactly at the whistle. You can often tell if a player's going to score their PK based on their face, their calm, their approach, and their cool. We all know Magee is cool in front of goal, but wouldn't the Montreal miss be on his mind? There he was, right in front of Section 8, back in his home city, a stadium chanting MVP - it was a moment, just a second or two, where some people might have thought about the whole chaos of the season. All the missed chances, all the posts they hit, all the points they dropped, all the mistakes and antagonism and pressure.
It happened so fast. Magee didn't let the moment fester. He knew what he was going to do. He knows where the goal is. He wipes his hands, he tugs his shorts down a bit, he looks at the ref waiting for the whistle. When it comes he leaps off the line like a 5k start, skips a bit to the left of the ball, and approaching it that way, executes the deftest of chips right into where the goalie's chest would've been if he hadn't dove down to his right, where he thought Magee would go.
What I love about the way he took it is that he seemed to beat the rhythm of the game. I wanted a dramatic pause. I wanted to consider the entire season in the moment, and I wanted him to look straight at the keeper with fire in his eyes, like Rivaldo in 2002. But then, that's what makes him such a good finisher, isn't it? It's the way he seems to catch defenders and goalies unaware. For some goals he's quicker than you think he can be, and for others he seems to wait an eternity before calmly putting it away. The PK on Saturday was a combination of both. It had the quickness to take a few people by surprise (and short circuit any nerves), and the calmness to chip a Pirlo-esque panenka in front of thousands of people, in the most important game of the season.
After the game, Magee admitted he had some nervousness: "Normally I get up there and don't think twice about missing, and this time the last one off the back of the post was on my mind, so I figured I couldn't hit it off the post if I shot it up the middle."
Even when admitting nerves, he sounds like the doubt in his mind didn't really make him fear not scoring, it just pushed him to score differently.
And so now the Fire go to New York with nerves and doubts, but like Magee, they'll have to use those doubts to push forward. They've learned from their mistakes against Montreal (and Columbus, and etc. etc.) but for three games in a row they've managed games and have a chance to finish the season the way Magee finished his PK: maybe a little afraid of the posts, maybe not exactly with the suave calmness of a secure playoff spot, but with a chance to kill it off, take the points, and head into the playoffs.
On Sunday, Chicago's third annual Chicago Ideas Week (CIW) officially came to a close. The Fire were excited to be one of two sports teams in town (the other being the Bulls) to participate. CIW has quickly grown to be Chicago's premier event for sharing ideas, inspiring action, and igniting change to positively impact our world and getting invited to participate is a great honor.
More than 30 students came to Toyota Park on Friday afternoon to join in our Youth Lab. Representatives from each area of the Front Office set aside their time to give the group a behind-the-scenes look at the Fire, from getting ready for game day to what it takes to be a good corporate citizen, to what it really takes if you want to work in sports. The evening wrapped with an all-access tour of Toyota Park.
While we're sad to see another Chicago Ideas Week come and go, we were definitely happy to play host this year (even late on a Friday afternoon). Check out https://www.chicagoideas.com/ for more great content from this year's week.
I'm not going to bog you down with a bunch of math, it is Sunday afterall.

By CHUCK GATESContributing writer
Local government leaders must brace themselves to withstand the coming budgetary collision of entitlement programs and funding obligations at the federal and state levels, local officials were told at the annual conference of the Utah League of Cities and Towns held last week in Salt Lake City.
Sen. Dan Liljenquist, R-Bountiful, told the 103rd annual conference that growing financial obligations for Medicaid and education represent "two huge forces crashing together" creating unprecedented pressures on the state.
Liljenquist, who helped broker legislation in the 2009 legislative session to help tame out-of-control pension costs in the state's retirement system, said the next 10 years will see a 30 percent increase in the state's student population. He further warns that Medicaid's current cost arc is "absolutely unsustainable."
He said Medicaid, which represented nine percent of Utah's general fund expenditures in 1999, now represents 18 percent of the general fund pie. More worrisome are projections placing that figure at 40 percent of the general fund budget a decade from now unless action is taken soon. The general fund is the only discretionary spending freedom the state has, currently representing 17 percent of the overall Utah budget.
Utah House Speaker Rep. Dave Clark, R-Santa Clara, told the same gathering that even in the short term Utah is going to be budget-challenged. He said that come next July, state government is looking at a $313 million shortfall just to maintain current funding levels for fiscal 2012.
"It's not just next budget year but well into the future," Clark said, adding that general and education funds have been decreasing since 2008. "The good news is that it's not as bad as it looked several months ago; the bad news is that it's still not good."
Clark told local leaders that the pressures being felt at the federal and state levels will "trickle down" to local government in the form of, among other things, decreased funding for roads and enforcement of whatever immigration reform legislation is ultimately adopted during the next legislative session.
Tapping his southern Utah roots, Clark said, when the horse you're riding dies you dismount and find a new horse, but that's not what is happening in Washington, D.C. these days. He said it's beyond irresponsible that 41-cents of every dollar spent by congress is borrowed.
Price Mayor Joe Piccolo, who attended the conference along with a number of council members from the town said he's confident his city will successfully navigate these challenging times.
"We're within our budget; we're not suffering high unemployment," Piccolo said stressing the positive. "We my never get back to where we were (a few years ago), but we're prepared to deal with what we'll be facing."
Orangeville Treasurer Cindy Nielsen said there is definitely a trickle down effect being felt even in her small town of 1,300 residents. Although Orangeville only has three fulltime employees and a $400,000 yearly budget, the impact isn't lessened when the city is required to increase retirement contributions, as was the case this year.
"How do you handle that when it's such a large part of the payroll?" she asks.
Liljenquist said health care costs in general have formed a classic bubble. Medicaid is also out of control, he said, having been turned into a hammock - a destination. It's no longer merely a safety net as folks are now looking to find their way onto Medicaid because it's so generous. He argues that the system needs to be recalibrated to curb spending. But it needs to reflect, "how much can we afford and how much does that buy?"
Clark, who's been a player on the national stage for health care and Medicaid reform in recent years, said Utah is definitely on the right track. Others have pointed out that health care costs for the nation would drop by one-third if other states delivered health care the way Utah does.
"But even then, it's financially unsustainable," admits Clark, acknowledging major overhauls to Medicaid like those pushed by Liljenquist and others for the retirement system need to be a key part of the solution.
Clark said he's buoyed because Utah has always shown a willingness to address future obligations before they become a crisis.
"Reality is not negotiable. It'll be difficult, but we'll be able to get through this," concluded Liljenquist.

my old car had a wing (stock) on the trunk, but it was just decoration until around 110+. then again, it looked hot standing still, lol. it was a 2000 subaru impreza 2.5rs coupe. that car wasnt really made for top end speeds, more for handling and what not. that mustang shouldbe beastly on the expressway. im sure that with the new driveshaft and the proper tune, red line and gear ration should be the only limiting factor in top speed. that and your willingness to go faster, lol.
where did you get the eject button cig lighter? that would be amusing in my car.
one thing about the back pressure in your car, if you are not running forced induction (turbo or supercharger) then you need back pressure. not a lot, but enough to help with the vacuum it creates on the exhaust stroke that helps pull in the fresh air and fuel mixture on the intake stroke. on a naturally aspirated engine, there is overlap in the intake and exhaust strokes, granted its small, but its enough to help suck the fuel air mixture into the cylinders. the moral of the story, unless you have boost of some sort, don't go too large on the exhaust sizing. too small you will have too much back pressure, too large, not enough. if the gt exhaust is the factory parts, you should be ok, they wouldnt be too oversized. it would be like me putting sti pipes on my wrx, but being that the wrx is turbo, I don't need back pressure from the exhaust, the turbo forces air into the engine and the exhaust side of the turbo creates all the back pressure it needs.
/end rant.
sorry about that, its 4am and I can't sleep, thus I am a little loopy. hmm, should be fun for the interview I have at 0830.

This section describes how to use mysqldump to produce dump files, and how to reload dump files. A dump file can be used in several ways:
As a backup to enable data recovery in case of data loss.
As a source of data for setting up replication slaves.
As a source of data for experimentation:
To make a copy of a database that you can use without changing the original data.
To test potential upgrade incompatibilities.
mysqldump produces two types of output,
depending on whether the
option is given:
mysqldump writes SQL statements to the
standard output. This output consists of
CREATE statements to create dumped objects
(databases, tables, stored routines, and so forth), and
INSERT statements to load data into tables.
The output can be saved in a file and reloaded later using
mysql to recreate the dumped objects.
Options are available to modify the format of the SQL
statements, and to control which objects are dumped.
mysqldump produces two output files for
each dumped table. The server writes one file as tab-delimited
text, one line per table row. This file is named
in the output directory. The server also sends a
CREATE TABLE statement for the
table to mysqldump, which writes it as a
file named
in the output directory.

There is an interesting script sample here: http://www.docplanet.org/linux/backing-up-linux-web-server-live-via-ssh/
showing a way to dump mysql databases directly into gzip and then into ssh connection, thus creating a gzipped dump archive that never resided on the server hard drive. This can be a handy way to ensure that backup does not fill up the server hard drive and enables you to backup your server even when the disk drive is near 100% full.

mysqldump, with "--lock-all-tables" option, runs "FLUSH TABLES" / "FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK" which purges entire query cache.

With mega-earner Humira in its back pocket and a dearth of major patent expirations, Abbott seems well-positioned. Sales rose in 2011, and the company saw out-of-US sales take the lead in its revenue portfolio. In an April research note, Jefferies analyst Jeffery Holford called the company a top pick, citing "impressive top-line results" for its all-oral hepatitis C therapy (in Phase IIb) and positive earnings momentum. Abbott also managed to expand its Humira empire when the EU approved the drug to treat ulcerative colitis. Company plans also include dividing into two this year. The changeover will result in a diagnostics/devices firm called Abbott and a research-based pharma company named AbbVie, now up for sale.

|Rehabilitation at Gorge continues
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Tuesday, 08 May 2007 06:17
Rehabilitation efforts by firefighters assigned to the Pisgah wildfire will continue today.Two crews, a helicopter, engine and dozer are being used for the efforts. Crews will be placed at specific areas of the fire perimeter in order to accomplish rehabilitation objectives. Crews will also be scanning the perimeter lines and interior for any tell-tale smokes. Such smoke would show heat still harboring in stumps and logs. Work will include cleaning up trails and fire lines. The rehabilitation and monitoring is expected to continue for the duration of this week before the local U.S. Forest Service team hands operations back to the Grandfather Ranger District. Closures in the Linville Gorge Wilderness and the Table Rock area continue today.

|Great Friend to Families Awards
|Written by Kathy Parham
|Monday, 16 April 2012 05:37
Presented by Storie Street Grille and the Orthodontists & Pediatric Dentists Drs. Mayhew, Conn, Scheffler and Hardaway, the 4th annual Great Friend to Families award recognizes sustained contributions by an individual to the well-being of young children and their families in the High Country area.
This year The Playhouse is presenting awards in two categories: Helping Hands and Helping Hearts. Helping Hands awards celebrates professionals who over the course of their careers have shown extraordinary dedication to improving the lives of children and families and Helping Hearts awards recognizes individuals who have touched the lives of children and families through generous philanthropy and/or outstanding volunteerism. The Helping Hands award winners are Jim Atkinson, Nancy Blair, Barbara Case, Heather Jordan, Crystal Kelly, Trish Lanier, Margaret Mullins, Gay Lynn Williams, Mary Willis, and Joan Zimmerman. The Helping Hearts are Susan Bolash, Christopher Clark, Kathleen Collins, Rebekah Cummings, Beth Darnell, Carolyn Garland, Betty Green, Jack and Karen James, Jo Anne Jenkins, Diandra (Lynn) Patterson, Bob and Wimsey Powell, Kim Roberts, and Catherine Wilkinson. A group of local leaders (Susan Jones of BREMCO, Ron Henries of the United Way, and last year's winners Dick and Joan Hearn) will choose from the Helping Hands and Helping Hearts awards one overall winner who will be further honored as the 2012 Great Friend to Families award-winner. This overall award winner, who will be announced at the luncheon, will receive $500 to donate to the High Country nonprofit of their choice. The luncheon will feature music and reflections from distinguished songwriter and teacher Lisa Baldwin and will be catered by presenting sponsor Storie Street Grille. A past Teacher of the Year at Cove Creek School, Baldwin is a professional performer and songwriter and has created her own program for introducing very young children to the love of learning through music called Music, Minds, and Motion. Catered by Storie Street Grille, the luncheon will be from noon to 2 pm on Saturday April 21 at the High Country Home Builders' Plaza (755 NC Hwy. 105 By-Pass in Boone).Tickets are $20 per person, of which $15 is tax-deductible. Click here to buy a ticket. Proceeds from the event will benefit The Children's Playhouse, a nonprofit children's museum in Boone. For more information, see www.goplayhouse.org.

Hello, all! My boss has tasked me with finding out if there is a graphing module (ex: phpgraphlib, which does NOT do what I need) that allows graphs to change size with the size of the window. So if a user shrinks or expands the window, the graph shrinks and expands with it accordingly.
So far my searches on the internetz have yielded no results. I might be able to create a solution myself, but I figured I'd ask around to see if anyone else knew of anything first.
Thanks so much for your help!

Internet Marketing
I was browsing one of the internet marketing forums the other day, and stumbled on a thread titled "What happened to the 4 pillars of Internet Marketing?".
For those of you who don't know what the 4 original pillars of internet marketing are, here's a quick recap:
1. Product. Product is very important, I mean, that is what you are selling, right?
2. Price. 95% of all the selling propositions are being turned down because of the price. Probably this is the reason 1$ trials work so well.
3. Promotion. Traffic, Copywriting, PPC and basically anything related to generating traffic and driving leads.
4. Place. You can't go to a synagogue and try to sell pork chops. I mean, you can, but…Trust me, you don't want to. *Hint: big rocks and your head.
Those are the 4 pillars of internet marketing, according to the old school Gurus. However, world is rapidly changing, and we must keep up with it.
Those pillars no longer apply when it comes down to 21st century's internet marketing industry. They probably still do when selling tea or rice, but when it comes to sophisticated customers who shop online, nahah! Different approach is required!
After taking a cold hard look at the internet marketing industry today as we know it, I have created a new internet marketing pillar blueprint. I am not saying this is going to go global right away, but I do believe it what is needed to be done, if you want to build a profitable internet marketing business.
1. Traffic. You can say it goes under promotion, but Traffic is not about promotion anymore. Today, when the customer gets destructed so easily, traffic has became more about grabbing attention. If you know how to grab person's attention when he is surfing the web, you got traffic!
2. Conversion. Internet Marketing is all about conversions, are you kidding me? Capture pages, click through rates, bounce rates etc. Everything is needed to be tested, modified, customized and tested some more!
3. Growth. Growth applies to you, the person behind the product. The only way you can be providing more value and getting more sales is by growing. Not in height, but in mind. Growing your knowledge base and raising your personal value through the roof.
4. Content. This is actually an inevitable byproduct of growth. Providing quality content is what is going to separate you from the spammers, self promoters and uneducated newbies who have no clue how to market online.
This is my personal view on the 4 new age pillars of internet marketing. You can support me, or you can dispute me, the choice is yours and comments are welcomed, however, remember that marketing isn't about you or your product going viral, it is always about the consumer.

On my tent seams, I actually had to re-stitch, then seal it. My largest job was when the vinyl window on the rain fly of my REI tent simply let loose — literally coming off. It took a few evenings… Full review
Gear Aid SilFix Sil-Nylon Repair Kit
Great repair kit for fixing holes and tears in sil-nylon material used by many manufactures of lightweight backpacks and tents. As I've been adding lighter weight gear to my backpacking and hiking arsenal, I've run across the complications of making those choices. That being, these lighter weight packs and tents using sil-nylon materials are not as durable as their heavier weight counterparts. My first purchase was the Marmot Kompressor Summit, which is a lightweight 28L day pack which uses sil-nylon… Full review
Gear Aid ReviveX Leather Gel Water Repellent & Conditioner
This product simply does not work. $12 at Sports Authority and an entire bottle of it did NOTHING to make a hat rain repellant. Completely worthless product (except it costs $12). There are other less expensive brands that probably DO work. This product does not work. Sprayed the product on a fur felt hat and let it dry. The rain soaked the hat. Prima facie that the product does not work. The can says it works on jackets, hats, shoes, waders, tents, and packs. Maybe you need to use five or six cans… Full review
McNett MiraZyme Odor Eliminator
This is a product that you can spray on your clothes to remove odors. Let's face it, there are just some fabrics that hold onto the smell of perspiration. As a triathlete I have several synthetic technical fabric shirts and even after washing them, they still smell. I have tried a variety of special detergents: Penguin Wash, Win, Sport Suds, and a few others. They do better than regular detergent, but there are always a few shirts that still reek even after multiple washes. So I tried the Mirazyme. Full review
Atsko Sno-Seal
For chrome-tanned boots, I've never found anything better to keep the water out. It's hard to beat LoneStranger's review of Sno-Seal! I've only used it on my hiking and climbing boots, so I can't testify to its use on belts and jackets. If it's as good on these other applications as it is on boots, It must be greater than I even thought. I started using Sno-Seal in the mid '60s when I got into serious mountaineering — this really was the only thing available besides silicone liquids which were… Full review
Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarProof
Nice for backpack waterproofing and tent. Full review
Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarProof
A good tent is not cheap, take care of your investment! Treated my tent fly and tent after one season of use. It was very easy to apply, just spray it on your tent and tent fly and wipe off access. If you don't wipe if off it leaves some residue. Took my tent out backpacking in Colorado over Memorial Weekend after using this product. We encountered rain, thunderstorms, hail, and everything else mother nature could throw at us at 10,000 ft and we did not have a drop of water in our tent. I am thouroughly… Full review
Gear Aid Tent Sure Tent Floor Sealant
Tested in the Colorado backcountry in "not-so-pleasant" weather. This is a great product that does what it claims. I would recommend application before each season. Backpacking gear and clothing is expensive and I'm sure no one wants to get it wet, especially inside your tent. I applied the floor sealant to my Mountain Hardware Light Wedge 3 at the beginning of the season. Application of the product was easy, it didn't smell too bad, and it dried quickly. I would definitely make sure the… Full review
