text: JayinNC 5pts Would anybody like to share their thoughts on why we are not bringing more auto jobs back home? When is Obama going to make the US Auto Industry bring some overseas autojobs back home. I know because of a global economy he can't bring all auto jobs back home, but when are we going to start making things like ball bearings in the US again? We need new jobs besides energy jobs. Why are we not taxing all American and foreign companies on things they make overseas. We should! An example is GM's Wagner and the execs are making tons of money buying up shares of stock of overseas car companies and imports, and refusing to make good American made quality products because its expensive labor. B.S. greedy bastards! Gov't should tax overseas imports so it costs the same to make that car here as there , and GM wil be forced to make good American cars. A Saturn car hybrid that gets 25 intown and 34 highway is ridicuous. Make a Saturn gas hybrid that gets 30 in town and 45 highway and then we can talk GM. The Gov't should not stop global imports, just put a good tariff on them. Place technology before politics and pocket lining. That is why Japan is kicking our ass! America places politics before technology, and Japan places technology before politics. The county with deep pockets , good business and work ethics, and the state of the art technology rules the world. Wagoner was not a good CEO. look at fueleconomy.gov, and compare the honda civic hybird to a saturn car hybrid. the saturn (GM product) sucks. Think about my theory. Ford owns Volvo. Didn't GM buy a bunch of Isuzu stock a while back? The problem with GM is dependable quality,and gas mileage. Screw gas cars and low quality hybrids GM. Sell diesel cars, not trucks. Make Saturn hybrids that run off diesel and get 35 in town and 50 highway, then see what Japan has to say about it with its imports. I AM FULLY OPEN TO RESPECTFUL CRITICISM THAT DOES NOT INVOLVE CUS WORDS. I KNOW I CAN LEARN SOME THINGS FROM OTHERS. PLEASE COMMENT.

Comments about Hal Leonard FastTrack Bass Method Book 1 CD Package:
i got this book 2 years ago when i frist got my bass. it teaches you basics and what not but it really bored me when i was practicing. so if you buy this prepared to be bored. if you dont want to be take lessons or something. ive been fine for 2 years and im one of the best ones in my band. i have a great knowledge of my instrument. so try teaching yourself without a book before you buy this.
Comments about Hal Leonard FastTrack Bass Method Book 1 CD Package:
This book has taught me everything I know! It is excellent, and alot of fun!It also has some really fun songs. When you use this book make sure you use the Cd, it is very helpful to hear how it goes and to stay in time. Overall, I would suggest it to all players alike!I would also suggest FastTrack Bass Songbook 1, and FastTrack Bass Book 2 they are very helpful on the road to bein a bass player.
Comments about Hal Leonard FastTrack Bass Method Book 1 CD Package:
I've never done a review before, but I simply had to rate this one! I've bought 3 bass books a month ago, and the other two weren't satisfying at all, but Fast Track is great!!! I've worked thru half the book in 1 month, practising an hour a day. My fingers are much stronger now and it's so much fun, because it's not about boring theory and endless scale-practice. The riffs and songs are accompanied on CD, you feel like playing in a band already ! Thumbs up for this book ! Hope I'll be playing like Steve Harris, soon !

Insistent Notifications
Asked on Feb 14, 2014 - 16:37 UTC
There is one little thing that is missing from todoist. If I miss a reminder, I need the system to remind me again, until I acknowledge the reminder.
Please let me know if there is a workaround for this, as I am considering a refund (this feature is extremely important to me)

Hi Victor,
There are no options for reminders that keep notifying you about the task. You can add multiple reminders to one task, one after the other. On Android, there is the option to Snooze a reminder, but this is only available on Android at this time.

The annual conference and exhibition, sponsored by the University's Texas Hurricane Center for Innovative Technology, was attended by government and industry representatives. Houston City Councilmember Steven Costello says while it may be old hat for most of us to be ready for hurricane season six months out of each year, each weather system, hurricane or not, is different.
"We need to remind them that this could be a real problem. When I first got involved in this business, it wasn't a hurricane. It was a tropical storm. It was just a rainfall event. And so, it could happen even without wind that there are problems. So we just need to be pro-active in giving that message to everyone and saying okay, here is what's available to you. Please be prepared, please practice it, and just be pro-active and continue to be pro-active during an entire hurricane season."
Harris County Judge Ed Emmett is in constant contact with his staff and with officials at TranStar. He says attending this conference affords him and other attendees a chance to learn something new from the academics.
"Where do we think things are going in the future? And that's why having the academics involved is a good idea."
Hernandez: "Might this particular conference take on added significance because of what might be brewing in the next week?"
Emmett: "Well, the great thing about having a storm like Ernesto show up in the far reaches of the Caribbean, is that it gets everybody's attention. Anytime you have the meteorologist being, some of them almost breathless because they now have something to talk about, that's actually a good thing in my book, because it does get people's attention. So the timing of this conference with Ernesto, it's almost like they staged it."
Jack Steele is executive director of the Houston-Galveston Area Council. He says the media will always play a major role in responding to a hurricane.
"Because that's where we all get our information, particularly our electronic media. And so the more focused we can get through the electronic media on: These are the surge zones. This is what impacts you, begin to plan, understand that you may need to evacuate, know your evacuation routes.' And then listen to the media when there's the possibility of a storm, so that you can take action promptly."
He hopes attendees got three things out of the conference:
"[One] remember that we gotta continue to plan, because our region is growing, second, prepare early, [and] third, stay informed."
Meanwhile, Ernesto's current forecast track shows it possibly becoming a hurricane next week.

This year's Broadway-musical-to-movie transfers didn't fare too well with the Academy Awards nominating committee, which announced its picks this morning. Sweeney Todd, Tim Burton's cinematic take on the 1979 Broadway musical, didn't get a Best Picture nomination, but star Johnny Depp did receive a nod for Best Actor. Sweeney was also recognized for its Art Direction and Costume Design. Surprisingly, the Hairspray film — which was a critical and box office smash this summer — didn't take away any Oscar nominations at all.

Broadway Diva Idina Menzel To Celebrate Solo CD Release at Virgin Megastore
Idina Menzel, who was catapulted to Broadway fame in Wicked, will be celebrating the release of her new solo album I Stand at the Virgin Megastore (1540 Broadway) in Times Square. On January 29 at 6:30pm, Menzel will perform for fans and will also do a CD signing in the store. Wristbands to attend the event will be given to anyone who buys the CD there, beginning at 9am that morning.

Spelling Bee Closes on Broadway Today
The sweet, quirky Broadway musical The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee ends its run at the Circle in the Square Theatre today. Spelling Bee was an Off-Broadway hit at the Second Stage Theatre before transferring to Broadway, where it has played over 1,100 performances. The show is about — what else? — a spelling bee, and in addition to the six cast members playing student spellers, four people from the audience also got to join the competition onstage each night. Spelling Bee lives on through its original Broadway cast recording, and no doubt many regional theaters will now be angling to produce it.
Shrek Is Coming To Broadway In November 2008

It's November on Broadway Tonight
David Mamet's new play November has its official Broadway opening this evening at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre. Starring Nathan Lane, November is a farcical comedy about an unpopular U.S. president in the midst of a disastrous re-election campaign.
Rent To Close On Broadway June 1st
It's been rumored for years, but Rent has finally posted its Broadway closing notice. The seventh longest running Broadway musical of all time has announced that its final performance at the Nederlander Theatre in New York City will be on June 1st. News of the impending closing will undoubtedly drive up ticket sales, making it very possible that the show will actually extend through the summer — but that remains to be seen.
The closing of Rent will be the end of an era. A contemporary take on Puccini's La Boheme, Rent opened in 1996 to rave reviews and brought a whole new generation to Broadway. The youth-oriented musical introduced the practice of selling discounted front row orchestra tickets for $20 on the day of performance, prompting many devoted fans to spend the night on line in front of the theater (until they began distributing tickets via lottery).
If you haven't yet seen this groundbreaking musical on Broadway, or if you're a "Rent-head" wanting to catch it again before the end, find out how to get your discount tickets here.

Sweeney Todd Wins Two Golden Globe Awards!
Sweeney Todd just won the Golden Globe award for Best Film (Musical or Comedy), and Sweeney himself, Johnny Depp, won the award for Best Actor! Unfortunately Broadway fans didn't get to see Sweeney's triumph unfold with fanfare, since this year's Globes were handed out in a press conference rather than the usual lavish ceremony. But, all the same, it's a good day for Broadway!

This dry shampoo is just mediocre for me. It doesn't feel like it soaks up any oil and actually makes hair flatter. got2b Powder'ful Volumizing Styling Powder is way better!

Yay! A great cheapie dry shampoo! I was having a bad hair day at work ( late night before, no time to shampoo) so I ran across the street to the drug store. i grabbed the "Wild" can ( mainly because of the leopard print ;) and ran back to my office. Using this at first go on my dark hair was a little un-nerving as it left white powder. Get your fingers in there and its blended in within seconds.
A little backcombing and wala! i have Victorias Secret model hair .. well maybe a just a little.
Bottom line, great for a freshen up in a pinch.

I hate this product. I was looking for a dry shampoo as I only wash my hair once a week because I dont like to heat style my hair too often to maintain its health and usually its still fresh and straight but by the 4th day it starts getting oily.I wanted something to refresh my hair inbetween my weekly washes and this just sucks. the scent is nice but thats about it.when I applied it there was a bit of white residue and it had a wierd texture but a few days later I broke out in horrible itchy spots all over my neck and shoulders (thank god not my face!) I had spent a lot of money getting teatment from my doc who said it was an allergy to a new hair product that I've used.this really surprised me as I don't have sensitive skin and nothing like this has happened to me before. if I could I would give this 0 stars.

Uhmmmm...what am I doing wrong because this is not working?? I tried it many times before writting this review. I used it for 2nd day hair and for 3rd hair (very greasy). I watched videos and tried applying the pwoder in many ways and it still didn't work. It makes my hair hard sticky!!? I had high hopes because I have oily hair and I didn't want to wash my hair every 2 days. Not working. Not repurchasing.

This is my favourite dry shampoo that I've tried. My hair is very fine and long so it gets oily and weighed down after a day or less. This shampoo does the trick as far as making it smell and look fresh.

This product is AMAZING. I've tried just about every dry shampoo out there, and this is by far the best. I gave up a while ago on dry shampoo, as I loved the concept and was very determined to find one that worked, but after a certain amount of money and after every one being a failure, I lost hope. This is not sticky, is very fresh smelling, and literally blasts grease and oil away. I was shocked after the first spray ! After using this I honestly feel like I've washed my hair. I have long, slightly on the thicker side, dark brown hair. My hair is almost black, and this product never leaves a white color behind from the powder. As long as you rub it in really good with your fingers and then brush it out properly and thoroughly, there should be no white left over on your roots. This is the only dry shampoo I will ever use ! Holy Grail product hands down ! I was blown away. Ignore every other dry shampoo out there, save your money, and go buy this. You will not regret it !

A great dry shampoo. The scent(i use the original, green/blue/yellow can) is fresh and subtle. It doesn't leave powdery residue or make my hair dry. Just takes the oils away and leaves a clean looking shine.

its cheap but its not the best out there. it doesn't take away the smell of grease all the way, u also need to use like half the bottle on ur hair for it to take away all the grease so I actually used the bottle 3-4 times. so that makes it pricey.

Honestly, I don,t understand this phenomenon of Batiste shampoo. Maybe it's cheap, but it isn't very helpful when someone really need some fresh up for hair. More I recommend powders hair. I think that this kind of product - dry shampoo - does not solve the problem of refreshing greasy hair. Advantage of Batiste Dry Shampoo - nice scents.

I love using dry shampoo! Particularly the XXL Volume one by Batiste. I wash my hair every day but I use this throughout the day to add volume and freshness back in! I diary it on and leave it for about 30 seconds then back comb it into my roots, been using it for about 2 years now and I would never leave home without it. Love ❤

Speed Up Your Website with Better Image Optimization in Photoshop
With Photoshop, are you really paying attention to how you're saving images for the web? Optimizing images can drastically decrease load times when done properly!
Visual design is the use of imagery, color, shapes, typography, and form to enhance usability and improve the user experience. Visual design as a field has grown out of both UI design and graphic design.
With Photoshop, are you really paying attention to how you're saving images for the web? Optimizing images can drastically decrease load times when done properly!
Load times are unavoidable in some circumstances. It is critical to be keep the user informed of what is happening and how much longer the process should take.
In this third and final installment of the Creating Consistently Colorful User Experiences series, we detail the actual process of successfully picking and implementing a color scheme.
Coloring the online user experience has never been an easy task; but it's getting easier. Looking back at older web pages, we can see an obvious evolution of the medium. In this article we explore color on the web so that readers may form a working knowledge of the limitations of a web-browser. Lastly, we look ahead to how color will be treated in future versions of CSS.
So you think your work is aesthetically pleasing and meets your client's goals? Then, why not showcase it with a user-friendly portfolio? Selling your company's services involves more than slapping up a screenshot and a link. If users find your portfolio difficult to navigate or it lacking information then prepare to lose business to your competitors.
Color is one of the most important parts of your website. However, far too often color enters the equation as an afterthought or, worse, not all all. This isn't adequate. Color help define how users perceive information. To add to the complexity of this issue, most of the judgements people make about your site's color schemes are subconscious. They may not provide any feedback about your site's color, but they're always thinking about it.

A Native American is teaching his grandson about life. "A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy.
"It is a terrible fight between two wolves. One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, and ego." He continued, "The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you - and inside everyone."
The grandson thought about it and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"
The Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

From first-year anatomy to graduation, Maris V. Hazners welcomes medical-school students to downtown hub.
"My part here is to enhance their education by listening to what they need," says Maris V. Hazners. Photo by Sabree Hill
While many are taught to practice the golden rule, Maris V. Hazners goes platinum.
As manager of the School of Medicine's bookstore, he both inspired and won the Owl Club's Spirit of Tulane award for consistently going beyond the call of duty in helping students.
"The golden rule is to do unto others as you want done unto you," he explains. "The platinum rule is to treat them as they want to be treated, as they should be treated. I try to go that one step above."
And students are responding. Hazners is proud to have won the only award voted on by all four classes of the student body. His methods of service are simple, but effective. He listens. Hazners says part of his job is communicating the feedback he receives from one year's students to the next.
"They'll come to me and say, 'I heard you know what I need to buy.' That just makes me feel so good. My part here is to enhance their education by listening to what they need. One flash card might sell better than another because of a useful clinical vignette, for example, and I parrot that information to new students. I guide them through all the different references."
Another way Hazners achieves such a close relationship with students is by sharing his love of music. Each member of last year's graduating class received a CD of Hazners' favorite songs from his musical library spanning the eighties, and it's a tradition he plans to continue.
"I called it All My Best to the Best because I worked with them all the way through. I started here when they started here, so I was very close with that class."
In July 2006, in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Hazners scrambled to accommodate students with otherwise limited options. The cafeteria had not yet re-opened, the library operated with limited hours and there was no student lounge. In addition, most area drugstores were closed.
"After class, they came in and I said 'C'mon, let's set up the corner by the window with couch chairs,' and they all gathered in that area. I took my own chairs out of the back room and gave them a space where they could congregate and build camaraderie.
"In 2004, when I first started [at the medical bookstore], I'd walk the aisles and they didn't know me. By the end of 2006, I was on a first-name basis with faculty, staff and students. I had become a full part of the community."
Hazners, originally from Rochester, New York, worked five Barnes and Noble stores there before arriving on Tulane's uptown campus in 1991. When he reached the medical school, he felt it a perfect fit, and a challenging opportunity to give more.
"We're here from start to finish," Hazners says. "During orientation, we're part of the group that donates the white coats to the first-year students. At graduation, we supply the caps and gowns, and I'm actually there at the event to work with each student, many of whom are leaving right after graduation. I try to make it as convenient for them as possible."
"Maris is truly dedicated to the students at the School of Medicine," adds David Kinahan, vice president of development for the medical school. "When I saw him at the recent graduation he was as proud of our graduates as any of the parents, siblings or other family members in attendance."
Hazners sums up his philosophy in one sentence. "When they can't make it to the bookstore," he explains, "the bookstore goes to them."

Event Summary
At the end of June, SAP announced that it was delivering enhanced connectivity between the plant floor and the enterprise by acquiring Lighthammer Software Development Corporation (http://www.lighthammer.com), a privately-held supplier of enterprise manufacturing intelligence and collaborative manufacturing software, based in Exton, Pennsylvania (US). Lighthammer and SAP shared a vision of adaptive business networks (ABN), as illustrated by their longstanding partnership, during which Lighthammer was a premier "SAP Powered by NetWeaver" and SAP xApps partner. The company's approximately sixty employees have reportedly remained in their current facilities, and have become a part of SAP America and SAP Labs. Mufson Howe Hunter & Company LLC, a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (US)-based investment bank, served as financial advisor to Lighthammer on this transaction.
At the time of the announcement, the two merging parties and formerly close partners believed that the acquisition would deliver value through improved manufacturing performance with more rapid time-to-value for SAP's installed base of more than 12,000 manufacturing customers. Lighthammer's Collaborative Manufacturing Suite (CMS), currently used by hundreds of companies worldwide, including more than 100 Fortune 500 manufacturing companies, was to be delivered as an SAP xApps composite application on the SAP NetWeaver platform, so as to provide enterprises with what SAP refers to as adaptive manufacturing (i.e., the ability of a manufacturer to profitably replenish the supply chain while dynamically adapting to unpredictable change). For background information on this acquisition, see The Importance of Plant Level Systems, Multipurpose SAP NetWeaver, and Enterprise Resource Planning Giants Eye the Shop Floor.
Lighthammer CMS has been re-branded as SAP xApp Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence (SAP xMII). Built on a modern, service oriented architecture (SOA)-based foundation, the former Lighthammer CMS provided a broad set of services that were required to relatively quickly assemble operational excellence applications in the areas of performance management, continuous improvement, and operational synchronization. The initial version of xMII is basically the former Lighthammer software, re-released in accordance with SAP software production methodology. Moving forward, the xMII team charter will be to help SAP manufacturing customers achieve better business performance through the synchronization of operations with business functions and continuous improvement. This translates into packaged manufacturing integration and intelligence solutions targeted for real time performance measurement. On the integration front, xMII will maintain a considerable degree of autonomy, but will also be closely associated with SAP NetWeaver, running on the SAP NetWeaver Web Application Server (WAS). This is because autonomy is required to match the unique product needs of manufacturing operations that are non-SAP shops or are driven by limited on-site information technology (IT) resources and skills, both of which can be an obstacle to leveraging the complex NetWeaver stack.
The SAP xMII solution will provide near real time visibility to manufacturing exceptions and performance variances, including root causes and business impacts. This will enable manufacturers and their production personnel to better adapt to change and to more rapidly respond to unforeseen demand and supply events. In addition, this combination reportedly will permit SAP to deliver real time transactional integration between enterprise resource planning (ERP) and plant floor systems. Another potential benefit will be the ability to provide unified, real time analytics and visualization, often referred to as manufacturing intelligence or plant intelligence, out-of-the box to manufacturing customers. Moreover, with the xMII solution, SAP is also aiming to enable user companies to leverage their current investments at a lower total cost of ownership (TCO). For more information, see Plant Intelligence as Glue for Dispersed Data?.
Using the Instrumentation, Systems, and Automation (ISA)-95 standards for process manufacturing interoperability (an emerging standard for interfacing low level industrial control level [ICL] code to business applications, which aims to further reduce the complexity of building custom connections to shop floor systems and thereby accelerate the time-to-value for the end customer), the Lighthammer and SAP manufacturing solution will exchange data and render them through SAP manufacturing intelligence dashboards, in order to deliver actionable intelligence in the form of alerts, reports, key performance indicators (KPI), and decision support to production personnel for right-time decision making (see Manufacturer's Nirvana—Real Time Actionable Information and SAP NetWeaver Background, Direction, and User Recommendations). The combined solution will thus allow production personnel to identify deviations in real time, provide drill-downs so as to understand the business and financial impact of the exceptions to be managed, and display the workflows so as to resolve them relatively rapidly and cost-effectively. The aim, of course, is improved productivity.
This is Part One of a two-part note. Part Two will analyze the market impact of the acquisition, and make user recommendations.
Utilizing Plant Intelligence
One idea that has been gaining in popularity lately is the inclusion of a value-adding process layer that can fairly easily link to scattered data sources, retrieve specific data, perform process logic, and deliver a meaningful output. Companies are applying manufacturing (plant) intelligence systems, such as the one supplied by Lighthammer, to aggregate appropriate information from plant-focused data sources into a meaningful context for presentation and analysis. These systems are a combination of integration or middleware platforms and business intelligence (BI) applications, since portals can aggregate and process manufacturing data for specific user communities, and then can share scheduling information across collaborative value chains. On the other hand, manufacturing intelligence systems can collect specific data from plant-focused devices and systems, and then analyze and present the information in dashboards and other KPI tracking systems. For more information, see Plant Intelligence as Glue for Dispersed Data?.
Integral to Lighthammer is the concept of non-intrusive connectivity, allowing legacy data sources to be integrated into the overall enterprise decision support scheme with minimal effort and no disruption to operations. The product's connectivity is not limited to data sources, as it can deliver information to a broad range of Web devices, including all major browsers, handheld or palmtop devices, Web phones, and enterprise applications. The visualization functionality includes a variety of charting components, support for wireless devices, and a set of wizards for automatic generation of Web page content for users with little or no technical expertise. There is also an animation editor in the Lighthammer technology that enables users to animate objects. For instance, one might want to be able to see a vessel actually filling up and see the level changing.
A comprehensive reporting module allows content from multiple data sources to be aggregated and correlated in a single report, which can be either "live" or static, and displayed in a browser, printed, or disseminated via e-mail. For some time, the product also has provided an "enterprise" option for multi-site views of production and manufacturing operations. This option enables multiple Illuminator (a core component of the former Lighthammer CMS suite that features solid extract, transform, and load [ETL] capabilities) servers throughout the business to provide a single, unified view of enterprise information. This allows, for example, a corporate process engineer to assist plants with process problems, or a production executive to view real time manufacturing results at a number of sites from a single web browser.
The Lighthammer technology connects to the three areas that users need connection to.
The problem is that, while information comes from production operations, goes to a data warehouse, and is viewed by the business, the very people who fed the information in typically do not see the data. In fact, because of a ripple-up effect of failures into the business down on the shop floor, sharing information through the manufacturing intelligence dashboards out of the BI layer can be as valuable in some cases as getting the information from the production level. For this reason, Lighthammer touts its ability to enable manufacturing in an adaptive environment by providing the business context for manufacturing data on an event-based integration in order to close this loop between the business and production levels.
Scenario-based Example
At some SAP events, the two formerly independent partner vendors related a scenario-based example that was modeled around a paint process, which had both process industry characteristics (e.g., using reactors and vessels that handle liquids and fluids) and consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry characteristics (in that material is packaged and ultimately put in a warehouse or on a shelf).
The process that the SAP and Lighthammer teams have developed starts with material being added to a mixing and reaction process, whereby the product is extracted from the reaction, and then filtered, dried, and placed as an intermediate in cans. This particular process is also applicable to the pharmaceutical industry. The product is then packaged, palletized, labeled, and shipped to a distribution center, where quality tests are performed and the ISA-95 integration standard is employed to exchange schedule and performance data between the ERP and plant-level applications. To eliminate any latency or lack of synchronization, the production plan update and associated master data are automatically transmitted to the plant floor via SAP XI using the ISA-95 integration standard. The production plan synchronizes the plant systems, so that performance data, including status costs and quality information, are fed back into SAP in real time.
To be precise, the production schedule is sent from mySAP ERP to Lighthammer CMS (now SAP xMII), transmitted to the automated system, and then displayed on the manufacturing dashboard. After the batch is executed, Lighthammer aggregates production performance data and automatically updates the mySAP ERP inventory. Needless to say, the solution also tracks how things are developing throughout the batch, capturing not only the start and end points of a batch, but it also the intermediate ones. Thus, based on the sensitive data its captures as the batches are being manufactured and on some Six Sigma control analysis, Lighthammer technology detects quality problems, generates alerts, and quarantines the batches in mySAP ERP.
Quarantining a batch based on an anomaly in the process is the epitome of a closed-loop behavior. Production quality alerts appear in the dashboard, and the production supervisor can then drill down into the alert to perform a rapid root cause analysis. At this point, it is important to have not only the visibility to stop or change the process, but an understanding of why this problem has occurred so as to prevent it from reoccurring. The final stage would thus be the production supervisor initiating a corrective action to fix the problem, resolving the exception before it becomes a customer issue in an effort to have a continuous improvement environment.
Another often presented scenario leverages radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology. In this scenario, one might have paint cans containing a certain color or a certain blend that are moving more quickly than others. RFID-enabled business processes would indicate the pattern of these cans on the floor. In addition, the notification of material available for shipping would occur automatically and immediately. What one would like to be able to do is to respond at the manufacturing level to this change on "now what?" basis. For example, the sales department might want to rapidly capitalize on this opportunity. In this scenario, the production plan can be re-aligned in real time, based on the actual capability to deliver or the capability to promise (CTP), and the transient opportunity can be successfully realized since one has the ability to respond.
With the above scenario, we are talking once again about a closed-loop application, whereby Lighthammer receives the schedule and master data from SAP, and Lighthammer in turn uses SAP XI to deliver real time alerts and KPIs to the SAP dashboard. The dashboard itself is a composite application consisting of the XI views, the KPIs, and any accompanying alerts. There might be alerts coming out of the SAP environment and out of the external plant level systems as well. In which case, Lighthammer would be monitoring conditions, calculating KPIs, and further applying execution logic.
The possible value of this for customers could be multifold. First of all, it is a closed-loop system with real time synchronization—when a plant manager is looking at data from Lighthammer on his or her dashboard, it is live data. Moreover, users have control over how often the data is sent to the screen, which is done automatically in the background. The business implications of quality performance and delivery issues on the shop floor are thereby quantified and made visible, while proactive exception detection is supported to minimize the overall supply chain impact. In addition, production personnel are empowered with a productivity tool that enables them to access all the relevant documentation on one single dashboard or system, in order to manage by exception, leverage the dashboard as a decision support environment, perform tasks assisted by automated workflows, and initiate improvements and monitor their impact with the KPI dashboard.
Lighthammer CMS 11.0
In May 2005, almost immediately before the acquisition, Lighthammer unveiled CMS 11.0, which was a major upgrade of the flagship product, featuring enhanced scalability, multisite metrics, security, and traceability for regulatory compliance of the composite platform for building manufacturing intelligence applications. The new release also added features that extended the development environment's existing performance management, continuous improvement, and operational synchronization capabilities, which were SOA-based. Importantly, the new capabilities aimed at helping developers to more easily build and deploy applications that can be accessed across the distributed manufacturing enterprise. At least 60 percent of the code in version 11, which had been under development for about a year, had reportedly been rewritten. For end users, this might mean about 15 percent more functionality and a complete upward compatibility with existing applications.
Among the most significant enhancements to version 11.0 was the Security Manager service, which added unified user management and single sign-on capabilities for run-time applications. This means users will be able to access any CMS-built application regardless of the platform on which it runs. Therefore, CMS, which previously operated only on Microsoft Windows-based systems, can now run on other operating environments, such as Linux, Sun Solaris, and HP-UX. The service also allows integration with a wide range of third-party authentication systems, including SAP, lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) using Active Directory, security assertion markup language (SAML), Windows Domains, Kerberos from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and others. These features should allow customers to manage user roles, memberships, and attributes better, as well as to define authentication or authorization services either from existing enterprise user management directories or through the Lighthammer application. This service should thus provide the ability to implement a security strategy that could fit virtually any existing enterprise architecture and should extend "single sign-on" into the domain of plant applications, improving compliance.
Additional compliance and traceability features that were added include an electronic signature service and a multilevel confirmation or challenge capability, which securely controls and documents user actions for regulatory compliance with 21 Code of Federal Regulations Part 11 (21 CFR 11), Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), and other regulations. The enterprise application integration (EAI) capabilities have also been enhanced, with the addition of new business logic capabilities that take advantage of Web services in SAP NetWeaver to simplify data integration between plant systems and enterprise systems. Last but not least, the generally available CMS version 11.0 laid the groundwork for another upgrade set. Currently, the product is built mostly on Java, but the logic engine is based on Microsoft .NET. The next release, however, will be 100 percent Java-based, which should give customers a much broader choice of development platform.
Lighthammer's process manufacturing industry expertise and foresight in developing intelligent manufacturing middleware was helped by its early commitment to open technologies like the ISA-95 standard, Java, extensible markup language (XML), and SOA. Even earlier releases featured Lighthammer's leadership in the deployment of these open technologies as enablers for acquisition, analysis, distribution, and presentation of information from manufacturing systems. Lighthammer CMS functionality has long included built-in transformation of data into any standard XML message structure, such as Microsoft BizTalk, RosettaNet, and others, as well as the ability to interface with peer plant-level or enterprise-level systems using XML as the default data format for both incoming and outgoing data. Back in 2001, Illuminator 8.5 introduced a breakthrough Intelligent Agent subsystem, which could be used to enable inter-application messaging upon detection of production events or exceptions; automated calculation of KPI metrics; automatic transfer of information between XML, database, and e-mail sources; the gathering and conversion of data from external Web sources; and much more.
The product now provides an expanded set of connectors, which enables users to mine information from a broad range of manufacturing technologies, including Rockwell RSView, Siemens WinCC, Schneider FactoryCast, USData FactoryLink, Citect, and general-purpose open process control (OPC) servers. The product also allows direct connections to Sybase and IBM DB2 databases, which augment the extensive list of connectors already available for Invensys-Wonderware, Intellution, Oil Systems, Aspen Technology, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, and open database connectivity (ODBC) data sources.
This concludes Part One of a two-part note. Part Two will analyze the market impact of the acquisition, and make user recommendations.

Despite what developers Kuju tell us, we don't think fans of previous Geometry Wars games will necessarily enjoy Galaxies for the Wii. Though it may have been more enjoyable with the classic controller, our playtime with the Wii remote and nunchuk proved needlessly hard to use.
Movement is done with then nunchuk's joystick, and the direction of your fire is determined by where you point on screen and is shown via a thin red line shooting out of your ship. Given the sheer necessity to be accurate in more difficult phases, having to deal with Wii remote's imprecise pointing proves detrimental.
Compensating for the control issues is your little drone buddy that will team up with you against the Shapes of Evil. By collecting geoms, the game's currency dropped by the bad guys, you can upgrade your drone. We couldn't get a descriptive answer as to what upgrades will be available, but a representative gave us the example of buying an upgrade that tells the drone to target a specific type of foe.
You can download a version of Xbox Live's Retro Evolved on the DS. You can use either the D-pad or the buttons on the right (for southpaw gamers) to move and shoot in a specified direction via where your stylus is on the touch screen. Or you can swap that and shoot with the D-pad, move with the stylus -- either way, you're still left with some imprecision because the D-pad will only give you eight directions at a time.
In terms of levels, we're seeing 60 different planets, organized by solar systems and again by galaxies (hence the title). Galaxies' online aspect is its leaderboards, one for each level. Visually, the special effects were well preserved but we were shown the game on an HD screen, which makes most Wii games look like they're presented through a grainy filter. Here, the rep reminded us the game is still in pre-alpha stages.
We couldn't get a finalized price from the representative. The controls of Geometry Wars Galaxies were designed are ideal with two analog sticks, and at this point we can't recommend this game without having the classic controller. And with it, we're still not sure if the level variety will justify paying retail for an extremely low-priced Xbox Live download. Galaxies will be out this fall.

Marie-France Roy
Marie-France's Details
About Marie-France
It's quite possible that Marie-France Roy was born in the snow, and if not, there was surely snow on the ground that day in 1984. In fact, Marie-France can't remember an April 17 birthday without snow and ice all around her. This may not be a surprise, given that her hometown of Les Eboulements, Quebec is nearly 560 miles northeast of the winter-wonderland known as Montreal. "I come from a beautiful little town," she says with a big smile, "and the natural thing for most kids is to play hockey, ski, and have giant snowball fights!"
Marie credits her two big brothers for getting her into snowboarding, a less popular sport in the relatively reserved county of Charlevoix, QC. "I remember my first day on the mountain with my Dad and brothers," says Marie-France. "My Dad and I were on our skis, and my brothers had snowboards. I kept falling and thought what they were doing looked way more fun. So that was the end of my brief ski career!"
While following her brothers into snowboarding was natural to Marie-France, she's anything but a follower. "MFR," as she's known to many friends, likes to create and maintain her own style, and is not one to walk in the footprints of others.
"It has always been important to me to be myself, and not what the industry or snowboarding scene wants me to be," she says. "Hopefully I have a good long road ahead, and to be successful, I can't ever forget who I was before my pro snowboard career began."
Being grounded is what MFR is all about, and those who know her best know that Marie is just as happy to talk about punk rock or better methods of recycling as she is to explain how to land a huge Frontside 720.

President Barack Obama holds a slim lead in Pennsylvania, according to a new poll, which also gave the president a bigger edge in two other important swing states, Florida and Ohio.
"Obama is on a roll in the key swing states. If the election were today, he would carry at least two states. And if history repeats itself, that means he would be re-elected," said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, which released the poll this week.

What does this mean? HCV testing
Nov 24, 2012
My guy friend had a Hepatitis C test and it came back as follows: Hepatitis C Antibody Reactive Hepatitis C RNA : NON DETECTABLE
Response from Dr. Taylor
The reactive hepatitis C antibody test signifies that your friend has been exposed to the hepatitis C virus. If the hepatitis C antibody is reactive, the correct next step is to check for the virus itself with the HCV RNA by PCR, so I am glad your friend had this test.
Your friend's result for the virus itself, HCV RNA, is negative. This usually means that a person was exposed to hepatitis C at some point but that the body cleared the virus away within the first weeks of infection, on its own. Thus there is no ongoing hepatitis C infection, just a marker in the blood of past exposure. The reactive antibody typically persists in the blood for a lifetime.
If someone is cured of hepatitis C with medications, the results will look the same -- a reactive antibody and non-detectable HCV RNA.
If your friend could have been exposed to hepatitis C within the last months, then it is important for him to have the hepatitis C RNA repeated in a few weeks-months to confirm that he is truly virus-negative. With a new hepatitis C infection, sometimes called an acute infection, the HCV RNA level can fluctuate, meaning rise to very high levels and fall and to non-detectable levels.

Bond Issue Saves Grand Ledge $650,000
Hits: 832
[Back to Treasurer's Home Page]
March 20 – Charlotte, Michigan – From Eaton County Treasurer, Bob Robinson. An Eaton County backed bond issue for Grand Ledge water supply and sewage disposal financing saved the city approximately $656,000 over the next 11 years. The 2014 refunding of previously issued 2005 general obligation bonds, unanimously approved by the Eaton County Board of Directors at its March 18 meeting, reduced the rate of interest on $5,000,000 of remaining debit from on old interest cost of 4.7 percent down to 1.89 percent for a present value savings of 12.51 percent of the remaining balance on the bonds.
"This was an extremely competitive offering that attracted 13 bids from throughout the country," said Eaton County Treasurer, Bob Robinson. "We got the largest number of bids ever on an Eaton County bond issue."
As treasurer, Robinson is responsible for the preparation and sale of bonds issued by the county.
A general obligation bond (GOB) is a municipal bond that is secured by a local government's pledge to repay bond holders who invest. Backed by the full faith and credit and tax revenue of the municipalities involved, credit rating agencies often consider GOBs to have strong credit quality.
"While there are never guarantees on future economic conditions, "said Treasurer Robinson, "the success of this bond issue is almost certainly the result of Standard and Poor's recent upgrade of the county's rating from AA- to AA.
A strong rating means that county issued bonds could be more competitive, and attractive to a larger number of investors. When resources are well maintained, credit ratings go up and the cost of borrowing goes down.
"Managing finances has not been an easy task in these difficult times," said Robinson. "The outcome on this refinancing is an indication of the solid economic potential we have here in Eaton County, and the excellent executive leadership and fiscal skill of Eaton County Controller John Fuentes and his staff."
As controller, Fuentes is the chief fiscal executive and administrator for the county.
For more information, contact Eaton County Treasurer, Bob Robinson, at (517) 543-4262 or email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

YIELD: Makes 6 servings
ACTIVE TIME: 30 min
TOTAL TIME: 1 1/4 hr
- 1 1/2 pounds small (1 1/2- to 2-inch) white boiling potatoes
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
Cover potatoes with salted cold water by 1 inch in a 3-quart heavy saucepan and bring to a simmer. Simmer, uncovered, until just tender, about 15 minutes. Drain potatoes in a colander and cool slightly. When potatoes are just cool enough to handle (but are still very warm), peel and cut into 1/2-inch-wide wedges.
Cook sugar in a 12-inch heavy skillet, undisturbed, over moderate heat until it begins to melt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar melts into a golden caramel. Add butter and salt, stirring until butter is melted. Add potato wedges, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or heatproof rubber spatula from bottom of skillet to coat potatoes with caramel (caramel will seize and form small clumps), and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are heated through and any clumps of caramel have melted to coat potatoes evenly, 10 to 12 minutes.
Cooks' notes: Potatoes can be boiled and peeled (but not cut) 1 day ahead. Cool completely, uncovered, then chill, covered. Bring to room temperature before proceeding with recipe. Potatoes can be cut and caramelized 1 hour ahead, then kept, covered, at room temperature. Just before serving, reheat over moderate heat until warmed through.

Magic trick turns homeless man's coffee into coins
Polish teen makes the day of homeless man
Published On: Mar 12 2013 01:26:30 PM EDT Updated On: Mar 12 2013 03:28:57 PM EDT
Many people think coffee has some magical qualities. For one homeless man, it certainly does.
In a YouTube video, a teen takes a coffee cup from the homeless man and shakes it.
He then hands the cup back to the man and says, "This is for you", according to The Huffington Post.
As he does, it fills up with coins.
The homeless man is awestruck and laughs, saying, "I'm 55 and I have never seen a miracle like this. Thank you! Mother of God, bless you."

INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana (WTHR) -After more than a week of searching for clues police now say the explosion that leveled part of an Indianapolis neighborhood was not an accident.
"While the fire investigation has been progressing, there has been a parallel investigation, not solely focusing on the cause of the explosion but focusing on individuals who may have been responsible," Marion County prosecutor Terry Curry said Monday. "We can confirm tonight that there is an active criminal homicide investigation."
News of the criminal turn comes on the same day the two victims of the explosion, John and Jennifer Longworth, were laid to rest.
The couple lived next door to the house where the blast is believed to have originated, their home flattened.
Since the explosion, questions have surrounded the owner of the house in the center of the blast zone.
Monsey Shirley and her boyfriend were away at a casino that night and claim to have no knowledge of what caused the explosion.
"Its devastating and people keep asking me questions like I know something, I don't know nothing," she said.
In all more than 20 homes in the neighborhood were either destroyed or left uninhabitable.
Police say they have executed several search warrants in connection with the case and are on the look out for information about a white van seen in the neighborhood prior to the explosion.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco And Firearms offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the case.

I have a new question about iptables.
I have a router/internet gateway that has several different networks connected to it. There is 192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.2.0/24 and 192.168.3.0/24. The 192.168.2.0/24 network has a branch router of 192.168.2.30 that is connected to a 192.168.10.0/24 network. I would like to block access of the 192.168.10.0 network to the 192.168.1.0 network. What type of iptables command would I use on my gateway/router to do this?
Something like this:

Specialty earnings mostly solid on steady sales

Late-reporting specialty chemical companies mostly report solid earnings, since the US construction rebound lifted Valspar's results and IFF benefitted from low raw materials costs and an improved sales mix.

Ben Scrivens' Latest Shutout — 1-0 Over Rangers — Shows His Value To Kings
Lakers PhotosLakers vs. FC Barcelona The Los Angeles Lakers face off with Pau Gasol's former team and European Champions FC Barcelona on October 7, 2010. Nike's House of Hoops In Barcelona and Basketball Clinic Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol go against Ricky Rubio and Juan Carlos Navarro on a 2-on-2 game Lakers Travel To London Pilots hold up a Lakers flag before the Los Angeles Lakers travel to London at LAX on September 30, 2010, in Los Angeles, California. Barcelona Goes Crazy For The Lakers The Lakers arrived in Barcelona, Spain to huge crowds and lots of media at their practice inside Palau Blaugrana stadium. Lakers star Pau Gasol is from Spain.
NEW YORK (CBSLA.com/AP) — Ben Scrivens hasn't given up a goal in more than 2 ½ games, and the person least impressed with his performance is the backup goalie himself.
Scrivens, who has three shutouts this season, stopped all 37 New York Rangers shots Sunday and posted his second consecutive shutout in place of injured regular Jonathan Quick as the Los Angeles Kings completed a successful Eastern road trip with a 1-0 victory.
"It's only three games. I wouldn't look too much into it," Scrivens said in matter-of-fact fashion as he drank from a water bottle. "The guys play well in front of me. I'm just trying to go out and give the team a chance."
The job for the rest of the Kings has become much easier recently because of Scrivens, who has gone 155 minutes, 2 seconds without allowing a goal. Aaron Ness of the New York Islanders was the last to get a puck past him, in the second period of Los Angeles' 3-2 win on Thursday.
Scrivens followed that up with a shutout of the New Jersey Devils on Friday. His blanking of the Rangers finished the Kings' 3-0-1 trip that started with a shootout loss at Buffalo on Tuesday.
Scrivens' best stop came six minutes into the third period when his right arm stopped Mats Zuccarello's shot off a rebound in front.
"He just had to be solid," Kings coach Darryl Sutter said. "It was very much a team thing."
Los Angeles, 5-0-1 in its last six, will begin a three-game homestand Tuesday against Tampa Bay.
"We've just got to get back to L.A. now," Scrivens said. "A couple of home games, and we get to sleep in our own beds a little bit and try to continue this."
New York's Dominic Moore thought he tied it with 2:41 remaining, but the goal was disallowed because he kicked it in with his right skate.
Henrik Lundqvist stopped 29 shots in the hard-luck loss. The Rangers, 7-3 in their last 10, failed to follow up on their 1-0 win at Montreal on Saturday with backup Cam Talbot in net. New York dropped its second straight at home.
"We were a little inconsistent at times, but we had our chances and opportunities," Rangers captain Ryan Callahan said. "We played well, but you have to find a way to get one."
Tyler Toffoli broke the scoreless deadlock 1:23 into the second period with his fourth goal in just seven NHL games this season. Toffoli, who netted the winning goal late in regulation against the Islanders, cashed in again with some help from the Rangers.
The 21-year-old center spun and fired a shot from above the circles. Lundqvist slid to his right to get into position to make the save, but the puck hit the skate of New York defenseman Anton Stralman and caromed to Lundqvist's left and into the vacated part of the net.
Lundqvist thrust backward in the crease in disbelief and disgust as the Kings celebrated.
"It was definitely a frustrating loss because I felt we had enough chances to tie it up and maybe win," Lundqvist said. "We needed some puck luck, and I felt like we didn't have it.
"Just a really tough, frustrating loss."
The Kings needed a break to get a puck past Lundqvist, who appeared sharp after getting a game off. He kept the Rangers, who were without LW Rick Nash for the 17th consecutive time with a concussion, in it as Los Angeles held a 10-2 shots edge in the first half of the second period.
During an extended flurry in front, Lundqvist made several saves and was bailed out when one drive struck the left post behind him.
The Rangers certainly had their chances at the other end against Scrivens, but he was also up to the task. New York had back-to-back scoring opportunities while short-handed, including a 2-on-1 break that failed to produce a shot.
Then the Kings were called for three consecutive penalties midway through the second — including a call for too many men on the ice and another for delay of game — but New York couldn't take advantage despite having a pair of abbreviated 5-on-3 power plays. The Rangers' goal at Montreal on Saturday was scored during a 5-on-3 advantage.
"Luckily for us they weren't extended 5 on 3s," Kings forward Anze Kopitar said. "We killed their momentum and gained some momentum ourselves."
