Easy to install, and appearance is nice. Good product.

Overall it is what i had hoped. Now that it is installed, i'm very happy. will see how it looks long term. good solid product. was a bugger to install on a cold day. just very tight spaces. They did seem to miss the keeper strap from the gas cap. There was no place to connect it to and the old door had a place. I needed to drill an extra hole to attach the keeper. Still, well designed and solid product.

Last I heard/know is that these computers are a learning computer... I would reinstall the factory tune and then disconnect the battery for a half an hour then hook it back up and reinstall the tune and drive the truck somewhat normal to occasionally getting on it. The computer maybe confused with factory tune to aftermarket to cold air to air grabber... not sure if it will work, but worth a try. I noticed improvement with all mine, cold air, muffler, and Diablo. It's an 05 and I used my beltronics and made 10 runs every upgrade. The biggest was the Diablo, getting around 3 tenths. Last I looked Diablo doesn't have a programer for 010ish and up Rams cause they can't "crack" the factory code lock that dodge puts into the computer so "we" can play and adjust parameters! I work at a performance shop and last time I called Diablo for a customer they still had nothing! Maybe these other guys are selling their units, but they are not being recognized by the computer and therefore not giving you more power for better gains!

Around the Town 10/28/2012
West Scranton football fans will have a chance to jog their memories Thursday night when the University of Miami hosts Virginia Tech in an ACC clash that will have the grandson of a West legend on the field for the Hurricanes.
Anthony Chickillo (No. 71) is a sophomore and starting defensive end for the 'Canes, and no one would be prouder of that than his late grandfather, Nick, a standout at West in the late 1940s and Miami's team captain in 1952.
In fact, when Anthony, who has 29 tackles and two sacks in eight games, had his photo taken for his online biography, it was shot in front of the UM Hall of Fame trophy case that contains his grandfather's memorabilia.
And when he signed his National Letter of Intent, the Miami Herald website reported that he wore a T-shirt that read "Third Generation" on the front (his dad Tony was a starter there, too), and on the back read, "Blood is Thicker Than Water."
Asked for his online bio who he'd like to spend a day with, he responded his grandfather, who died in 2000.
So how did the Chickillo bloodline make its way from West to hurricane country?
Former Miami football coach and athletic director Jack Harding had Scranton roots, coaching at St. Thomas College, now the University of Scranton.
Crossfit for cancer
Keystone CrossFit of Dunmore is sponsoring an event that not only promotes a healthy living style, but will be a fundraiser for breast cancer prevention.
Allison and Tim Muenkel, owners of the crossfit center, have dedicated this month to an organization called Barbells for Boobs, a nonprofit that provides funds for resources and free mammograms for low-income and uninsured women.
The gym, which opened in July 2010, is currently collecting donations and each of their athletes has their own fundraising page in an effort to raise $5.000 for the organization.
On Nov. 17, the public is invited to come out and get involved and show its support. Anyone interested can participate in the workout, too.
To find out how you can help, call Keystone CrossFit at 909-8870.
Next Sunday will be the Coaches vs. Cancer breakfast at Scranton High School at 9 a.m.
Guest speaker will be Lehigh University men's basketball coach Brett Reed.
Tickets are $15, and reservations can be made by shooting an email to email@example.com.

Zynga's mobile chief talks about acquisitions, the freemium model and more
with Travis Boatman, senior vice president of mobile at Zynga
Travis Boatman
Zynga is one of the top players in mobile gaming, with its "With Friends" and "-Ville" series regularly topping the list of most downloaded apps for the App Store and Google Play. The social gaming giant shows no signs of slowing down and has gobbled up a slew of companies, including OMGPOP for a reported $180 million earlier this year. At the head of Zynga's mobile business is Senior Vice President Travis Boatman, who joined the company last year shortly before Zynga's IPO. Boatman isn't new to the mobile scene, having previously worked with JAMDAT before it was acquired by Electronic Arts. He later served as vice president of worldwide studios for EA Mobile. Boatman talked with FierceMobileContent Associate Editor Sandhya Raman about Zynga's growing mobile presence, the company's recent acquisitions, and how the purchase of OMGPOP will impact the company.
FierceMobileContent: Zynga has typically sold games in the freemium space. Do you plan to expand into the paid apps market in the future or will you stick with the freemium model?
Boatman: I think we're really focused on the free model and for a couple reasons why. Obviously, the mission of Zynga is to develop games that are free, games that are accessible that you can play with your friends and family, and of course games that are social. And part of the reason that the free and accessible are important to our mission of social is that to have a really social game and to have lots of your friends playing with you; it helps to have it for free so everyone can play it.
The second thing is that games that are really accessible also help and create that sort of social density because if a game is hard to play or too complex you might not be able to have your mom or your cousin or your dad join in that game. So the free and accessible help us drive that social part which is so core to our company. I think we always really believe fundamentally in free.
That said, if our consumers are willing to pay ... we can definitely offer that as well. We do offer paid in conjunction with our free games. For example, with a game like "Words with Friends" we have the free version... but we also offer different methods of payment and if a consumer would like to pay to remove advertising or pay for other features we definitely offer those.
FierceMobileContent: Currently Zynga offers mobile games for iOS and Android based handsets and tablets. Does Zynga have plans to expand to additional mobile platforms like BlackBerry, Windows Phone, etc?
Boatman: Absolutely. I think for us it kind of goes back to the company's singular vision. The way we choose our platforms is whether we believe there's enough people playing on the platform to help with creating that social density.
Imagine if there's a really cool platform out there, but there's just not that many people playing on it. It's going to be hard for you to match with your friends and your family. First, we look at how many people have that platform, and are we able to create a great social experience. If the answer is yes, meaning people have a lot of these platforms on their devices, we really look at how we can create a great social experience. As we look forward, things like the iPad definitely have lots of people on it and people love to play with their friends. We approach products like the iPad with a lot of excitement, and we continue to look forward to these new platforms that have great social density on them.
FierceMobileContent: There's been a big push with the Lumia devices running Windows Phone. Would Zynga consider working with Windows Phone if the user base increases?
Boatman: Absolutely. I'll give you another example, when the Kindle Fire first launched lots of people were getting that device and playing on it. We felt it was important for us to be where our players were so we made some of our games available. I think that worked really well for us. So if lots of players start playing on the Lumia, we'll be there for sure.
After the interview, a Zynga spokesperson clarified: We are interested in being where our players are and would be open to exploring options with other devices and platforms, which could mean Blackberry, Windows Phone, etc. However, we do not have any plans/news to share at this time.
FierceMobileContent: Many of Zynga's titles are available for tablets and handsets. Is there a different strategy involved in designing a game for one vs. another?
Boatman: There really is. We consider them to be very different platforms and very different experiences. When people want to play on their iPad they choose to sit down and play games and consume content. And while people do that on their mobile phones, they also do it in a transient manner. Someone could quickly take out their phone for five minutes and play a game. We design the games differently to take advantage of the iPad's destination play. And those games with the destination play experience generally do better on the iPad.
FierceMobileContent: Last month, Zynga acquired OMGPOP in its largest acquisition to date. How will the addition of Draw Something, as well as the other games OMGPOP has produced for the web over the years, affect Zynga's presence in mobile looking forward?
Boatman: Dan [Porter, CEO of OMGPOP] and team is a great team, so I think one of the reasons we are so excited about them as a team is that they have a very similar vision to what our vision is--which is free games that are really accessible and that are social. And if you think about Draw, it's exactly in line with that. It's a free game that is accessible to everybody. Not only is it accessible about price entry point, [but] it's also a game anybody can play. You can be in any culture, speaking any language and understand and play this game. Children can play with their parents. Kids in high school can play with people who speak different languages in different countries. It's just one of the most accessible games out there. It's social, which just really lines really well with our company. It was just a perfect fit for us.
I also think from a gameplay perspective it's one of these evergreen games; it's a game that I just think is going to be around forever. I think even right now it's getting a--what do you want to call it--a cultural phenomenon heat in the market. It was on Jimmy Kimmel recently and there's been a lot of social buzz about it...I think long-term for us, we're really excited not just about how it's resonating today, but its global appeal. We think that also has a lot of value in its sort of evergreen nature. This is a game that if people adopt devices in the future, this is a game they'd love to play.
FierceMobileContent: Farmville Express is currently Zynga's only HTML5-based mobile title available. Do you plan on expanding titles in the HTML5 realm in the future or will you be sticking with native applications?
Boatman: A couple things. We actually have a couple games and applications that are HTML5 that are out on the market today. We've got Farmville Express, Cityville Express, [and] we've got a game called Mafia War Shakedown, and we've got versions of Words with Friends and [Zynga] Poker and others. I think for us the way we look at HTML5 is not just through the lens of just how it helps our developers create content but also what value it brings to consumers. Looking through that lens it's very different to sort of see the capabilities of HTML5. For example, one of the great things about the Web is the speed. And so what HTML5 allows the team with Farmville Express to do is to react quickly and make very, very fast changes. That's one of the benefits of that technology, and that's a really strong consumer benefit. We do want to keep up with what their experience is on the PC, and technology helps bring that kind of value to consumers.
Note: At the time of the interview, the Zynga website only listed Farmville Express under this category.
FierceMobileContent: Obviously Zynga is a very successful company in the mobile and social gaming arena. Do in-app purchases or in-game ad sales make up a greater proportion of your revenue?
Boatman: Obviously I can't really speak to the breakdown of our revenues or something along those lines, but what I can tell you is that I think the company has done a great job about providing free accessible games to consumers and then to monetize and create a lot of choice for consumers. Advertising is a great way for folks to experience our games and not have to pay through in-app purchases, and then for folks who maybe want to pay for the app version or use in-app purchase and don't want to see ads, can do that that way. Essentially, what we are doing is providing a lot of choices to consumers, and we react to what our players are really looking for. We provide lots of options to our consumers and adjust accordingly.
FierceMobileContent: How does Zynga handle its ad inventory, more specifically do you work with Millennial Media, AdMob or a combination of vendors?
Boatman: I can't really speak to who our partners are or how those relationships work, but of course we are a relatively large global player in the market with lots of different methods by which we do ads globally. So we look for partners that help us provide the best experience for our consumers.
FierceMobileContent: Your two big platforms are mobile and Facebook, and in the past Zynga has stated it would like to move away from relying as heavily on Facebook as a source of revenue. How is the split now, in terms of users and income between Facebook and your mobile ventures?
Boatman: First, I would say that we think Facebook is an amazing partner, so I don't think we have any issues. While I can't really speak to the breakdown of which users are in which platforms, I can tell you that obviously we want to...make sure everything really aligns with this whole free accessible and social part. We really want to make sure that players who want to [can] find players through Facebook. We make that accessible to them so they can find their friends, but we also have games that use anonymous play. There are parts of the world where it's more difficult to access these social networks, so we want to make sure that with people whose phones don't even connect themselves online, they can still play our games.
FierceMobileContent: Some of your biggest games, the "with Friends" series and Draw Something, were the result of acquisitions. Would you say acquiring new talent is a big part of Zynga's expansion process?
Boatman: Absolutely, I think we've got a great mix of titles, some internal, some external if you think about games like Zynga Poker, which is one of the top performing games of all time in mobile is obviously not an acquisition, it's an original title. But, we also have acquisitions that we brought in house because we think they were great fits for our team. That combination is really powerful.
FierceMobileContent: Looking forward, what are some goals Zynga has in 2012, in terms of new products or endeavors?
Boatman: We're always keeping a very excited and watchful eye on what new devices and technologies our players are adopting and moving to. And I think whatever those things are we work really quickly to make sure we bring our products to where the players are and that relates to platforms and technologies and all those things. Which I think is very exciting for our teams internally.
The second thing I will say is that globally as more players are adopting these types of devices, we have a very watchful eye globalizing Zynga on multiple platforms and I think that's something also really exciting that we're thinking about.

Microsoft is giving selected startup companies thousands of dollars worth of development tools and server software at an enormous discount for up to three years.
Microsoft is giving selected startup companies thousands of dollars worth of development tools and server software at an enormous discount for up to three years.
The company is announcing its BizSpark program today at a San Francisco Internet industry conference as a way to get more early-stage companies onto its platform.
"It's all about us creating this fast and easy onramp," said Dan'l Lewin, Microsoft's corporate vice president of strategic and emerging business development.
To participate, startup companies must have less than $1 million in annual revenue, be less than 3 years old and gain the recommendation of a venture-capital firm, business network or a "Microsoft champ" — more than 1,000 company employees around the world focused on software developers.
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Trump, Clinton win Washington state primary

- Reed brother led detectives to bodies believed to be Arlington couple
- Boeing plans hundreds of layoffs in local IT unit
Most Read Stories
Microsoft is partnering with business networks around the world, including the European Business Angel Network, The Indus Entrepreneurs and the National Venture Capital Association to identify startups for the program.
Government economic-development agencies and university incubators will also be able to nominate companies.
Those qualified will get a three-year subscription to the Microsoft Developer Network, which includes tools for building applications on Microsoft's platforms. The program also includes full production access to Microsoft server software needed by companies building hosted applications.
Lewin said Microsoft will not require participating companies to use its software exclusively.
"The commitment we have to choice and interoperability stands firm here," he said.
When the startup exits the program, by staying in business for three years, being acquired or surpassing the annual revenue limit, they will owe Microsoft a $100 fee and transition to the normal licensing fees for the software they continue to use.
Lewin said BizSpark is broader than existing free software programs Microsoft offers Web developers and startups.
Participants will also get access to a preview of Microsoft's new cloud-computing platform, Windows Azure.

Jannicelli leaves Moss Adams to join Burr PilgerCalifornia homeowners no longer have to pay state income tax on debt forgiven in a short sale, foreclosure or loan modification, aligning the state with the federal law.
Senate Bill 401 says that for debt forgiven on a loan secured by a "qualified principal residence," borrowers are exempt from both federal and state income tax consequences.
Federal exemption is for debt up to $2 million, and the California exemption is for debt up to $800,000 and forgiven debt up to $500,000.
The definition of "qualified principal residence" indebtedness is debt incurred in acquiring, constructing or substantially improving a principal residence.

Comparing Bash with the Windows Vista shell
Microsoft's new PowerShell relies on .NET framework libraries and thus has access to a treasure trove of functions and objects. How does PowerShell measure up to traditional shells like Bash?
Both Bash and the Windows Vista PowerShell include commands for navigating directories, managing files, and launching other programs. System administration is an important duty for the shell, and Bash and PowerShell are equipped to help manage systems from the command prompt. Whereas Bash typically relies on a combination of newer tools and classic Unix utilities, the PowerShell has its own set of command-line programs. Windows refers to PowerShell commands as cmdlets. The PowerShell cmdlet called Get-Process is a counterpart to ps, and the cmdlet Get-Content corresponds to less. PowerShell differs significantly from previous Windows command shells. In
this article, I look at how Windows Vista PowerShell compares with Bash.

Funding via MAXIMA Microfinance Plc
Peat S. would like to take out a loan of US$ 500 to fix her leaking roof.
Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.
Success!! The loan was 100% repaid

Buying Google and Yahoo search terms BP's best bet to protect its brand under current circumstances
By Matthew Whiteway | 11 June 2010 |

>> Click here to read full review
Where most rugged cameras seem like something you'd throw in the glove compartment of your 1-ton truck, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX30 has a thinner, more stylish appearance. It has an ultra-slim metal body that should be familiar to anyone who has seen a Sony T-series camera in the last few years (non-waterproof models are no longer manufactured), complete with a sliding lens cover and huge touchscreen display.
The TX30 has most of the traits of other high-end rugged cameras, with one big exception: it has no GPS.
The two standout features here are the touchscreen display and Dual Recording feature. We'll dip into those a bit more later in the review.
|The Cyber-shot DSC-TX30 has one of the longer zoom lenses in the rugged camera group, with a range of 26-130mm (5X).
As with most of its peers, the lens has a 'slow' maximum aperture range of F3.5-4.8. Those LED lamps around the lens can be used to illuminate a close-up subject.
The Cyber-shot DSC-TX30 has a design that's very similar to its T-series predecessors. That means that the body is extraordinarily thin (just 15.4mm / 0.6 in) and made entirely of metal. Because of its size and relatively light weight, the TX30 doesn't feel quite as rugged as its competitors, but we aren't about to drop it on the floor to find out how it will hold up.
The TX30 has the same sliding lens cover design from earlier T-series models that some people love, and others can't stand. This door doubles as a power switch, in addition to protecting the lens.
One big frustration we had in the real world with that sliding door is that water and sand tend to get caught under it. Since there's no way to actually get under that door, you cannot clean it. If you close the door, which you'll want to do eventually, the water and the sand gets transferred to the top part of the camera, around the lens and flash.
|The TX30 is indeed very slim, but we didn't like how all the buttons felt the same. in addition, the zoom controller is small and awkward.
|One big problem with the TX30's huge touchscreen is that there's nowhere to put your thumb. That makes it very easy to accidentally press something on it.
The location of your thumb isn't the only thing to watch out for. The fingers on your left hand can easily end up in the photo if you try to support the camera, since the lens is placed on the edge of the camera body.
|The TX30 has a large 3.3-inch OLED display on its backside, and absolutely zero buttons.
The screen is gorgeous when indoors - with vivid color, a wide viewing angle, and 1.23 million dots. This display is far from perfect though, as you'll find out below.
One thing that nobody will argue with is how sharp photos are on the TX30's widescreen OLED display. This screen has over 1.23 million dots, though you'll only get to take advantage of all that resolution when shooting or viewing photos at 16:9. Unfortunately, this OLED display - which is so appealing indoors - falls short when you head outdoors. In bright sunlight, visibility is very poor, and you'll need to max out the brightness in order to see anything. Results are similar underwater.
Sony's biggest mistake on the TX30 - as well as its predecessor - is making a 'tough' camera with a capacitive touchscreen display. While it works just fine above water, offering touch focus, menus, and the ability to 'swipe' through photos in playback mode. The problem is that becomes completely useless once you get it wet. Want to change a setting, such as the flash or white balance, while snorkeling? Sorry, you're out of luck. Even if the camera has a few drops of water on the display, it will be unresponsive or not act is intended. In other words, this camera is not for serious underwater use. If Sony put some physical buttons on the camera - or used a pressure-sensitive touchscreen, the story would be very different.
One final thing to mention about the OLED display on the TX30 is that it's a magnet for scratches. We were pretty gentle on our TX30 sample, and it had numerous scratches on the display - and we're not the only one to have this issue. Some of the lettering on the front of the camera also started to rub off after a few weeks of usage.
|The TX30 has a very small flash, which has a range of 0.1 - 3.3 m at wide-angle and 0.6 - 2.4 m at telephoto. That's at Auto ISO, which you may not want to use in low light.
Above the flash is the AF-assist lamp which, as its name implies, helps the camera focus in low light.
The DSC-TX30 has an extraordinarily weak flash. The maximum range listed above is at Auto ISO, which tops out at ISO 1600 - a sensitivity you probably want to avoid. If you drop the ISO down to a more reasonable 400, the flash range is just 0.8 m at wide-angle and 0.6 m at telephoto - not good at all.
|As with all weatherproof cameras, there's a rubber gasket that keeps water and dust from getting inside the camera.
Just because a camera looks delicate, it doesn't mean that it can't take a beating. Sony says that the TX30 can spend up to an hour underwater at depths of up to 10 meters (33 feet). It can be dropped from 1.5 meters (about 5 feet) if a bout of clumsiness strikes. As you might expect, the TX30 is also dustproof.
The Cyber-shot TX30 is very much a point-and-shoot camera, with very little manual control. It has a pair of Auto modes, plenty of scene modes, and the requisite collection of 'Picture Effects'. The only manual controls are for exposure compensation and white balance. Unlike many of its competitors, there's no underwater white balance mode on the TX30.
|All of the items in the 'margins' of the photo composition screen are shortcuts to camera options. The items on the left can be customized to your tastes.
|The main menu has large 'buttons' that cover the most important shooting items. There's a more conventional setup menu available by pressing the 'suitcase' icon at top-left.
The Intelligent Auto mode is nice, with automatic scene selection, but the Superior Auto mode goes a step further. It'll still pick a scene mode for you, but widens the selection to include three 'layered' modes: Hand-held Twilight, Anti Motion Blur, and Backlight Correction HDR. Each of these modes take several exposures in a row and then combines them into a single image, with the aim of improving contrast or reducing blur. You'll find a demo of the handy Backlight Correction HDR feature in our full review of the TX30.
The DSC-TX30 is able to record video at 1080/60i with stereo sound, for up to 29 minutes using the AVCHD codec. While the video is very smooth, you'll notice the problem with interlaced videos: rows of horizontal lines, especially on moving subjects. The good news is that you can "deinterlace" videos using software on your Mac or PC (we used Handbrake with pleasing results). If you want to save some space on your memory card, you can opt for a lower bit rate (17Mbps vs 24Mbps), or a smaller resolution (1440 x 1080).
If you'd rather using something other than AVCHD - which can be difficult to share without editing it first - the TX30 also offers the MPEG-4 codec. You won't be able to record Full HD video, with the highest resolution being 1440 x 1080 (at 30 fps).
The optical zoom can be used while you're recording, and the camera will keep things in focus as your subject moves around. The image stabilizer is also available, with a special 'Active' mode to reduce severe shake. A wind cut filter is available for shooting outdoors, though it wasn't a huge help, as you'll see in the sample on the next page.
Another neat trick the camera can perform is to take up to ten 13 megapixel stills while simultaneously recording video - even at the highest resolution.
The TX30 doesn't offer the ability to trim or split movies, which is a shame because that's always handy.

This publication is based on data obtained from two surveys. The bachelor's and master's degree data were obtained from universe institution surveys of the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), U.S. Department of Education. Data on doctorates are from the Survey of Earned Doctorates, a universe survey of individual doctorate recipients; it is sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and five other Federal agencies.
These data cover earned degrees conferred in the aggregate United States, which comprises the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories and outlying areas (American Samoa, the former Canal Zone, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, and the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands). Degree data are compiled for a 12-month period, July through June of the following year. For convenience, degrees in a given July-through-June period are referred to by the year in which the period ended; e.g., 2001 means the 12-month period ending June 2001.
It is difficult to establish a completely consistent series of degree data over a long period of time because of changes in definitions, instructions, and field classifications, including the introduction of new specialties. The data for earlier years are presented as consistently as possible with the classifications used in the Classification of Instructional Programs (Washington, DC, Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, 1991). See the Technical Notes for further information on the field classifications used.
The publication focuses on degrees in science and engineering fields, and, where appropriate, the data are reclassified according to NSF field categories. It should be noted that data on engineering technology degrees and degrees in the health/medical sciences are not included in the science and engineering totals here. The time series for this report begins in 1966. Note that detailed national data were not released by NCES for the academic year ending 1999.

Four days ago I started seeing error messages in the Application log of one
of my servers. The event ID is 1023 with a source of Perflib. The message
is "Windows cannot load extensible counter DLL Tcpip, the first DWORD in data
section is the Windows error code." and the error code data is "0000: 7e 00
00 00". Initially the message was logged 17 time in one second then it
slowed (relatively speaking) to once per minute.
The OS is Server 2003 Sp2. The server is running Lotus Domino 7.0.3
messaging edition. No particular changes were made just prior to the start
of the errors. Microsoft patches are up to date. We applied the latest last
night with no effect on the errors.
I've seen the posts related to this error for SQL Server counters that talk
about adjusting the security for the library files and also article that
talks about manually rebuilding the Perflib library values. I would gladly
adjust the security settings if I knew which files to adjust. I would be a
little less willing to rebuild the library values.
I would appreciate any suggestions about how best to address this.

Tough day, struggling here
Thursday, February 18, 2010
We've had stomach flu pass through our house, and everybody came through fine except for my daughter who has really been ill. I stayed home from work today to take care of her, and to try to rehydrate her, because when I took her to the doctor yesterday she said that she may need IV electrolytes if things didn't improve.
I found out that in my absence my best at-work friend had a seizure and was taken to the hospital. I know I shouldn't feel guilty, but I do feel terribly guilty. I know that there is nothing I could have done to prevent this, but it really has me upset that I wasn't there for her.
I think part of the reason I have ended up at my highest weight of 257lbs was my constant need to take care of others, and my lack of ability to care for myself. I'm a mom, and a nurse, so sometimes there is no way around this simple reality, but I think I need help from some of the other sparkers on how to take care of myself when those around me are having troubles. I am really struggling today, and I am so afraid of emotional eating, and slipping back into my pattern of putting myself last, that I haven't eaten anything today because I just can't come up with the right idea.

[[hugs]] Wisdom says that in order to take care of others, you need to take care of yourself first. Of course, that's easier said than done, isn't it? You made the right decision today to take care of your daughter because you knew she was ill. There was no way you could have known that your friend would have a seizure and, besides, you aren't the only (hopefully) in her life. Let others care for her, you had other priorities.
And that's what it boils down to--prioritizing. Now, as you took care of your daughter, you could also have been taking care of yourself. Relaxing by reading a good book while she was sleeping, something that made you happy. Or maybe the two of you curled up on the sofa, watching a happy movie, having good mommy/daughter time. Making something healthy and delicious and eating it slowly and carefully, mindful that YOU are taking care of YOU.
There are lots of simple ways to take care of yourself that don't take a lot of time or effort. Think about them, make a list of them and DO them.
You deserve it.

Estarta Solutions receives CEO of Strukton Systems
Jordan-based information technology (IT) company Estarta Solutions has met with Strukton Systems to further discuss the expansion of the business partnership, including joint ventures.
"Such ventures could be focused on applying Estarta's pattern recognition and wireless communication technologies to create transportation systems, as well as a focus on the Middle East market for Strukton," states CEO of Estarta, Hatem Zeine.
Strukton Group, one of the top 10 construction firms in the Netherlands is active in concrete construction and hydraulic engineering, rail infrastructure, utility construction and building and maintenance, internationally.

On the DVD
On the DVD
This month's DVD features two great distributions, Fedora 19 Security Spin and Kali Linux.
On the DVD
Fedora 19 Security Spin, 64-bit
The Fedora 19 Security Spin [1] is meant to provide "a safe test environment to work on security auditing, forensics, system rescue, and teaching security testing methodologies." The Security Spin uses the lightweight LXDE desktop with a customized menu containing all the tools you'll need to perform security testing or to rescue compromised systems. Run from a Live disc or from a USB stick, Fedora's Security Lab sets up a safe environment for your tests.
Kali Linux 1.0.4, 64-bit
BackTrack Linux has been reborn as Kali Linux, "The most advanced penetration testing distribution, ever" [4]. Kali has transformed from a Live Linux distro to an installed distro and has moved from an Ubuntu to a Debian basis, with the lightweight Xfce desktop, if you prefer a GUI. This move gives Kali access to the exceptional Debian repositories. Now a Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS)-compliant system, Kali lets you start any application anywhere, rather than navigating through
/pentest. The Offensive Security team is putting extra effort into making sure their tools are Debian compliant and completely up to date.

Sallisaw police chief charged with embezzlement
SALLISAW — The elected chief of police in Sallisaw is charged with embezzling public funds after he admitted to taking $80 in petty cash last year.
Chief Shaloa Edwards, 51, was arrested Friday and has posted bail.
The felony embezzlement charges come after city officials forwarded an internal investigation to the Sequoyah County district attorney's office in January.
During a Jan. 17 interview with investigators, Edwards admitted to investigators "he took the money (but) that he didn't think it was wrong," an affidavit filed with the case states.
"He stated that he had taken money on three occasions, once 40 dollars and twice 20 dollars," Sallisaw police Capt. Beau Gabbert wrote in the affidavit. "I asked him if he knew taking public funds was a crime and he stated that he didn't think of it that way."
The investigation started after a civilian employee of the Sallisaw Police Department reported that Edwards had requested $20 from the petty cash drawer and then later left an IOU for $40 inside the cash box. The IOU was signed "Shaloa," records show.
Gabbert also wrote that he questioned city employee Pat Allen, who was in charge of the petty cash drawer, and that her statements conflicted with things Edwards had told others.
"I asked her if she ever loaned anyone money from the drawer and she stated, 'No,' that she was not going to lose her job for anyone," Gabbert wrote.
"I asked her what about the chief (Edwards) and she stated, 'No,' that she never had nor would she."
Unlike most police chiefs in Oklahoma, Edwards was elected. City officials had to amend city code to strip Edwards of his supervisory powers, which they did in February.
Last month, Edwards filed a lawsuit against the city of Sallisaw and City Manager Bill Baker, claiming the Sallisaw City Commission sidestepped the city's charter when his powers were taken away. Baker now has police supervisory powers.
"It failed to recognize that it could not, consistent with the Sallisaw City Charter, eliminate the position of police chief at its whim," the lawsuit states, "or transfer the duties of police chief to anyone other than the duly elected police chief."
During a recent interview with The Oklahoman, Baker said city officials had received complaints from six or seven police officers regarding Edwards' ability to perform his duties as police chief. He said problems at the Sallisaw Police Department have "really come to a head within the last year."
"Just in general, part of their complaints is retaliatory action taken against some of the officers … favoritism," he said in February. "From what I'm hearing from a lot them, they've just lost confidence in the chief. Morale is very, very low."
Recusal granted in case
Even though Edwards is charged in Sequoyah County, he is being prosecuted by Jeff Smith, district attorney of LeFlore and Latimer counties.
Sequoyah County District Attorney Brian Kuester said his office was granted a recusal by the state Attorney General's office. He said such recusals are normal when a local law enforcement official is charged with a crime.
"Just because of the close working relationship I have with Chief Edwards, as well as the officers involved," Kuester said, "I just didn't think it would be appropriate for me to decide."
The charge filed against Edwards shows that he could receive between a year and 10 years in prison if convicted.
The law also allows a judge to order Edwards to pay "triple the amount in money embezzled."

Purchasing Procedures By Dollar Amount
- No competition (i.e., quotes, bidding) need be shown for State Contract items or items purchased from New York State Preferred Sources. New York State Finance Law §169 allows form, function and utility requirements to be considered for preferred source procurements. If a preferred source is to be rejected, that source must be given prior written notice with an explanation and an opportunity to respond.
- Multiple purchases of similar non-contract items made by one office or unit within twelve consecutive months beginning on the date of the first purchase are considered a single purchase in determining total dollar amount and appropriate purchasing procedure (Office of the New York State Comptroller Web Guide ).
- Membership and Subscriptions should not exceed one year. All materials and benefits received from the membership or subscription are the property of Farmingdale State College and should be made available to all employees. (Office of the New York State Comptroller Web Guide).
- "A state employee who directs a vendor to start providing goods or services without an approved contract may be personally liable for any indebtedness that is ultimately held to be owed to the contractor" (Office of the New York State Comptroller Web Guide).
- When state funds and non-state funds are combined to make one purchase, state procedures apply to the total procurement amount. Even if only one dollar of the purchase is state funded, the state procedure applies.
- When a procurement spans multiple years (e.g., software licenses, maintenance agreements, etc.), state procedures apply to the total procurement amount over the entire term. For example, a three year maintenance contract at $20,000 per year requires advertising since the total procurement is $60,000.
- When vendors submit contracts to campus personnel for procurements such contracts, including terms and conditions, must be reviewed by Campus Counsel prior to signature.
Up To $2,500
Requester may choose vendor without obtaining quotes from competition.
Requester may use the New York State Procurement card for most non-travel expenditures.
$2,500.01 To $50,000
Award is based upon reasonableness of price or comparative quotations. Written documentation of reasonableness of price or written quotations are required. If there is no competition available, a sole source justification or reasonableness justification with requisition or requisition number written on it is required. All documentation is to be kept within the department initiating the requisition. Note: $20,000 and up construction and construction related contracts must advertise in the New York State Contract Reporter.
Reasonableness of Price can be determined by (but not limited to):
- Comparing the quoted price with the price for the same or similar item or services within the last six months.
- Comparing the quoted price with prices in various wholesale/retail publications.
- Reviewing the commodity and/or service that was previously accepted by the College at a similar price.
- Comparing the price as offered with the current market value of the same product.

Microsoft and TomTom Smoke Patent Peace Pipe
The Redmond giant and the Dutch navigation company have agreed on a settlement whereby TomTom will pay Microsoft for the use of some of its patents.
The eight Microsoft patents that are part of the agreement relate to car navigation and file management systems, according to a Microsoft press release. TomTom agrees to remove two of its file management functions covered by Microsoft's FAT LFN patents over the next two years. On the other side, TomTom will allow Microsoft to use technology in four patents that they claimed Microsoft violated in a countersuit. During the five-year term that covers past and future sales, Microsoft will not need to compensate TomTom. Neither of the two former rivals disclosed the amount TomTom agreed to pay.
Peter Spours, director of IP strategy and transactions at TomTom, had this to say: "This agreement puts an end to the litigation between our two companies. It is drafted in a way that ensures TomTom's full compliance with its obligations under the GPLv2, and thus reaffirms our commitment to the open source community."

That day is a Tuesday. This means the company is quite proud of what they have to tell the market. This gives prime week coverage and watch it sky rocket on the 27th and 28th. Be patient and buy now when the blood is in the street from the shorts.
absolutely ridiculous assumption... at LEAST you refrained from stating this is an EARNINGS call.
Do you remember the post about some option CALL transaction meant "SOMEBODY ABSOLUTELY KNEW SOMETHING!!" ? Well your conclusions go hand in hand. Go back to watching your Seinfeld DVDs... not that there is anything wrong with that...
I guess we will find out then MrMglue. I know you need to some luck because the shorts are behind the 8 ball.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
perhaps they did know something; in hindsight, the 42k in options very well could have been a hedge to protect a large short position; as they options xpired worthless and the stock tanked, the big short position made more than enuff on their short to cover the 42k insurance policy
doesn't matter anymore; any pr's from the company which i think is unlikely and then we'll know everything on the call
as said, they're betting the company on this call
timing does point to good news; pr states that the earnings will come out earlier so i assume the earnings report will come out the morning of the 26th, the market will have all day to trade off that report and anticipate the call; if you didn't know any better, you would think they have some good news and they want maximum impact from it as well
the float on the stock will be

Petraeus's resignation has raised new questions about Benghazi. That is thanks to a report by Israel's Arutz Sheva, which found a speech that Paula Broadwell, author of "All In: The Education of General David Petraeus," delivered Oct. 26. Broadwell, who "was allegedly improperly involved with" Petraeus, spoke at her alma mater, the University of Denver.
Here's the pertinent quote from the Broadwell speech:
"The fact that came out today [in a report by Fox News Channel] is that the ground forces there at the CIA annex, which is different from the consulate, were requesting reinforcements.
"They were requesting the--it's called the C-in-C's [Commander in Chief's] In Extremis Force--a group of Delta Force operators, our very, most talented guys we have in the military. They could have come and reinforced the consulate and the CIA annex. Now, I don't know if a lot of you have heard this but the CIA annex had actually taken a couple of Libyan militia members prisoner, and they think that the attack on the consulate was an attempt to get these prisoners back. It's still being vetted.
"The challenging thing for Gen. Petraeus is that in his new position, he's not allowed to communicate with the press. So he's known all of this--they had correspondence with the CIA station chief in Libya, within 24 hours they kind of knew what was happening."
As Foreign Policy's Blake Hounshell notes, "a CIA spokeswoman disputed the Fox News account at the time, saying, 'no one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate.' "
Hounshell observes that Broadwell's "most interesting revelation is her claim that the CIA was holding several Libyan militia members prisoner, which may have prompted the attack." The Daily Beast's Eli Lake reports the agency denies this: "The CIA has not had detention authority since January 2009, when Executive Order 13491 was issued. Any suggestion that the Agency is still in the detention business is uninformed and baseless."
A well-placed Washington source confirms to Fox News that there were Libyan militiamen being held at the CIA annex in Benghazi and that their presence was being looked at as a possible motive for the staged attack on the consulate and annex that night.
According to multiple intelligence sources who have served in Benghazi, there were more than just Libyan militia members who were held and interrogated by CIA contractors at the CIA annex in the days prior to the attack. Other prisoners from additional countries in Africa and the Middle East were brought to this location.
The Libya annex was the largest CIA station in North Africa, and two weeks prior to the attack, the CIA was preparing to shut it down. Most prisoners, according to British and American intelligence sources, had been moved two weeks earlier.
Griffin concludes with the question: "What was the CIA really doing in Benghazi . . ., and who in the White House knew exactly what the CIA was up to?" Did the CIA act in contravention of the executive order, and if so, did the president approve? Did the order create a need to keep up appearances that led to the deaths of Americans in the field?

"You always have to give life the benefit of the doubt," says Dr Tom Dening, medical director of the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Foundation Trust. It was psychiatrists employed by that trust who decided to give 59-year-old bipolar sufferer David Woods an emergency liver transplant after he'd taken an overdose of painkillers in December 2006, thereby saving his life. Three years on, Woods' daughter Nadine is insisting that "the benefit of the doubt" was not theirs to give, and has accused Addenbrooke's Hospital of "wasting" the organ.
"My dad has not had a day's happiness since the operation," says the 29-year-old. "It is shameful that a donor has wasted his liver, and it's horrible to think someone else could have been enjoying a healthy life." Her father, she adds, now has no quality of life to speak of: brain-damaged following the overdose, he is in need of twenty-four hour care. Alarmingly, the family have told reporters that they have considered taking him to the assisted suicide clinic, Dignitas, in Switzerland.
But so long as the groundswell is against euthanasia, and the state has a duty to keep people alive, can we blame doctors for their instinctive reaction to save a life? Could this family tragedy have been avoided?
Yes, says Professor Roger Williams, director of the Institute of Hepatology, University College and one-time physician of George Best. "What is surprising is that the family do not appear to have been consulted," he tells me. "When we first started conducting liver transplants in paracetamol overdose cases, most were young people without a history of psychiatric illness. Very few would be given a transplant within 24 hours without agreement from the family."
The use of a psychiatric assessor, he explains, is often unfeasible with a semi-conscious patient, psychiatric records providing a far better indication of their mental state. "Although the family cannot determine whether the patient should be treated, they should have been approached. With chronically ill psychiatric patients who have repeatedly tried to commit suicide, the decision to go ahead with the transplant is much more difficult. In this case, I would say that the psychiatric assessor is the person one might point a finger at."
Imogen Shillito, director of Information and Education at the British Liver Trust, says the debate over the David Woods case could damage the chances of the 300 or so people in Britain currently on waiting lists for liver transplants.
"What panics us with this case is how it affects donor confidence," she explains. "We need to work doubly hard to reassure people that organs do go to people in dire need, who are not alcoholics, and are going to live for at least five years after the surgery. I find it puzzling that these things weren't picked up on when the clinician reviewed David Woods' notes. It is very unusual for someone to be given a transplant when they have tried to commit suicide several times in the past."
For the last three years, the number of liver donors in Britain has stayed roughly the same – between 620 and 630 a year – but the need for them is growing at a terrifying rate. "Clinicians are being forced to make tougher and tougher decisions," adds Shillito. "But perhaps the saddest thing about this case is that somebody who has been given the chance of a new life is not happy with it. That is tragic for both Mr Woods and his family."

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
