A legal argument that could alter the landscape of state mental health policy is headed for the state Supreme Court.
The debate started in Pierce County Superior Court 14 months ago. It revolves around a practice called psychiatric boarding: holding people with mental illness in hospital emergency departments for indefinite periods without mental-health treatment.
Is boarding legal?
Court Commissioner Craig Adams answered with a qualified no in February 2013, ruling from the bench of civil commitment court at Western State Hospital in Lakewood. Adams found that holding people in emergency rooms solely because of overcrowding at mental-health treatment centers violates state and federal law.
"I don't think you can do psychiatric boarding just because there is no room at the inn," Adams said at the time.
Superior Court Judge Kathryn Nelson upheld Adams' ruling last summer. That triggered an appeal to Division II of the Washington Court of Appeals and a string of briefings.
Wednesday, the appeals court kicked the argument to the state Supreme Court for direct review.Psychiatric boarding has mushroomed across the state in recent years, following a series of deep budget cuts to the mental-health system and a corresponding reduction in psychiatric beds.
The News Tribune reported on the ongoing issue as it wound through the courts.
As a result, mental patients languish in emergency departments for days, weeks and sometimes months against their will, without the mental-treatment guaranteed to them under state and federal law. Hospitals provide medical treatment when necessary, but they are generally not equipped to provide mental-health treatment.
Defense attorneys representing the patients argue that boarding violates the civil rights of patients. Attorneys for the state and Pierce County argue that hospitals provide a safe, secure place for people with mental illness, despite the lack of direct treatment.
The state's attorneys also suggest that if boarding is restricted, patients would be forced onto the streets with no care at all.Wednesday's decision sets the stage for several possible outcomes, yet to be determined. The Supreme Court could call for oral arguments and additional briefing, issue a ruling without waiting, or decline to rule, among other options.

Mexico's Pension Funds Positioned for Explosive Growth
Chen, I-Chun, Global Finance
Growth of the private pension system, or Afore, market in Mexico has been robust since it was launched in 1997 and will likely pick up even greater momentum over the next few years as the new government tries to reform the system. According to figures from the National Retirement Savings System Commission, or Consar, the government-run pension regulatory agency, a total of 17 million workers were signed up with an Afore at the end of August 2000, with total funds reaching more than 240 billion pesos ($25 billion). Eduardo Silva, president of Amafore, the country's Afore association, and general director of Afore Profuturo GNP, estimates More assets accounted for about 3% of Mexico's gross domestic product in 2000.That proportion will likely grow by one percentage point a year, he says.
The growth of the Afores business is already outpacing the deposit rate of banks, says Jorge Colin, investor relations officer at Banorte in Monterrey. "We know it will become the second largest banking business in Mexico in the long term," says Colin. "Currently, assets under management [by Afores] are about 10% of total deposits in Mexico. In five years, it could represent 16% to 17% of total deposits."
However, much of the future growth in the Afores market depends on whether there will be an expansion in investment instruments. Right now investments are limited to government debt. Industry insiders say current talks with Consar will likely yield an announcement in the first half of 2001 permitting pension investments in capital markets. Not only will that pique consumer interest, but also the subsequent additional volume to the Mexican Stock Exchange would be a much-needed shot in the arm. Other possible investment areas include mortgagebacked securities, corporate bonds, and infrastructure bonds.
That would be good news for banks as well. "It would help balance our position for long-term financing," says Colin. Stiff, he cautions, it may take two to three years to create enough investment volume to get funds fully set up in the capital markets.
Another area that could light a fuse for explosive growth in the Afores market is a possible integration of public sector pensions. The pension system for the country's six million public sector workers is woefully under-funded and virtually bankrupt, says Ernesto O'Farrill, president of the economic analysis house Bursts metrica in Mexico City. …

What the numbers are showing us
How average people are building great wealth
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
survey released in February
by EverBank found that more than half of individual investors are
looking for alternatives to traditional U.S. stocks, bonds, and
bank deposits this year. The question you have to ask yourself is:
Should the emerging popularity of alternative investments make you
more attracted to them, or should it scare you off?
Investor psychology is a fascinating topic. Some theorize that
there is a collective wisdom in the actions of large numbers of
people, while others point to how mass popularity has fed some epic
investment bubbles over the years. In other words, you can look at
popular opinion as a tip toward a new direction, or as a contrary
interviewed 300 individual investors, and found that 52 percent
them are looking at alternatives to traditional U.S. equities in
2013, with precious metals and international stocks being the most
popular choices. Many of these investors are also looking to juice
up the cash portion of their portfolios as well. With savings
account interest rates mired under 1 percent, investors expressed
interest in international bonds, currency trading and
real estate
as possible income sources.
As you decide what to make of the popular opinions expressed in
a survey like this, here are some things to keep in mind:
The EverBank survey is an interesting reflection of popular
investor sentiment. It shows that people are fed up with low bank
rates and are concerned about
the risk of U.S. stocks
-- both perfectly understandable feelings. Whether you should
follow these frustrated investors into alternatives, however,
should depend more on your objective analysis of the growth
potential and current valuation of those alternatives, and less on
which way the crowd happens to be running at the moment.

A Winning Recipe for Volunteerism: A Program in North Carolina Takes College Students, Mixes in Individuals with Disabilities and Adds Park Staff Support to Create a Winning Combination
Stroud, Suzanne, Miller, Kimberly D., Schleien, Stuart J., Adams, Bill, Parks & Recreation
How many hours did your staff spend spreading mulch or pine needles? Does your agency need to clear a new trail, but lack the staff time to get it accomplished? Are citizens asking to volunteer in your park, but you lack the resources to effectively manage them on projects? Are you being asked to expand the successful programs that you currently offer? Has it also been suggested that you serve a more diverse population? Why not begin to address all of these issues at once.
The Greensboro (NC) Parks and Recreation department found a way to do just that. Instead of managing individual volunteers, the agency designed programs where volunteering was the targeted recreational activity. The recreational needs of individuals with and without disabilities are being met, while agencies are reaping the benefits of hundreds of volunteer hours through this inclusive park program.
The traditional model of engaging volunteers focuses exclusively on meeting the needs of the agency. By matching individual volunteers with needed tasks within the agency, short-term outcomes for the facility are realized. However, if volunteers' needs are not also met, they are likely to become short-term visitors. In addition, managing volunteers who support your park can be a time-consuming endeavor.
Think about structuring a recreation program where volunteering is the essence of the experience. Through this unique and active recreational pursuit, participants are likely to see increases in skill development, self-esteem, social networking, sense of community and empowerment. Extraordinary outcomes result when a group of volunteers become part of a team of individuals working toward a common goal. A sense of camaraderie and belonging develops as individuals work side-by-side with other altruistic citizens.
Add an additional layer to this "volunteering as recreation" strategy. Actively invite individuals with disabilities to join your volunteer program; that is people who have rarely, if ever, been asked to give back to their communities. Despite comprising approximately 20 percent of the U.S. population, researchers suggest that individuals with disabilities make up only about 5 percent of our nation's volunteer pool. An inclusive volunteer program brings individuals with disabilities into the volunteer service arena and a "win-win-win" situation begins to evolve.
What is inclusive volunteering?
Volunteering empowers people with disabilities to serve others, rather than being the recipients of volunteer services. Inclusive volunteering brings individuals with and without disabilities together to improve their communities by placing them in positions to be recognized as community assets with many gifts and talents to share. It is beneficial to volunteers and nonprofit agencies alike. Volunteers with and without disabilities are rewarded with feelings of empowerment and increased community participation. Organizations served by these volunteers also typically notice a transformation in its staff's view of people of varying abilities. Agency staff becomes focused on the abilities of volunteers rather than their limitations, concurrently noting improvements in their agencies' services.
Preparing and Implementing the Inclusive Volunteer Program
The Department of Recreation, Tourism, and Hospitality Management of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) collaborated with the Greensboro Parks and Recreation Department to establish an inclusive volunteer program. This program brought together high school students with developmental disabilities and students without disabilities from UNCG. For the past five years, students with and without disabilities have been meeting together weekly for two hours to volunteer in various parks during 10-week periods. The volunteers completed meaningful projects including trail building, mulching, picking up litter, weeding and building birdhouses, bridges, gates and signs. …

Neither Micro nor Soft
Green, Paula L., Global Finance
Software titan redefines the term "market dominance."
Whether dazzling computer users with yet another Windows operating system or irritating software rivals and federal trustbusters with its attempts to crush the competition, Microsoft has grabbed headlines and pocketbooks over the past 15 years as it rode the global technology wave to the top.
The software company founded 27 years ago by William H. Gates III and Paul G. Allen in Albuquerque, New Mexico, has become a household name that people frequently either love or hate. Detractors say Microsoft's dominance and unrestrained aggressiveness make it a dangerous player that could stamp out innovation while gaining a stranglehold on the information technology sector-even as technology's importance to the US economy keeps growing. Others say the company's innovations have helped the industry and consumers by making computers and the Internet easier to use.
"Unfortunately, Microsoft has become politicized. And they are very competitive," says Jim Lewis, director of the technology and policy program at The Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, DC. "But they took a product that was only used by computer specialists and turned it into a mass market product, something that kids could use.They're the GM of the Internet age."
Fans and foes alike admire a company that has seen its annual net revenue jump more than tenfold to $25 billion over the past decade and net income skyrocket to $7. …

Board sets sights on housing
Tunica County Housing Project Inc. once again made its way on to the agenda at the Board of Supervisors' meeting on June 7.
John Schmidt, the director of the North Delta Regional Housing Authority, appeared before the board to answer questions about the local housing program. Supervisors asked about the program's procedures on how a home is rehabbed and the application process.
Schmidt explained once an application is approved, home owners are asked to put down everything that needs to be fixed in a home.
"We tell people to bid on it as if everything could be done," Schmidt said.
From there, everything that can be corrected before meeting the $25,000 limit is fixed. The homeowner signs off on what will be fixed before any work is done, Schmidt noted.

I have known Scott Gullickson for several years and have worked with him in a professional capacity as well.
During this time, I have found Gullickson to be reputable, trustworthy and a valuable asset. I am confident that Gullickson will prove to be a tremendous asset to the Ridgefield School District board.
Gullickson's attention to detail, high degree of integrity, and professionalism have garnered praise and recognition.
In addition to his excellent track record, he has always shown dedication and ownership to every facet that he is involved with, and that is why Gullickson is the right choice for our community.
I encourage voters to re-elect him for the District 5 position on the Ridgefield school board.

3rd whole 30 and STILL not losing weight - what am I doing wrong?
Posted 09 January 2013 - 02:43 PM
Here are the stats:
I crossfit about 3-5 times a week (I would say its usually 4-5 but occasionally with work I drop to 3 days in which case I'll try to make up with a run):
Did my first whole30 in June 2012 - ate way too much fruit and didn't lose a pound but lost about 1 inch around my waist. felt great, looked great,etc and saw the magic.
Did my 2nd whole 30 in October- cut out fruit and sweet potato for 10 days where I finally managed to lose 5 pounds, and by day 30 I was a total of 5 pounds down and an additional 2 inches down on my waist. I extended whole 30 for an additional 10 days (minus a glass or two of wine) and somehow lost another 5 in those 10 days. my body fat went from 26% to 23% during this whole 30.
Over the holidays (nov-dec), went through some serious emotional stuff and ate my heart out unfortunately and put back on the 5 additional pounds I had lost in those last 10 days. So at this point was only down the first 5 I lost.
My gym was doing a whole 30 in January, so I started my 3rd one Jan 2nd and I haven't lost a pound since. Not budged on my waist either. I decided I'll cut out fruit and sweet potatoes, again to see if that will help and it hasnt. I'm just at the point where I understand this isnt about weight loss- but what if you really just want to lose some?! And everyone around you is dropping it on whole30,except you!? My boyfriend without working out at all has managed to lose 19 pounds just by eating what I cook
We log our meals at my gym, so I included a sample:
Breakfast: 3 eggs, cucumber
lunch: bowl of chili and 2 oz chicken breast, bunch of grape tomatoes
snack (pre-WOD): 2 eggs
dinner: about 4-6oz chicken breast with 1 avocado, bell pepper and onion wrapped in a few pure wraps; bunch of asparagus and broccoli
Breakfast: 3 eggs
Lunch: 2oz chicken with 1/2 avocado in a pure wrap, 1 bowl of chili, 1 tsp almond butter
Snack: 3oz carrots
Dinner: chicken shawarma salad, pint of grape tomatoes, cucumber

I would suggest you relax about that number (and quit weighing!). Lots of things effect your daily weight, and second guessing your hunger based on it is absolutely the wrong way to go.

The value of doing a Whole30 is to begin seeing meat, fish, eggs, veggies, and fruit as the good stuff and to start thinking of everything else as stuff we have to make do with occasionally.

Have your lifts/times on your workouts improved? Have you lost inches? YOU ARE LOSING FAT AND MAKING PROGRESS, even if you don't see those results on the scales.
What are your stats? i.e. how much weight do you feel you have to lose? If it's "not much" and it's more of a body comp thing for you, your results on the scale are going to be even less than you might like, unfortunately.

my workouts and lifts are actually not getting better. I want to bring back in sweet potato and fruit but am worried I won't drop any fat/weight if I do that. We did our max's this week and they have either stayed the same or gotten worse. I'm 5 '11' and 162 - I carry my weight all in my midsection.
Well there you go. Answer found.
You're already at a really healthy weight for your height, (it actually may be a smidge low, depending on genetics), but you're just carrying it in the wrong place/body comp. It's unrealistic to expect/want that number to drop very much. I'd really be more concerned with lifting heavy and changing your body comp.
Fat that's localized in the midsection is indicative of adrenal fatigue/overtraining. The fact that your lifts have NOT gone up is another check mark in that column.
Crossfitting as many times as you are in a week is a LOT of stress on its own; not giving your body an adequate amt of glucose/starch to help you recover from that is an added stressor. Then add in the stress of worrying about your weight, and your average "life/work" stress. It's a LOT. We can only handle so much before our body starts fighting back. The fact that you get 8-9 hours of sleep/night is AWESOME, but it's not enough.
Personally, I would add the sweet potato back in, just EAT more, and drop CF and activity to 2-3x/week. If you're worried about the sugar dragon, then just drop the activity level even further back.
I know it's scary and goes against everything we've ever been taught (i.e. this chick is telling me that to lose fat, i have to eat MORE and workout LESS?), but after 2 whole30s, your status quo isn't producing the results you want, right? If it doesn't work, you know how to get back to where you were.

I am not over weight but yes ALL of my weight is centered just in my mid section which just looks awful. I'm just curious but why would scaling back the work outs help with slaying the sugar dragon?
Sorry. It wouldn't necessarily. I just meant if you were very nervous about adding sweet potatoes and triggering the sugar dragon, then you could alternatively only scale back the workouts, which would give your body a rest and require fewer carbs to fuel your efforts
Posted 09 January 2013 - 04:01 PM
wow thanks Renee! So just so I understand right, you're saying I should eat more sweet potato or eat more of the protein/fat I've been eating? Do you recommend adding back in fruit? And as far as dropping back the crossfit to 3 times a week...should I add in a day of just pure cardio on another day? I will try to wrap my head around exercising less but I would think that would just make me feel lazy? Nonetheless, i've tried everything so I might as well try this!
You DEFINITELY need more starchy carbs. You probably need more food overall, though. I would never have guessed from your food log that you were 5'11", 165. I expected 5'5, 140 or smaller.
By "2-3x/wk," I mean intense exercise sessions, period. Replacing a day of CF with running doesn't change your activity level much.
Go for a walk/hike, do some gentle yoga like Tom suggested, take a bubble bath. Do whatever, just don't get sweaty.

Jenny, that's actually great to hear, gives me some hope! I will definitely give it a try. So I will start scaling my crossfit workouts back to 2-3 times a week and eat carbs maybe just on those days? or not at all? I will also do something to try to ease more stress like yoga maybe once or twice a week. I will let you guys know how it goes! Thank you for your advice.

You're doing everything you can nutrition-wise (once you add in those oh-so-important carbs). I would highly suggest giving yourself this whole30 to try a different approach. Relax and give yourself permission to experiment. If it doesn't work, you'll know, and then you have that much more information and help along your way.
I can tell you're super anxious about this, and I really understand. But stressing about it and not giving yourself the freedom to try a new way is potentially sabotaging your efforts. It will take some getting used to, but you can totally do it!!

Social Criticism
THE SOCIAL CRITIC OF ANY TIME AND PLACE, IF NOT MERELY A CRANK, SHARES this common agenda with his/her fellows: to dramatize the ills of contemporary society, thereby opening a door to their diagnosis and cure. Government is often targeted as the central representation of more widespread corruption in the state itself. Simon Goldhill discusses the dominant mode of artistic social criticism—tragedy—in Athenian democratic society, in a way that resonates for Dreiser's America as well:
After the opening ceremony [of the festival of Dionysus] with its display
of civic power, tragedy explores the problems inherent in the civic ide-
ology. It depicts a crisis of belief not only in people who hold power but
also in the very system and relations by which the hierarchies of power
obtain…. Indeed, the institution of tragedy seems to flourish precisely
over the period in which the democratic city comes into being. As the
city itself lives through the tensions of a changing society, tensions be-
tween public and private life, between the old, traditional ways and the
new requirements of the new political order, the tragedies produced in
the city seem to draw on the vocabulary, issues, and power struggles of
that developing civic language. Tragedy's moment, tragedy's force, is in
the articulation of the struggles of the city's discourse.1
Further, tragedy most often articulates its struggles not by direct reference but through the use of mythical narrative. A few exceptions exist, as in Aeschylus's The Persians, "produced in 472 B.C., eight years after the naval battle at Salamis, which the play celebrates."2
Similarly, Dreiser occasionally delivers a narrative diatribe against the evils of late-nineteenth-/early-twentieth-century political regimes and American society in general, but this is only ancillary (and not

The 8" low-frequency driver cone of the BX8a is crafted from Kevlar in contrast to the polypropylene used in the original BX8. Kevlar is the same material used in bulletproof vests, and its high resilience makes it ideal for use in speaker cones—although it is typically reserved for monitors with higher price tags than the BX8a. Curved conical design improves room dispersion, and high-damping rubber surrounds insure that the cone reaches exactly its optimal excursion for accurate reproduction. Our high-temperature voice coils guarantee that the monitors will deliver full performance no matter how many hours they are used.
The high-frequency dome of the BX8a is made from natural silk to counter the ringing that is inherent in the stiffer metallic materials common to other monitors. As a result, the monitors are much easier on the ears, especially over the course of long sessions. M-Audio's use of ferrofluid liquid cooling dissipates heat for maximum efficiency and extended usage.
The cabinet of the BX8a is integrally designed with its other components for optimal performance. Rounded corners reduce edge diffraction and provide superior imaging. The custom rear-port design delivers extended bass and eliminates the turbulence and resulting distortion caused when front ports project low frequency waves in the same path as the speakers' direct signal.
Bi-amplified design features 70 watts for low frequencies, 60 watts for high frequencies, and expertly tuned crossovers to insure that only the optimal frequencies are fed to each driver. Magnetic shielding also makes the BX8a ideal for desktop use. Each unit has a power indicator and volume control.
Specifications for the BX8a includes 40Hz-22kHz frequency response, 2.2kHz crossover frequency, greater than 100dB signal-to-noise (typical, A-weighted), input impedance of 20k ohms balanced (10k ohms unbalanced) and input sensitivity of 85 mV pink noise input producing 90dBA output SPL at 1 meter (with volume control at maximum). The BX8a is factory programmed for either 115V ~50/60Hz or 230V ~50/60Hz. Protective features include RF interference, output current limiting, over temperature, turn-on/off transient, subsonic filter, and external mains fuse. Size is 12" x 10" x 15"; 30.48cm x 25.4cm x 38.1cm. Weight is 26.4 lbs./unit; 11.97 kg.
"The M-Audio BX series has been used by some of the best artists and engineers in the business," says Adam Castillo, marketing director at M-Audio. "The BX8a represents our commitment to continually improving our products. In particular, our use of curved Kevlar cones delivers enhancements to both fidelity and durability."

You've struck something magical in the Harry Potter books; something that will never be replicated. You've gotten millions of children - and adults - reading again, and loving the experience.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle killed off Sherlock Holmes, and then was forced to bring him back because of pressure from his reading audience. How can we pressure you to write more Harry Potter books?

Very pleased with this
This review is from: QNAP TS-212-E Diskless System Network Storage
Pros: I am very pleased with this NAS device. He have some older computers in our home, that work find for us. Lack of storage is an issue though. We were also getting concerned about losing pictures and important files. The external USB drive was not very convenient and so we weren't using it often enough. The TS-212-E is just what we needed. I installed a pair of 3 TB drives, and mirrored them. It was very simple to setup and we were using it shortly after after it as plugged in. Within two days we had all our important files and pictures moved to it. I setup email alerts, so if anything goes wrong we will get an email.
Cons: It's not really a con that this device does not have much memory and a lower end CPU, but it is worth considering. I wanted cheap and big. The QNAP software has a lot of features. Some of the features and applications are pretty cool. I don't plan on enabling any of them. If you want to use some of the cool features and/or applications, I would recommend that you buy a device with more memory and a faster CPU.
Other Thoughts: Before you tell me that I should not rely on this device alone to protect our pictures, we are backing them up periodically to an external USB drive and keeping it in a fireproof safe.

Prelim Feedback - Good So Far
This review is from: QNAP TS-212-E Diskless System Network Storage
Pros: Easy drive installation, using QFinder app initial setup was easy, basic functionality is pretty nice.
Cons: Do not expect a multimedia powerhouse. Very limited CPU and memory make this a nice network attached storage device, but the extra stuff is limited or barely functional.
Other Thoughts: I like this product so far, I wish I could give it a half egg so it could be 3.5 instead of 4...the unit is good and deserves better than 3 stars but not quite deserving of 4 until I consider I spent < 100.00 for this.

Shoot the engineers
This review is from: QNAP TS-212-E Diskless System Network Storage
Pros: The unit is quiet and simple to assemble.
Cons: This product is a prime example of software engineers that should have been moved to another project. I bought this device to use as a simple NAS. Hardware installation was a breeze then the software nightmare began. Starting with a 600 page user manual describing all varieties of virtual and browser based high tech yet it omits the basic purpose for which most people buy the product; a network drive recognized by the OS on power up. After 2 weeks of wandering through the maze, I finally configured a drive recognized by the OS (Win7). Then the barrage of notices about software updates began, rivaled only by Java for frequency. Well, one of the updates deleted the IP address for my lettered network drives and I cannot spend another 2 weeks retracing my way through the maze again. I need a simple NAS for doing backups. Save all the cloud fluff for the engineers with their faces buried in their phones 23 hours a day. Some of us have a job to do that isn't babysitting a NAS. I'm buying 2 units from the "big houses" and foregoing the frustration of all products with names starting with a "Q".
Other Thoughts: A simple 10 page install manual to cover basic NAS configuration would help a lot. Publish the other 590 pages of virtual ware as a separately priced option for those who want to buy it. See how it sells. Simplicity is elegant.

On 2nd Thought
This review is from: QNAP TS-212-E Diskless System Network Storage
Pros: It works well, if you don't need to access it outside your LAN or by more than 1 person
Cons: It is worthless if you need to access it outside the LAN by more than 1 person or if you need actual human support.
Other Thoughts: So if you see my review below you'll see I was generally happy with this NAS. That was while I was using it only on the local network. Still good for that purpose. The problems arise when you try to access it outside the LAN and on the web via other PCs. If you want to access it with just the account you use to setup the device in their cloud service it works fine. Also works fine on a cell phone via their qfile app. Want to access it via the user accounts you created with proper security so that each user sees what you want from their own interface, forget it. Support doesn't answer the phone or emails, they direct you to a forum with about as much "help". I've followed every tutorial, every forum post, every web search. Mind you I have setup dozens of NAS previously, am VERY familiar with port forwarding, UPnP, you name it. I even tried a different brand of router all together, nada.

Solid little NAS, with exceptions
This review is from: QNAP TS-212-E Diskless System Network Storage
Pros: Work well with a wide variety of drives, decent options for additional apps, very easy to setup and configure
Cons: Not the fastest NAS out there, limited RAM/CPU power for more demanding functions
Other Thoughts: Overall I've been pretty happy with these units. If you need a simple network file share this would definitely fit the bill. If you're looking for something more high powered or need very high speeds you might want to look up the higher end models as it's pretty easy to max out the CPU in these. Some nice media sharing options built in and it was very easy to configure (plug it in, turn it on, use the qfinder app and follow the prompts to insert drives and configure).

Pros: The device has a lot of flexibility. Had it configured in raid 1 with two seagate drives, and it was happily running transmission, couchpotato, sickbeard, and sabnzbd for the past 22 months

Recant previous bad review
This review is from: QNAP TS-212-E Diskless System Network Storage
Pros: Nice GUI features, fast response times compared to earlier versions of small NAS devices. Easy user setup and security features.
Cons: Initial setup/configuration instructions were wrong.
Other Thoughts: I gave this unit a one egg review yesterday. Today I'm recanting. My DOA device was not DOA, but the QNAP Qfinder software that was supposed to run the initial configuration was failing. I finally ignored the setup instructions and went right to the unit's IP in my web browser after Qfinder identified the address. From there I was able to load the firmware and initialize my HDDs (that been failing miserably in the Qfinder setup process). Now I have RAID1 set up, users are setup and secure remote access is ready for use. Nice little cloud system after you get past the setup hurdle.

DOA - RMA'd and got another DOA
This review is from: QNAP TS-212-E Diskless System Network Storage
Pros: None identified yet.
Cons: Installed HDDs and ran configuration per instructions several times (Quick Setup and Manual Setup). Each time it failed with "Hard drive initialization failed". After a couple of weeks of back & forth with California tech support we got a remote session and the unit failed for the tech. He pronounced it DOA, RMA'd it and got a replacement two weeks later that fails just like the original - They probably just reboxed the problem unit and sent it back to me without a repair.
Other Thoughts: I chose to try this product after working with some Iomega (now Lenovo) products and Buffalo NAS drives. It had good reviews and promised to do what I needed: a simple cloud file service for a few of our customers to share with in-house staff.

Money well spent!
This review is from: QNAP TS-212-E Diskless System Network Storage
Pros: Until recently, I was keeping all my photos, videos, and code on my laptop. Running the background CrashPlan was backing up my data. Even though it is convenient to have all my data on a single machine, it doesn't scale and isn't very safe. So I decided to start looking for a NAS to store my growing collection of pictures. This is my first NAS and I love it!
Cons: There just a few things that I think could be improved.

Badenya Group
They all live in Chiola, a village in Ségou Region (fourth administrative region of Mali), and got acquainted through business and bonds of neighborhood.
They retail cereals and peanuts. In order to bolster their working capital, the members of the group decided to collaborate with Kiva's partner, Soro Yiriwaso, from which they are seeking their sixth group loan.
Mrs. Djènèba (second woman from the left in the photograph) has a good reputation as a peanuts merchant in her village.
She intends to use her part of the loan to buy 20 sacks of peanuts. She gets her supplies from the fair in Konodimini.
She resells for cash and on credit, at her home and at the Medine market in Ségou, to a clientele comprising both men and women.
With this loan, she hopes to turn an average monthly profit of XOF 15'000 (ca US$ 30), to be reinvested in her business and used to ensure the daily food expenses of her family get covered.
Mrs. Djènèba's goal, which all members of the group share, is to expand her business, thanks to this partnership with Soro Yiriwaso.
Madame Djènèba (la deuxième femme debout de la gauche vers la droite sur la photo) a une grande réputation dans la vente des arachides dans le village. Elle compte utiliser son prêt pour acheter 20 sacs d'arachides. Elle se ravitaille en arachide à la foire de Konodimini. La revente se fait au comptant et à crédit à domicile et dans le marché Medine Ségou à une clientèle mixte. Madame Djènèba espère réaliser un bénéfice mensuel moyen de 15.000 FCFA avec ce prêt, qui sera utilisé, pour être réinvesti dans l'activité et assurer la consommation familiale du foyer en condiments. A l'instar des autres femmes du groupe, Madame Djènèba a pour objectif d'augmenter le volume de son activité dans ce partenariat avec Soro Yiriwaso.
Additional Information
Important InformationSoro Yiriwaso is a microfinance institution that works primarily in rural and semi-urban areas of Mali to provide underprivileged communities with access to financial services.The organization facilitates access for disadvantaged clients, particularly women, to new resources and services, fostering solidarity and cooperation among its clients. Kiva lenders' funds will enable Soro Yiriwaso to expand its outreach and target even more underserved Malians involved in business and agriculture.
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.

Man charged in Kona burglary
By Ken Hupp - 67AM KPUA News
A 20-year old Kona man has been charged with several offenses following Tuesdays early morning burglary in Kealakekua. Police were summoned to an apartment complex on Kiloa Road shortly after 4:30 a.m., where a 75-year old woman said she awoke to find an unknown man in a green hooded sweatshirt rummaging through her items.
The suspect subsequently fled and the victim discovered her purse had been removed from her truck. Officers arrested John Small of Captain Cook and recovered the victims property, along with items taken from another vehicle and 4.9 grams of marijuana. Police on Wednesday charged Small with first degree burglary, theft of a credit card, unauthorized possession of personal information, promoting a detrimental drug and two counts each of theft and unauthorized entry of a motor vehicle.
