Top Healthcare Stocks
Healthcare stocks are higher, with the NYSE Healthcare Sector
Index advancing 0.3% and shares of healthcare companies in the
S&P 500 adding 0.7% as a group.
In company news, Prima BioMed Ltd (
) is soaring, climbing 76% to an intra-day high of $1.90 a share
after the Australian biotech company's chief executive officer
presented data on its prospective cancer vaccine as part of broader
presentation this morning on immunocellular cell therapy at an
industry conference in London.
Matthew Lehman had been scheduled to speak at 1:55 p.m. local
time - or 8:55 a.m. ET - at the 11th Annual Commercial Translation
of Regenerative Medicine, with his remarks slated to include recent
clinicial data of PBMD's CVac drug candidate as a case study. A
company spokeswoman said in an email message there was no new
information disclosed during the presentation.
Lehman and other company executives earlier this month discussed
CVac at length during a conference call with analysts, saying they
were moving forward with Phase II testing of CVac with 210 patients
with epithelial ovarian cancer. That followed Phase II testing in
63 patients indicating a 50% increase in progression-free survival
to 7.7 months compared to observation-only patients at 5.1
Traders online also were pointing to Lehman's purchase Thursday
of 14,806 American depository shares for $15,958.19, or $1.07 a
share, boosting his ownership of PBMD ADRs by 82.7% to 32,706
shares. He also owns nearly 1.62 million of the company's
Australia-listed shares plus options to purchase another 2.1
million shares, according to a new ASX regulatory filing.
U.S. volume was much heavier than usual Monday, with some two
million shares having changed hands as of midday, well above the
daily average of 98,584 shares. At last look, shares were up 49% to
$1.61 apiece.
In other sector news,
(+) DVA, (+8.3%) Kidney dialysis provider DaVita traded higher
late Friday after Medicare issued a surprise rule that will result
in no payment cuts to those firms next year, tabling a proposed 12%
cut. Rival Fresenius (
) also is up 7.2%.
(-) AMPE, (-0.1%) TheStreet.com urges caution about recent
reports forecasting speedy regulatory approval of the company's
diabetic macular edema drug, pointing to a recent SEC filing
hinting a third trial of the drug may be required.

This list of action items for individual energy savings is the most focused and quantitative I've seen. It comes from an October 2008 article in Environment Magazine by Gerald Gardner, professor emeritus of psychology at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, and Paul Stern from the National Research Council.
The actions in the list are grouped by whether they're for transportation or inside the home, immediate or longer-term, and no-cost/low-cost or higher-cost. Each item also includes an estimated percentage savings of total energy use. Here's an example of an immediate, no-cost action for everyone:
Space conditioning:
Heat: Turn down thermostat from 72°F to 68°F during the day and to 65°F at night
A/C: Turn up thermostat from 73°F to 78°F
Energy saved: 3.4 percent
Compare that to the language from the Department of Energy's "Tips to Save Energy Today: Easy low-cost and no-cost ways to save energy," from their Energy Saver's Booklet (full PDF):
Install a programmable thermostat to keep your house comfortably warm in the winter and comfortably cool in the summer.
The DoE's language sets up two barriers:
- getting and installing the programmable thermostat (which might be fairly low-cost, but probably won't happen "today)", and
- learning how to use the thermostat in an effective way (even later in the booklet recommended temperatures settings are not given).
Perhaps more important, the DoE's list doesn't give any sense of how effective one action is compared to another, and scatters the "Long-Term Savings Tips throughout this booklet" — another barrier for readers.
Gardner & Stern's list emphasizes relative impact of a mix of action types. People need to feel empowered to make big improvements quickly and easily, and The Short List of Effective Actions is a step towards that goal.

Introductory Immunology is a team-taught survey course that covers basic concepts of innate and adaptive immunity. These integrated series of lectures provide a firm foundation in immunology, especially for those with minimal immunology background, and serve as an important refresher for the developing immunologist. Students actively participate in the course through weekly presentations of selected immunology topics based on the current literature. Click here for course description.
Lymphocyte Biology, (Allan Zajac)
GBS 741 - February 25 - March 24
8:00 - 10:00 a.m. M-W-F
The objective of this class is to provide first year immunology students with the opportunity to gain a more in-depth understanding of selected aspects of lymphocyte biology. Possible topics include T cell subsets, B cell biology, lymphocyte activation, and transplantation immunology. The course is literature intense and students are required to read and present numerous scientific papers.
Mucosal Immunology, (Lesley Smythies and Robin Lorenz)
GBS 744 - March 25 - April 21 [2012 Course Description]
8:00 - 10:00 a.m. M-W-F
The mucosal immune system is essentially the primary site of interaction between invading pathogens and the immune system. Mucosal immunity has always been a strength of the immunology community at UAB and is rarely covered at most other institutions. This class will provide in-depth analysis of the structural features that distinguish the mucosal immune system from the peripheral immune system. Features of innate and adaptive immunity as they relate to mucosal immune responses will also be covered. The course will involve student presentations on selected topics.
Neuroimmunology, (Tara DeSilva)
GBS 745 - January 28 - February 24
8:00-10:00 a.m.
The purpose of this course is threefold; 1) to provide students with a basic overview of immunology and neuroscience in conjunction with a specific focus on how neuroinflammatory processes affect the brain, 2) to teach students basic neuroanatomy of the brain, and 3) to have students understand the clinical implications of neuroinflammatory diseases by attending rounds with clinicians. How the immune system influences the brain is an emerging field in neuroscience research and is currently not being addressed in a graduate or medical course. Click here for course description
Innate Immunity, (Alex Szalai and Scott Barnum) Not offered Spring 2014
8:00 - 10:00 a.m. M-W-F
The study of innate immunity has made a resurgence in recent years and its critical role, not only in host defense against invading pathogens, but in the development of adaptive immune responses is now appreciated.

I have an amusing but digressing question about all the black smoke and red fire (:smt067) from my PT1911 handgun. It's exciting to see the dark red color. It's like a small explosion. I've only seen it a few times when I shoot. I've seen it when others shoot.
If I'm not seeing it am I doing something wrong when I shoot.
What is it called. Does it go by different names. Does each gun have a metric describing the smoke and fire content.
It must stay in the air for awhile around me. Is it harmful to my eyes, lungs, or skin, and what should I do about it.
Do gun ranges do something about it such as keeping the air circulating etc. Do the gun ranges themselves have a rating.
Do people who shoot at a range, ever, have a unique smell. Do I have to worry about taking a shower and washing my cloths after shooting. What detergent should I use.
On my end, I do know that I can better fire after exhaling a breath.
My guess is that wearing one of those N95 respirators is totally out of the question. It would be unwise to say the least. I'll never wear one.
FYI: One trick police use to determine the distance between gunfire and a victim is to look for a cone of particles on a victim. So, particles are definately infront of the gun after it's fired. Question: Shouldn't the amount of particles also determine the caliber of the gun.

Commission from El Salvador visits Solidarity Economy Project in Belen Gualcho
The Solidarity Economy Project financed by the Millennium Challenge Account-Honduras and implemented by the Honduras Brotherhood Association (Asociación Hermandad de Honduras in Spanish) in the Ocotepeque Department, recently received the visit of a commission of youngsters from El Salvador who came to share experiences regarding processes to transform vegetables into canned products. During two weeks, Beatriz Pineda and Nidia Ruth García of FUNPROCOP in El Salvador, shared canning techniques with 12 women members of the food processing microenterprise "El Cedro" established in the Municipality of Belen Gualcho.This exchange was organized as part of the Solidarity Economy Project, currently supported by Volgens, an NGO of the Belgian Cooperation, which includes several farmers enterprises in Central America.
Funded by the Millennium Challenge Account-Honduras, the Solidarity Economy Project is offering greater opportunities for agriculture development to nearly 72 small men and women producers of the Lenca Ethnic Group, currently residing in the buffer zones of Celaque National Park and the Guisayote Biological Reserve, in the municipalities of Belén Gualcho and San Francisco del Valle, in the Ocotepeque Department.
This web site was made possible through a grant given by the people of the United States to Honduras through the Millennium Challenge Corporation under the terms of a compact signed between the two countries. The information provided on this Web site is not official

Who would shoot a beloved family dog in his own fenced backyard? That is what one Utah family wants to know after their 4-year-old pet, Burley, died as a result of being shot by a pellet gun on Monday. As reported by Fox 13 on March 18, family members want some answers on who would have killed their sweet dog.
Burley was let outside around 4:15 p.m. and his lifeless body was discovered at approximately 5:30 p.m. Owners Tom and Sherry Weaver have no idea why anyone would have shot their beautiful pet in the backyard of their Summit County home. After finding the non-responsive dog on the ground, Tom Weaver took Burley to the vet where he was examined thoroughly. X-rays showed that he had been shot with a pellet gun with four pellets embedded into his chest cavity and near his spine area.
The dog was said to be people-friendly and everyone that the pooch came into contact with seemed to love him. The family has lived in that dog-friendly neighborhood for 15 years. Burley was a shelter dog from Idaho and the family considered him to be a big part of their family. No one has ever bothered or complained about any pets previously, so this is certainly a mystery. However, they are almost certain that the shots came from the park that is towards the back of their property.
This tragic incident is now under investigation and the Humane Society of Utah is offering a $3000 reward for any information that would lead to an arrest and a conviction of the person that took this dog's life.
The family's neighbors are also helping out by putting up posters to help find out who did this. This sweet black lab-golden retriever mix will be missed by his family that loved him for four years and gave him a good home for his short life.
The Summit County Animal Shelter is encouraging anyone with information on who might have killed Burley to contact them at 435-615-3985.

Mourners laid long-time civil rights activist Dr. Benjamin Hooks to rest this week after praising his humility, toughness and amazing ability to balance several careers. Hooks died April 15 in Memphis. He was 85.
The last time I talked with Hooks was on Atlanta's Martin Luther King Drive in January of 1987. Hooks was walking down the street with a couple of assistants and I was leaving the Atlanta University Center campuses after completing a story.
I remember he asked me whether I was going to cover the big Forsyth County, Ga. march coming up that weekend. Activists converged on the suburban Atlanta county after reports of anti-black incidents and a small march led by Hosea Williams a week earlier had been pelted with rocks and debris.
There was a momentary pause and we both laughed. Of course I covered the massive demonstration along with a couple of hundred other reporters from across the country and around the world. Hooks was at the head of the march with Coretta Scott King, Rev. Ralph David Abernathy, Hosea and Rev. Joseph Lowery.
I mentioned that Hooks balanced several careers. He was an ordained minister who preached at two Baptist churches, in separate states. Hooks was pastor at Detroit's New Mount Moriah Missionary Baptist twice a month for 30 years. Hooks also led Greater Middle Baptist Church in his native Tennessee.
Hooks kept up that schedule even while serving as a judge, first black FCC commissioner and executive director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Hooks was perhaps best known bringing the NAACP back from its $1 million dollar debt and dwindling membership to fiscal health.
President Nixon nominated Hooks to the Federal Communications Commission in 1972. He served five years before leaving to lead the NAACP from 1977 to 1992.
Mourners at his funeral eulogized Hooks as a humble man despite his many accomplishments.

Summer is when the Palo Verde Borer is most active, especially in the early evening. This large insect is easy to identify. At 3 to 6 inches long, there's no mistaking it when you see one. They resemble a roach, with long antenna and a spiny collar on their thorax.
Although the name implies they affect only Palo Verdes, this is not the case. Plus, they don't usually bother our native Palo Verde species, such as the Blue Palo Verde and Foothills Palo Verde. Their favorite target is the Mexican Palo Verde, which long needle-like leaves and messy growth habit. This weedy tree is not a good choice, and is quite invasive.
The grubs of the borer feed on the roots of the Mexican Palo Verde and other non-native trees. They live underground for up to three years. Once the tree shows decline in the form of branch dieback, it is too late to save the tree. A telltale sign that the borer has visited your tree are the quarter size exit holes in the root zone, indicating the borers have done their job and left. Therefore, placing poison in the holes does not help, because the insect long gone and the damage is done.
So what's a person to do? Planting native species certainly helps, and keeping your trees stress free does too. Insects like stressed plants best. Stress factors include the wrong species for the desert, insufficient (or too much) irrigation, planting too deep, construction damage of roots, and incorrect pruning. As for fertilizing native trees, the answer is don't. If you are planting desert natives, they do just fine without fertilizer. In fact, most desert trees are in the legume family, and have the ability to fix nitrogen from the air, providing their own source of fertilizer. Don't waste your money. In addition, fertilizing nitrogen fixing plants only leads to them "forgetting" how to do what nature gave them the ability to do. Overall, keeping your trees healthy is the best way to avoid insect pests and diseases.

Breast Cancer Health Center
Recurrent Breast Cancer Survival Up
Jan. 16, 2004 -- It's not a good sign when breast cancer comes back. But survival rates are getting better all the time, a look-back study shows.
An M.D. Anderson Cancer Center research team led by Sharon H. Giordano, MD, looked at 834 women treated from 1974 through 2000 for recurrent breast cancer.
Their main finding: Survival gets about 1% better every year.
"These findings, although not conclusive, suggest breast cancer survival has been improving," Giordano and colleagues conclude. Their report appears in the Jan. 1 issue of Cancer.
Women were divided into groups according to year of cancer recurrence. For each group, the researchers calculated average survival time and five-year overall survival rates:
- 1974-1979: Average survival was 15 months. Overall, 10% of women survived for at least five years.
- 1980-1984: Average survival was 17 months. Overall, 14% of women survived for at least five years.
- 1985-1989: Average survival was 22 months. Overall, 22% of women survived for at least five years.
- 1990-1994: Average survival was 27 months. Overall, 29% of women survived for at least five years.
- 1995-2000: Average survival was 58 months. Overall, 44% of women survived for at least five years.
Giordano and colleagues suggest that the improved survival is due in part to changes in standards of care. In recent years, they note, doctors use chemotherapy at earlier stages of breast cancer.
The researchers also suggest that increased use of mammography screening results in earlier breast cancer diagnosis and improved survival.

Air: Abra
Montreux Suisse-Air: Live at Montreux 1978 (Arista Novus AN 3008)
Henry Threadgill (tenor sax), Fred Hopkins (bass), Steve McCall (drums).
Composed by Henry Threadgill.
Recorded: Montreux Jazz Festival, July 22, 1978
Rating: 94/100 (learn more)
Not many bands in the history of jazz were more adept than Air at combining the open spaces of free playing with gutbucket expressionism. Much of that owed to Henry Threadgill, of course, whose gritty, bluesy R&B alto and tenor sounds were used to convey remarkably abstract thoughts. Not to be overlooked, however, are bassist Fred Hopkins and drummer Steve McCall, one the truly great rhythm sections, who provide the backbone of this track. Hopkins's expansive sense of swing works in tandem with McCall's; the pair creates a constantly ebbing-and-flowing, alternately swaggering and vulnerable ambience. Their work is fraught with drama, imbued with passion. Threadgill's composition is slight but essential, providing the performance an almost perceivable (mainly rhythmic) hinge on which it swings to great effect.

A: The thing I always want to say to this question is "What universe are you living in??" But I have come to understand that people actually can't get through their abundant treat bags (we have wars over the last peanut butter cup, but whatev). I guess you could make some Skittles vodka, or listen to Lynne Rosetto Kasper and just bake it into things like cakes, or pack it up and send it to the troops overseas. But if for some miracle you actually have an abundance of Twix, you can send them to me.

ASEAN stumbles in Phnom Penh
Author: Donald K Emmerson, Stanford University
Never in 45 years of regular meetings faithfully followed by bland communiqués have the ASEAN foreign ministers failed to agree on a public statement summarising their private deliberations — until now.
At the end of their gathering in Phnom Penh on 13 July, the silence was deafening. The proximate cause was their inability to reach a consensus on whether the statement should mention Scarborough Shoal, the site of a that began in April between China and the Philippines, whose governments both claim that land feature in the South China Sea. The Philippines wanted to include such a reference. Cambodia objected. Neither gave in. The 'ASEAN way' of consensus failed.
The underlying cause of the breakdown deeply implicates Beijing and its effort to defend its claim to possess exclusive sovereign rights over nearly the entire South China Sea. This claim denies the overlapping rights of sovereignty that four ASEAN states — Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam — assert.
In Beijing's view, ASEAN has no business trying to resolve the disputes over the South China Sea, which can only be settled bilaterally between China and each of the four Southeast Asian claimants. In this context, by refusing to issue a communiqué, Cambodia, the 2012 ASEAN chair, appears to have done what China would have wanted it to do.
So, how badly will the rift in Phnom Penh damage ASEAN's ability to sponsor a binding code governing state behaviour in the South China Sea?
In 2002, China and the ASEAN states signed a non-binding Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea. Some ASEAN leaders hoped to commemorate the document's 10th anniversary this year by drafting, among themselves, a binding code of conduct. The plan was to finish the task in time for the ASEAN ministers to announce the draft at their meeting in Phnom Penh.
The good news is that the draft code exists, although its contents have not been announced. But the bad news is that a communiqué noting what the ministers accomplished would likely have mentioned their success in preparing a draft code and described it as an important step forward. Without this recognition, the draft code could languish in limbo without a clear status and vulnerable to being dismissed as a mere wish list. Intentionally or not, when Hun Sen cancelled the communiqué, he prevented ASEAN from publicly and prominently validating the draft as the group's official basis for negotiation.
Discussions between ASEAN and China on the draft code are scheduled for September. The draft is an ASEAN product, so those talks will be multilateral in character. If China takes part, it will have to leave its bilaterallist preferences at the door. ASEAN's plan is to join China in signing a final text at the next round of ASEAN-related summits this November.
ASEAN's draft is unlikely to stay hidden for long. If it does remain secret, no one but the governments directly involved will be able to identify China as the cause of any changes, including concessions made to satisfy Beijing. But if the draft is circulated in its current form and China successfully makes changes, these deviations from the original will eventually become public knowledge. ASEAN's diplomats will risk being accused of giving in to the dragon.
Beijing feels entitled to the South China Sea, and that sense of entitlement limits its ability to project soft power.
A case in point is Beijing's repeated characterisation of its claim to the South China Sea as 'indisputable'. Is there no one in the foreign ministry who recognises how laughable this description is? Four ASEAN states are disputing it, not to mention its disapproval by others.
Manila has suggested separating those parts of the South China Sea that are 'disputed' from those that are not. Perhaps Beijing thinks that in describing its claim as 'indisputable', it is simply protecting its position. But in the realm of soft power, where words matter, China's insistence on indisputability undermines its case.
The deadlock in Phnom Penh may delay the creation of a code of conduct for the South China Sea. But it may also speed up the unwillingness of at least some ASEAN states to kowtow to their giant neighbour, while strengthening their incentive to cooperate prudently with outsiders, including the United States, for the sake of their own national and regional independence. In the meantime, it behoves the four Southeast Asian claimants to make sure that they too, being very much part of the problem, are part of its solution.

I generally agreed with your observation until your closing, when you ( diplomatically? ) suggested the 4 claimants ( other than China: Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam? ) that are very much part of the problem, should become part of the solution…. How so?
1) Have you or any one ever seen an official Chinese government 9 dash map with international designations/locations and associated territorial rights/explanation? How do these 4 countries know where the disputed vs. non-disputed or by listening to what the Chinese say?
2) Has any of these countries ever attacked, taken control any island occupied by others or just the Chinese in 1974 ( Paracels ) and 1988 ( Spratlys )?
3) Has any of these countries used military, para-military and armed fishermen at large to attack, arrest for ransom and disrupt fishermen from other countries in an organized way or just the Chinese?
4) Has any of these countries refused to meet with neutral institutions ( UN Court ) to reconcile and agree to solutions or just the Chinese?
I can go on with more but the real fact in the SCS conflict is: all claimants can be part of solution but China is the problem!
Cambodia in the ASEAN forum of 2012 had that very rare opportunity to shine. But did not grab it when a third party's maritime aggressiveness and expansionist action in the SCS came into the table. But did nothing about it in-spite of repeated requests from the other FMs and for the first time in its forty-five years existence, ASEAN failed to issue a joint communiqué. Had there been a joint declaration who knows the oil-rig 981 incident/encroachment, the anti-Chinese riots in Vietnam, the rape of the reefs in the Spratlys may not have happened. Did that in-action improve Cambodia's socio-economic position? NO.
Was that all about aiding and abetting other nation's interests and not that of ASEAN? YES.
Had Cambodia acted in the interest of her ASEAN brothers and did the right thing that would have been called good leadership and smart statesmanship for a better world.
What a lapse of judgement and a lost opportunity, Cambodia. You have lost all credibility within your own ASEAN community from that single and yet important event as a host nation.

An archdeacon is a senior clergyman, appointed by the bishop, whose duty it is to supervise his fellow clergy and to administer part of a diocese, hence his/her territorial designation. As well as pastoral duties, archdeacons are in charge of the fabric of parish churches and their contents.
In the case where an archdeacon is a female, substitute 'Madam Archdeacon' for 'Archdeacon' and 'Mr Archdeacon'. An invitation sent to a married archdeacon who is a woman would be inscribed 'Mr Lisle and the Archdeacon of Exeter'.
After retirement, an archdeacon is addressed as for other clergy, ie 'The Rev' instead of 'The Venerable', unless he/she remains a canon or prebendary, or is appointed to emeritus rank, when he/ she is addressed accordingly. The word 'emeritus' is only used in official documents.
How to Address an Archdeacon
The recommended (social) style of address is as follows:
|Beginning of letter
|Dear Archdeacon (or Dear Mr Archdeacon)
|The Venerable The Archdeacon of Exeter
|Verbal address
|Description in conversation
|The Archdeacon (of Exeter)

Annotation of content often contains references to semantic entities such as objects, events, states, places, and times. In order to ensure consistent descriptions (e.g. make sure that persons are always referenced with the same name) some kind of controlled vocabulary should be used in these cases. MPEG-7 provides a generic mechanism for referencing terms defined in controlled vocabularies. The only requirement is that the controlled vocabulary is identified by a URI, so that a specific term in a specific controlled vocabulary can be referenced unambiguously. In the simplest case, the controlled vocabulary is just a list of possible values of a property in the content description, without any structure. The list of values can be defined in a file accessed by the application or can be taken from some external source, for example the list of countries defined in ISO 3166. The mechanism can also be used to reference terms from other external vocabularies, such as thesauri or ontologies. Classification schemes (CSs) are a MPEG-7 description tool that allows to describe a set of terms using MPEG-7 description schemes and descriptors. It allows to define hierarchies of terms and simple relations between them, and allows the term names and definitions to be multilingual. Part 5 of the standard already defines a number of classification schemes, and new ones can be added. The CSs defined in the standard are for those description tools, which require or encourage the use of controlled vocabularies, such as
- technical media information: encoding, physical media types, file formats, defects
- content classification: genre, format, rating
- other: affection, role of creator, dissemination format

There's no doubt about it that developing a video game is hard work. Whether it be a small independent title or a blockbuster from a major company, crafting a team's creative vision into something that fans will love is a long and difficult process. We recently had a chance to sit down with Eric Hirshberg, the CEO of Activision, to discuss a few aspects of publishing Destiny, one of the biggest games coming out this year. He offered a couple of examples as to what made him most excited about the project, such as when he realized that Bungie was unlike any other developer.
What I'll say about Bungie that seems unique to them is they have one of the clearest visions, meaning when I think back to the first meetings on the game that I was a part of, the concept art, which can often times look like a distant cousin of what the game ends up looking like, hit exactly what they were aiming at. They had this vision for this world and the way it was going to look and feel, and [even though] it has taken a few years to execute, it really does feel like the picture they painted years ago.
Bungie is known for their signature style and knack for crafting intriguing sci-fi worlds with their incredibly successful Halo franchise, so it comes as no surprise that the developer would have a solid vision for their next venture. Hirshberg went on to state that, aside from the game's creative artwork, he's also excited about the game's approach to online multiplayer, and cited it as the moment when the project really came together for him.
I remember another key moment for me was the first time I experienced what we're calling the shared world shooter elements where you're playing single player, you're playing a campaign [mission], and then you get dumped into this public space with other players, and you have to team up with them to take down an enemy, that was magic. It was one of those moments where I thought 'okay, I haven't experienced that before. That feels new, fresh and cool.'
Hirshberg isn't the only one excited to experience Destiny's massive world and social gameplay, as millions of gamers have already been captivated by the game's alpha and beta releases. Fans should look forward to playing the full game when it launches for the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on September 9th. Those who are planning to purchase a PS4 later this year might also want to consider the Destiny bundle, which features a special white version of the console, to be released on the same day.

What to Do When your Appliances Come Damaged
From Dean Dowd on May 19, 2008 in Kitchen Remodel
Just recently during my own kitchen remodel, I purchased an appliance package from a local appliance store. Upon delivery, the stove was severely dented, the refrigerator scuffed, and the dishwasher leaked. How do you handle a situation like this?
Most appliances come with a minimum one-year warranty, and the supplier should be quite accommodating in replacing the damaged goods. This can be quite a hassle, especially if your contractor is on a tight schedule. You always have the option to refuse the damaged goods, and either re-order from the same place, or shop elsewhere. In this particular case, we were able to negotiate a lower price as well as an extended warranty for the stove.
The leaking dishwasher presented another problem that wasnt so simple to remedy. It came with a one-year warranty, so the repair company came readily out. After four trips, and over $400 worth of replacement parts, the machine was finally fixed. Concerned that the machine was going to stop working after the year warranty was up, I contacted the supplier in hopes of obtaining an extended warranty. It is in the stores best interest to keep you happy, and in this case it would be wise for them to replace the machine, or extend the warranty. However, in this particular case, the store refused to offer any further assistance. You can always contact the manufacturer and express your disapproval of their product, and do your best to work through to a solution from them. Sometimes, after the fact, there arent many options available to you.
Purchasing new appliances can be a fun project, but it pays to purchase quality brands. To protect your investment, it may be worth the extra expense to buy the extended warranty. Working with a professional kitchen contractor will ensure your appliances are properly installed as well.

Can A Court Deny My Bankruptcy
It is important that people considering filing for bankruptcy be familiar with their state's and federal laws regarding who can and who cannot file for bankruptcy. It is also important to know how often one can file, what the rules of bankruptcy are, and what is needed to file because it is possible for a judge to deny a bankruptcy discharge.
The Most Common Reasons Courts Deny Bankruptcy
- The first reason a judge will deny a bankruptcy involves the individual not being eligible for a discharge. This could be because the individual is filing incorrectly, or they are filing as their business when they should be filing as an individual, or vice versa.
- The second most common reason is that the person is filing too soon after a previous bankruptcy discharge. For example, federal laws state that a person cannot file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy within eight years of a previous Chapter 7 discharge. Doing so will cause a judge to automatically throw the case out.
- The third most common reason for denial is abuse. A judge can deny a discharge on the basis of abuse if the person filing has enough disposable income and assets to reasonably pay their debts. Sometimes, this denial can cause a person to re-file as a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, which allows the debtor to restructure their debt and pay it off over time.
Courts Will Deny A Bankruptcy for Incomplete or Improper Paperwork
It is important to know what paperwork your bankruptcy filing requires. If you submit paperwork that is incorrect or incomplete, the judge will deny a discharge. This includes failing to disclose all asset information to the appointed trustee and not attending the Meeting of Creditors. If a case is dismissed for any of these reasons, the judge can attach special restrictions to future attempts to file, making it nearly impossible to successfully file in the future.
Filing for bankruptcy is not a guarantee that all of your previous financial problems will just go away. The filing process is long and arduous, with many stops along the way. Problems during the process are serious, and a judge is not required to grant anyone a discharge in their bankruptcy.

I had given up on it a while ago and stopped trying since nothing I ever attempted to draw in that style came out looking like a steaming pile of horse poo. But now I've discovered a website with helpful tutorials here. If anyone is interested in Animanga styles, you should definitely invest some time into these super cool tutorials.
In other news, commissions are still in the drafting process. I'll most likely do them eventually when I work out my prices. At the moment, Im in the process of packing and moving into a new house. So starting right now would be a bit unwise. However, if anyone would like to work out a deal for a piece, just throw me a message and we'll see what we can work out. Remember that if and when I do commissions, there is a strong chance I will ask for cash (US Dollars).
Thats all for now. Thanks for reading.

doesn't work, and running away doesn't work.
Any of these actions will get you fired...
I've posted stories of two women at 2 convenience stores in Iowa who complied with an armed robber's demands almost two years ago, and got killed for doing it. But they didn't get fired.
We know about the grocery store manager, pizza guy, and the pharmacist who were fired for shooting the armed robber.
I posted about the KFC mgr. that complied, per company policy, and got fired.
Now we have an asst. mgr. of an Arby's, with 23 years service to them, who escapes out the drive up window... And she gets fired.
Is it any wonder she "doesn't want to work for them any more?"

From staff and wire reports
GREENVILLE, N.C. -- John Bohannon scored 23 points and McKenzie Moore sank a 3-pointer as time expired to help UTEP edge East Carolina 68-67 Saturday in Conference USA play.
"It was a heck of a basketball game and heartbreaking loss for us," ECU Head Coach Jeff Lebo said. "You kind of feel like you have it and then getting it taken away from you like that is tough.
"We've had some emotional and exciting wins here and I thought we might be able to pull off another one here in this game. Give them credit they made the play at the end, a 35-footer at the buzzer."
UTEP (11-7, 4-1) trailed the entire second half but tied the game five times before McKenzie hit a jumper to knot it 65-all with 19 seconds showing.
East Carolina (12-7, 3-3) regained the lead, 67-65, on a Miguel Paul driving layup with 4.4 seconds left.
UTEP's Jacques Streeter took the ensuing inbounds pass, dished it off to McKenzie, who managed three dribbles before pulling up midway between the 3-point arc and half-court line for the game-winner.
"We told Jacques we wanted him to try and go lay it up at the rim if he could, but if contained McKenzie would be trailing," UTEP Head Coach Tim Floyd said. "I didn't know he was going to try and shoot it from the half-court line, that wasn't the idea, we were trying to get it to him at the top of the key."
The Pirates trailed for a grand total of 53 seconds and were either ahead or tied the entire second half until the final buzzer sounded.
Ty Armstrong put ECU 38-36 3:30 into the second half and the Pirates held onto the lead for nearly 14 minutes before Bohannon made a pair of free throws to tie the game at 61.
Maurice Kemp, who didn't start for the first time this season, put the Pirates back on top with a layup and then Marshall Guilmette scored to extend the lead to four.
Bohannon made two more free throws before McKenzie tied the game for the final time.
Bohannon, a 58.7 percent free throw shooter coming into the game, sank 11-of-14 from the foul line.
Despite shooting just 9-of-27 in the first half, ECU led by two at halftime, 30-28.
The Pirates raced out to a 16-7 lead in the first 8:37, making 5-of-8 field goals. They finished the half 4-of-19 shooting, but converted 10-of-11 free throws to hold on to the lead.
ECU finished 20-of-21 from the free throw line.
Senior Miguel Paul led ECU with 20 points, while Armstrong scored 13 and Kemp added 10.
Prior to the final basket of the game, UTEP led just twice, 2-0 and 25-24.

Honduras Right-Wing Coup In Honduras
Here is the complete statement from Union del Barrio regarding the coup
Our Most Sincere Solidarity to the Honduran People and the Legitimate Government of Manuel Zelaya
June 28, 2009
The sister republic of Honduras currently faces a brutal campaign brought about by the most reactionary sectors of the country. The goal of this campaign has been the violent overthrow of the democratically elected government of Manuel Zelaya. This terrible situation represents the return of brutal military barbarism to our continent.
Over the past several days it was possible to see the unfolding of this coup d'etat by simply reading the increasingly aggressive newspaper opinions and viewing the televised transmissions of the right wing media – and this morning the act was consummated.
There can be no doubt that the right wing and the Honduran oligarchy has used its most backward methods in an effort to mobilize all its strength, including reactionary elements within the Honduran military, in an effort to block the realization of a democratic consultation scheduled to take place today. The national referendum was seeking the people's participation in defining the constitutional future of the country.
Our continent has survived the brutality of military coups. We understand completely the enormous cost required in the struggle for democracy. Too many have lost their lives in that struggle, too many have been disappeared, too many heroic struggles have been waged – all to permit a handful of reactionary elites to impose their will, and brush aside the sacrifices and the victories of the people of Latin America.
President Zelaya has not resigned, and therefore continues to be the President of the Honduran people, and will continue to enjoy the popular support of the Honduran people, the support of the people of Latin America, as well as the support of democratic partisans of the international community.
The people have maintained a historical memory. It is the infamous reactionary minorities that are mistaken when they believe that the people of Latin America will permit such a vile offense against the popular mandate of democracy. Such aggression must not be permitted in the face of the great democratic leaps currently unfolding across Latin America in our struggle to secure dignity, justice, democracy, and self-determination of all our nations.
It is evident even now, well into the twenty first century, that the sinister hand of empire continues guiding the efforts of right wing coup plotters against our people's. With this effort in Honduras they seek to turn back the democratic advances of the people of Honduras and Latin America as a whole. These destabilizing schemes have been actively initiated against Venezuela and Bolivia, as well as maintained permanent aggression against Cuba. And other forms of media aggression have been launched against any government that has refused to accept orders from the imperialist power of the north.
From the open wound otherwise known as the northernmost border of Nuestra América, Unión del Barrio extends our most sincere solidarity to the Honduran people and the legitimate government of Manuel Zelaya.
We call on our membership, young people, progressives, intellectuals, workers, and all barrio residents to denounce this military coup, to help block the Honduran oligarchs from usurping the presidency of Honduras, and resist those who seek to deny Honduras the right to define its own political destiny.
Comité Central,
Unión del Barrio

Reverse Engineering the Lean LaunchPad Curriculum
Here are the questions I answer when creating training plans:
Steve Blank and team have been posting versions of their Lean LaunchPad curriculum across many runs. I thought I'd just "translate" it to my usual training plan format. I did not expect this exercise to be as mentally exhausting as it was. Here's the result.
We are planning to organize a training based on this for the local startup community. Here's the training plan I prepared for it. This was easy after doing the exercise above. It's essentially the same as the original version. I tried to format the document to be more usable for organizers and participants. Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you want the editable version.
This curriculum is actually a bit misleading. You have a lot of things to read and lectures to attend. But based on experience, I think the most of the learning actually depends of the following:
How can these be replicated in local startup communities?
I think you need a minimum of orchestration:
These will fall under the role of the organizing team.
A Series on our D.I.Y. Lean LaunchPad
Musings on the Fundamentals
Goodies from Steve Blank
(A few months after we started, Steve Blank published online lectures and a recipe book for for running a Lean LaunchPad!)

10:06, UK, Friday 05 December 2003
Sir Alex Ferguson is believed to have been treated for the same heart complaint as Prime Minister Tony Blair. Supraventricular tachycardia, or SVT, is often described as an electrical short-circuiting of the heart.
The symptoms are a rapid heartbeat, slight dizziness and discomfort in the chest.
The condition occurs when the electrical impulse which regulates the heart beat doubles back on itself and causes it to speed up.
It can happen in an otherwise healthy person and can stop as quickly as it starts, giving the sufferer a fright, but leaving them unharmed.
Some cases may require treatment where the patient undergoes an electric shock to make the heart return to its normal pattern.
A doctor can also administer drugs to regulate the heart beat.
SVT is not life-threatening and it is unusual for it to be associated with any other condition, particularly a heart attack.
The British Heart Foundation says the condition is caused by too much coffee or anxiety and is experienced by people in highly stressful jobs.
It can cause the heart to beat between 140 and 240 beats a minute, compared with a normal resting rate of 70.
