Larry Gray McBee, 70, of Lee's Summit, Missouri, formerly of Monroe, died January 7, 2013, at Kansas City Hospice House after a prolonged battle with cancer.
He was born June 26, 1942 in Monroe to Herbert Roosevelt and Nellie (Gray) McBee, the youngest of their seven children. He married Marilyn Jean Krueger on May 1, 1965 and she survives.
Also surviving are his daughter, Kim (William) Foster and grandsons Merrick William and John Gray of Overland Park, Kansas; son, Aaron (Angelique) McBee and grandsons Sean Gray and Connor Gray of Yuma, Arizona; sisters Audrey Henry of Toney, Alabama, and Oma Bentley of Monroe; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Larry was preceded in death by his parents; three brothers, Herbert, Harry, and Joel; and one sister, Wilma.
Larry grew up in Michigan, graduating from Monroe High School, and loved his home state. On return visits he especially enjoyed Monroe's Original Hot Dogs, Better Made chips, and Friday fish frys (during Lent). He made his home in Michigan, Florida, and later, in Missouri and made good friends everywhere he went. Genealogy captured his interest and he thoroughly enjoyed exploring his family's ancestry. Never shy about giving advice, Larry was always ready with an anecdote, a joke, or a story.
He served in the U.S. Army and Army Reserves, was a deputy sheriff, and had a successful career with Fireman's Fund Insurance Company. In his later years he enjoyed working at Research Medical Center and spending countless hours volunteering at St. Matthew Lutheran Church.
Larry was proud of his son and daughter and their families. His greatest loves, besides his wife Marilyn, were his grandsons who he adored. He delighted in sharing his love of reading with them, watching them play ball, and telling everyone he knew about their latest exploits.

Tae kwon do-able
American Taekwando Association wants to form official Eudora chapter
Bob Brinkley leads a healthy double life.
He works as a real estate broker and as a martial arts instructor.
In the martial arts realm, he's a recommended first-degree black belt in the American Taekwondo Association.
He also has a mission.
He wants to officially establish an ATA dojang, or training area, in Eudora.
Brinkley and the sport are already no strangers to the city.
He and his 16-year-old daughter Fe teach classes in the Eudora Arts Center on Mondays and Wednesdays.
If Brinkley's plan comes to fruition, his class will expand faster than a sidekick ripping through the air.
"Once chartered, then we will have our own dojang, for ATA only, with state-of-the-art training equipment, mat and building," Brinkley said.
Brinkley's daughter also achieved a black belt, in ATA's Songahm discipline of tae kwon do.
"Like any martial art properly taught and properly practiced, tae kwon do is a non-aggressive and ethical system of self-defense," Brinkley said.
Both have also been trained and certified with the association to teach the style to others.
"You've got to believe in what you sell. I've been in mixed martial arts before in my younger days and I just love this ATA," Brinkley said. "It's just a blast. It's so much fun."
The classes offer training sessions for youngsters ages 4 to 7, teens and up to adults.
The youngest students are known as the Tiny Tigers.
Their class includes both discipline and exercise.
During one session, the youngsters practiced punching and kicking motions.
As the students practiced, very few lost an opportunity to make noise, sometimes associated with the moves.
Brinkley associated the youngsters' enthusiasm with the joy in learning new things.
Daniel Taylor's daughter Jayden, one of the Tigers, is a second-generation tae kwon do practitioner.
"She loves it," Daniel said. "She's got a lot of energy, and this definitely helps out with that and puts it to good use."
During the class, the Brinkleys work individually with students and teach them core values of fitness and respect.
Bob keeps the Tigers' energy up and focuses them by asking, "Are you ready to be awesome black belt?"
Apparently some are.
Best of all was the sidekicks, Jarrett Durrant said.
His classmate, Kendall Stiffler enjoyed a different part of the training ---- reciting the oath during class.
The oath, emphasizing life skills at the beginning and end of training each session.
Although many ages learn from the Brinkleys, who travel from the ATA office in Lawrence to teach in town, the group has yet to sign up the 40 students needed to fully break out into Eudora.
With classes enrolling, Brinkley is optimistic.
"Eudora is forecasted to have over 150 continuous students on the average," Brinkley said.
Classes for the Tiny Tigers (4 to 7) are from 5 to 5:30 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays. Sessions for the older students are from 5:30 to 6:15 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays.
The classes are open for all to experience, Brinkley said.

Members of a DEA task force shot and wounded a man who allegedly came at them with a vehicle while they were trying to arrest him late Friday morning at shopping strip in West El Paso, a spokeswoman said.
The man was taken by ambulance to a hospital. His name was not released and his medical condition was not available.
The shooting occurred about 11:30 a.m. in the parking lot of a retail center housing a Kohl's store and other nearby shops on Redd Road by North Desert Boulevard.
"We were conducting an operation at the time," DEA spokeswoman Special Agent Diana Apodaca said. "The agents attempted to make an arrest. One suspect broke through the vehicle containment. The officers felt their lives were in danger and fired their weapons."
Two other people were arrested at the scene without incident, an official said.
The number of shots fired was not disclosed. The shooting is under investigation by the FBI.
The shooting caused a large mobilization of law enforcement. Police blocked nearby streets and a helicopter was used to check the area.
The DEA did not disclose what charges were faced by the man who was wounded.
The task force includes agents of the DEA, Border Patrol and police agencies.
Law enforcement sources said it is not uncommon for drug deals to take place in parking lots of El Paso retail centers.
The shooting is at least the third involving federal agents in El Paso this year.
On Jan. 30, New Mexico fugitive Juan Carlos Olivas, 30, was shot and killed by U.S. Marshal's deputies when Olivas allegedly tried to run them over with a pickup when deputies went to arrest him in the parking lot of the Casa Barranca apartments on the West Side.
Video by Rudy Gutierrez / El Paso Times
On March 1, a Border Patrol agent and three El Paso police officers shot and killed Michigan fugitive Daniel John Myers, 47, in a shootout close to the U.S.-Mexico border on Paisano Drive near Asarco.

text: Chicago restaurant serves up edible helium balloons Culture 15 February 12 by Duncan Geere A restaurant in Chicago called Alinea has taken an unusual step towards serving lighter food -- putting an edible helium balloon on the menu.The balloon is made of dehydrated granny smith apples, malic acid and sugar, and is served with a pin, so that it can popped. The pin is attached to the balloon with "apple leather", making the entire thing (apart from the pin) edible.If you don't want to pop it, you can also just put your mouth on the balloon and inhale, like the gentleman in the video embedded in this story. That'll have the effect of raising your voice an octave or two -- the speed of sound in helium is nearly three times faster than it is in air, causing the resonant frequencies of your vocal chords to change.Alinea is one of only two restauarants in Chicago to have been awarded three Michelin stars, and is run by Grant Achatz -- who has won multiple awards for his molecular gastronomy. Edited by Nate Lanxon Comments One of the most useful tips that I got from a friend was to install a restaurant camera. He recommended a webcam software called GotoCamera www.gotocamera.com This is how it works - Set up a webcam near to your cash counter or any part of your restaurant which you wish to monitor, download the GotoCamera software. The set-up instructions are pretty simple and easy to follow. The best part is that you can access it from your smart phone so that you can remotely monitor your camera's recordings when you are away from your restaurant.

text: I recently built a Mooto X YBB and absolutely love it, but it leaves me with a dilemma as to what to do with my older 26-inch wheeled YBB frame. I would love to run it as a single speed and sell off my even older Seven which has track/horizontal dropouts. That Seven is rigid, so having the YBB rear end would be nice on a single speed. Does anyone know if there are photos out there showing a frame builder who has replaced the rear dropouts of a YBB with either track, horizontal or slider variations?

We Talk Politics With The Best Couple Ever: Simon Doonan & Jonathan Adler
Simon Doonan and his husband, Jonathan Adler, enter any room as a fashionable whirlwind, filled with quips and jokes, observances and what can only be called "Doonan-isms" — when Simon says something cheeky and Jonathan jumps in to clarify. At the Tyra Banks-hosted Flawsome Ball, the couple showed up to support their friend (who pushed through paparazzi to ensure the trio got a photo opportunity), and took a few moments to talk about what has been on the style community's mind: The Doonan-titled "Fuchsia-Gate" and the great debate that is decor.
So, have you guys been keeping up with the debates?
Simon Doonan: "Oh, no. I've got voter fatigue. I just want to get on with the election. I can't watch one more stupid debate."
Jonathan Adler: "I watched, and what they said just reminds me of the Miss America pageants when they ask them the questions. But, the red, white, and blue color scheme was on point. The decor was incredible."
SD: "I love President Obama, I love Mrs. Obama, but this has gone on far too long. You know, in England, we just have two-party political broadcasts, and that's it. And then there's the election. What a time-waste and money-waste!"
JA: "What about all the undecided people? Like Simon said, we're Team Obama, and I just watch the debates for the cheap decor."
Did you see that both Ann Romney and Michelle Obama wore the exact same fuchsia?
JA: "Scandal!"
SD: "I knew that someone in the media, like you, would just have a brain aneurism and go insane. I thought, 'Oh, wait for the bloggers to pick up on this one.'"
JA: "Fuchsia-gate."
But, what does it mean?
SD: "They both like pink? Um, N-O-T-H-I-N-G."
JA: "Who knows?"
SD: "Whatever it is, it is certainly something sinister."

A mother and her five children are able to escape a fire that destroyed the family's home.
The fire broke out just before 9:30am this morning. Firefighters say the fire started on a stove in the kitchen. Smoke and flames were coming from the home when firefighters arrived.
They put out the fire and any hotspots and cleared some of the charred debris out of the house. A neighbor living next door said he smelled the smoke and was worried the fire might jump to his house.
The fire flared up again this afternoon just after 1:30. Neighbors called the fire department after seeing smoke coming from a door jam.
The Red Cross is helping the family who was renting the home and the family is now staying with neighbors.
Fire investigators estimate the damage at $105 thousand.

Dr. John Dreyzehner, Commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Health, leaves after speaking before the Senate Health and Welfare Committee during a hearing on fungal meningitis outbreak on Wednesday, Jan. 30, 2013. / Jae S. Lee / The Tennessean
Whats next?
The state Board of Pharmacy will meet today to consider legislation and regulations and drug compounding in particular. The board session is scheduled for 9 a.m. at 227 French Landing, in Nashville.
Dr. John Dreyzehner, commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Health, right, listens while speaking before the Senate Health and Welfare Committee during a hearing on fungal meningitis outbreak at Legislative Plaza in Nashville on Wednesday, Jan. 30, 2013. / Jae S. Lee / The Tennessean
Tennessee pharmacists would be willing to pay higher licensing fees so that the state pharmacy board could hire more qualified inspectors to inspect drug stores across the state, an industry representative told a state Senate panel Wednesday.
- Discuss the fungal meningitis outbreak on Facebook
- Continuing coverage of the fungal meningitis outbreak
Yes, we are willing to pay for quality, Baeteena M. Black, executive director of the Tennessee Pharmacists Association, told the Senate Health and Welfare Committee.
She made the comments as the Senate panel wrapped up a 90-minute hearing on the nationwide fungal meningitis outbreak that has taken the lives of 45 people nationwide, including 14 who were treated in Tennessee.
Several members of the panel expressed interest in tightening regulation of compounding pharmacies and requiring physicians to record lot numbers of drugs they inject in their patients. The lack of that requirement became apparent as state and federal officials tried to pin down the precise source of the recent outbreak.
Sen. Douglas Henry questioned whether the requirement could be set by regulation or whether a new statute would be necessary.
Weve had lots of conversations about how we can do this better, state Health Commissioner John Dreyzehner told the panel, but he expressed doubts about one members suggestion that Tennessee send its own inspectors to out-of-state drug compounders such as the New England Compounding Center, the firm blamed for the meningitis outbreak.
Something weve never done is go outside our borders, the commissioner said. Practically, that would be very difficult and expensive.
Dreyzehner said a partnership between state and federal regulators would be a more favorable approach. He warned that overregulation of the compounding industry could lead to drug shortages.
We dont want to create unintended consequences, he said.
Walking the legislators through a timeline of the fatal outbreak, Dreyzehner said that the use of electronic health records was critical in figuring out what was causing the outbreak and how to best treat its victims.
Dr. Donald Reagan, chief medical officer for the health department, said access to the electronic health records allowed state investigators to get a lot more information a lot more quickly.
Previously, we would have to go on site to review the records, he said.
Dreyzehner said one difficulty was locating all of the patients who were injected with the methylprednisolone acetate. He noted that 147 of those patients came from Kentucky and several were overseas when the outbreak was discovered. The last patient of the more than 1,000 tracked down was located on Oct. 20, he said.
The commissioner, citing the inspection reports on the conditions at the Framingham, Mass., drug compounding firm, said it was astounding that only three lots of the steroid were found to be tainted with the fatal fungus. Citing a cascade of events that led to the outbreak, Dreyzehner said, it could have been entirely avoided.

Back to More Fertility Questions
Posted Apr 28 2009 1:41pm
There will be 1-2 more for the blastocyst, but I will answer a few questions first.
Sorry, some of these questions were asked a while ago and my responses may be a little late if immediate action was necessary. I will still answer many of them hoping the answers will help others. If I skip your question, it does not mean it's a bad one, it just means I cannot comment, or I just don't have anything additional that will help.
There are a number of women who have tough stories about failing many IVF cycles and being faced with the donor egg decision. I always feel I want to recognize the problem by commenting, but my responses have been similar. Usually, it's just up to you. The boring answer is get tot the best clinic possible and weigh your options. If I see anyone who I think is getting pushed to donor egg too soon I'll comment.
Jennifer was discouraged because on clomid she found it difficult to time her intercourse because the cervical mucus remained thicker.
You should use a different method of checking for ovulation, namely the ovulation predictor kits. Clomid does make the mucus thicker, but not in some and partially in others. You can get pregnant if the mucus is thicker, but it depends how thick. This is another reason to consider insemination in order to remove the mucus from the equation.
Muriah had septum surgery but the HSG post op showed some septum remained. Why?
This is more common when the septum is very large. With a large septum, there is quite a bit of cutting. Of course we don't want to cut too much, so at the top it may look like a dramatic improvement, but in reality, a little more should have been cut away. It is also possible that the doctor saw that there was a little left, but felt he had cut enough, but did not. It is also possible that as the uterus healed, it scarred a little at the top, making it look like the septum remained, when in fact it was cut properly but did not heal well. In any event, when I have a patient with a large septum, I do say that a second procedure may be necessary, although it has not been necessary in years.
It is also possible that there is a little left, but it's not clinically significant. This is very common. I sometimes see a bit left and I say it's not enough to worry about.
Jamie has spotting being treated with progesterone.
Just make sure your uterus is normal. Make sure you have a thorough ultrasound and HSG, and maybe a sonohysterogram, to be sure there are no polyps or fibroids. Some women need a biopsy. Otherwise, some women spot for unknown reasons and progesterone, sometimes with estrogen, fixes the problem.
Ruby's husband has anti-sperm antibodies. I do not think this means anything.
KSNYC makes a few follicles but only makes 2 eggs Why? We do not know. If you had only done 1 cycle, we could say it's just one of those things, try again. But after 4 cycles with varying protocols, and consistent results, well, that's how you behave. I would say that at age 34, you should not give up yet.
Ronni is 40, makes nice eggs and embryos, has severe male factor, and is being told to do DE after 3 failed cycles. She is being told it's an "egg issue".
It's up to you. Of course your problem is an egg issue, but you eggs can still give you a chance. I am going to guess that your odds are 15-25% with your eggs. You may want to consider traveling farther for a better clinic.
Amanda was on clomid, and injections are being suggested but is worried about multiples/hyperstimulation. Yes minimal stimulation is the way to go. We use anywhere from 37.5 -75 units.
Katrina's husband has zero morphology. There is not much that can improve morphology. Spotting may or may not be a problem. See the post above.
Flycat is Catholic and does not want IVF or IUI. My suggestion is for you to speak to your priest/pastor. You never know, they may be more permissive and sympathetic than you think.
Helen has a bleeding cervix. You are right, cautery or freezing may scar the cervix. Get another opinion.
Lazarus is 41 and has failed a few cycles. Her doctor does not want to use the estrogen pirme. I say why not? It may or may not help, you just need to see.
Mina is 33 and was told she is in premature ovarian failure. You need to repeat the FSH and estrogen levels every 6 months, and least for a while. Sometimes things get better. However odds are the numbers are accurate and your doctor is correct.
Tracylayne's husband has a translocation and 6 sperm. It seems that your advice is accurate. We do not know with certainty about odds of pregnancy and miscarriage.
Rehab nurse is considering reversing her tubal ligation. You are right in that you need to get to the right doctor, but it is hard to know who that person is. Some states have insurance companies that cover the procedure so doctors there have more experience because they do more. It's the balance between reversing the tubes and just doing IVF. Some women prefer the IVF because they can still have contraception after the baby is born. The operation may cost more than one IVF cycle, however it may take more than one IVF cycle to get pregnant.
Chris has severe endometriosis. She has done 2 retrievals , makes a good egg number and has nice embryos. She has also done frozens.
Make sure you don't have a hydrosalpinx (blocked swollen tube). Assuming you do not, it may just be a matter of trying again. Your history does sound like there are many positives that can work in your favor.
Karen has triplets and the new fertility clinic is criticizing her for wanting another baby. Go elsewhere, their attitude is not appropriate.
Heather wants to know if she should do back to back iuis. It probably is not necessary, providing the timing of the one iui is proper. If there is a question about the timing, use the 2.
The Kinsleys had a nice fresh cycle that failed and are worried that their frozen cycle will fail too.
There is not much to worry about. If they thought the embryos were good enough to freeze, they are probably more than good enough. This is one of the main reasons we freeze, if the fresh fails, you have the backup. It can work.
Curley wants to know if poor sperm can cause embryo quality issues. This is tough one. Usually not. However, I have seen a few cases along the way. The big problem is how to find out. If you make 20 eggs, you can feel better about splitting the eggs and using 2 sperm sources. If you have make 4 mature eggs, the experiment may not give you the answers you need. Most of my patients will try a few IVF cycles first, and then be forced to make a decision. May do not opt for the husband/donor split.

Izodiaque Compatibility Numerology – People Born on 6Th, 15th and 24th of any Month
Compatibility Numerology.
To read more Research and Lectures on Numerology, logon to http://www.izodiaque.in
In this lecture I will be talking about Number 6 people in relationship with other numbers. Number 6 is a feminine number and is a benefic number. Number 6 people are very romantic and through out their life they keep on looking for opposite sex. Most of them will have a relationship outside their marriage.
Number 6 people in relationship with other numbers. Please note that here psychic number is to be seen. So people born on 6, 15 and 24 are psychic number 6.
6 & 1: 6 doesn't like to be in discipline. 1 is practical and straight forward. 6 and 1 are very different when it comes to approach towards life. Number 1 are generally committed and do not have flirtish tendencies on the other hand Number 6 people have serious flirtish tendencies. Number 1 will not be able to stand their partners flirting with others. This matching is not recommended.
6 & 2: In astrology, Moon and Venus are enemies. 6 is Venus and 2 is Moon. Both have flirtish tendencies. Both are feminine numbers. Both are moody as well. Not recommended to get married.
6 & 3: Mostly all the numbers are attracted to 6. 3 is no exception. 3 being Jupiter and very powerful, still get attracted to 6. 3's are beneficial for 6 however 6's are not beneficial to 3. This match is seen to be working very well. Although clash can be their due to ego issues.
6 & 4: One of the best matches. 4's are not very posessive and hence they can have normal married life with 6.
6 & 5: 5 and 6 gel well. They get friendly very soon and if they get attracted to each other their relationships start very soon. But at times it is seen that they end very soon as well. Both numbers like entertainment and like to be in the limelight. Recommended to go for each other.
6 & 6: Good combination. 6 is a strong number. Both are romantic, sensitive and sensual. Both will be able to understand each other well.
6 & 7: 6 and 7 will do well together. 7 likes visualizing and are romantic as well. They have their own way of expressing which is often liked by 6.
6 & 8: Very difficult to predict about this combination. Here number 8 will mostly suffer. Anyways number 8 people are not lucky in terms of relationships. With number 6 being flirtish they might suffer all the way more. Most number 8's are simple and straight forward and may have to suffer a lot being with number 6.
6 & 9: Both are exactly opposites and will do well as life partners. But number 9 will not be able to stand their partners going for relationships outside their marriage.
Please note the psychic number gets positive and negative depending upon the destiny and name number they are associated with.
The above analysis is just an indication. Generally a detailed analysis is suggested before getting married. Also depending upon the actual date of birth results may be different.

HP's final decision on webOS should come Friday
updated 11:05 pm EST, Thu December 8, 2011
HP all-hands on webOS fate to finally come
HP's definitive answer on webOS should come at an all-hands meeting on Friday. Leaked details from staff to PreCentral have CEO Meg Whitman briefing the webOS Global Business Unit at 1:30PM Eastern. The outcome itself isn't known and will likely be a secret until Whitman's presentation.
Whitman has been more receptive to webOS in recent weeks. Whether or not that translates to renewed webOS hardware is still uncertain, if not doubtful. Rumors have swirled around possible negotiations with Intel and others over a sale of the division rather than just closing it down.
Publicly, HP has put its faith in tablets into Windows 8 and has suggested it wouldn't have a webOS tablet on shelves in 2012 even if it kept the group in place.
WebOS built up anticipation in 2009, when many saw it as Palm's chance at becoming the second real alternative to the iPhone. After a brief spurt of sales in mid-2009, it quickly tapered off as Palm's estimates were found to be too optimistic. The company eventually sold to HP for $1.2 billion, but HP isn't believed to have invested significantly more into development and led to crucial devices taking too long to ship.
As a hardware platform, webOS was possibly killed off outright in August this year, when then-chief Leo Apotheker decided HP couldn't compete in mobile. He was promptly fired, however, and despite promises of continuing the basics of his strategy, it's thought that his attempt to exit hardware sped up his forced departure.

By Janet Hook and Joseph B. White
Rick Santorum's campaign is trying to get out the vote – among Democrats as well as Republicans – for Tuesday's Michigan primary.
A Santorum spokesman confirmed that the campaign launched automated phone calls urging Democrats to cross party lines and vote in the GOP primary for the former Pennsylvania senator.
Some of the calls argue that Democrats should vote against Mitt Romney because of his opposition to the government rescue of the auto industry — even though Mr. Santorum also opposed the bailout.
Hogan Gidley, a spokesman for Mr. Santorum, said Monday that the campaign is using the calls as part of its effort to court conservative "Reagan Democrats" in Michigan, stressing Mr. Santorum's program for reviving manufacturing.
"If we can get the Reagan Democrats in the primary, we can get them in the general," Mr. Gidley said. "Reagan Democrats will come on board for Rick Santorum…Check all the debates, Rick Santorum is the only one who's said we must court the Reagan Democrats."
Some Romney supporters have been worried that Michigan Democrats would make mischief with the state's open primary system to tilt the balance to Mr. Santorum – not because they favor him as a candidate but just to embarrass Mr. Romney in the state where he grew up and prolong the GOP infighting.
Romney spokesman Ryan Williams called Mr. Santorum's move "outrageous. " "Rick Santorum has moved beyond just 'taking one for the team,' he is now willing to wear the other team's jersey if he thinks it will get him more votes. We believe that Republicans will decide who wins Michigan – and we are confident that will be Mitt Romney."
Joe DiSano, a Democratic political consultant who has urged Democrats to vote for Mr. Santorum, said Monday he had a list of 12,000 names lined up for automated calls and mass emails. "I started this as a lark," Mr. DiSano said. "Then I realized how weak Romney is."

Android Process Types, Priority and Process StatesThe order in which processes are killed to reclaim resources is determined by the priority of the hosted applications. An application's priority is equal to its highest-priority component. Where two applications have the same priority, the process that has been at a lower priority longest will be killed first.
Process priority is also affected by inter-process dependencies; if an application has a dependency on a Service or Content Provider supplied by a second application, the secondary application will have at least as high a priority as the application it supports. It's important to structure your application correctly to ensure that its priority is appropriate for the work it's doing. If you don't, your application could be killed while it's in the middle of something important. The following list details each of the application explaining how the state is determined by the application components comprising it:
1. Active Processes
Active (foreground) processes are those hosting applications with components currently interacting with the user. These are the processes Android is trying to keep responsive by reclaiming resources. There are generally very few of these processes, and they will be killed only as a last resort. Active processes include:
a) Activities in an active state; that is, they are in the foreground and responding to user events. You will explore Activity states in greater detail later in this chapter.
b) Activities, Services, or Broadcast Receivers that are currently executing an onReceive event handler.
c) Services that are executing an onStart, onCreate, or onDestroy event handler.
2. Visible Processes
Visible, but inactive processes are those hosting "visible" Activities. As the name suggests, visible Activities are visible, but they aren't in the foreground or responding to user events. This happens when an Activity is only partially obscured (by a non-full-screen or transparent Activity). There are generally very few visible processes, and they'll only be killed in extreme circumstances to allow active processes to continue.
3. Started Service Processes
Processes hosting Services that have been started. Services support ongoing processing that should continue without a visible interface. Because Services don't interact directly with the user, they receive a slightly lower priority than visible Activities. They are still considered to be foreground processes and won't be killed unless resources are needed for active or visible processes.
4. Background Processes
Processes hosting Activities that aren't visible and that don't have any Services that have been started are considered background processes. There will generally be a large number of background processes that Android will kill using a last-seen-first-killed pattern to obtain resources for foreground processes.
5.Empty Processes
To improve overall system performance, Android often retains applications in memory after they have reached the end of their lifetimes. Android maintains this cache to improve the start-up time of applications when they're re-launched. These processes are routinely killed as required

all depends how precise you want it. obviously if you've lowered it,the camber will be out of recommended specs. how much have you lowered it?did you put lowered shocks on it as well?
Cheers for the reply.
I only lowered it 30mm, apparently you don't have to change the shocks as ford use the springs on the sports version of the mondeo, which use the same shocks as mine.

The 284 Sunesta has a LOA of 28'4" (8.64 m) and a beam of 9' (2.74 m) that carries far forward.
So What's So Innovative?
We counted four innovative features on our out-of-water walk around. Just what were they? For starters, looking up at the bow was pretty revealing. Chaparral calls it their "Wide Tech" bow. It appears that they have successfully found a way to combine a pickle fork and "V" into one hull. In other words, the hull has a conventional deep-V forefoot at the waterline with a pickle fork on deck. This gives you the usual handling and performance of a sportboat, with the roomier bow of a deck boat.
What else? Moving aft I noticed all of the through hull fittings are solid stainless. Not stainless capped plastic, or chrome over bronze... stainless. And there were a lot of them, not only for the bilge pumps, but for the drains of the compartment lid channels as well.
The outdrive sits in a transom notch and the hull carries back past the drive. This gives a longer riding surface and the hull has more buoyancy aft, both of which should mean that the boat will come up on plane sooner and with less bow rise. We'll see about that during our test.
It also means that the integral swim platform can easily extend beyond the sterndrive lower unit and prop so that swimmers can slide off the platform without worrying about getting cut. From an aesthetic standpoint, by recessing the lower unit into her transom the 284 has pleasing, flowing lines. In order to have the swim platform extend beyond the props, many builders resort to an extended platform that is not in proportion with the rest of the boat, and often is not particularly pretty. Score a big one for Chaparral for this design.
Lastly, the hull is Kevlar reinforced, with dual lifting strakes on both sides leading up to a reversed chine and a 22-degree deadrise. All of which say "good handling" to me, and combined should prove to be exactly that. Again, we'll see.
L-shaped seating, premium arch tower with Bimini, entertainment center, dual deck hatches, wide bow seating, retractable aft seating and electric grill all await you aboard the 284 Sunesta.
Performance and Handling
For starters, I wanted to check out the bow rise situation. I've tested boats with a bow rise as high as 16-degrees... the 284 Sunesta managed to pull off a 7-degree bow rise. Evidently, the extended V-Plane hull seems to be doing its job. Minimum planing speed was just about 16 mph and 2500 rpm, which isn't bad. That means you can save more fuel by going slower, but in this boat, the target audience is not likely to be too concerned with saving a couple of bucks on gasoline.
Putting the wheel hard over and firewalling the throttle showed a 10-degree bank and no ventilation from the prop. I had full control of the turn radius by simply giving minor adjustments to the throttle and the boat showed no tendency to fall off the turn or respond adversely in any way.
Because of the reverse chines, when you put the 284 Sunesta into a hard turn at speed, it really grabs onto the water and cranks around like it's on rails. You need to make sure everyone is hanging on, or slow the boat down before turning, because you won't find that the 284 will slow down for you in a turn, nor will it skid out to the side. It's really quite exhilarating.
Test power was a MerCruiser 496 MAG. Top speed? 49.1 mph.
The boat was powered by a 375-hp MerCruiser 496 MAG engine. Top speed came in at 4800 rpm and 49.1 mph. At that speed we were burning 30.1 gph and getting 1.63 mpg for a range of 154 miles. Dialed back to a more economical cruise of 3500 rpm found us running at 33.8 mph with a 13.3 gph fuel burn. That meant that we were getting 2.55 mpg and a range of 241 miles with a 10% reserve.
Time to plane was 4.6 seconds and we accelerated through 30 mph in 10 seconds.
The Layout at the Stern
The 284 Sunesta has a lot going on so let's take a walkthrough of the layout and see how Chaparral makes a difference in their boats.
Two hatches in the platform contain a swim ladder to starboard, a cooler to port. There's also a transom shower.
Starting at the swim platform, there are two hatches in the deck. To starboard is a reboarding ladder, directly in line of sight of the helm. We like to see these ladders recessed into the top of the deck as they're much easier to deploy than when residing underneath. They also don't have a tendency to deploy by themselves this way. To port is an in-deck insulated cooler. We've all seen the hockey puck stereo remotes at the transom, but here is a built-in remote mounted in a stainless plate in conjunction with an outdrive trim switch. The transom shower is attached to a stainless hose that will not kink, and retracts into a containment bag so it won't catch on anything either.
The aft seating in the 284 electrically retracts into a sun lounge.
There is a comfortable aft facing rumble seat that seems to be mounted at just the right height, as my feet were comfortably on the deck while sitting normally. Stainless grab handles are to either side, but don't look at them as a means to promote utilizing this seat while underway. It's strictly an "on the hook" feature, or perhaps even when beached. With the touch of a rocker switch at the helm, the dual aft seats lay flat to form a sun pad, and then the inboard section lifts up to become a chaise lounge.
The swim platform also has non-skid laid across its entire length, and pull-up cleats are low in the corners to keep crossed dock lines out of the trip zone.
Entry to the cockpit is via a starboard side gate that I was happy to see opened inward. This prevents falling out should you find yourself falling into the gate. Off to port is roomy L-shaped seating with thick "Dura-Life Max" premium expanded vinyl upholstery secured with triple-French stitching. That's right... triple, once in a center seam, and then twice more to either side. I also noticed that under each cushion, there are no staples showing that another seam is laid over to finish the cushion off. The seat bases are Starlight to prevent rotting, and the foam is Flow Foam to remain dry.
Instead of the usual 28 oz. carpet, Chaparral uses 40 oz. and notice the reinforced snaps.
The seats are all made with Dura Life 36 oz. vinyl, high density foam with mildew inhibitors, a flow foam drainage layer, angled aluminum reinforcements and a composite Starlight base.
To starboard is an entertainment center with a sink, and a stainless basin for dropping "stuff" into. This basin can be replaced with an electric grill and I'd recommend that route. Just past that is a trash chute that leads to the wastebasket below. Beneath is a pull out cooler in a drawer that it shares with the aforementioned wastebasket. By the way, that sink I mentioned… it lacks the standard J-hook faucet we usually see in boats and instead goes with a pull out sprayer that is also on a stainless hose, and can be used to rinse off the cockpit deck if desired. Neat trick.
A cockpit table with a side mounted base will allow for snacks, or if you opt for the grill, full meals.
The cooler and wastebasket are on a pull out drawer. Notice the premium helm seat. The step makes boarding a breeze when tied to a fixed dock. The swim platform works for a floating dock.
Helm and Observer
The helm and observer's seats are referred to as Chaparral Premium bucket seats and they're pretty slick for a couple of reasons. One, they do not wrap around you. Instead of sliding your body forward and out, something you rarely have room to do, you can simply rotate your body to the side and out. Secondly, gone are the days of fumbling around trying to feel for your seat adjustments under the seat, and then grabbing the slide adjustment when you want to swivel. The adjustments for these seats are right next to your knees in the form of pull-up handles, and they're clearly marked.
Those gauges are filled with nitrogen to make them fog proof. The two rectangular areas to either side of the wheel are aluminum mounting panels. Power steering is standard.
The helm is nicely laid out with large rectangular gauges for speed and tach with a multi-function digital readout beneath the tach. A standard Garmin GPS MAP 530c lies to center stage. The rocker switches to either side of the panel have dual LED lights, one to see the international symbol, and the other to show when activated. Next to the ignition is a dimmer control. Way over to the right and below are the standard trim switches. I never touched the tabs during my test. That's a testament to the hull design I mentioned in the beginning.
To the Bow
The walkthrough windshield is supported with solid stainless rods, rather than the ball and socket setup that typically becomes the number one maintenance replacement item. Putting my hands on each windshield allowed me to lift myself up without affecting the windshield. A side hatch opens up to block off the wind when the windshield is closed off, and I was happy to see that this didn't leave a wide open space leading to the under console storage.
Shown here is the roomy head with the optional porcelain VacuFlush. A Porta-Potti is standard equipment.
At the bow, a very roomy layout awaits you. I could absolutely see the adults gathering here while the kids yell and scream off the stern. There is a starboard side filler cushion as an option, and without it, you can set up a table and have booth style seating. The forward facing seat ahead of the helm also electrically extends into the center of the bow to become a double wide seat.
Notice the low profile stainless bow rails.
The bow beach boarding ladder shares a compartment with the anchor storage, and when deployed, the forward combined navigation light flips over to a flush mounted stainless steel plate to avoid tripping over the light.
There is storage under the side seats and a cooler under the forward seat.
If you took this boat and stood it side-by side with the competition, you could start checking off the list of upgrades that Chaparral includes as standard on this boat. As a matter of fact, if you go to a dealer, that's probably exactly what he'll do, and with good reason. As I said in the beginning, these boats are a bit more expensive than some others, but you get what you pay for. In the case of the 284 Sunesta, because of the hull design and some of the details mentioned, I think you may even get a good deal more.

Welcome to the Underground Author
Mark Anderson Esquire!
Kimberly: Please tell us a little about yourself.
Mr. Esquire: I am lucky to be fairly well traveled and have lived in several countries over the course of my life. The weird things I've seen and the weirder things I've read all go into my writing. At present I live in my native Ireland with my wife and our daughter. I do have a career but it's far too dull to mention. Suffice to say that writing is an outlet for the craziness that I keep bottled up Monday to Friday, nine to five.
Kimberly: Is Murder & Single Malt your first novel?
Mr. Esquire: I have been writing regularly in one form or another since I was a teenager, although it's only in the last five years that I've turned to fiction. Prior to M&SM there were some lesser novels that were mostly my attempts to learn and grow as a writer. They have been consigned to the Lost 'n' Found box in the sky. May they rest in peace.
Kimberly: Murder & Single Malt is an amazing adventure inside the mind of a serial killer. Did you do a lot of research on serial murderers?
Mr. Esquire: Actually when I started thinking about M&SM I was fairly well read on serial killers. Crime stories, particularly grizzly ones, fascinated me as a younger man. I've been reading about Dahmer, Gacy and Gein since I was a teenager. I blame violent video games, personally.
Actually the topic that needed the most research was whiskey; I wanted the central character Mike to be fluent on the merits of different whiskeys and even to have firm opinions on the different distillation methods. So to give his character the depth it needed I ended up reading extensively on the topic of whiskey production. I also sampled some of the nicer examples.
Mr. Esquire: For me the stories ferment for some time before I begin to make notes about character, location and events. Murder & Single Malt took around two years from start to finish – that's not to say I wrote full time, there were plenty of evenings spent in the eternal battle of Mark versus the blank page. And the vast majority of the writing process, for me at any rate, is actually the re-writing. They say that the second draft should be the first draft minus twenty percent – I try to cleave as much as possible from the first and refine down as much as possible for the second.
Kimberly: Why a book about a serial murderer?
Mr. Esquire: Hopefully what I write will entertain the reader, that's always my first thought – what do people want to read. There is something very real and engaging about murder, for some primitive reason we seem to be finely tuned to the idea of taking life, both for the right reasons and the wrong.
As it happens I didn't start out writing a story about a serial killer, murder wasn't a main point in my early notes. I wanted to explore what might happen to a fragile young mind if it lost all support from friends and family. What I've found is that the best characters tell you their story as you write, not the other way round.
Kimberly: Did you send your book to agents before you self-published? If so, what was your experience in sending to agents?
Mr. Esquire: The best advice is to try secure an agent as it greatly helps to have an experienced side-kick pushing your career forward. I did try to secure an agent before self-publishing but the difficulties ultimately out-weighed the advantages. If the literary world worked on the same time scale as the rest of the world it might be an easier process, but waiting two years for a rejection letter ultimately closes off all your options while you wait. I figured I could continue to collect polite rejection letters from agents or I could self-publish and move on to my next story. At the end of the day, the story is what has to drive you.
Kimberly: Do you market Murder & Single Malt yourself? If so, what kind of marketing do you do?
Mr. Esquire: Mostly the marketing efforts have been online. Originally the book was only meant to be released for Kindle but within the first week there were dozens of requests for a paperback edition. The print-on-demand revolution has given aspiring authors a path direct to market, something I'm sure prior generations of writers would have killed for. Outside of the typical writer's platform (Facebook/Twitter/etc) I seek out reviews for the book and trust in that elusive phantom – word of mouth.
Kimberly: What's on the horizon for Mark Esquire Anderson?
Mr. Esquire: Uberlord – a nerdy conspiracy epic has just been published. It was a real blast to write as it exposes my inner geek. I wanted to write a cyberpunk adventure, to depart from M&SM and move in a new direction. I reckon my future efforts will jump genres as I tend not to read in one subculture of books.
Uberlord was written, in part, as a homage to The Illuminatus Trilogy by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson. It is perhaps the best book to poke fun at conspiracy theories while ripping the reader through the landscape of a crazy drug-fueled adventure. If Uberlord is even slightly close in how well it engages than I will be happy.
Kimberly: One of the most amazing things to me in reading this book is that as a reader, I started to kind of like the guy. Did you set out to achieve this?
Mr. Esquire: All the good qualities of the book were my intention from the start, the mistakes and confusing bits – those were all added later during the copyright and editing processes. I kid obviously. I did want the central character Mike to be relatable – just how much the reader relates to a serial killer is up to them really. If Mike could act like this, perhaps we all could – perhaps after a push in the wrong direction. Several readers have said they ended up empathizing with him, his world was destroyed and he turned in what he felt was the only logical direction – that of mass murder.
Kimberly: If there is one subject you'd like to write a novel about, what would it be?
Mr. Esquire: I am fascinated by the human brain, from the reasons we act the way we do right down to the molecular dance of memory encoding and emotional imprinting. It's always struck me as peculiar that the brain is the most important part of our biology and yet the least understood. There is a germ of an idea in the back of my mind, a story about a woman who explores self-hypnosis and delves so deep that her sanity fractures and she is must work her way back to reality. The idea would be to explore the conscious and sub-conscious minds in direct conflict with each other, touching on the concepts of "madness" as we define it; a crazy idea no doubt.

text: Pippa's New Job Is Kind of Embarrassing Middleton writing for supermarket's in-house magazine By Evann Gastaldo, Newser Staff Posted Feb 25, 2013 10:33 AM CST STORY COMMENTS (22) (Newser) – It must be tough to be Pippa Middleton: Your sister is basically a princess, currently carrying the future king or queen of England in her beloved womb, while you're stuck ... writing for a supermarket's in-house magazine. Yes, party planner Pippa, whose book bombed, has a new gig writing a column for Waitrose Kitchen, the mag put out by Waitrose (a grocery store that, Tom Sykes informs us in the Daily Beast, is "Britain's poshest"). The first "Pippa's Friday Night Feasts" column appears in the April issue, out next month. Sykes guesses the palace is less than pleased with the idea. Turns out Pippa was barred from promoting her aforementioned book, as well as forced to turn down a job offer from NBC, by the palace; at this point she's "virtually unemployable," Sykes writes. Twitter satire account Pippa Tips is already having fun with Middleton's new gig, posting, "Supermarkets do not wear capes and rescue people, but they are good places to buy groceries and pick up helpful magazines."

What's the difference between an entrepreneur who is perceived as successful and someone who's struggling in business? Generally, one of the key factors that differentiate between the two is attitude. Now, you may a be thinking, "I have a great attitude. I've stuck with this in spite of my financial struggles and I never complain." That's fabulous, and definitely a great start. But how do you feel about yourself? Do you feel successful? Do you wake up in the morning and think to yourself, "I'm a successful entrepreneur and I love it?" If you're fraught with financial woes, or you can't seem to move your company to the next level, it's likely that you don't.
Are you someone who has achieved amazing things in life and business, yet don't recognize just how successful you are? Come on, be honest. Oftentimes, people measure success only by money and not brains, talent, perseverance, service, skill, achievement, or any number of important factors. Certainly, money is important, and nearly everyone wants more it, but don't let it be the only measurement of your success. To achieve greater wealth, it's imperative that you first accept and celebrate yourself.
Why? Because it's like taking a powerful, magical energy drink and it can change your life. When you celebrate YOU, it's motivating, energizing, uplifting, and generally makes you a magnet for success. People love associating with success-minded people. If you feel positive about yourself and you reinforce that feeling daily, you will wear it loud and clear and others will be drawn to you. Heck, you'll be drawn to yourself! As your energy shifts, things around you will begin to reflect that shift. Your self-confidence will soar, you will make decisions more clearly and feel more strongly motivated to achieve your goals and dreams. Celebration is magic that magic is within all of us.
So now you're probably thinking, "What do I have to celebrate and how do I do it?" And in return I ask you, what makes you feel good about yourself? What would you feel good about at the end of the day if you were to focus only on the positive? Below are a few suggestions. Get creative with them and add your own ideas. As you put this into practice notice how much happier you feel and how much more productive you become. It is magic — and it's all about YOU.
Keep a mini-journal. Once a day spend 5 minutes writing a sentence or two about something that you feel happy about having done. Instead of berating yourself for not even looking at your to-do list, write about how good it feels to have today's achievements off your plate. Success-minded people have appreciation for what is and it simply feels good to do this exercise.
Cheer yourself on. After you complete a task, work with a client, make your sales calls, etc., stand up and cheer! That's right, physical activity shifts your energy and helps you feel good. Give yourself the "go team" pat on the back that solopreneurs so rarely experience.
Tell a friend — brag! Yes, you have bragging rights. If you crossed 3 things off your to-do list, had an especially great conversation with a prospect, or made a promising connection, pick up the phone and call a friend or relative who will understand what that means to you. If no one in your life fits the bill — hire a coach! Coaches love hearing their clients brag!
Face the sunshine. Sun has the ability to make anyone feel good. I love to step out into my beautiful garden and tilt my head toward the sun. As I close my eyes I reflect on the feel-good sensation growing inside. And I give thanks for having the ability to achieve whatever it is that I'm celebrating in the moment. Ahhhhh.
So you get the picture. Celebration is a simple state of mind and this state has the power to change your life. It's just another example of A Million-Dollar Mindset — enjoy it!

Crash.Net F1 News
Perez looking to sign off with top ten return
22 November 2012
Despite a poor run of form that has seen him fail to score since being confirmed as Jenson Button's new team-mate at McLaren for 2013, Sergio Perez is optimistic enough to think that he can provide Sauber with a top ten send-off.
The Mexican is clinging to tenth place on the drivers' standings, having claimed three podium finishes for Sauber in 2012, but is determined to sign off on his two-year stint with the Swiss team by adding to its points tally and helping it to overthrow Mercedes in the constructors' race.
"The Brazilian Grand Prix will be the last race of a very long season that has seen a lot of ups and downs, and it will be a very special event for me as it is the last race I will drive for Sauber before I leave," Perez confirmed, "It is a great team and I want to thank everybody for everything they have done for me over the last two years.
"I am sure it will be very emotional for me at Interlagos, [but] the best way to say thank-you, of course, would be a great result and to beat the team in front of us. This is my target. I believe and I hope our car should be good enough there for a strong top ten position."
Both Perez and current team-mate Kamui Kobayashi – who should learn his F1 fate this weekend as Sauber prepares to announce its second driver for next season – profess to love the Interlagos layout, which the Japanese driver has good reason to remember.
"I like Brazil, I like the Brazilians and I like the Churrascarias," Kobayashi enthused, "Interlagos is the place where I drove my first F1 race in 2009 and, last year, we were in a battle with Toro Rosso for seventh place in the championship, which we were finally able to defend.
"I'm really looking forward to this grand prix. It's always special to race in front of the Brazilian fans because they are so enthusiastic about motorsport – and I have heard from many different people that I have a lot of fans in Brazil, which is a surprise to me, but a very nice one."
Sauber has experienced both highs and lows in 2012, with four podiums but also empty-handed Sundays like last time out in Austin. However, the team has 124 points to its name approaching the finale where, last year, it only had 44 points at the end of the season. Back in 2011, that was enough to defend seventh place in the constructors' championship, but this weekend there are bigger fish to fry as Interlagos provides one last chance to try and close a twelve-point gap and seize fifth in the championship at the expense of the Mercedes works team, which also hasn't scored since Singapore.

Severe community-acquired pneumonia is a major cause of admission to intensive care units and its mortality rates remain exceedingly high. In the search for adjunctive therapies, clinicians who were encouraged by available, though limited, evidence prescribed steroids in most patients with severe sepsis or septic shock, including those with community-acquired pneumonia. Current evidence demonstrates that, whereas corticosteroids should not be routinely employed as adjuvant therapy for severe community-acquired pneumonia, there is sufficient equipoise to continue studying the use of corticosteroids.
