The inaugural Indiana Governor's Conference for Women had sessions on raising money for a business, handling work-life balance, and using social media. But it also ignited protests on Twitter for issues it did not mention, such as the wage gap, reproductive rights, and healthcare.
As attendees who paid around $195 for admission listened to Martha Stewart speak at the JW Marriott in Indianapolis, Tweets flew about how the event ignored the real problems facing women in Indiana.
"If you're going to have a conference for Hoosier women and by Hoosier women, maybe you should cover some things ...

Names & games II
Perhaps the Trib should consider publishing the names of senators, House members and staffers who have Washington Redskins season tickets, or have accepted tickets to or have sat in companies' boxes for Redskins games — or publishing the names of companies that have Redskins season tickets.
Maybe include senior NAACP or executive branch officials who have attended Redskins games. Nothing pejorative, but just a listing of those folks.
The list is expanding as I write this. But I think you get the idea. Oh yeah, it should be on the front page and be a surprise. Hypocrisy in action, I think.

Daily Deals: Cozy contemporaries and Zodiac paranormals
Lucky Harbor Series by Jill Shalvis. $ 1.99
From the Jacket Copy:
Maddie Moore's whole life needs a makeover.
In one fell swoop, Maddie loses her boyfriend (her decision) and her job (so not her decision). But rather than drowning her sorrows in bags of potato chips, Maddie leaves L.A. to claim the inheritance left by her free-spirited mother-a ramshackle inn nestled in the little coastal town of Lucky Harbor, Washington.
Starting over won't be easy. Yet Maddie sees the potential for a new home and a new career-if only she can convince her two half-sisters to join her in the adventure. But convincing Tara and Chloe will be difficult because the inn needs a big makeover too.
The contractor Maddie hires is a tall, dark-haired hottie whose eyes-and mouth-are making it hard for her to remember that she's sworn off men. Even harder will be Maddie's struggles to overcome the past, though she's about to discover that there's no better place to call home than Lucky Harbor.
Here's the reading order for the first six priced at $1.99 each. The Lucky Harbor series is a nice contemporary series featuring decent people and relatable problems. Hard not to like that.
Simply Irresistible (A Lucky Harbor Novel 1)
The Sweetest Thing (A Lucky Harbor Novel 2)
Head Over Heels (A Lucky Harbor Novel 3)
Lucky in Love (A Lucky Harbor Novel 4)
At Last (A Lucky Harbor Novel 5)

India Fan by Victoria Holt. $ 2.99
From the Jacket Copy:
With Over 100 Million Books Sold, Victoria Holt is the Queen of Gothic Romance.
Blackmail. Arson. Murder. Obsession.
Beautiful as its peacock feathers may be, the priceless fan hidden deep within the Framling mansion has a legacy of death and destruction. And Drusilla Delany has no idea she's been marked by its curse…
But the fan's dark past might prove less of a danger than Fabian Framling himself. Dark, brooding, and dominating, will he be the one to save her from the fan's cruel fate…or cause her demise?
Beautiful Drusilla Delany had always been a sensible girl, the daughter of an impoverished vicar in Victorian England. But then she became infatuated with wealthy Fabian and Lavinia Framling–and inherited an extraordinary fan with a beautiful and fateful curse! A knock-out novel of mysticism and murder from the author of The Silk Vendetta.
Heh. Anyway, the book takes place in New Delhi during the Sepoy rebellion. Sunita, did you read this?

Temptation in a Kilt by Victoria Roberts. $ 2.99
From the Jacket Copy:
She's On Her Way to Safety
It's a sign of Lady Rosalia Armstrong's desperation that she's seeking refuge in a place as rugged and challenging as the Scottish Highlands. She doesn't care about hardship and discomfort, if only she can become master of her own life. Laird Ciaran MacGregor, however, is completely beyond her control…
He Redefines Dangerous…
Ciaran MacGregor knows it's perilous to get embroiled with a fiery Lowland lass, especially one as headstrong as Rosalia. Having made a rash promise to escort her all the way to Glengarry, now he's stuck with her, even though she challenges his legendary prowess at every opportunity. When temptation reaches its peak, he'll be ready to show her how he really is…on and off the battlefield.

The Danger That Is Damion by Lisa Renee Jones. $ 2.99.
From the Jacket Copy:
Lethally passionate, wickedly dangerous…
Renegade warrior Damion Browne is a soldier of soldiers, an enforcer of the code of honor. With ruthless precision, he calculates risks as deliberately as he does his lover's satisfaction. Now it's up to him to defeat a new generation of female Super Soldiers, including the one woman perfectly programmed to be his downfall.
His enemy…or his soul mate?
Lara Martin has never felt powerful, until she's brainwashed to destroy the one man who can help her find the answers she so desperately seeks. Alone and embroiled in lies, Lara must turn to Damion for the key to the truth …
I only hope that the female Super Soldier still is out slaying people instead of being domesticated by love.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ Kansas health officials aren't surprised that swine flu has been declared a pandemic.
Jason Eberhart-Phillips, the state health director, said the World Health Organization action Thursday is an important reminder the flu is still around. The global organization said since it was first detected in late April in Mexico and the United States, swine flu has reached 74 countries, infecting nearly 29,000 people.
Kansas has 98 reported swine flu cases in 16 counties. Geary County has the most cases with 25 reported, followed by Riley County with 23. Most of the cases have been mild.
The decision confirms that the first flu pandemic in more than 40 years is under way in at least two continents.

Style.com caught up with Andrew Richardson of Richardson Magazine for a really interesting chat to coincide with the release of the latest issue A5, Richardson have also presented a video for the new A5 issue which you can view here.
What made you decide to launch Richardson?
Well, after I'd gone out on my own as a stylist, I was working a lot with Terry Richardson and Mario Sorrenti, and we were doing stuff that was really anti-grunge, anti that whole asexual thing about grunge, and most magazines wouldn't publish it. But there was this one guy in Tokyo—Charlie Brown [a.k.a. Fumihiro Hayashi]—who had a magazine calledDune, and he'd run those stories. At some point, I showed him a scrapbook of ideas I had, and he said, you know, it would be interesting to see what kind of porn magazine you'd do. So we did one.
Do you see Richardson as a porn magazine?
No. We like to call it a sex magazine. We recontextualize sex; we're analytical about it.Richardson isn't about coming. Which is the point of porn.
So what is the point?
Stimulation. Not orgasm stimulation, but stimulating debate. It's like an asexual sex magazine.
I'm not sure how many copies you're going to sell on the back of that marketing campaign. "An asexual sex magazine." Sign me up!
We have quite a cult following, actually. People were really excited to have the magazine back.
Yeah, what happened there? Why the eight-year hiatus between issues?
Well, part of that is, this is a really personal project. It takes time. And it takes money to manufacture. There are certain qualities I won't compromise, like the paper and the way it's printed. But the other thing is, there's a real challenge in finding material that suits. We don't have huge resources to commission, and we have to use all of our intelligence and guile to get good work.

As of Monday, September 23, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
On Aug. 21, 2013 the Syrian government of Bashar-al Assad was alleged to have used chemical weapons against its own people when it launched rocket and artillery attacks on the strongholds of rebels fighting to topple his regime in the suburbs of Damascus. These attacks resulted in the deaths of more than 1,400 Syrians, including children and women. The video footages told a gory story that was seen around the world. Having crossed the "red line" articulated by President Obama, some Americans saw this as an opportunity for the United States to enter the civil war in Syria.
The pressure for war was building, as some analysts opined that inaction would be a sign of weakness. American battleships were ordered to the coast of Syria. This action placed pressure on Syria and its benefactor, Russia, and prompted President Vladimir Putin — through his foreign minister, Sergey Larov — to offer the Syrian and American governments a diplomatic alternative to armed conflict.
On Sept. 9, Larov proposed international control over Syrian chemical weapons to avoid American strikes. He further called upon the Syrian government to agree on placing its chemical weapons storage sites under international control, as well as their subsequent destruction, and also to fully joining the treaty on prohibition of chemical weapons.
Diplomacy was thus introduced. And both the alleged culprit nation and the threatening world power agreed to give it a chance. Wherever there's potential for armed conflict, whether by conventional warfare as was the case in Iraq or missile strikes from afar, as Syria now presents, the best solution is always peace.
Happily, the diplomatic initiative of Russia has borne some fruit. On Sept. 14, the U.S. secretary of state, John Kerry, and Russian Foreign Minister Larov made public an ambitious plan to eliminate Syria's chemical weapons by the middle of next year and, significantly, left an opening for sanctions should Damascus fail to observe its obligations.
Whatever form war takes, the greater loss is measured in human casualties. Syrian chemical weapons may have killed over 1,400 people. How many people would American strikes have killed? Peace is the antidote to war. And peace can prevail only when astute diplomacy is given a chance. Fortunately, President Barack Obama, in his deliberative wisdom, decided to give diplomacy a chance.
Diplomacy is the art of negotiation. It is most essential during moments of crisis that portend for armed conflict. But can Putin and Assad be trusted? The questions of trust and mistrust, brandished against Russia and Syria, have no place in diplomacy. This is the case because there is no apparent need to negotiate with countries or people we trust. We hold conversations with friends and negotiate with enemies. The greatest diplomatist who ever walked on the face of this earth, Charles Maurice Talleyrand, was trusted by neither his boss (Napoleon) nor the other nations of Europe. In negotiations the end, which is peace, justifies the means — diplomacy.
War holds no benefits for Syria, the United States or Russia. The smoldering wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are yet to be brought under control. A new inferno in Syria may set aflame the entire region. To quote former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Syria represents yet another "unknown unknowns" situation.

Gary Pinkel drops in to see Dorial Green-Beckham
The most popular recruiting tool of the past few years isn't an iPhone or fancy new weight room (though those really don't hurt). You may or may not be surprised to learn that it's the helicopter.
Coaches have been dropping in on recruits thanks to private planes for decades, whisked across the country without wasting time connecting through an airport thanks to the large wallets of their boosters. Lately however, the transportation de jour for impressing high school recruits while saving time has been the helicopter. UCLA's Rick Neuheisel was the first coach to make a memorable big splash with one a few years ago, flying over Los Angeles gridlock to see multiple games on Friday night and to make sure recruits knew that he was coming to see them come hell or high heights.
Missouri head coach Gary Pinkel was the latest to use a chopper when he visited the number one overall recruit in the country, Dorial Green-Beckham, yesterday.
Coach has to do what a coach has to do, right? The Tigers appear to be on the outside looking in for the man known mostly as DGB. The recruit some have compared to Randy Moss will be taking an official visit to Arkansas this week and many have pegged the Razorbacks as the favorite for his signature come Signing Day. Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Auburn are also heavily pursuing Green-Beckham, who has kept quiet about his recruitment and rarely spoken to the media.
Still, he had to be a little impressed with Pinkel's sojourn to Springfield, Missouri this week through the air. We'll tell in two weeks if it worked but the next coach might have to step up their game on the next visit to see Green-Beckham. I'm thinking a Harrier would be impressive and don't think some coach hasn't already thought about it.
Since: Mar 8, 2011

Gary Pinkel drops in to see Dorial Green-Beckham
I can drive from Columbia to Springfield in 2.5 hours (leisurely). I understand the showmanship, but my common sense is just screaming "colossal waste of university dollars". I know a good player can turn a team around, get them to a better paying bowl and make this financial gamble a successful venture. I get the whole recruiting thing. But isn't this still a high school kid that could just as easily 1) de-commit with little notice 2) get busted for something stupid 3) decide to go somewhere else etc. ect. etc.

Etihad Airways brief for Bell Pottinger
Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, has brought in Bell Pottinger to work on a UK brief covering consumer, corporate, public affairs and sponsorship.
Bell Pottinger replaces Four Communications which worked on the account in the UK for the last five years. Four Communications in Abu Dhabi, led by Ray Eglington, the company's international managing director, will continue to provide corporate PR, strategic advice and issues management support to the airline.
Michael Venus, Etihad Airways' vice president of corporate affairs, said: "Bell Pottinger has an outstanding record of helping to build global brands in the travel and transport industry. Its experience is second to none and together we will be looking to deepen relationships with key stakeholders and communicate our success story to an even wider audience."
He said the appointment came at "a crucial time, as we continue to build our profile in the UK and other markets worldwide".
David Wilson, group managing director of parent group Bell Pottinger Private, who will oversee the account, said: "Etihad Airways has a world-class product and customer service record that stretches beyond its existing and growing number of loyal customers."
The agency will communicate the airline's corporate and product story among key influencers "helping to ensure that its importance as an economic enabler is better understood in the UK and beyond".
Bell Pottinger Business & Brand's specialist aerospace team will provide strategic communications counsel, plus consumer and corporate PR in the UK, while Bell Pottinger Public Affairs will also support the Abu Dhabi-based airline with political analysis and engagement.
The team will also handle the airline's UK sponsorships which include 2012 Barclays Premier League champions Manchester City, the club's signature Etihad Stadium, and also Harlequins, 2012 winners of rugby's Aviva Premiership.
Mr Venus thanked Four Communications "for their tireless efforts over the last five years".
Etihad Airways has this year acquired minority equity stakes in Virgin Australia, Air Seychelles and Aer Lingus, and owns nearly 30 per cent of airberlin. These investments complement the airline's organic growth and burgeoning codeshare partnerships.
The airline also recently announced an agreement with Air France-KLM to codeshare on flights across the airlines' networks, the first phase of a much larger strategic commercial partnership, which starts on October 28.
It reported third quarter revenues of US$1.3 billion, up 19 per cent on 2011 (US$ 1.1 billion). The record revenues reflected passenger numbers up 23 per cent, with 2.79 million travellers in the quarter (2.27 million).

NFL owners may have learned their lesson. Their own pool of head coaching candidates is just fine after all. They don't have to go fishing down in the colleges … and risk winding up with an old tire or boot. And an expensive one at that.
The week began with Chip Kelly holding an offer from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and with Jim Tressel reported to have interviewed multiple times for the Indianapolis Colts job. But by Wednesday night, Kelly had already reversed course and gone back to Oregon, and the Colts had passed on Tressel in favor of Ravens defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano.
Kelly made the decision for the Bucs. Jim Irsay, meanwhile, might have had a flashback to the sight of players on the 2007 Atlanta Falcons, clutching the mass-copied, one-paragraph form letters signed by Bobby Petrino and stuck in their lockers on his way to the airport.
Their ghostly voices might have floated past Irsay's ear: "Are you sure that's the way you want to go?"
Or he might have remembered the 2006 Miami Dolphins, who heard what the rest of the nation heard from Nick Saban, his adamant, defiant, unequivocal, public denial: "I guess I have to say it. I'm not going to be the Alabama coach.''
When it comes to scouring the college ranks for its head coaches, the NFL's credo seems to be, "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me 10 times, shame on me."
The shell games run by the cream of the crop of college football coaching never stop. The NFL keeps picking the wrong shell, cursing under their breath, then throwing down another fistful of cash, sure that they'll pick the one with the marble this time, they know it, they can't miss this time, it's a sure thing.
And heaven help us all when they pick right, as the 49ers did last year when Jim Harbaugh leveraged his success at Stanford. Harbaugh is the recent exception to the rule, the way Jimmy Johnson was a generation before. Yet the 49ers' run is likely the perfect excuse for teams to go searching the college ranks for the next one.
They always forget about hires like this from the last decade or so: Petrino, Saban, Steve Spurrier, Lane Kiffin, Pete Carroll, Dennis Erickson, Butch Davis.
The latest sure thing was Kelly, whom, as of Sunday night, the Bucs believed had agreed to accept their offer. "It's become clear his heart wasn't in it," Bucs general manager Mark Domenik emailed The Tampa Tribune the next day.
At least Kelly didn't wait until 13 games into his first season before deciding his heart wasn't in it, as Petrino did in bailing out of Atlanta for Arkansas.
Or a season and three-quarters, as Saban did; that was when the rumors of his leap to Alabama first surfaced.
Or two seasons, as Spurrier did before his confusing resignation as Redskins coach, announced while he was on the golf course and hours after he'd insisted he wasn't going anywhere. Turns out, he was going to South Carolina, after enjoying the money he'd made in Washington.
Tressel appeared to have landed on his feet after being catapulted out of Ohio State; he already was in Indy as a replay consultant. His name going on the list there was just a matter of time. Had he ever sniffed around at the NFL during his 10 years in Columbus, there's little doubt some team would have sniffed back. They can't help themselves.
Experts and analysts always scrutinize the track record of college-to-NFL coaches, searching for some common theme on why it's so riddled with failure. Having less control over the operation; Dealing with grown men instead of kids; Inability to handle losing more games in a month than they might have lost in the previous couple of years on campus; Subsuming their own well-fed egos in favor of the star player's, or general manager's, or owner's.
They're all legit reasons. Yet the factor that ought to scare off NFL franchises has only a little to do with those.
The real common theme: more often than not, these coaches showed up, cashed in and checked out. They saw a ceiling in their earnings at their own level. They know that the culture in college will allow their reps to remain intact no matter how big they flop in the NFL.
Thus … Spurrier can embarrass himself for two years in Washington, bank a ton of Dan Snyder's money, and come back to academia (so they say) still a hot name. Petrino can make a lousy situation in post-Michael Vick Atlanta even worse and still have a major program begging for him.
Saban? Cha-ching in Miami. Bling-bling in Tuscaloosa. His name is a profanity in South Florida. They built a statue for him at Alabama. The former had not a shred of bearing on the latter.
Is this what you want to buy into, NFL owners, serving as an ATM for the Sabans of the world?
Think about that when the next Chip Kelly or Jim Tressel shows up on the coaching radar.

ERBIE, Ark. (KTHV) - Authorities have identified the man who died while bluff-diving in the Buffalo River. Caven Clark with the National Park Service said the body of 27 year old Stephen A. Carney of Austin TX was found about 4 p.m. Sunday.
Clark said Carney and several friends were floating the river and stopped to jump from the bluff. Witnesses said Carney took about a fifteen foot run towards the edge of the bluff and did a somersault, landing on his face and frontal area.
The Buffalo River was running high and was extremely murky at the time of the accident.
Responders included the Newton County Search and Rescue team, Newton County Sheriff's Office, Tri-County Search and Rescue, the Mennonite Disaster Service Search and Rescue Team, Harrison Swift Water Rescue, and Buffalo National River Search and Rescue.
Beginning Friday afternoon numerous boats, including two with side-scanning sonar, were deployed in and below the accident area. Heavy rain on Friday night-Saturday morning raised the Buffalo to flood stage and brought a large amount of woody debris that hampered search efforts. By Sunday the river had receded three feet and was becoming more clear, making the use of a boat-mounted fish eye camera possible.
Carney's body was located approximately 844 feet downstream from the point where he was last seen diving into the water. The Mennonite team located the remains using a side-scanning sonar and the actual recovery was made by Harrison Swift Water Rescue.

Summers' Fed exit boosts markets
Stocks surged after former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers withdrew from consideration to become head of the Federal Reserve.
Summers had been expected to move aggressively to rein in the Fed's huge economic stimulus program.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 118 points, or 0.8 percent, to close at 15,494 Monday.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose nine points, or 0.6 percent, to 1,697.
The Nasdaq composite fell four points, or 0.1 percent, to 3,717, pulled down by Apple.
President Barack Obama is expected to nominate Ben Bernanke's successor as early as this month.
U.S. factory output climbs 0.7 percent
U.S. factories increased output in August by the most in eight months, helped by a robust month at auto plants. The Federal Reserve says manufacturing production rose 0.7 percent last month from July. That's the biggest increase since December. It followed a 0.4 percent decline in July.
Prices at pump drop to $3.52 per gallon
The average retail price of gasoline fell less than a penny to $3.52 per gallon. The national average has either fallen or remained flat every day this month, and is now lower than it has been since July 10.
The price of gasoline is falling despite relatively high oil prices because of seasonal factors. Gasoline consumption declines in the fall and looser wintertime clean air rules allow refiners to switch blends of gasoline.

LONDON - BAE Systems is dismantling one of its major United Kingdom-based businesses by moving the bulk of the activities to other parts of its Programmes & Support group and selling off the remainder.
Europe's biggest defense contractor told employees at its Integrated System Technologies (Insyte) division on May 7 that the main parts of the business were being divided between its maritime and air sectors.
An air traffic control and electronic warfare training center at Cwmbran in Wales and a printed circuit board and module assembly production operation at Hillend, Scotland, will be sold off, a company spokeswoman confirmed.
At the same time, as part of an internal restructuring, the company is reorganizing its naval activities, bringing the surface warships, nuclear submarine and the naval elements of Insyte into a single U.K. maritime business as part of the wider Programmes & Support operation here.
The individual operations like BAE Surface Ships and Submarine Solutions remain in place. The maritime reorganization follows BAE's purchase last year of VT Group's share of the BVT Surface Ships joint venture.
Together, the Maritime group operations will have an order book in excess of 8 billion pounds ($11.8 billion) with annual revenues of 2.2 billion pounds.
Insyte's break-up follows a months-long strategic review of the division, which last year recorded a turnover of 582 million pounds and an order book of 1.8 billion pounds. Insyte cut 642 jobs in November, citing a weakening workload, leaving more than 3,500 employees.
No further job losses have so far been announced as a result of the reshuffle of business at the Frimley, England-based Insyte operation.
Under the new plan, the naval elements of Insyte become part of the new maritime grouping, with BAE's Military Air Solutions business taking on the air and land intelligence surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance (ISTAR) activities.
The naval business of Insyte covers radars, torpedoes, command-and-control gear and other products. A production and systems integration site at Broad Oak, Portsmouth, will also move into the new maritime operation.
The realigned ISTAR business now coming under the wing of Military Air Solutions is currently part of Insyte's joint command and information systems activities.
A small simulation and training engineering activity at the Hillend site will remain part of BAE when the manufacturing operations are sold off.
The changes are expected to be complete by the end of the year.
Insyte was formed in 2005 following the break-up of the BAE/Finmeccanica joint venture AMS.
Meanwhile, just down the road from BAE's Broad Oak operations, defense industry rival Lockheed Martin UK is also experiencing problems as a result of workload. Lockheed has laid off more than 10 percent of its workers at the headquarters of its integrated systems operation based in Havant. Lockheed officials cut 34 of 300 jobs after losing a bid to provide the British government with a search-and-rescue helicopter service; they also cited competitiveness issues.
The Havant operation also laid off 15 people in the second half of last year.
"An extensive review of the workload for Lockheed Martin UK Integrated Systems has necessitated a reduction to its workforce. Following the recent SAR-H announcement and other business drivers, we determined that a reduction of 34 positions was required. This reduction is necessary at this time to balance the needs of the business with our competitiveness in the marketplace," a company spokesman said.
The job cuts are a reminder that business conditions are tightening here ahead of expected defense budget cuts. Starting in 2011, the 300,000-strong defense industry workforce could begin a steady decline over the next few years.

You are hereHome › Nature of Partnerships › Private
Researchers across U-M recognize and value opportunities to collaborate in their scientific endeavors. The NCRC provides exciting opportunities to enable research collaboration between U-M and private or other not-for-profit entities through co-location or other approaches to enriching interaction.
Companies interested in co-location at the NCRC are reviewed for their potential to add value to U-M research endeavors as well as successfully pursue their own research. The NCRC is seeking to promote research, education and commercialization initiatives in high growth areas of significant academic and economic importance to the University and the state of Michigan.
Companies who are interested in exploring research collaborations at NCRC may contact the Business Engagement Center (BEC) as described below. Representatives from the BEC, U-M Medical School Business Development and the NCRC meet regularly to discuss potential collaborations.

Current Private Partnerships
The following private sector tenants have signed leases and/or moved in to the NCRC:
- BoroPharm, Inc. moved to the NCRC in 2010 as the first onsite public-private partnership tenant. Due to the NCRC's availability of specialized space, BoroPharm was able to remain in Michigan– a win for BoroPharm, the NCRC and the Michigan economy at large. BoroPharm has been successful in utilizing a specialized chemistry building to continue production of chemicals for drug and agricultural companies. BoroPharm has grown out of Michigan State University.
- Lycera, a biopharmaceutical company pioneering innovative approaches to the discovery and development of novel oral medicines for treating autoimmune diseases, moved to the NCRC in November 2011. The move is of great benefit for U-M, as plans have been made for Lycera to share equipment with U-M faculty, including a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer (NMR). Lycera will also support education through the funding of a scientific seminar series and multiple graduate student interns. Lycera has grown out of U-M.

Printer Line... For Years of Trouble Free Service!
Available Options:
Internal Rewinder:
Factory installed. The internal rewinder is a factory-installed
option. This option does an excellent job of rewinding a full roll
of media, up to an 8" OD roll
Standard Media Cutter:
Field installable, ships in a separate box than the printer. The
media cutter is an operator or field installable option that is
attached to the printer with thumbscrews and a cable. It is not
necessary to access the electronics side of the printer to install
the cutter. When a label has been cut, the printer retracts the
label stock before printing the next label to prevent the loss of
top-of-form registration. The cutter is capable of cutting media up
to .01" thick, and the cutter life is designed to exceed 500,000
cuts. The cutter operation is initiated by a DPL command. The
nominal rated print speed of the printer remains the same, but the
overall throughput is reduced due to the cutting and backing-up
Media Cutter Tray: Field
installable. The media cutter tray is a field installable option.
The tray is self-aligning with respect to the printer and does not
require any special tools to install. The tray is capable of
stacking a minimum of 2" (51mm) of cut labels with only the use of
gravity. The tray collects labels with a minimum length of 2" (51mm)
and a maximum label length of 6.25" (159mm)
Label Present Sensor:
Field Installable. When using a present sensor, the printer unwinds
label stock from the supply reel, prints the label and automatically
presents the label out the mouth of the printer. The label present
sensor detects when the label has been removed and the printer then
retracts the label stock before printing the next label, preventing
loss of top-of-form registration.
Peel and Present Sensor
Assembly Plus Internal Rewind: Factory Installed. The peel
and present sensor assembly is designed to allow the printer to
unwind label stock from the supply reel, print the label,
automatically peel the label from its backing, leave the peeled
label at the mouth of the printer, and rewind the waste label
backing on the optional rewinder assemblies. The optional rewinder
must be installed along with the peel and present assembly. The
label present sensor detects when the label has been removed and the
printer then retracts the label stock before printing the next
Internal Ethernet Connectivity:
Field Installable. The internal Ethernet Card is a self-powered
micro print server that plugs into the electronics expansion slot in
the back of the printer. The card is a multi-protocol print server
that provides shared network access to the printer for a variety of
network protocols and operating systems. The device supports the
AppleTalk (Ethertalk), Microsoft LAN Manager, Local Area Transport
(LAT), IPX (Netware), and TCP/IP protocols. The print server can
queue multiple pending jobs and service those jobs in the order that
they are received from the hosts. The print server can
auto-negotiate between 10BASE-T and 100BASE-T media connected to its
RJ45 port.
Twinax/Coax Connectivity:
Field installable. Allows for AS/400 host connectivity. Twinax and
Coax connectivity is provided as an internal option currently based
on I/O Corp. Interface.
RS422 Connectivity:
Field Installable. Allows for serial connection runs up to one mile
in length.

Field Installable. The Flash/Font expansion features two modules
each of 4MB flash memory. The first module supports factory
installed ILPC, Kanji, or Simplified Chinese font sets. The second
module features 4MB of addressable flash program memory that will
support downloadable AGFA scalable fonts, downloadable TrueType
fonts, graphics, and label formats.
International Language Print
Capability: Field Installable. ILPC consists of font/flash
expansion board, plus one of the following font selections: CG-Times
(Western European and CG Triumvirate Bold Condensed Scalable Font),
Kanji Gothic B Scalable Font, Simplified Chinese GB Scalable Font
I/O Expansion Kit: Field
Installable. Upon release, the I/O expansion kit will consist of
three options. At its most basic, the I/O expansion option will
install into the electronic option cage in the back of the printer
and support a real time clock (RTC) and a 9 pin DIN general purpose
I/O (GPIO) interface. A second board will support RTC, GPIO and 8MB
of addressable flash program memory that will support ILPC fonts,
downloadable AGFA scalable fonts, downloadable TrueType fonts,
graphics, and a label formats. A third board will include all of the
above, plus support for PCMCIA type I and II PC cards.

In today's Personal Journal, Ray A. Smith writes about fur-accented sleeves on the runways, from Louis Vuitton and Burberry to Rag & Bone.
Pastels have been out for everyone but babies for quite a number of years. But designers in the US and Europe decreed loudly that they're back for Spring 2012. From Versace to Louis Vuitton and Ralph Lauren, pale blues, yellow, and green are in.
Jazz-age inspired flapper dresses were all the rage during New York Fashion Week—from the runways of Marc Jacobs and Thom Browne to Tory Burch. As London Fashion Week continues, designer Mark Fast presented his own fringed dresses and wavy bobs at Somerset House today.
This season, runways are filled with mixed-media collections as designers play with contrasting textures and patterns. Oftentimes, the mixtures were kept in the same color palate — adding a sophisticated edge to the looks without becoming too frenzied.
Leather on wool boucle, fur on transparent plastic, glitter on chiffon were just some of the material combinations. Here are some mixed-media looks from Milan, London and New York.
Heard on the Runway provides news about the fashion and retail worlds, as well as fresh analysis and dispatches from the bi-annual fashion shows in New York, Milan and Paris. For complete style coverage, go to WSJ.com/Fashion.

I am trying to recall how I ended up getting s#$%faced with a Beatle, when it dawns on me that it wasn't Ringo at all, but Howard!
Is it just me or does Howard Lindzon remind you of Ringo Starr?

Microsoft demos multi-touch Sphere
updated 08:25 am EDT, Tue July 29, 2008
MS Sphere Multi Touch
Microsoft today provided a promised demo of Sphere, its next-generation multi-touch device. The device expands on the lessons learned from the Surface table and shows how future electronics could apply complex finger input to curved surfaces. In addition to altering the picture to ensure it displays properly on the ball-shaped screen, Microsoft has also switched to an infrared sensor system at the center that registers multiple fingers and palms regardless of their position on the sphere.
The demonstrator model primarily relies on modified versions of software from Surface to show the differences. Users can press a palm against the surface to send photos across to the opposite side of the sphere in the photo manipulation software, while the new hardware can also rotate freely on the horizontal axis and gives the paint program the option of creating pottery-like patterns by holding fingers against the screen while it spins.
Microsoft plans a more formal rollout today but considers Sphere a proof of concept rather than a prototype for a future product, as was the case with last year's Surface introduction. The Windows developer expects a consumer version of a Surface-related product within a few years, but hasn't said whether it will borrow any technology from Sphere to create the finished product.

They need to punish these companies who are cutting all employee hours to part time. It is absolutely rediculous that a company would create a humanitarian disaster in order to get around the cost of business. None of the companies who announced they would hire this way are hurting financially. Yet, they want to hurt their employees financially? Part time work means more people go on government aid, in affect, the government is subsidizing these companies.
HR 4872-5 Clearly states that the part time employees hours must be used to determine the full time employee count. Cutting employee hours (and hiring another part time employee) saves the company NOTHING. There are penalties already set up for those that try to get around the requirement by doing this.
@ steve
The challenge is enforcement. How many "insurance poilce" will it take - and at what cost - to insure compliance?
It sounds like a way to circumvent the penalties and to stick it to the worker yet again. Why change from the 30 to a 40 hr requirement if not to avoid providing healthcare. If anything, it should be based on headcount period not some equation of FTE.

Amazon.com is now offering loans to its small business sellers, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Through the new program, called Amazon Lending, the online giant has sent many of its Amazon Marketplace merchants offers for small business loans, which will come through Amazon Capital Services, Inc. The service is an alternative source of financing for Amazon sellers who can't obtain loans through banks and traditional lenders.
"Some of these businesses are only constrained by cash flow," Scot Wingo, chief executive of e-commerce advisory firm ChannelAdvisor, told Reuters. "These spot loans will help these folks grow by getting them extra cash to buy more product."
An Amazon spokesman declined to tell The Journal exactly how many businesses were offered the service. However, the newspaper reports that loans for qualified businesses came with an interest rates ranging from less than 1 percent from 13.9 percent. Wingo told Reuters that some companies are receiving loans as a large as $800,000.
According to Reuters, Amazon's prequalifying offers vary depending on how strong the particular merchant's sales are. The Journal says that once an offer is accepted, Amazon will have the money in the seller's account in about five businesses days, according to a merchant e-mail offer they obtained.
Sales from small business sellers comprised between nine and 12 percent of Amazon's $48 billion in revenue last year, according to The Journal. And with Amazon taking a six to 15 percent cut on all marketplace transactions, the company could benefit from helping their merchants purchase--and then sell--a larger volume of inventory.
"This is definitely cheaper than credit cards and faster and easier than banks, so may fill a big hole for sellers," Wingo told Reuters.

Raza Jaffrey stars as Dev, Karen's (Katharine McPhee) loving and supportive boyfriend, in TV3's Smash. But ambition can strain even the perfect relationship, as Dev's duties in the New York City mayor's office threaten to clash with Karen's Broadway aspirations.
After graduating from the Old Vic, Jaffrey worked extensively on stage, appearing in "Romeo and Juliet" (Leicester Haymarket), "Cyrano de Bergerac" (The Theatre Royal Northampton and Tour), "East Is East" (Oldham Coliseum) and "14 Songs 2 Weddings and a Funeral" (Lyric Hammersmith, Birmingham Rep and Tour).
Jaffrey's break came in 2001 when he was cast as Sky in the musical "Mamma Mia!" at the Prince Edward Theatre in London, directed by Phyllida Lloyd. From there, he went on to land the leading role in Andrew Lloyd Webber's production of A.R. Rahman's "Bombay Dreams," directed by Steven Pimlott, at the Apollo Theatre in London, in which the BBC hailed him as "the most exciting new leading man to emerge in a London musical since Hugh Jackman became an overnight star in the National Theatre production of 'Oklahoma.'"
After leaving "Bombay Dreams," Jaffrey appeared in "M.I.T.: Murder Investigation Team," "Dirty War," and the three-part BBC drama series "Life Isn't All Ha Ha Hee Hee." In 2005, he began work on the spy drama series "Spooks/MI-5" as Agent Zafar Younis, before starring in the drama series "Mistresses" and "Sharpe's Peril" with Sean Bean. He then went on to star opposite Ashley Jensen as the cheating boyfriend in the comedy "Accidental Farmer." Most recently, he appeared as the French super-villain Cain in the "The Cape."
His feature film credits include "Infinite Justice," for which he won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Kara Film Festival, and "The Crew" and "Harry Brown" with Michael Caine, David Cronenberg's "Eastern Promises" and "Sex and the City 2."

As I've told you before, I am a big fan of one-layer cakes. Elaborately frosted, tiered cakes are not my favorite things to make. Luckily, you don't need to make that kind of effort to make a beautiful cake.
I've had Texas Sheet Cakes before, but they've always been chocolate. This one, however, is all about peanut butter. If you love peanut butter like I do, you'll be happy to know that there is peanut butter in both the cake and the icing.
Of course, it's hard to resist adding a little chocolate to anything peanut butter. So, a little chopped chocolate on top sweetens things up a bit. For peanut butter purists, just leave off the garnish or double up on the chopped peanuts. Chopped peanut butter cups would be fabulous, too.
This sheet cake is a great cake for feeding a crowd. It's a thin cake, but it's big on flavor. You'll have plenty to go around.
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon milk
- 16 ounces confectioners sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup coarsely chopped peanuts
- 1/3 cup coarsely chopped milk chocolate
To make the cake:
Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 15"x 10" jellyroll pan.
Whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
Place butter, water, and peanut butter in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture boils. Add to flour mixture, and mix until combined.
Combine buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla. Stir into cake mixture, mixing well.
Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake 25-28 minutes, or until edges are browned and a pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
To make the icing:
Place butter, peanut butter, and milk in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture boils.
Remove from heat. Stir in confectioners sugar and vanilla until smooth and spreadable.
Pour icing over top of warm cake and spread evenly. Garnish, if desired, with peanuts and chocolate.*
*I suggest that you add the garnish while the icing is still a bit warm so that the garnish will stick to the icing better as it sets.

Can I bake this in a 9×13 pan do you think? I don't have a 10×15.
Looks lovely!! We love peanut butter anything!!
*claps* yayy! I love any pb/chocolate combo!
Yummm I bet this would be great with a chocolate ganache!
This looks great!
Texas sheet cake has always been a favorite but to make it a peanut butter one…. Nothing could be more perfect! This time I will skip the choc and go pure peanut butter, too. My son would love this, so I will send him the recipe as well.
I bet this is tasty. I love a sheet cake for a crowd!
Yummy! I have never had Texas Sheet Cake, but I adore anything peanut butter chocolate- so I'm sure I would love this.
Honestly, I'd have this peanut butter cake over a chocolate cake any day!
I love one layer cakes. So much easier! This cake looks SO good. I can almost smell it!
This is definitely a keeper, good for so many summer bbq's!
Do you think that I could successfully cut this recipe in half? I don't need a serve a crowd, but this cake sounds too delicious to pass up! What size pan do you suggest?
I love sheet cakes and this ones flavours sound really good!
Um how did I miss this recipe from you?! I love sheet cakes as well because you can whip them up in very little time and uses up ingredients you have laying around (like my bananas. Ooo banana peanut butter cake…)

Wednesday, November 17, 2010
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
LEESBURG, Ga. -- Lee County Commissioners started the process Tuesday of putting together a final special-purpose local-option sales tax projects list that would be presented to county voters in a March 15 referendum.
At a special work session called to discuss SPLOST VI, which would run from Oct. 1, 2013 to Sept. 30, 2019 after the current SPLOST expires, commissioners chipped away at an $18.2 million wish list compiled by interim Administrator Al Crace and Finance Director Heather Kittrell.
"This is just something for you guys to work from," Crace told commissioners before running through the projects list. "Somebody had to create a starting point, and this takes into account the items that have been discussed."
Crace's list, which is based on projected countywide SPLOST collections of $21.1 million over the six years of the special tax, included funding for general obligation debt ($2 million); public safety needs ($3.2 million); courthouse renovations ($750,000); water/sewer/stormwater projects ($4.6 million); roads, streets and bridges ($5.4 million); library ($1.75 million); Public Works equipment ($250,000), and public facilities ($247,000).
Commissioner Bill Williams immediately called for the $2 million in general obligation debt to be removed from the list.
"That debt was carried over from SPLOST IV to SPLOST V, and now we're talking about carrying it over again to SPLOST VI ... uh-uh," Williams, a CPA, said. "I want to take a look again at the tax projections for the remainder of SPLOST V, but I'm pretty sure we're going to be able to pay off that debt in V.
"I want to get us out of debt; that's our first priority."
Commissioner Rick Muggridge suggested, after Williams expressed concern that the $4,375,000 on the list for water/sewer was too high, that that amount be cut to $2 million and the $4,375,000 (from general obligation debt and sewer/water) freed up be used for roads, streets and bridges.
Muggridge also said he'd like to see funds added for recreation facilities improvements.
"I know times are tight, but if collections surpass the $18.1 million (projected), I'd like to see us expand our recreation facilities," he said. "Our Parks and Recreation staff is stretched to the limit now."
Commissioner Dennis Roland said he'd prefer a new fire station be built on State Highway 32.
When Commission Chairman Ed Duffy mentioned the cost of building and operating such a facility might be beyond the scope of the SPLOST and Muggridge suggested that a new station did not follow the county's long-range expansion plan, Roland suggested imposing a fire tax on county citizens whose ISO ratings allowed them to secure property insurance at a lower rate.
"I don't think anyone wants to raise taxes," Duffy said.
"Well, we're talking about building a library/conference center that I haven't heard anybody speak in favor of except for four members of this board," Roland said. "I'm just saying that if we spend our money wisely, we can do the things that need to be done in the county."
Before the discussion of SPLOST VI, Crace gave a history of the special 1 percent tax to the commission. A brief rundown of SPLOST in Lee County shows:
- SPLOST I (April 1, 1990-March 31, 1994) $1,814,031; referendum passed Jan. 9, 1990 by a 78 percent favorable vote.
- SPLOST II (April 1, 1994-March 31, 1999) $4,533,234; referendum passed Nov. 2, 1993 by a 77 percent favorable vote.
- SPLOST III (April 1, 1999-March 31, 2004) $6,177,758; referendum passed Nov. 3, 1998 by a 56 percent favorable vote.
- SPLOST IV (Oct. 1, 2002-Sept. 30, 2007) $16,758,603; referendum passed March 19, 2002 by a 90 percent favorable vote.
- SPLOST V (Oct. 1, 2007-current, to run through Sept. 30, 2013) $21,000,000 (projected); referendum passed March 20, 2007 by an 88 percent favorable vote.
Crace said all SPLOST I, II and III projects had been completed and that only the courthouse renovations project from SPLOST IV was still under consideration. He said projects from SPLOST V that had not been completed because tax revenues dropped significantly over the last several months would "have to be addressed" by the board.
"We'll need the county attorney here for clarification on legal matters, but my understanding of the law is that because the projects were listed on a referendum, you can't abandon them," Crace said. "Certainly you can resize them if a good-faith effort is made to address each project."
The commission plans to finalize its wish list at a Dec. 7 meeting so that County Attorney Jimmy Skipper will have time to draw up a referendum for an approved projects list and an intergovernmental agreement with the municipalities of Leesburg and Smithville on the dispersement of the SPLOST funds.
Asked after the meeting if he was aware of any reluctance from either Smithville or Leesburg officials to approve the agreement, Crace said he knew of none.
"Everyone's been cooperative throughout the process," he said. "No one has indicated to me that there is a problem. Economic facts are economic facts."

This sounds straight out of Final Destination script but alas this turned out to be real for the Dutch passenger. Cor Pan, a Dutch passenger travelling in the ill-fated Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 posted a picture of the airlines before boarding the flight at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, on his Facebook page with caption, "'Mocht hij verdwijnen , zo ziet hij d'r uit' that when translated into English means 'In case it goes missing, here is what it looks like'. The post by Pan has been shared 11,000 times on Facebook. The Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 was shot down by pro-Russian separatists in Eastern Ukraine on Thursday.
Cor Pan was one of the 298 passengers flying on the MH17 from Amsterdam to Kuala Lampur. The Malaysia Airlines MH17, Boeing 777 had no survivors left and looks like the joke posted by Pan turned out to be the worst truth ever seen. This is second Malaysian Flight being tragically lost just after the loss of Malaysian Airline flight MH370.
It looked like Pan posted the joke in reference to the sudden disappearance of MH370 from the horizon but would not have thought in his wildest dreams of becoming a part of such horrifying death. Most of the passengers on board were Dutch nationals.
The shooting down of Malaysian Flight MH17, a Boeing 777-200, using the BUK Missile by the separatists brought the nightmarish memories of the disappearance of Flight MH370. The case of MH370 remains to be one of the biggest aviation mysteries in the history.

Fox Chapel tops Hempfield; falls short against North Allegheny
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Coach Zach Skrinjar's Fox Chapel boys varsity basketball team opened the first round of the WPIAL Class AAAA playoffs on Feb. 20 with a 51-43 victory over Hempfield.
Brian Papich led the Foxes with 23 points.
"It was nice to get that first win," Skrinjar said. "The keys to the game were that we did a good job of being patient on offense, boxing out and not allowing second shots.
"Brian also played a key role on both ends of the court, leading us in scoring as well as holding their leading scorer to five points in the second half."
Skrinjar said several other players were also key contributors.
"We had guys like Billy Urso and Connor picking up the slack and we needed that," Skrinjar said. "Matt (D'Amico) didn't light up the scoreboard but he contributed in other ways. It was again a total team effort to pull out a big playoff victory.
"It's nice to have a pair of guys like Matt and Brian who can carry the load. Brian knew he had to pick up his game and he did."
That win moved the Foxes into the quarterfinals against No. 2 seed North Allegheny in a game played on Saturday at North Hills High School.
The game was close throughout and the Foxes trailed by 52-51 entering the fourth quarter before the Tigers blitzed the them 27-10 to move on to the semifinals with a 79-61 victory.
"Going into the game, we knew we had to contain their dribble-drive offense, close out on their shooters and contest all their shots," Skrinjar said. "We also felt we would have to limit our turnovers and we didn't do too well. We had 13 turnovers.
"In that fourth quarter, we were doing a lot of uncharacteristic things that we weren't doing the first three quarters. I don't know if fatigue was a factor but give North Allegheny credit. They did what they had to do to win the game. Now, we will play the waiting game."
The Foxes will qualify for the PIAA playoffs if North Allegheny wins the WPIAL title.
