Niles second at Gull Lake InvitationalPublished 7:47am Saturday, August 18, 2012
RICHLAND – The Niles volleyball team finished second at the Gull Lake Invitational Friday.
The Vikings lost to just one team in the tournament, host and eventual champion Gull Lake.
Niles was 5-2 in the debut of coach Jenny Nate.
"I'm so proud of the girls," she said. "I was hired a week ago and my players have welcomed me with open arms, have worked hard, stayed focused and have really supported me jumping right in so that we could move forward fast to prepare for our season."
The Vikings defeated Kalamazoo Loy Norrix, Caledonia, Portage Northern and Battle Creek Lakeview in reaching the finals.
The host Blue Devils toppled Niles 25-13 and 25-20 in the championship match.
"Today was a total team effort and our starters and subs came together and played hard with the same extraordinary intensity throughout the entire tourney," Nate said. "They had fun, played aggressive and never let up through the championship match. It was a great start to our season and I'm excited to watch this team learn and grow."

Fuzzy Logic Versus PI Speed Control in High-Performance AC Drives: A Comparison
Abstract:A frequently discussed application of artificial intelligence in motion control is the replacement of a standard Proportional Plus Integral (PI) speed controller with a fuzzy logic (FL) speed controller. A common conclusion that emerges from such studies is that the FL control provides superior performance. However, such a conclusion usually is based on a limited simulation and/or experimental study. It appears that a thorough comparison of the drive behavior under PI and FL speed control, using simulations and an experimental rig, is still missing. This paper attempts to provide such an in-depth comparison of the operation of a vector-controlled permanent magnet synchronous motor. Speed responses under PI and FL speed control are at first simulated and then measured on the experimental rig for a variety of operating conditions. Two different machines are used in simulation and experimentation, enabling a better generalization of the results. The transients studied include response to a large step speed command from standstill with nominal inertia and an increased inertia, response to a small step speed reference change, response to a step load torque application, and a reversing transient. The transient behavior is examined for various initial speed settings, so that a thorough comparison is enabled. It is shown that superiority of the FL speed control is much less pronounced than it is often portrayed in literature on the basis of limited comparisons. Indeed, in a number of cases PI speed control provided a superior speed response. Predictions obtained by simulations and experimental results are found to be in reasonable agreement, considering all the differences between the simulation and experimental study.

Catalyst's Waterproof iPhone Case, Now Offering Superior Protection for the iPhone 6 Plus
By Siva Om
The makers of my favorite waterproof iPhone case have finally come out with the Catalyst for the iPhone 6 Plus, and I continue to be tremendously impressed. They've taken a design that was already exceptional and tweaked it with subtle refinements producing an end product that happens to be what I would consider, the best waterproof case on the market. Not that there aren't other great waterproof cases available for the iPhone 6/6 Plus series, there certainly are. That's why it's even more of an accolade for me to state that the Catalyst case is perhaps the best of an increasingly crowded and competent waterproof case market.

Thayer Mayor
I can't believe another year is coming to a close. The city of Thayer has been busy completing and starting a few projects.
Our sidewalk project is very near completion, making it possible for residents and students to be able to walk from downtown Thayer to the Thayer High School building on the same side of the street on Highway 142 East. That was (made possible by) a matching grant from MoDOT. Many residents have wanted this done for many years. We are glad this has become a reality.
We are really happy for the completion of the water line extension under Highway 63 from Nettleton to the Thayer Industrial Park, being made possible from a grant from USDA. It improves the water volume needed for industry in the park as well as those on the east side of the highway.
A grant from MoDOT also made it possible to landscape and plant shrubs by the sidewalks and in the new park area and plant trees and shrubs making our newest park, Agusta Setting Gardens, at the top of First Street in Thayer, a relaxing, resting place for individuals or a place to chat with friends.
At the present time, it is decorated with a Christmas tree which is real, and with decorations that go up and down the entrance into Thayer. Volunteers Gene Blankenship and Virgil Clark made the wooden benches and Cover Lumber Co. donated the lumber to build these benches for everyone to enjoy. We are very glad that here in Thayer residents join forces to improve our town for everyone's benefit.
The recycling center parking lot has been paved at the Industrial Park and finishing touches are being completed through a USDA grant which was much needed for the recycling center.
The caboose museum welcome center is in the legal procedure and we are hoping it will be opened in the next few months at McDonald's for tourists to be able to obtain information about Thayer and the surrounding area.
Our Christmas decorations are in place and being admired be motorists traveling up and down Highway 63 and also in the downtown area. We have had many nice compliments on our decorations and how nice the city looks during this Christmas season. We are proud of our city workers who have worked hard to make our city look great.
The city of Thayer entered the first ever Chili Cook-Off, where 600 mayors were invited to cook their secret recipes and compete at Rockaway Beach. This will be an annual event. Thayer received first place, and Gary Barton, utility superintendent, received second place. Everyone will want to compete next year with their great recipes.
Steve Hall resigned as alderman for the south ward due to increased business commitments. I think Mr. Hall has done a good job as alderman and wish him the best.
Due to the flu outbreak we thought a person needed to be appointed to fill his position so a quorum could be met. I recommended to the council and they approved appointing Steve Alford to finish out the unexpired term. Alford has filed for that position.
With the resignation of Mr. Hall I appointed Fern Hickinbotham as treasurer.
She has expressed interest in helping keep operating costs down in the city. She recently took time from her business to attend a MIRMA Insurance meeting in St. Louis. By attending these meetings the city is given credit when it comes time for evaluations. Fern has also filed for re-election.
All in all, I think we have had a great year and am pleased with all the accomplishments we have made in our city. I am looking forward to a new year to plan new projects and accomplish as many things as possible in the new year.

was 1.2 in last count nearly, though not counting the days since I read that...I also wonder how much is a actual buyers not closing their shorts??? much more to go either way when it comes to covering "should they decide to cover"...smart ones will...
Well we should expect some mud slinging to get them out.....the analyst upgrade should help....Did you see if there was a price target on the upgrade?
Looks like Merriman gave an $8.50-$11.50 range...how's that for sticking your neck out ;-)Looks like we are trying to form somewhat of a base in the $7.75 range with resistance up in the high 7s.....I would guess that is some heavy resistance up there as people who bought in the 7s would consider getting out up in that range.

Skip to comments.Team Obama grabs the pitchforks (Insurance vs. Obama. Grab the popcorn)
Posted on 11/04/2013 10:51:46 AM PST by tobyhillEdited on 11/04/2013 10:53:08 AM PST by Admin Moderator. [history]
TEAM OBAMA GRABS THE PITCHFORKS - The partnership between President Obama and big health insurance companies is under some serious strain as administration talking points suggest a populist pitch in a bid to resuscitate the presidents floundering new entitlement program. Ezekiel Emanuel, the leading architect of ObamaCare insisted on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace that Obama isnt to blame for millions of cancelled policies, premium spikes and other disruptions. The insurance decides how to make money. When the private companies decide to drop an individual, you blame Obama. He isnt responsible for that, said Emanuel, brother to former White House Chief of Staff turned Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
Zeke acted like an hysterical lunatic.
this is an alien concept to a neo-Marxist redistributionist.
Dumb insurance companies. They thought they were getting special perks from Bambi in exchange for giving up their business and getting guaranteed government business. Little did they know that this was but a prelude to getting rid of them altogether.
Sorry, guys... Under the bus with you.
Zeke is the architect of a cold calculating set of healthcare delivery directives based on the value of a human life to be "productive" to the state
in rationing care, both the old and the very young are expendable first
he and Goebbels would have been collegial pals
Insurance Kapos will be at the front of the Shower Line.
Seems their greed got the best of them.
Had they been historians, they would see how these fascist arrangements always work out.
When they go bad, their government "partner" never takes the blame.
Zeke's "Complete Lives" system
obama's rationer-in-chief
Didn't Zeke say that insurers were wanting to exit the individual market?
The insurance companies heard "30 million new customers" and sold their souls to the devil.
They were betting that they could just cancel the plans and people would flock to higher premium plans but now reality has kicked in and they now realize those people they just kicked off aren't coming back. They will have a net loss of real paying customers now.
That number of cancellations is only from 5 states. Wait till the full tally is known!
Paging Harry and Louise....
At some point they will be pulling pitchforks outta their behinds................
Funny..I always though Rahm looked like Goebbels. But this brother of his is a total insane idiot. Too bad they didn't let him speak more or get interviews on air back in 2009/10
When the number of policy cancellations exceeds the original number of uninsured that Obamacare was supposed to help, that is when we need to go on a media offensive.
The statement by Emanuel is false. In a letter sent to my Congressman prior to the passage of the Act and therefore prior to the HHS regulations which define "change" for purposes of the grandfather clause, I predicted that the Act would lead to the extinction of non-conforming plans. Any thinking person who took the time to read the Act would have come to a similar conclusion.
Obama's arguments now will be believed only by the galacticly stupid, the democrat side of the congress...and RINO's.. but I repeat myself

Just wait until Employer provided Group Insurance will have to embrace the new Government imposed mandates regarding coverage. The same thing will happen, Policies will get cancelled and the employer provided coverage will be terminated. Prior to Obama care, most people were very happy with their coverage and never had these high deductibles and co-pays. They (Government) really threw out the baby with the bath water.
Instead of providing quality healthcare, at least everyone can now enjoy free birth control and abortion services?
The insurance companies who were stupid enough to support Barry on this had better watch out and start hiring lawyers. Next thing you know Holder will start an "investigation" and discover this was all their fault. Lawsuits to extort confessions and fines to follow.
I know it would've been changing the subject, but I wish Wallace would've then asked ol' Zeke, if 4 months is more than enough time to sign up for Obamacare, why isn't 12 months enough time to expect people to secure some form of voter id in time for next year's mid-terms? Or better yet, 36 months in time for the next Presidential election?!
Yep....there's more coming and the demorats and media will push that it's the Insurance Companies. Unfortunately Obama supporters believe all they're told....they have not been hurt enough to change yet.
Lowering food stamp distribution is not enough to turn them...nor is Obamacare.....until they have barely "survival" funds only they will not change. Even then they will revolt rather than go to work. In their minds the gov. owes them one way or another.
Those not on the rolls are fully indoctrinated to the progressive mindset....they too haven't "hurt" enough. Only when there is severe hardship will their mindset be broken.
Elect Terry M., Bagman for the Clintons Virginians, and look for more corruption. Elect Cuccinelli, and look for a healthy State....don't let your state be bought by the Obama and Clinton political machines...they don't give a hoot in 'ell about you or Virginia...Make your vote for Governor for America...not a vote for Socialism.
The Big Insurance companies opted out of the exchanges....they'll watch the little guys fall under obamacare and be there to pick up those who can afford private polices...the little companies believed this was a win for them....they will discover otherwise down the road.
Carriers are already sending out notices of cancellation on employer provided insurance. My small firm has received one, and a couple of my larger clients have as well.
Rahm's big brother could have been best pals with Lavrenti Beria.
Yes, another date to look forward to is March 15. 2014. The Insurance companies have to release their premiums under Obama care for 2015. Look out for some fireworks.............
Yeah, Zeke knows that the world will be a paradise as soon as we get rid of all vestiges of capitalism. Certain difficult obstructionists will have to be dealt with first.
The insurance companies did not realize that the endgame was their own demise. GREED clouded their judgment.
Frankly about the only thing that will happen with Obamacare is they will tweak it here and there.....I do not have any reason to believe Congress will do any more than that. They certainly don't give any indication now they intend to stop it...just slow it down or change certain aspects of it. Either or we will never have our Insurance choices as once were.
The community agitator trying to rile up the masses against the evil insurance companies...
Words inscribed on the pediment of the Obama Memorial located in the Chicago stockyard's excrement collection facility.
"When the private companies decide to drop an individual, you blame Obama. He isnt responsible for that, said Emanuel, brother to former White House Chief of Staff turned Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel."
Giant HALF TRUTHS are great at telling giant lies, and that's what Emmanuel does.
This issue of the day is not insurance companies that "drop an individual" because of Obamacare. It is insurance companies dropping a plan as it was previously offered, and either offering to keep that plan but UNDER OBAMACARE it will cost more DUE TO OBAMACARE, or in some markets, no longer offering that plan DUE TO THE ADDED COSTS REQUIRED FOR THAT PLAN, UNDER OBAMACARE.
Emmanuel went on to try to say insurers did not want to be in the health insurance market for individuals "as it's constructed" (before or since Obamacare).
That is another GIANT half truth because the market for health insurance for individuals IS an artifact of government intervention, government regulation and government tax policy. The individual market is in net a CREATION of everything the government has done to favor the big government, big employer, big union CAPTURED EMPLOYEE health insurance market and disfavor the individual market.
"Dumb insurance companies. They thought they were getting special perks from Bambi in exchange for giving up their business and getting guaranteed government business."
They are not so much dump as they are traitorous, selling EVERYONE's Liberty for a few promised pieces of silver, in a program that by it's mandates makes the cost of inusrance higher - no fault of theirs - but, via the enslaved media, it is SUPPOSED to put the public blame for it on them.
Yet, what they got from Obama will keep them slap happy for a long time, before the ongoing, year after year sticker shock and rising taxes comes back and bites them for their bargain with the devil.
That will take some time because if a plan is too "expensive" it can be subsidized if it is more than 9.5% of someone's annual income, up to an income of $9X,0000/fam of 4 (400% of "poverty level"). The subsidy takes the individual's cost down to no more than 9.5% of their annual income. In time, as sticker shock goes up every year, and more and more go looking for the subsidy, the taxes to make it all possible are going to go up as well. As long as the subsidy keeps up, what "sticker shock" will the insurance companies see in their income? Very little. The mandated coverages and the income levels for the subsidy and the level of the subsidy will keep their revenues largely unscathed. BUT, at some point, the federal fiscal situation will force stiffer price controls on policy premiums, just as price controls entered the Medicare scene as a way to try to cut it's cost. Price controls result in fewer participants in a market; a situation that usually leaves only the biggest ones surviving. Who will that be? The ones that made the deals with Obama; and although it was never their plan to help destroy the private insurance marketplace, that's exactly what their grand bargain will help do, in time.
Thanks so much for this resource!
spread the word!!!!!
this is the blueprint for obamacare, and for the obamistas entire social agenda
do you see ANY love for America or Americans in this "ethics" discussion?
it has been hiding in plain sight since 2009

I find it interesting that after the first post about the foreign engineer who could not be understood that there is a post that is full of grammatical errors and hardly decipherable. This is especially curious in that it has 5 stars. Could it be that the comments struck a nerve?

Your version sounds quite a bit glossed over itself. The military casualties of the US Army were quite small until the Tet Offensive, and were considerably smaller than the casualties of what was presumed to be the enemy then, and this was one of only two ways that "success" of the war could be measured (the other being another day passing without communism controlling the entire country as opposed to a portion of it being controlled by a US-backed autocrat). In that regard, it was a success.
But, what they definitely don't teach you in school is that the autocratic leader the US backed was so unpopular even 9 years before the first US involvement that he would have been voted out had the fair elections been held in 1956. Backing a wholly unpopular leader is what doomed the US's involvement from the start.

Everything green this AM but ACTC is getting close. Oh, well maybe my .068 bid will fill. Now back to the regularly scheduled clueless political banter. Wonder if any of those guys own more than 100 shares.
Easy, I am trying to pickup another 5K of ACTC today, hoping that soon this thing takes off, else how I am going to buy that 2014 Subaru Forester? I guess I could buy it with my current cash, but it would be so much more fun paying for it with ACTC profits.
Jc4actc careful about putting retirement money in a penny stock, my friend. Do a gut check if you can honestly say it won't phase you or affect you or your loved ones in any tangible way if you lose it then fine but if it will affect your family then bail. The stock might pop when they dangle the potential uplisting again but hey didn't act on it last time. Going to the Nasdaq will cause them to be under greater regulatory scrutiny and then they can't play shenanigans with the stock. I don't think they will ever do it. The fact that they passed last time with excuses that don't add up referencing timing... It's another red flag.
It's PBIO. Look at the price from jan 1 2008 to end of 2008 . Compare dates to the actc 8k sec hiring and bio filing for myles that shows when he was there. If I recall correctly it was at 5 bucks then went to pennies. Myles was CFO and at that company for a few years just before and during some of 2008 then bailed if i recall right ... Press release doesn't say what month he left in 2008 but in any event I don't like it. What kind of shop was he running there? Did he not know the trouble? Then incompetence. Did he participate in its ruin? Still a problem. I'm surprised that is their choice for CFO. They should have had someone who looked like a turn around expert not someone that would raise potential questions.
All their salaries are quite high for a company of this caliber. There are big pharma execs that don't have this base pay. It looks like they might just keep trying to raise cash and pay themselves salaries. The greedy ones will trade stock too and get in trouble. I exited many positions not just actc though. The market looks too frothy for me. The gains over the last years and even in the first part of this year alone are sufficient for me. It will make for a good years return already. Good luck. I will check the board as I am very interested now that I know this stock better.
A Subaru is your dream car? What's that leek 23000. Wow.
Going to put in a preorder for Alfa 4C if ACTC hits the $1.00 mark. I'm 60 today so it would be a good birthday present. I'll take it from the Roth and get it in Red, Red, Red in honor of most of my time in this stock.
please not a subaru, in massachusetts they call it the official lesbian car..........
Keep, seriously a subaru,, what happened to the prius,, why not splurge and get a vette or a nice lexus,, the lexus has the best resale value of any car on the road and they are nice cars,, My wife has had 2 of the rx 350 deals and they are premo,, I am driving her's today as she and my son have my chevy duramax at the beach,, if you want something fast get a lexus IS f sport,, the ultimate sports/luxury car, you can pick one up for about 68k and in three years, it will be worth close to the same that you bought it for,,

AK47 - Sativa
Despite its aggressive name, AK-47 has many peaceful tendencies. First bred in 1992, the name suggests the power packed in its dark, resinous, compact buds that bristle with red hairs and glistening trichomes. AK-47 has a spiced aroma bordering on skunk, with a hint of sandalwood, but tastes sweeter and more floral than the smell would lead one to expect. The AK-47 buzz is immediate and long lasting with an alert but mellow cerebral effect. Lab tests have rated the THC content at over 20 percent, making it a "one hit wonder" for many smokers. This variety can be a little spacey, but is great for playing and listening to music, or other social activities. AK-47 helped put Serious Seeds on the map with a 2nd place finish in the hydroponics competition and a 3rd place in the overall category at the 1995 Cannabis Cup in the Netherlands.

'As I engage in private conversations with pastors across the country, many admit they have chosen to dig in their heels on homosexuality not as a result of careful study or reflection of the biblical text but out of fear," explains Michael Kimpan…
He adds that some pastors have a "fear that their congregation will split—as many have—and revenues in the form of tithes from conservative families will be lost, fear of being deemed heretical and losing their denominational affiliation and accreditation, and fear of losing their 401(k) as a result.'
– TIME magazine, January 26th 2015 print edition
even the image is offensive.
the emotions brought to the surface of any level headed person by the above symbol for the nazi party, the swastika, are uncomfortable to say the least. under this banner an estimated 11 million people were murdered during the holocaust (including 1.1 million children).
the post-world war ii german law code actually prohibits its use or display in any form or fashion – even if used sarcastically, including its use as part of an anti-nazi political statement.
outside of conversations surrounding genocide, delusions of racial superiority or totalitarian regimes and ideologies, comparisons to the nazi party, hitler or anything even remotely related to the third reich are out of place. they serve as an attempt to articulate the ultimate expression of evil. usually, it's quite a stretch – and pretty unnecessary. more often than not, the individual making the comparison tends to lose their argument along with their credibility as it is interpreted as inappropriate, unwarranted and hyperbolic.
put simply, it's in bad form. and it's not ok.

on days that i can't take the time to write a proper blog post (whatever that means), i'll often 'cheat' and simply post a quote – but unfortunately, the 'quote' feature of a published post on WordPress (which i use on the backend of this site) doesn't permit either comments or sharing as a feature.
so today, i'm cheating on both fronts – sharing a quote i suspect may be a thought-provoking conversation surrounding tribalism, exclusivity and the sacred – and the inherent limitations on the way we think about these things :: Continue Reading…

recently at a conference on christ-centered community organizing and inclusion, i was slated to follow one of the most proven, knowledgable and articulate individuals in that space – christian leader and social activist, steve chalke. it's only due to steve's remarkably charming personality and down-to-earth engagement with me as a friend over his four day visit that i was able to keep from catching a nasty case of pre-speaking nerves.
as i stepped in front of the microphone in front of an intimately gathered crowd of community leaders in our chicago venue, i declared,

great thing about telling the truth is,

some exciting changes taking place…
as most of my readers are aware, the past two years have enabled me to participate in some wonderful work as the executive director at The Marin Foundation. over that time i've been able to work with political leaders, pastors and culturally competent individuals to actively encourage and facilitate peaceful and productive dialogue at the intersection of faith, gender and sexuality. it has been a great honor to work toward reconciliation in spaces that are too often defined by polarized, back-and-forth, win/lose rhetoric.
while i still wholeheartedly support both the work and mission of The Marin Foundation – as well as its staff here in chicago – it has become apparent in recent months that it is time for me to move on and continue to expand that great work elsewhere, in addition to pursuing my passion surrounding inter-faith dialogue and the ever-unfolding story of God's good news for all people.
in coming weeks i'll be making official announcements regarding the new opportunities to promote a just and generous expression of the faith within various spaces, and i'm genuinely excited to do so. one organization i will be partnering with is Convergence and their efforts to work with progressive evangelicals – which you can learn more about here.
i will also be partnering with a number of other friends and organizations that are doing similar work, ranging from hyper-local community activism to global initiatives collaborating for the common good as we address concerns in the areas of peace, poverty and our planet. stay tuned here on my blog for more in coming weeks.
i'm grateful for the tremendous support my readers given to me and this important work, and for your continued friendship and engagement in thoughtful conversation with the purpose of inspiring intentional movement toward the Other. each of these ingredients are essential for the flourishing of what i believe to be the future of christianity – an expression of imitating the life, examples and teachings of the jesus we claim to follow.
if it's both exciting and terrifying, it just may well be worth your time.

Chapter 4 – Gilly Show
Raven didn't get much sleep in the few hours she had afforded herself. Normally, this would be attested to her demon father trying to enter her mind. No, this time was part overwork, part dark dragon, and part possessed child.
Yeah, she gave up almost immediately.
Rorek had said that Malchior's power was getting stronger, and that after the next night, his power would be too overwhelming to contain. She still wasn't sure just what the connection was between Mumbo and the dragon, but at this point, she couldn't think too much about it. Time was almost up.
"Man, Raven, you look like crap."
Apparently, there was enough time for Beast Boy to keep making jokes.
"Gee, thanks, Beast Boy," she responded as she took a sip of her tea.
"Did you stay up all night with your new bestie?"
"We're not 'besties', whatever that means." Raven glanced across the counter at Starfire and Rorek's soul self engaged in conversation. "That would probably be more appropriate for Star, though."
Beast Boy gave her a quizzical look. "Are we really going through with all of this hocus pocus with that dragon? We barely beat him the first time."
"But we did. And we can do it again. We just need a little help, that's all."
"From your boyfriend, right?"
Despite her face slightly reddening, Raven gave him a cold stare. "I'm not going to dignify that with a response."
Robin and Cyborg chose that time to enter the common room. Robin shared the same look that Raven did; Cyborg's was physically impossible to replicate.
"How are you feeling, Raven?"
"Like a million dollars."
"You must be fine; your sarcasm is just as obvious as before," Cyborg quipped. "What are those two talking about over there?"
"I heard her mention something about glarpnags. I'm pretty sure he doesn't have any idea what those are."
Robin took a swig of his coffee. "So what's the plan?"
"Other than rescuing a ten thousand year old person from Starfire's culture?"
Raven put down her mug. "We're going to go as soon as everyone is ready. We don't have much time left, and we need as much of it as possible. Malchior shouldn't be expecting us this early."
"Isn't today the last day we have, though?"
"Technically, yes," Raven answered. "But the hour of dusk is considered to be when magic is its most potent. That's probably when Malchior will be at his strongest, and we need to avoid that."
"Aaaand how do you know all of this?"
The spellcaster looked away. "Because that's what Rorek told me last night."
Beast Boy narrowed his eyes, his grin becoming even wider. "What else did he tell you last night?"
She couldn't miss an opportunity like this. "That none of your jokes were funny."
"Friends!" The four Titans turned to their fifth member, who had Rorek and his book in her hands. "I have been informed by friend Rorek that our time to act is fast approaching."
"Man, I can't make sense of all of this magic stuff," Beast Boy sighed. "Can I get a re-explanation? It feels like it's been months."
"It has been only one night, Beast Boy," Rorek reminded him. "I can understand your confusion, however. A lot has happened in a very short period of time. Unfortunately, we are out of time. We must make haste to Malchior right now."
The Titans nodded together. "Are you ready, Raven?"
She turned her gaze out the window, the dark sphere still present. "As ready as I'm ever going to be."
"Is there anyone around?"
"Doesn't look like it."
"Very well. Let us get into position."
The Titans got out of Cyborg's car and gazed up at the ominous bubble, still present after the past couple of days. Now that they were up close again, Raven's feeling of dread as back tenfold.
"Please position yourself around Raven. Now that we are here, we need to move quickly. Robin, do you have the candles?"
Robin nodded.
"Good. Hand one out to each person and light them."
Cyborg's pointer finger opened up to reveal a lighter, putting a flame on each candle.
"Assemble yourselves in a circle around Raven. Raven, place me down in the middle and start the incantation."
Raven put her hood over her head and sat down with Rorek's book in front. Closing her eyes, she started to mumble the chant that he had practiced with her last night.
The apparition of Rorek turned to the remaining teens. "The rest of you can set your candles down. I believe now would be a good time for you to draw your weapons."
"Why do you say that?" Robin asked.
"Because we are about to be joined by some very unpleasant things very shortly."
Cyborg cocked his sonic cannon, Starfire made a couple of starbolts, Robin drew his staff, and Beast Boy turned into a polar bear.
"What Raven is doing right now is forcibly opening a doorway into the Shield of Staldar. The children of your city, whom have now been corrupted by Malchior, are going to notice it, and thus come to protect their master. We have to hold them off until Raven is done with her incantation."
The sky began to get darker as electricity started to crack around the sphere. Beast Boy cast a worried glance at Raven.
"Uhh...I hate to be the downer, but these aren't exactly magic beasts we're fighting. It's kids. We don't want to hurt any of them, right?"
"All we're doing is protecting Raven," Robin said, turning the staff in his hands. "Once she's done, we'll make a break inside. Hopefully, we'll be able to evade them once we get in."
A loud shriek interrupted the Titans as several runes appeared under Raven's floating body.
"It is almost time. Be ready to move-"
The portion of the shield in front of Raven smashed into pieces, paving the way for their dramatic entrance...if it wasn't for the huge wave of bodies coming out from inside.
The force of the wave pushed the entire team back, almost throwing Rorek's book into the water. Beast Boy clutched it out of the air in hawk form and flew back to Raven, who was just coming out of her trance.
"Is it open?"
"Yeah," Cyborg answered her question, but with a worried look. "But I think they have something to say about it."
Raven looked up in the sky. All around the team was a mass amount of children, all dressed in very similar cloaks to hers. Just like May, all of them had glowing eyes and darkened skin, with some laughing in a demonic manner.
Rorek's apparition appeared on her shoulder. "Raven, look."
She looked back at the Shield to see that the hole she had made in the side was starting to repair itself. "We do not have much time before the doorway closes again."
"Anybody have a backup plan?" Beast Boy said as the crowd began to draw closer.
"I have one." Starfire glanced around at the enemies, and made a grab for Raven's hand. The spellcaster looked at her inquisitively...
And had to grab on to her tome for dear life, for Starfire reared back and threw Raven's body through the air, right at the hole in the wall.
"Many apologies in advance, friend Raven!"
She couldn't properly respond, probably because she was careening through the air, the force of the throw emptying her lungs. After a long moment, she slammed into the ground, just as the doorway repaired behind her.
"Star!" Raven coughed up some dirt as she got up. Realizing where she was, she ran up to the barrier, now with her friends on the other side. "I'm not leaving you guys behind!"
"Raven, we do not have the time to argue about this!" Starfire replied, her eyes now glowing green. "You are the one with the knowledge and the magic. You and friend Rorek are the only ones who can stop Malchior! We will keep a distraction up so that you may take care of the business."
"Star's right, Raven," Robin agreed. "You need to go. Don't worry about us. We'll be fine."
"They are right." Rorek appeared again on her shoulder. "Your noble friends will take Malchior's attention away from us. We need to go."
Raven knew they were right. Steadying herself, she turned her back toward the group, but not before one last parting statement.
"Stay safe, guys."
With that, she was off into the unknown, the sick feeling in her stomach now threatening to overtake her.

Gabrielle Giffords' Seat Would be Filled Through Special Election in the Event of Her Departure From Office
As Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords remains hospitalized and in critical condition after taking a bullet through the brain during Saturday's shooting spree in Tucson, it's unclear who will fill her seat in the U.S. House of Representatives if she's unable to finish her two-year term.
Should the congresswoman not be able to finish her term, here's what would go down:
While Giffords' seat could become open through resignation, or in the case of her death, the U.S. Constitution mandates that, in the case of a vacancy in the House, the only way to fill a seat is through an election in the district.
There is no specific provision for the presumed incapacitation of a sitting House member, although a procedure does exist to remove the congresswoman from her seat if she is unable to perform her duties.

The only time this was performed was in 1981, when the House voted to declare Maryland Representative Gladys Spellman's seat vacant four months after she became comatose from a heart attack. She remained in a coma until her death in 1988.
In any circumstance in which Giffords' seat would become vacated, Governor Jan Brewer would be required to call a special election within 72 hours, which would follow the format of an actual election, including party nominations.
The newly elected representative would serve the remainder of Giffords' original term, which would last until 2012.
Giffords defeated Republican newcomer and Iraq war veteran Jesse Kelly by fewer than 4,000 votes in the November election, which may hint toward where that seat would land if it were vacated by the incumbent Giffords.
Until Giffords is gone or back, the congresswoman's staff can help constituents with information about legislation or casework, but nobody can vote in the House on her behalf.

With the attractive stock price of XRX, HP might
buy this company and spinoff their entire Printer
division with XRX. With the synergies in operation,
technica1 & maintenance staffing this will make them one of
the most efficient printer / Copier manufacturer in
the world.
If the share price remains at these
levels definitely this will be a reality.
With 15
Bln in market cap $11-12 Bln in annual sales & a PE
of less than 10 this is a great company.
why couple up with a loser!! XRX should seek alliance with Oracle, Siemens or even sap
ursula needs to go along with her mates..(subs)
Sentiment: Strong Buy
up, uP, UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MORE and MORE Good News Soon!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
HP will NEED to buy XRX to survive after the recent write-offs!!! I see $12 By Friday and more up,uP,UPside beyond that!!!
When HP buys, Ursula with be the new CEO of the whole company, XPQ!!!!
No more more foolish investment decisions after the buyout!!!!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I really like the idea of e-paper, if it can do
what it looks like it can do.
I want a table

think I can do it with e=paper. Any thoughts?
These types of things are normally insured for
large amounts of money. There should be little impact
on earnings.
I'm long 1000 shrs and writing
calls to take in extra cash while this excellent
company goes through a tough time. On paper,
restructuring plans often look simple, but in the real world, a
billion dollar r/s plan filled with layoffs, could take
years to be fully implemented. I got in a little early
(30) but am confident in the long term. Fundamentally
a great stock - perhaps one of the best values on
the street. I see a bottom of $20, but when they beat
estimates in 2Q '00, look out.
XRX is caught in a price war. The only monoply
they have is on their top line Color printer for Print
shops. Unfortunately those dont sell every
The Company is revamping its strategy. It could be
taken over by 3M who also needs to grow. In the near
future Electronic paper will be the best selling High
Tech medium for every day users. Computer screens with
their Voltage and power requirements are going to be
obsolete. XRX and 3M will be ready when that revolution
Short term more pain for future gain.
What does all this mean?
What happens after all the longs take their losses and get stopped out?
Who the hell prints anymore?
that is the conclusion that I came to ...plus the esop program at xerox would be very difficult to work around...I was beginning to doubt whether I was correct in thinking along those lines...thanks
It feels like being in SAKS 5th Ave with K-mart
prices. Look at the P/E; On that alone, it's worth

know brainer!! Don't miss the boat or you'll be
kicking yourself later.
maybe the new year will be a prosperous one for
us and xerox....but you seem like an intelligent man

I'll take your point well and being the gentlemen I am...I'll take your advise and "can" the scoops....

This High School Just Won the Lip Dub Game [VIDEO]
From Mackelmore & Ryan Lewis to Miley Cyrus, the students at Broken Arrow High School can lip dub them all!
From Mackelmore & Ryan Lewis to Miley Cyrus, the students at Broken Arrow High School can lip dub them all!
This guy jammed out to everything from Silento to the Backstreet Boys on his seven hour road trip. If you ask me that sounds amazing, but his sister was clearly not amused!
A four-year-old throwing a fit is not something I'd usually laugh at, but when the four-year-old's mom lip sync's the entire thing it's hard not to, at least, crack a smile!
We've all sang in our cars before. Well these three ladies recored it and it's gold.
The video starts off with one of the most "Manly" songs by Guns and Roses' "Welcome to The Jungle." Things quickly change when Taylor Swift's 'Shake it Off' comes on.
The father and daughter lip-sync of Iggy Azalea's 'Fancy' has amazing written all over it! They nail it!
K-Pop starlets T-ara N4 are probably grateful for Chris Brown's support, but, like most things involving Brown, it comes with a price. That price for the girl group? Breezy interrupting one of their performances ... to promote himself.
Six years ago, when she was 17, Alex Dainis made a video of herself lip-syncing along to the Aaron Carter song 'Aaron's Party (Come Get It.)'
Such a move was pretty questionable at the time, given that the tune came out back in 2000 and featured a 12-year-old Aaron Carter rapping. But, as you will see in the video below, the end justifies the means.
The trouble with girls is nothing compared to the trouble with lip syncing — especially with cameras around! 'American Idol' winner Scotty McCreery, perched atop a festive float, got busted miming the lyrics to his hit, 'The Trouble With Girls' this Thanksgiving.

Successful Young Entrepreneurs
While those who fall under Generation X struggle to move up the corporate ladder because Baby Boomers aren't retiring as early as planned, those who fall under Generation Y have been making their own income in innovative ways. For many of them, that means entrepreneurship. This slideshow will present some of America's youngest entrepreneurs, and we hope it will inspire you and help you realize that it's neither never too late or never too early to pursue your dreams of being a business owner. Let's take a look at some of these ambitious youngsters.
Hart Main
Hart Main is a 14-year old that came up with the idea of manly scented candles when he was teasing his sister about the girly scented ones she was selling for a school fundraiser. Although she didn't expect him to fully pursue the manly scented candles idea himself, he did, and the idea has turned into a nationwide success. Main put in an initial investment of $100, his parents put in $200, and they all worked together to develop the candles as a group. The available scents include: Campfire, Bacon, Sawdust, Fresh Cut Grass, Grandpa's Pipe and more. Today, ManCans candles are in over 60 stores across the country and have sold about 9,000 units. Main will stick with selling ManCans' inventory until he has to shift his focus back into school in the fall. I mean, he is only 14 after all.
Charlotte Fortin
Charlotte is a young high school graduate that followed in both her father's and grandfather's entrepreneur footsteps when she decided to open up a business of her own called Wound Up. Inspired by some small and funky boutiques in California, Wound Up was opened to be a women's clothing store targeting women between the ages 18 to 40. The store's merchandise includes blouses, shorts, skirts and dresses. Fortin says that she has quickly grown up, and become much more responsible and conscious because of the experience. Also, despite working an average of nine hours a day, she is still able to keep in touch with her close friends.
Caine Monroy
Caine Monroy is only nine years old and already a business owner. He's an arcade owner to be exact. After constructing a makeshift cardboard arcade and setting it up in his father's auto parts store in L.A., his business has been the talk of the town with television crews and enthusiastic children coming through daily. Probably because Caine sells $1 and $2 tickets that allow 4 plays and 500 plays respectively. Caine also sells $15 T-shirts that say, "Caine's Arcade" on them. Although it is unclear how much money his arcade business has made so far, in donations alone he has already raised over $212,000. His success is supposedly largely owed to an 11-minute video that features the young entrepreneur that ended up going viral on Vimeo and YouTube.
Jack Kim
Jack Kim is a Seattle teenager that founded Benelab, a search engine that generates donations. Kim had made some search engines in the past and quickly learned the power of a search engine in generating revenue from little traffic. He says the search engine's mission is "to make philanthropy easy and more accessible." After establishing the "no adults" rule, Kim began recruiting classmates to be part of his "non-profit organization with a startup vibe" team. Kim is unsure about what will happen to Benelab when he graduates, but his goal is to get the company to $100,000 before high school ends.
Willow Tufano
Willow Tufano is a 14-year old girl from Florida who's mom works in real estate. Florida was hit hard by the recession, and houses that once sold for $100,000 were now being sold at auctions for $12,000. Tufano had made some money already by clearing houses and selling the possessions on craigslist. So, when she presented the idea of buying a house for herself, her mom was onboard and gave her the support she needed. They bought a house, and in less than a year they were renting it out for $700 a month. They have already got their initial investment back. Tufano plans on buying her mother completely out in the coming years. With the housing market potentially picking back up again, she may see an amazing appreciation unfold. Not bad for a 14-year old.
Garrett Gee
Garrett Gee turned a lucky guess into a business opportunity when the iPad 2 was about to come out. This university student guessed that once the iPad 2 came out, there soon would be a blog post somewhere listing the top 10 apps for the device. After recognizing there should be easier to use and less clunky QR code software and apps, he made it his mission to be the first one to offer such a product fit for the iPad 2. He quickly got the iPad 2 into the hands of his iOS developer, and after spending two sleepless nights, he had accomplished his goal. His guess about the blog post was also correct. Thanks to his hard work, he made it onto that list. He recruited two fellow classmates, and they launched Scan in February 2011. The team raised $1.5 million from venture capitalists, including Google Ventures, and in the first year Scan earned 10 million downloads. The number of downloads grew quickly, reaching 21 million by October 2011. Gee's next move is said to be the development of a monetization plan.
Cameron Johnson
Cameron Johnson got his start at the age of nine making invitations for his parents' holiday party. Two years later Johnson had made thousands of dollars selling cards through his company he called Cheers and Tears. At age 12, he paid $100 for his sister's 30 Beanie Babies and sold them on eBay for 10 times what he paid. He then purchased the dolls directly from the manufacturer and made a $50,000 profit in less than a year. He used that money to start an Internet business that brought in $3,000 per month in advertising revenue. By the time he was 15, he had formed other businesses with total revenues of $300,000 to $400,000 per month.
Catherine Cook
Fifteen-year-old Catherine Cook and her brother were looking at a yearbook and thought it would be a good idea to build a social media website built around an online version of a person's yearbook. MyYearbook.com was launched and later merged with an ad-supported site that allows users to post and complete online quizzes. By 2006, the site had raised $4.1 million in venture capital funding and had 3 million members worldwide. The site has attracted large advertisers like Disney and ABC. Cooks reports annual sales of "seven figures."
Ashley Qualls
Eight dollars started Qualls' journey that has led her to $70,000 per month in revenue. When MySpace was popular, people complimented Qualls on her MySpace page designs. She posted the designs online for people to purchase and that propelled her to a $70,000 per month revenue with 7 million monthly visitors. She made so much money that she dropped out of school to devote her time to her business. She was offered $1.5 million for her business, but turned it down.
Fraser Doherty
At the age of 14, Doherty began making jams from his grandmother's recipes. As the word got out, he began receiving more orders than he had time to fill. He dropped out of school and rented a 200-person factory a few days each month. In 2007, a high-end U.K. supermarket approached Doherty about selling his jams leading to his products gaining shelf space in 184 stores. By 2007, his company had $750,000 in sales. Since then, his company has continued to grow throughout Europe.
Nothing should be used as an excuse for not pursuing your dreams of being an entrepreneur. From these inspiring young business owners we can see that it doesn't matter how old or how young you are, nor how big or how small your idea is. Entrepreneurship can be achieved by many different demographics. All we have to do to get our business ideas to blossom is find some support and put the work in. We hope this slideshow has inspired you to keep believing in yourself and in your business idea. Good venturing.

First, make sure you are not in Quick Preview mode.
Second, every time Aperture crashes, you should (imho) run "Repair Database". I have _never_ heard of problems caused by running "Repair Database".
As with all digital data, you should never change anything without having at least one full, verified back-up.

The memorable dinner on November 3, at which a loving-cup was presented to Dr. Christian Fenger, was a remarkable and highly interesting event, on a par with the recent ceremonies attending the presentation of testimonial volumes to Dr. A. Jacobi, of New York, and Dr. William H. Welch, of Baltimore. Christian Fenger occupies that same exalted position as these men in the hearts and in the opinion of students, colleagues and the medical profession at large. Former assistants, hospital internes and students of Dr. Fenger for some time felt a desire to bring him some definite token of the high appreciation in which they hold him and his work as a surgeon and a teacher; the idea was taken up officially by the Chicago Medical Society and successfully carried out on a much larger scale than originally contemplated by his most intimate associates. It speaks volumes for the solidarity of

I'm working on a Data Asset Manager and one functionality is obviously file handling. I've established a list of prerequisites for this system and was wondering if some were perhaps redundant. File handling will be done by a PHP script running a shell command (either
mv or
- Need to move/delete/copy file asynchronously.
- Need to check integrity after move/copy e.g. using file md5 hash.
- Needs to handle multiple users handling same files at the same time with proper locks and such.
What I've been wondering is, how much of this is already handled by linux
rm commands. Provided point 1) isn't a necessity, are points 2) and 3) already handled by the commands? Is checking the output and redirecting it to the user all I have to do?
If that's the case I could probably make a daemon to do 1) while still getting the output from the commands.
Any help would be appreciated.
