EMI Health is a top-ranked PPO in the state of Utah, according to the results of the Consumer Assessment of Health Plans Survey (CAHPS), released as part of the Utah Department of Health's 2011 Health Plan Satisfaction Report.
Conducted by DataStat Inc., an independent survey firm that examines all major health plans in Utah, the CAHPS survey measures member attitudes about the health care and services they received from their health plan during 2011.
According to the results, EMI Health respondents gave the company high marks in three main categories: satisfaction with the health plan, satisfaction with the health care received and satisfaction with doctors available through the health plan. The results of this independent survey are very similar to the high levels of satisfaction EMI Health finds in its own annual member survey.
"The results confirm something we've prided ourselves on for years: delivering top-notch service and medical networks to our members, without sacrificing value or charging outrageous rates," said Steve Morrison, CEO, EMI Health. "Of course, it is wonderful to have a third-party confirm this, and we will continue to meet and exceed our members' expectations wherever possible."
The full CAHPS survey results and methodology, as well as the 2011 Health Plan Satisfaction Report, are available on the Utah Department of Health's website, or by following this link: health.utah.gov/myhealthcare/reports/cahps/2011.
EMI Health has been providing health care and other similar services to Utah and the surrounding areas since 1935.

row over mining rights that threatens to delay billions of
dollars in debt relief.
The event, to be attended by U.N. Secretary-General Ban
Ki-moon and Albert II, king of former colonial power Belgium,
also drew fire from rights groups who cited growing concerns
over human rights abuses in the central African state.
Clouds darken Congo's 50th independence jubilee
KINSHASA, June 28 (Reuters) – President Joseph Kabila wants
to use Wednesday's independence jubilee to buff up Congo's
troubled image, but armed rebellions, widespread graft and
concerns over rights abuses are dampening the party mood.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Albert II, king of
the former colonial power, Belgium, will attend 50th anniversary
celebrations for which Congo's capital Kinshasa is being given a
last-minute makeover.
Congo strips Tullow of oil block rights -documents
LONDON, June 24 (Reuters) – Democratic Republic of Congo has
stripped British energy firm Tullow (TLW.L: Quote, Profile, Research) of its rights to
develop two oil blocks on Lake Albert, according to documents

which straddles the Congo-Uganda frontier.
U.N. peacekeepers start Congo withdrawal
KISANGANI, Congo (Reuters) – U.N. peacekeepers began leaving the Democratic Republic of Congo on Wednesday as part of a small but symbolic troop reduction before the 50th anniversary of the country's independence on June 30.
More than 100 of a 458-strong battalion of Senegalese troops stationed in the east of the country with the U.N. mission MONUC were the first to leave after a 15-month tour, with the rest due to follow by the end of the month.
Congo mining contract proposes 35 pct state share
KINSHASA, June 14 (Reuters) – The mines ministry in the
Democratic Republic of Congo says it wants state-owned mining
firms to hold a 35 percent stake in all future mining joint
ventures, in contrast to a wide range of shareholdings in
existing ventures.
A new proposed contract, written in May and awaiting
government approval, will serve as a basis for negotiation, said
Valery Mukasa, interim chief of staff at the Ministry of Mines.
Activist death irks Congo before independence fest
KINSHASA (Reuters) – The mysterious death of Democratic Republic of Congo's top rights activist threatens to undermine President Joseph Kabila's attempt to draw a line under the nation's troubled past with a lavish independence jubilee.
Floribert Chebeya, who has faced past harassment for work against arbitrary killings and torture of political dissidents, was found dead in his car two weeks ago after being summoned to meet the chief of the national police.
Congo's leading human rights defender found dead
KINSHASA (Reuters) – A leading human rights activist in Democratic Republic of Congo was found dead on the outskirts of the capital, Amnesty International and a Kinshasa police official said on Wednesday.

Congo's copperbelt wants to recover "illegal" taxes
LUBUMBASHI, Democratic Republic of Congo, May 24 (Reuters) –
Mining firms in Congo's copperbelt say they will withhold
millions of dollars of end-of-year tax payments to the
government this year in a row over export levies.
Katanga, Congo's southern mining province, imposed a $60 per
tonne tax on semi-finished product exports, which include the
copper concentrate from which the metal is derived, following
negotiations to overturn a ban on such shipments announced by
national government in April.
First Quantum ready for arbitration over Congo mines
LUBUMBASHI, Democratic Republic of Congo, May 24 (Reuters) –
Canada-based mining group First Quantum Minerals Ltd <FM.TO> is
ready to seek international arbitration over a move by a court
in Democratic Republic of Congo to annul its rights to two mines

Kolwezi mining project.

Animals on euthanization list rescued from shelter
BATON ROUGE- A dozen dogs and two dozen cats on the list to be euthanized this morning were saved from the East Baton Rouge Animal Shelter.
Companion Animal Alliance created the Facebook page Last Minute Hope for Baton Rouge Animals where pictures of animals on the "Last Chance List" are posted.
"We had an amazing response from the community through the Facebook page. People were coming up and wanting to help us and asking which animals they could foster," Lauren Dooley, Director of Development at Companion Animal Alliance, said.
Some animals were adopted, others went to local rescue organizations and many were placed in foster homes. But just as quickly as one kennel is emptied, another is filled.
"We still have many more [animals] that need homes. There will be another list. We always have animals coming in so we have to continue to get support from the community to help them move them out alive," Dooley said.
The shelter is open Sunday-Friday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. It's located at 2680 Progress Road near the Baton Rouge Metro Airport.
The adoption fee is $60 and includes spay or neuter, vaccinations, micro-chipping, pet insurance and heartworm testing.

For years, South Carolina has been fighting national media attention that tended to show the state as home to rednecks and buffoons.
Now, I see we have to deal with image sabotage by the Miss South Carolina pageant, an organization created to promote a positive image of the state. Apparently Executive Director Ashley Bird, isn't aware that a primary element of her very job is to promote, not degrade, the state.

USDA: Winter wheat seen up 17% from '07
Wheat farmers, some of whom had faced years of low market prices and/or poor growing conditions, finally caught a break last year.
During and after the 2007 harvest, the winter wheat market started trending upward, making for lots of sales and talk of more acres in 2008. Then, as planting began, so did a climb in the corn market, sparking a battle for acres between the two suddenly high-income-potential crops.
On Friday, USDA released numbers that indicate wheat held its own in the acreage fight. Winter wheat production is pegged at 1.78 billion bushels, up 17% from last year, according to Friday's USDA Crop Production report. Based on the government's projections, yields are pegged at 44.3 bushels per acre, also up from last year to the tune of 2.1 bushels per acre.
Similar numbers were found in this week's Wheat Quality Council (WQC) Kansas wheat tour. Tour participants pegged the average yield there at 43.3 bushels per acre, 2.3 bushels higher than the '07 estimate.
Friday's USDA report shows a five-percent jump in hard red winter wheat production, to 1.01 billion bushels. White wheat is projected up 10% from last year at 215 million bushels. Soft red production saw a mammoth boost in projected bushels: This year's tally of 551 million bushels is 54% higher than a year ago.
While most numbers are higher for this year's crop, the total bushel tally for Kansas, according to WQC tour participants this week, is lower than '07. But, according to Kansas City Board of Trade vice president Shelia Summers, who accompanied the WQC Kansas tour this week, the bushel projections shouldn't be seen as bulletproof at this point in the season. Too many weather variables remain.
"Participants in the tour made individual estimates on the total size of the crop, with the weighted average at 379.11 million bushels. Last year's final estimate for the tour was 392.74 million bushels," Summers says. "Emphasis was placed on the fact that this is what the current crop looks like at this given point in time. Weather is a major factor in the outcome of this year's crop."

So I have been trying to collect together a few sets or series of posts that I have done on this blog around various topics or themes that have come up. A "Best of" collection. So far, I we have Derrida and Heidegger. Today, Freud and Psychoanalysis. In the future, we'll probably have Merleau-Ponty and Phenomenology. Look for them on the sidebar, where I'll put a more permanent link to the sets. Now, on to Freud:
Freud, philology, associations: I try to read an interesting remark in The Joke and its Relation to the Unconscious, and reflect on the difference between psychoanalysis and philology.
Anticipated normal path of development: I look closely at a crucial passage in the Schreber case that has been misread, making Freud's theories of development much more normative (in one respect) than they really are. Such cheap points against Freud usually are trying to push you into a false choice: either Freud is normative or he isn't. If you want to defend Freud against the sciolism (to borrow a great word of Coleridge's), you have to prove the impossible. For of course Freud is going to give you some sort of normativity. The real issue is where exactly he is normative--and it usually isn't where you expect.
Vicissitudes: A little reflection on this interesting Freudian (or, rather, Stracheyian) word.
Drives and primal repression: My attempt to work through the two theoretical essays "Instincts and the Vicissitudes" and "Repression."
Looking at drives: Basically, how drives work. I should say, though, Freudian drives, which are odd things.
Lacan and repetition: My reading of Lacan's "Tuchê and automaton."
Place, or/of the fetish: the beginning of a paper on "Fetishism," the splitting of the ego, and place in Freud and psychoanalysis.

Why do young black males suffer unequal harm from minimum wage increases? Even and Macpherson say that they're more likely to be employed in low-skilled jobs in eating and drinking establishments. These are businesses with narrow profit margins and are more adversely affected by increases in minimum wage increases. For 16-to-24-year-old men without a high school diploma, 25 percent of whites and 31 percent of blacks work at an eating and drinking establishment. Compounding the discriminatory burden of minimum wages, not discussed by the authors, are the significant educational achievement differences between blacks and whites.
The best way to sabotage chances for upward mobility of a youngster from a single-parent household, who resides in a violent slum and has attended poor-quality schools is to make it unprofitable for any employer to hire him. The way to accomplish that is to mandate an employer to pay such a person a wage that exceeds his skill level.
Imagine that a worker's skill level is such that he can only contribute $5 worth of value per hour to the employer's output, but the employer must pay him a minimum wage of $7.25 per hour, plus mandated fringes such as Social Security, unemployment compensation and health insurance. To hire such a worker would be a losing economic proposition. If the employer could pay that low-skilled worker the value of his skills, he would at least have a job and a chance to upgrade his skill and earn more in the future.
Minimum wage laws have massive political support, including that of black politicians. That means that many young black males will remain a part of America's permanent underclass with crime, drugs and prison as their future.

Download Any App at the Apple Store
I realized, while I was browsing on an iPad waiting on repairs, that there is a major opportunity available that Apple isn't taking advantage of in their stores. That is the ability for someone to pick up an iDevice on display at an Apple Store and download any app…
It seems very simple, but as a customer I felt like downloading an app was somehow discouraged. This is something Apple should actually encourage. If I couldn't experiment with browsing the App Store and physically feel what it was like to install an app, how likely was I to do this on my own personal device at home? Secondly, if someone already owns an iDevice, what reason do they have to pick up a display model in the Apple Store, or even visit the Apple Store aside from repairs etc? This simple thing would encourage someone to go back to the Apple Store, after they have purchased their device, just to download and try any app they found on the App Store.
Apple loves to put their products in peoples hands as a way for them to feel the experience before they buy. I have also heard people say "there should be a way to download apps as a 'trial' before they purchase."
As a developer, I know the whole process of apps being tied to someones Apple ID, the developer agreement, and "the way things have always been" suggests that this can't be changed. I think that 'trial' versions of apps will never work… but within the Apple Store this is a very real possibility, and a major marketing opportunity that can't be missed.

The AT&T HTC One Mini stuffs plenty of features into a compact design with a nice price, but its reception isn't up to snuff.Read the full review →
The HTC One mini brings a lot to the party. It looks good, it sounds good and it performs well enough in everyday tasks. It's a great mid-range device, with an experience that's very much the same as the larger HTC One.Read the full review →
If you can't quite justify the high-end price of the One, the One mini is a very worthy compromise.Read the full review →
This machine takes everything that was great about the HTC One and jams it into a smaller package.Read the full review →
Its performance is decent but not spectacular, and the addition of a layer of plastic has removed some of the original's chic. But this is a very strong handset at a decent price. Well worth a look.Read the full review →
For $100 less than the original One, you can have much of HTC's design DNA. Just get ready to sacrifice amenities and performance.Read the full review →
The HTC One Mini has a brilliant screen and delivers a good performance despite the drop down in specs making it a 4.3-inch Android smartphone that deserves your attention.Read the full review →
The HTC One Mini has stayed true to the spirit of the HTC One name, bringing combination of excellent build quality and a gorgeous screen, not to mention speedy, well-designed software that matches almost every feature of the larger One.Read the full review →
The HTC One mini sets a great example for how a more compact, cheaper version of an annual flagship should be done. HTC kept the same stellar and recognizable design the One has, and didn't leave out any of the unique features like the best phone speakers or the UltraPixel camera.Read the full review →
It's about as good-looking and well-built as the iPhone 5, against which it's very serious competition. It holds up well against other mainstream attention-getters like the Samsung Galaxy S4 and Sony Xperia Z. In fact, it's really only beaten by HTC.Read the full review →
With brushed aluminium, a sleek design, a fantastic screen, a fluid interface and better handling than its big brother, the HTC One Mini is no marketing stunt; it's a quality mobile.Read the full review →
A great-looking phone with a fantastic screen and smooth operating system. An Android handset with few compromises.Read the full review →
The HTC One Mini has its flaws, including the disappointing Ultrapixel camera and its limited internal storage. However, the phone shows how mid-range smartphones should be done, and is undoubtedly one of the best phones on the market at this price point.Read the full review →
The HTC One is a very nice mid-range smartphone. The phone cuts as few corners as humanly possible in its endeavour to offer users several of the full-sized One's strengths, including Ultrapixels and Zoe.Read the full review →
First Looks
While it's not going to be a smaller phone with flagship status, it's still a decent compromise for folks who don't want to sacrifice performance in favor of size -- that is, as decent as we've seen these days.Read the full preview →
The best thing about the mini, of course, is its size. The smaller device fits perfectly into my hand, and makes an even better one-handed phone than the One does.Read the full preview →
It was very comfortable to use and it's just a little bit bigger than an iPhone 5. Would we change to it from an HTC One? No. But our small-handed friends could certainly do much worse.Read the full preview →
The One Mini also sees some of its specs reduced. That starts with its 4.3-inch display, which drops down from the 1080p resolution found on the full-sized One to 720p. During our brief hands-on, however, we didn't notice any discernible difference in the One Mini's overall image quality.Read the full preview →
I'm waiting to get my hands on some final hardware before passing judgment, but so far the One mini seems like a worthy little brother to one of the great Android devices of our time.Read the full preview →
I'm glad to see the new HTC One Mini hit the scene, since it looks to pack many of the HTC One's premium features and its design into a smaller, more manageable size.Read the full preview →
Of course, HTC has diluted the specs somewhat, though the One mini still feels swift, with only minimal slow-down when processing the Zoe highlight reels.Read the full preview →
It may sit further down the scale, but there hasn't been a compromise when it comes to the construction of this handset. It feels solid, it has a premium feel, it's a device that's almost as good looking as its brother.Read the full preview →
The new HTC One mini is a compact version of the flagship HTC One. It keeps a very similar look and feel and promises an almost identical user experience, but HTC has made some compromises to keep the size down.Read the full preview →
First, the screen, which looks as good as any 4.3-inch panel out there. And second, the device's build quality — the One Mini looks good and feels sturdy — though it's bested by the full-sized one in this area.Read the full preview →
From what we can gather thus far in our short time checking it out, the HTC One mini seems like a wonderful addition to the family, which gives consumers just another option in what to pick up.Read the full preview →
The goal of the HTC One mini is to bring the high-end user experience of the original HTC One to a much larger market. This is never easy to do this, but I've been impressed by how HTC managed to optimize the cost structure, without proportionally altering the original experience.Read the full preview →
16GB of built-in memory (not expandable), LTE, NFC and all that jazz. Overall, we liked it. It was very comfortable to use and it's just a little bit bigger than an iPhone 5. Would we change to it from an HTC One? No.Read the full preview →
If you're not a fan of the HTC One for price alone, then the One Mini is definitely going to fill your needs. It seems a little expensive given the compromises on offer...Read the full preview →
It's hard not to like the HTC One Mini. Although we weren't too fond of the handset's plastic edging or Ultrapixel camera technology, the handset offers a smaller, more manageable version of the HTC One flagship smartphone at a discounted price.Read the full preview →
In terms of performance, I found that despite its significantly less powerful processor, the One mini was nearly as spry as the flagship model when performing many common tasks.Read the full preview →
Ultimately, and unsurprisingly, if you like the HTC One but thought it was a bit large then the Mini will likely be right up your street, but if you didn't like the camera on the HTC One then you'll be disappointed here.Read the full preview →
We're definitely super, super excited for it to hit the market, though, especially because it feels so similar to the HTC One but in a smaller more pocketable form factor.Read the full preview →
The HTC One Mini offers almost the same level of premium build quality found in the HTC One, despite the plastic banding. While it lacks a few features like NFC and the IR blaster, it keeps the core One experience thanks to Sense 5, the same Ultrapixel camera and front-facing speakers.Read the full preview →
The simplest way to think of of the One mini is that it is essentially the One taken down a notch. It has a smaller, lower resolution display, a slower processor, less RAM, a smaller battery, and even a slightly less premium design (the white plastic band around the edges just isn't as nice)....Read the full review →
I really regret getting this phone, starting from the first day when it developed cracks on the sides. I've never seen a phone crack in these spots. Tried to get support from HTC and they wanted over $100 and two weeks to fix it. Not worth it to repair since the phone was incredibly laggy and...Read the full review →

Comments, questions and tips
I used savoy cabbage and added a red onion, garlic and a red pepper to the stir fry. I was only cooking for two, but used the full amount of the sauce as in the recipe, marinated the pork then cooked on the hob for 20 minutes, kept them warm and added the rest of the marinade to the pan and brought it to the boil and then drizzled this delicious sauce over the mixed noodles and stir fry and topped it with the chops. Was absolutely delicious.
I agree that if you grill the pork in the grill rather than using a grill pan on the hob it takes about 20 mins but is really succulent. I also left the meat in the marinade for about 10 mins before cooking and then added what was left of the marinade to the noodles and pak choi half way through cooking noodles. Thanks to everyones suggestions, it was excellent!
Sounds very similar to what I did a few days ago.
Put smooth mustard, tabasco sauce, runny honey, juice from a lime, then the rest of the ime put into the marinade, whatever herbs and seasonings you like. Stirred it well, then added garlic cloves, quartered shallots, and a wedged apple.
Pork steaks - left to marinade - turned them a few times.
Then the whole dish into the preheated oven (gas 4) for maybe 20 minute., depending on how thick the steaks are.

Is Your China Venture Recession-proof?
8:42 AM MDT | March 11, 2009 | By SIGMUND FLOYD
Sigmund Floyd is President of Valushar, a management consultancy focusing on strategy and tactics for multinational companies operating in
A new era has arrived. Despite the enormity of the global crisis,
First, the assumptions inherent in the North American business model must be thoroughly aired and challenged. Success or failure in the domestic market often hinges on the ability to make deep changes in fundamental thinking. In general, it is important to target market niches – a "one size fits all" approach is no more likely to work in
It is better to focus on several strategic accounts than to use a shotgun approach. Chinese companies are naturally mainly interested in products and technology that are not available from Chinese suppliers – technological products and know-how should be emphasized, not me-too products. Once key accounts have been identified, work closely with key them and develop products and services tailored to their needs.
While it may sound obvious, products and services for the Chinese market are needed at Chinese price points. R&D must be tasked with developing products at a realistic price target, while maintaining a performance profile that comfortably exceeds that of local competition. This can be greatly facilitated by having an R&D presence in
Unfortunately, consistent application of Western "best manufacturing practices" like Six Sigma or ISO certification or even Lean, does not guarantee success in the domestic market. What counts to be successful are two things: flexibility, and low cost. It is important to keep working capital low, which means that there must be greater emphasis on short run make-to-order with fast turn-around times. In a surplus capacity situation, this is a realizable objective provided production staffing has not been overly cut back.
Environmental, health and safety issues deserve special mention. The central government, local governments, Chinese employees and the general public have become deeply concerned over the toll taken on the environment by indiscriminate development. Ensure your EHS efforts in
Less demand in the short term can mean it is an excellent time to develop the capabilities of local staff. This does not mean however that wholesale elimination of experienced expatriate personnel is the right thing to do. Most Chinese local managers have come of age in an environment where the "R-word" was not even in the national lexicon. They have little concept of what it means to downsize an operation or stabilize losses. It is not uncommon for some local staff to have an entitlement mentality which must be challenged, while at the same time coaching them to take on more proactive leadership.
While not necessarily loyal to employers themselves, Chinese employees tend to value organizational stability more than

A recently released NYT bestseller, The Emperor of Ocean Park has caused a bit of a stir. In fine Yale Free Press fashion, allow me to tell you what side of the stir you should find yourself on. I will accomplish this by masking my controversial but oh-so-right arguments with wry humor, distracting you while subtly infiltrating your opinions with my own thought.
Still with me? Here's the plan. Let's begin by listening to what the book proclaims about itself. Then I'll show you what the book truly expresses. Then you can decide whether or not you want to read it.
Okay, back to step one: what does the book proclaim about itself? I'm betting it will be something nice. Funny how that works.
The first paragraph of the novel's inner jacket: "An Extraordinary fiction debut: a large, stirring novel of suspense that is, at the same time, a work of brilliantly astute social observation. The Emperor of Ocean Park is set in two privileged worlds: the upper crust African American society of the eastern seaboard—old families who summer on Martha's Vineyard— and the inner circle of an Ivy League law school. It tells the story of a complex family with a single, seductive link to the shadowlands of crime."
Step two: Translation from Publisher-ese to Reader-ese, one thought at a time:
"An extraordinary fiction debut"
This was bound to be a true statement, regardless of the actual quality of the writing; Stephen L. Carter, a professor at Yale's very own Law School, received a record-smashing $4.2 million advance for two books – the second book is yet to be published. This is the largest advance ever given to a first time writer.
"novel of suspense"
I suppose it is. The narrator's father, one Oliver Garland, a powerful judge, is now a dead judge, and suspected murdered. All the mystery, danger and suspicions that could accompany such a plot, are here for the savoring. But this doesn't qualify as a thriller— it's a slow read at first, and you'll keep turning the pages only if you're into the character development. The Hardy Boys style of ominous or significant ending to each chapter doesn't quite pull the momentum of the book along. Talcott may well be concerned, and then even more concerned and bewildered as well—but the reader is not frightened, not convinced there is any impending doom for a man who must last another six hundred pages. The one character with an immediately compelling aura of peril is ... already dead from the start.
"a work of brilliantly astute social observation"
Ah, here we go. This is why the book banked so much cash, and this is why it is getting a review from yours truly.
Talcott is the protagonist and first-person narrator of this book, and his thoughts are the reader's guide to social observation. Talcott happens to be a law professor at an Ivy League school. He is also an African American, or as he puts it throughout the book, a member of the "darker nation." Whadya know… these two defining characteristics happen to be shared by the story's author. As such, it is impossible not to wonder to what extent Talcott is a direct mouthpiece for Carter's own intuitions, thoughts and frustrations. And of these last, there are plenty. When Talcott's fundamental frustrations, most often related to race relations, are prodded by some unsuspecting soul, this tends to ignite the narrator's temper, as symbolized by an imaginary red mist that begins to accumulate around the instigator's head. Talcott is outwardly cool (cold, even) and controlled, so his temper is usually confined within his mind.
We the readers get to dwell in that mind. It is overdriven, constantly analyzing its surroundings, and then analyzing its own analysis and feelings. It acknowledges even that which it wishes to hide from itself, and dwells on that which it wishes to not think about. This is what I mean by "no clothes"—we are explicitly presented with Talcott's every vulnerability and unworthy thought, along with his strength and his virtues. (Sad when you have to explain a part of your own title, isn't it?) We are also presented with piercing reflections upon the past that add to the character development of the other personas in the novel, in a way that does not feel overly subjective.
Thus we are immersed in a thought-heavy narrative—three parts speculation and internal reaction for every one part actual event, movement or dialogue. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. In fact, it is what actually drives the novel, making it somewhat less exciting but far more thought provoking than a Grisham.
Talcott is a part of a seldom written about subculture, the Black elite. This identification forms a crucial part of his own identity and thoughts. His musings are continually influenced by an acute awareness of his membership in the darker nation and its relationship to the paler nation. Race relations are a dominant theme, but fortunately they are not the only theme developed in the social commentary.
Talcott's role of law professor offers him opportunity to wax eloquent about the misguided and empty ambitions of those who reach the top, only to realize they have wasted their lives, neglected their families, and accomplished nothing. Such moralizing is common in Talcott's thought, but somewhat tolerable insofar as it is generally presented within his own inner struggle to abide by the standards he believes in, rather than the preaching of a perfect man— for to our jaded ears a perfect man would necessarily be an outsider with no real credible voice on all-too-human affairs.
The Emperor of Ocean Park's plot twists accentuate the role of politics in Talcott's life, politics on a very personal level, from within his fragile marriage to his supposedly collegial career, from his interaction with friends to his relationship with his deceased father. Washington DC didn't even have to come up to provide a nasty picture of networked societies of bald ambition, posturing, "favors" and who you know… but Washington DC's ugliness is included in the picture.
And now we must return to the subject of racial tension. It is disturbing how much the color of Talcott's skin has a grip on the way he views the world around him, and surely this is a part of the message Carter is trying to convey in writing the book. Talcott is virtually obsessed with his darker nation/paler nation distinction. I would like to think that is just his problem. But his is certainly not an unusual case, and deeper investigation suggests that it is our collective problem as a nation. I would like to say he is simply pathological. But it wasn't until recently that our laws stopped blatantly supporting the very division that I would rather dismiss as nonessential. I would like to say he should be able to approach the challenges race presents in America today without getting emotionally dragged around by them. But his is a deep resentment stemming from real injustice and real people, and it is no wonder this is transposed to unhappy suspicions of further racist thought and conduct in an almost paranoid fashion.
Even so, he doles out his criticism across the board, to blacks and whites, liberals and conservatives, often with some dour maxim on the human race as a whole. Let me offer some examples from the book.
"Did you hear the questions I
asked your brother?"
"Yes, ma'am."
Something registers in the
sergeant's face: why didn't I
think to say ma'am? Because
she is white and I am black? Is
rudeness the legacy of oppression?
Downward, downward,
civilization spirals, and all we
Americans seem able to do
about it is to quarrel over the

cuts and their indifference to the
plight of those not like themselves,
say my colleagues at the
university. This is what liberals
have spawned with their fostering
of the victim mentality and
their indifference to the traditional
values of hard work and

cheering audiences. In my sour
moments, it strikes me that both
sides seem much more interested
in winning the argument
than in alleviating these
women's suffering. Service.
Theo Mountain is right. No
other answer but that one.
Yes, the true insight that this book brings to the reader is the psychology of race through the eyes of a black elite from a conservative background. Talcott lives in a wealthy neighborhood, but is aware that his is the third black family ever to own a house there. He takes bitter pride in the fact that he owns the very house which once belonged to a man that denied African Americans entrance to the same school at which he is now a tenured professor.
In some sense, this book turns liberal views on race on their head. Talcott is particularly sensitive to the fact that he is one of the few of his race who seem to have "made it." He has overcome institutional racism on both the private and public level. On the other hand, he realizes the need to stop fighting over whose fault it is that blacks have been oppressed in this country and assuming that blacks can not fend for themselves. While his – and Carter's own – conclusions appear liberal (for example both the author and narrator support affirmative action), he is operating in an inherently conservative framework that includes personal initiative and private efforts. Hence his focus on service and sacrifice on the part of individuals. He blames liberals for liking affirmative action because "they can tell themselves that they are working for racial justice while pretending that the costs do not exist." (pg. 182) Hence, Carter provides us with a very stark picture of the choices, often tragic, that must be made. There is no such thing as a free lunch. As such, the book has much to teach liberals about their own views on race.
By the same token, there is much for conservatives to learn from this book. Talcott's thoughts and feelings are credible. Insofar as they surprised and upset me, this is a sign that this book has something to teach. There is a reality to being black in America, whether rich or poor, whether truly oppressed or not, which is deeply emotionally tied to racial identity. Whether or not one thinks this is justified, it is there and must be acknowledged as such.

Lawyer for 9/11 mosque: Landing gear was planted
Posted By -NO AUTHOR- On 04/28/2013 @ 12:48 am In U.S. | No Comments
(Gothamist) The police are continuing to investigate plane landing gear—which they believe is from one of the planes that crashed into the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001—found between two buildings blocks from the WTC site. Police Commissioner Ray Kelly described the piece as being around 5 feet by 4 feet by 17 inches, discovered in a "very, very narrow, confined area" between 51 Park Place and 50 Murray Street: "It's difficult to get in there and see."
Kelly said there was rope tied to one part of the gear, raising the possibility that it had been lowered. He added there weren't marks on the buildings: "It would have had to fall down at a certain angle." The location happens to be near where a controversial mosque and community center has been planned. The Post reports, "A lawyer for the proposed 'Park51′ mosque claimed the landing gear was planted by opponents of the project — a theory Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said cops would explore."

I don't really want a part in this, I just think this is an awesome name.
Just imagine the people screaming in terror..."HERE COMES THE SPEEDY CLAXTON!
Or other fearless pirates talking to each other at night in the bar about the boat that must not be named..."We dare not speak its name" Petey the pirate mumbled through his bead decorated beard. "Why not?" asked the young crewman who just joined aboard Petey's ship as a deck swabber. (<- ) "We do not speak it for the mighty captain of the..." He looks around cautiously..."The Speedy Claxton!" he whispered...and returning to his normal demeaning composure continued on..."For the truly fearless captain, Dhampir Mc'Dougan (Or whatever you're calling yourself these days) will spill out your spleen on to his poop deck and have you spit shine said poop deck by sunrise with nothing but a tooth brush and what's left of yer' wits".
Awesome. Right?

Video Testimonials
Ruth Graham - Hagerstown, MD
We had a wonderful experience in buying our new CR-V. Our salesman, Matt Dixon, could not have more personable, knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. The financial young man we worked with was very professional and very thorough. It was a pleasure dealing with both and we could not be more pleased with the manner in which the car performs. This is our third CR-V and would recommend not only the car, but Hagerstown Honda and their excellent staff.
Raegon Clutz - Hagerstown, MD
I have purchased Hondas from Hagerstown Honda since 1995 because the individuals at this delaership are courteous, professional, and helpful. Chio DiCola knows his products thoroughly and presents his products in a manner that is easily understood whether the potential buyer has a knowledge of vehicles or not. Dave Ainsworth took the time to sit down with Chio and me and negotiated with me until we struck a deal considered fair for both parties. I was impressed by these individuals and pleased with the deal.
Dealerrater.com - 12/6/12
Justin in sales was outstanding. No pressure, answered all my crazy questions. Was always available to work around our busy work schedule. Found us the car,a 2013 Honda Accord Sedan Touring in red. My wife's dream car. Prior to the sale he spent a ton of time explaining all the safety equipment that this car has. He spent time after the sale helping us connect our cell phones with the car. We found all the staff very helpful. We shopped several other Honda Dealerships and I felt that we got a GREAT car at a GREAT price from Hagerstown Honda.
We had pin stripes and splash guards installed a few days after the sale. Bill Crouse Service Advisor was helpful and answered all my questions about other products that we were considering adding to our Accord. The car was returned clean and their work was perfect.
I will be taking other family members to Hagerstown Honda when they have a need for a new or used car. Thanks Guys!!
Joseph Strite - Williamsport, MD
We went to Hagerstown Honda with the intention to test drive a new CVR to see if it "fit" us. Ciro met us outside to welcome us. We told him what we were interested in and he told us all about the newly styled CVR. He really knows about the products he sells. Ciro took us on a tour of the facility and we were impressed with the cleanliness of the whole place. We did not plan on buying that night but ended up doing so after we were able to get the deal we had in mind. He was so friendly and made the whole buying experience pleasurable. Sales manager Dave was also very helpful and friendly in getting the deal closed. I would recommend these two guys to anyone. We love the new CRV.
Kim Becker - Friendsville, MD
With the economic decline and increase in fuel prices, my husband and I chose to explore Honda vehicles. We visited several dealerships in the surrounding area, but none had the personality of Hagerstown Honda. Our first purchase from Hagerstown Honda was a 2008 Civic which my husband rolled after four months. He sustained only a bruise from the airbag. Thereby we decided to again purchase a Honda. When we returned to Hagerstown Honda to replace that vehicle, we also purchased a Pilot Touring. We have returned to Hagerstown Honda numerous times for oil changes and Brandon, our salesman, always greets us at the door. Other employees as well, call us by name when we go into the dealership. Although I've never met the employees in the service department, I love the fact that I don't need to make an appointment for an oil change and that the wait is very minimal. We live two hours from the dealership and this makes for excellent customer service. Additional the service department keeps track of my maintenance schedule. Over the last two years, we've put many miles on the Touring and have just recently replaced both the Pilot and Civic with the 2011 models. We have recommended Hagerstown Honda to numerous individuals. We are loving our Hondas and more importantly, loving Hagerstown Honda, the service department, and our salesman, Brandon Fisher.
Sandra D. Trout — Frederick, MD
In 2003, I purchased a new Honda Accord from your dealership and was very pleased with it. About six weeks ago my husband and I decided to look at the new 2009 Honda Accords. While I was out of town, my husband drove over to Hagerstown and made his first exploratory visit. He was impressed with the new Honda and drove me over three weeks later. We were met by Wendy Brechbill as a sales consultant. She did a great job of walking us tastefully through the sales process. Her pleasant and sincere personality was refreshing in making a car selection and finally a purchase on December 30th. She followed through on all of our questions in a very professional manner. Too often CEOs hear of only complaints but I wanted to let you know how pleasant Wendy was throughout the purchasing process. If she had any questions she knew where to get the answers in a professional way.
We met briefly with Brett Swain, Finance Manager, to do our paperwork but found him to be professional, easy to talk with and quite competent.
I am quite pleased with our new 2009 Honda Accord EX-L V6. Wishing you and your associates a prosperous and healthy new year.
Linda & Charles Eberly — Cumberland, MD
This is our 4th Accord from Hagerstown Honda and again I was very pleased with the whole experience. This dealership is 1st class and we tell everyone in our area to shop there.
Upon our arrival, Brandon Fisher met us right outside the showroom. He had the Black 2009 Accord waiting for us to test drive. My husband is a coach and had baseball practice until 2:00 on Saturday. We drove a little over an hour and arrived around 3:30. After the test drive, Brandon pulled up the screen and showed us all the numbers, we talked with him and told him what we needed to hear. We then talked to Matt and he also was very informative and took care of finding us the best interest rate. He took care of all the details. We left the dealership at 6:00, driving my beautiful new car. The Service Dept. had it sparkling. I loved it on Saturday and I'm still loving it today.
I love and trust my Honda. I have never owned one that let me stranded. I will never buy anything another make.
Thank you Hagerstown Honda and especially Brandon Fisher. I have an early birthday present.
Andrew J. Mowen, Ph.D. — University Park, PA
Cindy's first new vehicle (purchased from Hoffman in 1993) was a Jeep Grand Cherokee. She spent over $30,000 on that back then. In 2001, we bought the Sport Trac to replace the Jeep (and it cost $28,000). So I'm glad to be getting her in something more affordable. We are on the same replacement cycle so it tends to crimp the budget (my 2005 Mustang GT should last another 5 years).
I will say that I've had my best car buying experience ever at Hagerstown Honda, with Bob Barnes. No pressure, no gotchas, etc. Excellent selection. In my lifetime, I have bought about 6-7 cars from other dealerships, so I have some basis for comparison.
Arnie & Jean McGaha — Frederick, MD
I am writing to you personally, to express our sincere appreciation and pleasure for the recent experiences that both my wife and I have had, at your dealership.We are "first-time" buyers at Hagerstown Honda, and will not soon forget the professional and courteous service that we received while shopping for her new Honda.To be quite honest, we had fully intended to purchase my wife's 2009 Pilot, at another dealership, where a friend's father worked as a salesman.Our trip to Hagerstown was purely to do some pre-comparison shopping.
Upon our arrival, on June 29th, we were initially greeted by one of your salesman, Mr. Sean Lewis.After gathering our information, he arranged a test drive, as my wife had not driving this vehicle yet.He also gave us a brief, but in-depth preview, of many of the wonderful features associated with this car.During the next hour or so, Sean was not only professional, in helping us decide on options, etc., but was very courteous in handling our questions and concerns.We were both very comfortable with his presentation, and did not experience the sales pressure, often found during this process.After we decided on a few options, Sean did a great job on convincing us to buy at Hagerstown Honda, and we closed the deal that same evening.
We then met with Finance Manager, Mr. Matt Hull, who was equally helpful, and offered some nice insight to our purchase.He walked us through the financing process, and only added to what had already been an enjoyable process.This evening would be a topic of discussion with family and friends in the weeks that followed.
Now here's the Paul Harvey, or the rest of the story.During our visit with Sean, I had expressed my interest in purchasing a Ridgeline, but knew that it would probably be next year.However, over the next few months, and knowing the economy had greatly impacted the auto sales market as well, my wife and I decided to push our next year's date for the Ridgeline purchase, up to this year.So I placed another call to Sean Lewis, and on October 16th, we met again with him, and I am now the proud owner of a 2009 Ridgeline.This would not only be my own personal, first time Honda purchase, but would also be the first time in my life, that I bought TWO new cars within a four month period!This Ridgeline, much like my wife's Pilot, is one of the most amazing automobiles (trucks) that I have ever owned.We could not be happier with our entire experience at Hagerstown Honda.
We would appreciate it, if in your busy schedule; you might find the time to personally thank Mr. Sean Lewis, Mr. Matt Hull, and additionally Mr. Brett Swain, who assisted at my Ridgeline purchase, for providing such a fine representation, of your Sales Staff.These gentlemen are all 'class acts' and is certainly a credit to your organization.In fact, we will be sending a family member, from the Baltimore area, over to meet with Mr. Lewis, before you get this letter.
Jean and I commend you, for your efforts in managing such a fine business.We hope to return to Hagerstown Honda again in the future.
Jim & Priscilla Hofricuter — Adamstown MD
Buying a car can be an extremely stressful event. Once again, Hagerstown Honda has made it a rewarding, fun adventure. Our saleman was a delight and because of his gracious professionalism, his charm and wit, kindness and laughter we were happy to not delay our purchase or shop around. I hope you will convey to him how nice it was to work with him. And once again, we have your fabulous service department to experience!
You are the best of the best and wish all those at Hagerstown Honda a Happy Holidays and Prosperous 2009.
Michele Ambrose — Keymar, MD
I just wanted to say thank you for your help and for being so nice to me in purchasing my new KIA Sportage.
Thanks again.
Marian Kinsey & Drew Crawford — Hagerstown, MD
We want to thank Honda of Hagerstown's Sales Rep., Chad Black, for his interest and expertise sales practices. We really enjoyed working with him and probably his personality is what finalized the sale of our Honda. It was a nice experience to pass on to others.
P.S. Also want to thank Dave Feuerstein for his interest in making final arrangements of the sale which would benefit us much. You people are great.
Guy and Kathy Goladay — Brunswick, MD
We just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate the great service and hospitality you have provided us. You have a great staff. We have been very pleased with our CRV and hope to be back soon for another.
We're going to continue to send you new customers. We let everyone know how great the people at Hagerstown Honda are!
Angela Bogdanowicz
I just wanted to send a compliment your way. Unfortunately, the Air Conditioning in my 2004 CRV went out this past week, but your Service Dept. fixed it today, and Honda paid for the majority of it through warranty.
The mechanic/Service Rep., Alan, was very friendly and the staff went out of their way to give my son and I a ride home while they worked on my car. They even brought the car to my home, in the evening, so I wouldn't have to re-install the child safety seat twice. Thank You!
Kevin Burkett
Thanks to Chris for being friendly and helpful over the phone. I decided to drive the extra miles (45 to be exact since I work in Winchester, VA) and adjusted my work schedule to have my car serviced in Hagerstown. It was worth the trip! Your Service Department was friendly and professional (and fast). Keep up the good work. I'll spread the word that Hagerstown Honda is the place to go for good service. And Chris, the adjustments made on my car made a big difference. Thanks again.
Larry Smith
Hagerstown Honda is the ONLY place to buy a car. Once again, I am writing to share what an incredible experience it has been to have my Honda serviced at Hagerstown Honda. I brought my Honda in for a routine service - oil, lube, filter. Alan Barnes, Service Advisor Extraordinaire, asked if there was anything else I needed. I asked him if he could please check my exhaust as it did not sound normal. Within 2 hours, Alan called, shared they had discovered the problem and it was covered under warranty. Wow. Honesty, Care, Concern, Technical Expertise and a Customer focus second to none.
Alan Barnes - Chris Anderson and the crew and staff at Hagerstown Honda are second to none - Period. I am so thankful to Alan Barnes for his time, attention, stewardship and superior customer focus. Anyone who visits Hagerstown Honda will be more than satisfied - they will be Raving Fans!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you - Alan Barnes and Hagerstown Honda - You are the best.
Bill and Pat Harrigan — Myersville, MD
This is a thank you for your help. My '01 Odyssey had a transmission problem, and I brought it to you, specifically Chris Anderson, in service. Your diagnosis and help led to Honda replacing the transmission and the catalytic converter for very nominal cost.
Thank you for your help, and I might say the transmission never shifted so smoothly!!
God Bless you for exhibiting integrity at a time when many businesses do not.
Michael Sayger — Thurmont, MD
Thanks for your exceptional attention yesterday Friday 2/6/09. I continue to be impressed with the Hagerstown Honda Staff. You really do want happy customers. Dealing with you, Shelby Shindledecker, in your express service lane and Greg Bell in your service department, all made me feel that Hagerstown Honda really appreciates my business.
Again, Thanks to all the above for Exceptional Service.

text: A Tasmanian Resort Complete with Private Island… Lately, when you head to the shore, it seems like you're encountering more people than beach. If it keeps up, you may have to get a private island of your own. Or at least rent one. Welcome to Saffire Freycinet, a gloriously secluded new Tasmanian resort by the shore, taking reservations now. You'll arrive and find just 20 rooms perched on a sandy peninsula, all with floor-to-ceiling views of the bay… so private there's no need for curtains. Outside, you'll have a few hundred miles of beach to yourself (okay, and your 19 neighbors). But if you need even more distance from humanity, hop a ferry and putter around a nearby private island—it's a national park whose only visitors are resort guests (that'd be you) and the passing whales. Once you're hungry, you can wade over to their marine farm and scoop oysters straight out of the water and into your mouth, with a splash of Saffire's housemade champagne vinegar sauce from your pocket. After the appetizers, take the house helicopter to the Highland Lakes region—a huge network of streams, ponds and rivers with some of the Southern Hemisphere's best fly-fishing—or just head back to your room, where a chef will be at the stoves prepping a private 12-course feast of king crab and wild clover lamb paired with a dozen Tasmanian wines. In case you've decided you'd like some company after all.

KNIA/KRLS Golf Classic Results
Posted By News On June 12, 2013 @ 6:21 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
Yesterday was the 11th Annual KNIA/KRLS Golf Classic at Bos Landen. It's also the second year that the classic has raised money for the food shelves of Marion County. KNIA/KRLS donated $10 to the food shelves for each of the 76 participating golfers. Golfers also received special gifts from KNIA/KRLS for donating food when they registered and several hole events offered opportunities to raise additional money for the charity. The winning foursome of Shawn DeWaard, Wade Van Vark, Cole Van Vark and Kent Van Vark, shot a 53 overall to take 1st place. The KNIA/KRLS Golf Classic raised over $1200 for the Marion County food shelves.

1.7 million in Pa. brace for food stamp reform
A slate of proposed changes in how food stamp benefits are calculated and a tightening of states' flexibility in running the programs could impact more than a million Pennsylvanians receiving the assistance.
The changes are part of a measure approved by the U.S. House on Thursday that would cut nearly $4 billion a year for the next 10 years from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, which helps one in seven people nationally and statewide buy groceries.
The White House has threatened to veto the bill if the Democrat-controlled Senate approves it.
Sen. Bob Casey Jr., D-Scranton, has vowed to fight the proposal.
Casey said data show $1 in SNAP spending generates $1.70 in economic activity.
"Over the last few years, the Senate has pushed for substantial reforms to the SNAP program to improve efficiency and effectiveness," Casey said. "Despite these steps, the House is intent on further eroding a program that is vital to thousands of Pennsylvania children and seniors."
About 1.7 million Pennsylvanians receive food stamps, with about 68 percent being families with children, slightly under the national level of 72 percent.
About 36 percent of those on food stamps statewide live with elderly or disabled family members compared with 27 percent nationally, according to the nonpartisan Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in Washington.
Pennsylvania ranked fourth in terms of residents older than 65 with nearly 2 million, according to the 2010 census.
A family of four can make no more than about $36,000 a year and an individual can make no more than about $17,000 annually to qualify, said Anne Bale, spokeswoman for the state Department of Public Welfare, which administers SNAP.
"(SNAP benefits are) primarily in place for families, which is why more children benefit from the program than any other age group," Bale said.
House conservatives, led by Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., have said the almost $80 billion-a-year federal SNAP program has become bloated with more than 47 million Americans now on food stamps.
"The compassionate thing to do in the situation is not to continue growing government and encouraging people to depend on the government," said Elizabeth Stelle, policy analyst for the conservative Commonwealth Foundation. "So instead of just continuing to entrench that dependence, this food stamp bill … addresses the root causes of their poverty," which is lack of employment.
"They're trying to make sure the benefits go to people who need it most," Stelle said.
Democrats said the rise in the rolls during tough economic times showed the program was doing its job.
One of the proposed changes affects applicants whose utility bills are rolled into their rent, many of them senior citizens living in subsidized housing, according to Ken Regal, executive director of the anti-hunger advocacy group Just Harvest in Pittsburgh.
Regal said that under the revised rules, these applicants would be required to file more paperwork to receive the same level of benefits because they do not have separate, itemized bills showing how much they pay for each utility.
The bill would largely eliminate so-called categorical eligibility, a method used by many states that allows people to automatically qualify for food stamps if they receive other social welfare benefits. The move would cut about 2.1 million food stamp recipients from the rolls nationally, officials said.
"Pennsylvania is one of many states that has chosen to do that," Regal said. "It saves administrative costs, reduces administrative errors ... and also makes sure someone who's teetering on the edge and having a hard time making ends meet gets a little bit in food stamps.
"Because Pennsylvania has a history of opting into these kinds of waivers when they can — because Pennsylvania has a higher-than-average elderly population and a relatively higher cost of living than other parts of the country — it seems logical we would be affected by these cuts even more than the average state," Regal said.
The measure approved on Thursday includes a work requirement, which allows states to require 20 hours of work activities per week from any able-bodied adult with a child older than 1 if that person has child care available. The requirements would be applicable to all parents whose children are older than 6 and attending school.
Records show food stamp recipients total more than 237,000 in the Pittsburgh area with about 162,900 in Allegheny County, 43,200 in Westmoreland County and about 31,000 in Fayette County.
The maximum benefit for an individual in Pennsylvania is $200 a month, while a family of four can receive as much as $668 a month.
The legislation is a House effort to finish work on a wide-ranging farm bill, which has historically included farm programs and food stamps.
The House Agriculture Committee approved a combined bill this year, but it was defeated on the floor in June after conservatives revolted, saying the cuts to food stamps were not high enough. That bill included about $2 billion in cuts annually.

David Lane, Stilesville, with son and daughter Andrew, 13, and Tiffany, 9, at his side, gets cash from one of the ATM machines at Victory Field during the game on Friday, July 22, 2011. The machines have notices posted alerting users that the terminal owner charges a $2 fee for a cash withdrawal from a checking or savings account, which is in addition to any fees the cardholders' financial institutions may assess.
- Filed Under
If you used an ATM at Victory Field from July 2010 to May 2011 - perhaps while balancing a hot dog and a Coke on your forearm - you're entitled to $100 from a lawsuit settlement.
The recent settlement came in a lawsuit handled by a Texas attorney who's taken to suing ATM operators across the country for failing to tell users about the small fee typically charged to withdraw money from the cash machines.
The attorney, Eric Calhoun, discovered that two ATMs at Victory Field, home of the minor-league Indianapolis Indians baseball team, failed to display both printed and digital fee notices in 2010 and ...

Hi everyone,
I flash my LiteOn all the time with no troubles but I've got this old BenQ drive that I just can't seem to get to work. It's an old BenQ VAD6038-64930C from 2008 and it has never been on the Internet and never been flashed.
I loaded JungleFlasher and read the original firmware (saving it to disk along with the key.bin). JF asked to autoload LTPlus 1.1 and I agreed. I wrote the firmware and sent the outro. From that point forward it lights up like a Christmas tree with 3 red rings.
I've tried restoring the original firmware from the OFW bin JF created but no luck. I tried to flash back to stock (though I'm not 100% sure which stock firmware to use; I tried all 4 that matched my model information).
At this point not sure what to do. Red ring no matter what I flash onto the drive....
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I did the RRoD diagnostic test and the error code is 0110, Memory Fault / Memory Overheat Fault. So this doesn't seem to be related to the act of flashing the drive, it must be a coincidence.
Posted 11 June 2012 - 12:34 AM
sure you dont have a faulty hard drive
does it get red rings without the hard drive attached
does it get red rings without the hard drive attached

Sounds like an unfortunate coincidence...

|Right ventricular dysfunction in obstructive sleep apnoea: reversal with nasal continuous positive airway pressure.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 8793456 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The incidence and pathogenesis of right ventricular dysfunction in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) remains controversial. Using nuclear ventriculography, the prevalence of right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) was therefore determined in obese patients with OSA, as well as their clinical characteristics, arterial blood gas values, spirometry and sleep parameters. The reversibility of RVD was evaluated after long-term use of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP). We studied 112 obese patients with OSA by nuclear ventriculography, 35 with RVD (Group 1), 77 without RVD (Group 2), and 14 patients without OSA as controls (Group 3). Repeat nuclear ventriculography was performed in seven patients who used nCPAP nightly for 6-24 months. The mean right ventricular ejection fractions (RVEF) were 31%, 47% and 44% in Groups 1, 2 and 3, respectively. Group 1 also had a lower left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 55 vs 63% in Group 2. The OSA groups did not differ in mean spirometric or arterial blood gas values. Group 1 had a lower mean nocturnal arterial oxygen saturation (Sa,O2) of 82 vs 87% in Group 2, and a longer apnoea duration of 22.3 vs 19.2 s. All but two patients in Group 1 had either awake alveolar hypoventilation or an apnoea + hypopnoea index > 40 disordered breathing events.h-1. Repeat nuclear ventriculography after nCPAP revealed an increase in RVEF from 30 to 39%. In conclusion, right ventricular dysfunction is common in obstructive sleep apnoea, but it is reversible with nasal continuous positive airway pressure treatment and appears to be related to nocturnal oxygen desaturation.
