Fed up with corruption, and wanting more space, the Chinese elite are seeing the US as a potential new home.
Oh, those crazy Chuppies! What can we sell to them?
Here's the history party officials in rising China would rather its people not read. Prepare yourself: Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" has nothing on this.

The Top 10 Mistakes Leaders Make
In this book, this author reflects that top-flight leaders are not born, but they learn by example. According to him, poor leadership habits spawn new generations of poor leaders. Or they create enough discomfort that the leader figures out to do it right.
Finzel describes the ten most common leadership mistakes as: the top-down attitude; dirty delegation; putting paperwork before peoplework; communication chaos; the absence of affirmation; missing the culture clues; no room for mavericks; success without successors; dictatorship in decision-making; and failure to focus on the future.
According to this author, leadership is dangerous, and the world history can best be written by studying the lives of great and terrible leaders and what they accomplished through others. Finzel says those who are in leadership position can on the one hand move men, women, and mountains for tremendous good, adding that at the same time, those in leadership position hold in their hands the power to do irreparable damage to their followers by the mistakes they make.
Finzel submits that the greater your sphere of leadership, the more your impact on the world around you, stressing that the more people you lead, the greater the potential damage caused through your poor decisions and actions. This is one of the sobering realities you must face when you take up the mantle of leadership, he asserts.
This author says good leaders seem to be a scarce commodity today, and there are many openings but fewer and fewer good candidates. According to him, this book is not intended to answer the question of leadership scarcity, but rather to look at what makes a good leader go bad, or better still, what habits to avoid if you want to help fill the gap and replenish the great leadership famine.
Finzel says his informal survey of leaders suggests that people fall into leadership more by accident than by design, adding that through whatever circumstances that led them to that point, they are thrown into leadership and become reluctant leaders.
Structurally, this book is segmented into ten chapters based on the identified top ten mistakes made by leaders. Chapter one identifies the top-down attitude as the number one leadership hang-up. According to Finzel, "I intended to save the best for last, like a top-ten countdown. But on the second thought, I realise that this top-down-attitude problem is like the mother of all leadership hang-ups. If you have it you will spread it to everything your leadership hands touch. So it must come first as foundational to everything else I will observe about how not to lead."
This author says the top-down approach to leadership is based on the military model of barking orders to weak underlings. According to this great motivator, top-down attitude manifests in abusive authority, deplorable delegation, lack of listening, dictatorship in decision-making, lack of letting go, and egocentric manner.
Finzel submits that the attitude comes naturally to most people, adding that servant leadership is much more rare. He adds that effective leaders see themselves at the bottom of an inverted pyramid.
Chapter two of this book is entitled Putting paperwork before peoplework. According to Finzel here, the greater the leadership role, the less time there seems to be for people; and the greater the leadership role, the more important peoplework is. He adds that people are opportunities, not interruptions, and it is only through association that you can achieve transformation. This author says people tend to put paperwork before peoplework because seen results take priority over the unseen relationship; taskwork pushes aside idle talk; the material world predominates over the immaterial world; obsessive-compulsive behaviour; relationship don't fit our deadlines mentality, etc.
In chapters three to five, Finzel examines the concepts of the absence of affirmation; lack of room for mavericks; and dictatorship in decision-making.
Chapter six is entitled Dirty delegation. Here, this motivational discourse expert interprets dirty delegation as refusal to relax and let go. According to this author, over-managing is one of the great cardinal sins of poor leadership. He adds that nothing frustrates those working for you more than sloppy delegation with too many strings attached, suggesting that delegation should match each worker's follow-through ability. According to Finzel, most leaders refuse to delegate as a result of the fear of losing authority; the fear of work being done poorly; fear of work being done better; unwillingness to take the necessary time; fear of depending on others; and lack of training and positive experience. This author identifies four stages of delegation as assignment, authority, accountability and affirmation.
In chapters seven to nine, Finzel notionally X-rays the concepts of communication chaos; missing the clues of corporate culture; and success without successors.
The last chapter of this text, that is, chapter ten, is entitled Failure to focus on the future. According to this author here, the future is rushing at us at breakneck speed, and a leader's concentration must not be on the past nor on the present, but on the future. Finzel stresses that vision is an effective leader's chief preoccupation, adding that organisations are reinvented with new generations of dreamers. Quoting Leroy Eims in this chapter, this author says "a leader is one who sees more than others see, who sees further than others see, and who sees before others do". Finzel also stresses the need for change as far as leadership is concerned. According to him, "Change is inevitable; not to change is a sure sign of imminent extinction… Leaders who don't change with the changing climate of our future world will…find themselves only a museum attraction."
Stylistically, Finzel's efforts are worthy of artistic commendation here. The language maintains some simplicity, and the syntax well-ordered. To achieve notional conviction and analytical reinforcement, he employs a lot of biblical allusions, classical/literary allusions, quotes, etc. To ensure easy study and understanding, he uses boxed précis and Powerpoints where he showcases the major conceptual flesh of his messages.
What's more, he also employs a lot of graphic embroidery to achieve visual reinforcement of understanding on readers' part.
If you aspire to become an effective leader, instead of seeking oracular intervention for your aspiration, the solution lies in having a copy of this text. It is just irresistible.

Welcome to the latest edition of Vallejo Rising - our ongoing series highlighting projects that are designed to reinvigorate the city of Vallejo.
Visualize this scene:
It's a great day to be outdoors . The water is glistening and sailboats in the Mare Island Channel are taking advantage of some fresh winds. Vallejo waterfront visitors linger at some vendor booths that line the walkway leading up to the Ferry Terminal.
It's a scene that many Vallejoans think could bring more traffic to this iconic part of downtown Vallejo. In fact some city employees have been thinking along these lines for some time. Recently Vallejo's Planning Division department partnered with the Economic Development Division and designed a new vendor permit process that they hope will get small businesses to think 'Vallejo Waterfront' when they envision where they want to set down stakes.
Planning Department Permit Technician James Cisney points to the ever-popular tradition of open-air markets around the world as proof that these outside markets are not just a passing trend. People love to be around other people, he says. Add to that experience the element of safety, a convivial ambiance and appropriate products and you have ingredients for a people-drawing atmosphere.
While the city has attempted to make the permit approval process as streamlined as possible, potential vendors should note that they can save time by thinking through their business plan in advance of applying for the permit. The permit application can be downloaded from the city of Vallejo website. Vendors are encouraged to meet with the Planning Department in advance of submitting their applications. While the online vendor application checklist mentions a variety of documents that the city, based on the type of vendor business, may require, Cisney urges vendor candidates to visit the Planning Department in the early stages of their business plan so that Planning staff can help potential vendors fast-track their approval process.
"They don't need to bring in all their licenses in the beginning", says Cisney, "and obviously we won't need a health certificate for non-food vendors. Actually we don't even recommend getting the business license till their vendor application has been approved by us. The same is true for the proof of insurance. After we approve their application they will need these documents. In the final step approved vendors then apply for their City license (essentially a lease) which then completes our permit process."

Can Boston art lovers be as uninformed as a recent poll suggests? Can the Boston Museum of Fine Arts – where the poll was taken?
The MFA mounted a show called "Boston Loves Impressionism" based on a poll that asked more than 40,000 museum goers for their favorite Impressionist work out of 50 in the museum collection.
And the favorite was – drum roll, please – Van Gogh's "Houses at Auvers," ahead of Monet's "Water Lilies" by nearly a thousand votes. Also notable is the third place winner, Degas' sculpture "Little Fourteen-Year-Old Dancer."
Question: What's wrong with this picture?
Answer: Pretty much everything!
Van Gogh was not an Impressionist, Monet was. And Degas's sculpture doesn't even compute when talking about Impressionism.
Confounding the art illiteracy, MFA installed these three top vote-getters at the entrance of the show under the banner "Boston Loves Impressionism," even though two out of the three of the most popular Impressionists were not Impressionists.
To hear MFA director Malcolm Rogers tell it, the show has "provided new insight into Boston's changing artistic tastes." Does he really think a vote for a 19th century style signals a 21st century city's change in artistic taste?
About the impressionists: let's review: They sought to liberate French art of its classical themes and academic techniques by getting out of their studios and painting in the great outdoors. And because they worked outside, they became interested in light and its effect on images. Instead of mixing colors on palettes, they placed vivid strokes of colors side by side, which seen at a distance, blend in the eye to appear more in-the-moment alive.
Van Gogh didn't do this, which is why he's called a Post-Impressionist. Like others in the movement, he didn't hold with Impressionism's idea of painting the external world and momentary visual effect. He followed his heart rather than his eyes and used color to express his feelings. His dedication to feeling led to Expressionism.
About Degas and Impressionism: Museums continue to show exhibit Degas' bronzes, including "Little Dancer" and with great fanfare, even though there's no such thing as Degas bronzes. Degas never used bronze nor participated in the myriad aesthetic decisions in casting and patinating bronzes.
What museum goers are looking at is a casting of a Degas wax study, made into bronze after he died. In other words, they're museum-store fare, not the original art that the museum charge fees to see, MFA included.
A 1995 report from the College Art Association said that the Degas bronzes aren't even direct reproductions of the original, but rather two generations after the wax original. Plaster molds of the originals were used for the bronzes, which would make them reproductions of reproductions.
The National Gallery of Art, holder of the largest public collection of Degas' original wax sculptures, notes that Degas didn't even like bronzes: "The medium was too permanent and ill-suited to the way he worked, which involved constant changing and revision."
Apparently, MFA didn't get these memos.
Let's give Degas the last word. He told art critic François Thiebault-Sisson, he modeled the waxworks merely as exercises for his paintings: "Since no one will ever see these efforts," Degas said, "no one should think of speaking about them."

BROOKLYN, New York — The excitement is building on Flatbush and Atlantic Avenues in Brooklyn, as music's biggest stars are making their way in and out of the Barclays Center to prepare for Sunday's 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. Drake, for one, had an extra bop in step on Friday night as he made his way through the arena halls after his rehearsal.
The practice runs were closed off to anyone not part of Drake's Toronto gang, but the pounding bass from a few familiar tunes rattled through the Barclays walls and gave outsiders just a taste of Drizzy's set.
"I get to do the new record, I'm doing 'Hold On, We're Going Home' into 'Started From the Bottom,' so [it's] really just an exciting performance to show the range and also show the diversity of music on the album," Drizzy told MTV News in an interview that will run entirely on allaccess.mtv.com during "RapFix Live" on Saturday (August 24) at 5 p.m. ET.
"It's an incredible year to be a part of this with all of the KAWS design, it's just like the best possible thing ever. We just rehearsed and everything sounded great," he added, intrigued by the special edition Moonman created by the famed Brooklyn artist.
The Young Money virtuoso is bringing more than just his OVO sound to the VMAs, he's also adding a bit of fire to his show on Sunday.
"We're blowing the stage up, I got things going off, I had to test with the fire marshall and it's gonna be good," he revealed. "I've been doing this for a while, pyro doesn't scare me. You know I'm ready, if you've ever been on stage with Lil Wayne, he likes explosions and they're loud you know, so I'm used to it."
The August 25 VMAs is the perfect set-up for Drake, who will drop his third studio LP, Nothing was the Same, one month later on September 24. Not only is he a scheduled performer, he's also nominated in the Best Hip Hop Video and Best Direction categories for "Started," so he's expecting a pretty big night.
"I'm pretty much just trying to stay consistent. I released the artwork the other day, so you'll see a bit of that in there," he said of his stage show. "Just trying to set it off, September 24, that's all I'm focused on, this performance and then just going home to put some final touches on the album with 40 and that's it."

and search the forums, i'm sure there will be 1 on here somewhere
I just found my old 360 in my basement that I scrapped A few years ago due to a non-working disk drive. Its kernel number is 2.0.6690.0. Connecting to live is not a concern for me because I live in the country.
I have a couple questions about jtagging it.
If the disk drive is non working will I still be able to play 360 games from an external hard drive?
Will I be able to play new 360 games?
Does anyone have an easy to follow tutorial? I'm comfortable with soldering.

mitchem890 (04-01-2012)
Is there any particular way you would recommend for my situation?
You could try this link which is a sticky under the JTAG section:
I skimmed through it and i feel like i understand most of it, except for the NAND part im not sure what i am supposed to do.
EDIT: okay i was looking at things a little more and this is how i am seeing it:
1.) I solder the connections in my xbox to some form of 25 pin male output.
2.) I hook it up to my computer.
3.) Dump NAND
4.) Check CB version
5.) Install Xell If applicable.
So I guess my main question is: an I take the 25pin to a usb so I can use my laptop?
Last edited by mitchem890; 04-01-2012 at 03:56 PM.
you need an usb spi flasher for this. There's an example of it here http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/8...lashermini.png
But it's not easy to make. I'd say the cheapest way is via the 25 pin LPT cable.
Another way is to buy a cheap usb spi flasher. I bought this one a while back: Xbox-experts.com - Shop - BAConsoles.com Official Store.
But the easiest and most expensive way is to buy a nand x Xecuter NAND-X - ModTraders.co.uk. This include pin headers which will also make it easy to solder.
BTW that jtag tutorial from post 4 is way outdated, don't use it
Last edited by eurbert; 04-01-2012 at 06:54 PM.
you should buy a nandx and use jrunner you can get it here J-Runner Official Support - Team Xecuter use the tutorial included with jrunner
NOPE! too much work! ill just make the 25 pin cord something like this
and just find a desktop with a 25 pin to use. do you have any up to date tutorials for xenon board?
Last edited by mitchem890; 04-02-2012 at 03:10 AM.
The method for reading the NAND using the LPT cable method has not changed in years, only the programs that you use to read and test the NAND have been updated.
Doing a google search for JTAG Tutorial will show you have to make the cable and where to wire it to on the motherboard (it is the same location on all PHAT Xbox).
Try to download Jtag Tool 4.25 (I can't find a working download and do not allow it to connect to the internet as it will freeze trying to do an update) to read the NAND using an LPT cable or NANDPRO3.0 which is fairly easy to use but requires using the Command Prompt window and typing in commands.
I have been through this process and failed miserably so I hope you have more luck than me.
mitchem890 (04-02-2012)
I'm not finding any downloads for it either. Is J-runner the same basically program?

When I first read the description of "The Boy in the Woods" by Carter Wilson, I was immediately intrigued. I finally started the book hoping that the story would meet, or exceed, the promise of that description.
Tommy Devereaux is a bestselling author of horror/thriller fiction. Some people, even his most rabid fans, find it odd that his villains are always women. Tommy has studied almost every violent crime committed by women in the past several centuries to use in his fiction. What no one knows is that Tommy has firsthand experience with a woman murderer. In 1981, Tommy and two of his friends witnessed another boy being murdered by a teenage girl and then were compelled to help dispose of the body. It is a secret that Tommy has kept from everyone, including his wife, but which is coming back to haunt him 30 years later.
Tommy's world is set to unwind when the girl, now a woman, suddenly reappears in his life and demands that Tommy tell her story. She wants to be immortalized in his words and will do whatever is necessary for this to happen. She tells Tommy that time is running short for him to complete his masterpiece about her as she has cancer and does not have long to live. She wants the world to know of her through fiction or she will destroy everything that Tommy holds dear. There is much more to her demands, however, and Tommy is destined to find out the true meaning of horror.
I had never read anything by Carter Wilson before but I know for sure that I will read more from him in the future. "The Boy in the Woods" is a very strong, stand-alone horror novel the likes of which seems rare in recent years. Wilson crafts a very tight and suspenseful story that flows well throughout the story and is able to be told completely (and with a satisfying ending) within the pages of a single novel. This almost seems like a dying art as many authors feel that they need to craft series rather than novels (or are being pushed in that direction by publishers) or they tell a good story with little idea of how to properly end it. Wilson does not fall into this trap. "The Boy in the Woods" is a single novel story that has every twist and turn that is needed to make it strong and suspenseful without being too verbose so that the reader feels almost compelled to turn the page. It is a horror/thriller in the vein of early Stephen King or some of Dean Koontz's stronger single novels.
Severn House is putting out some very good books and "The Boy in the Woods" is a good example of this. The story is swiftly-paced and scary enough to satisfy fans of the horror genre while still having enough suspense and thriller aspects to it to appeal to a wider audience. Wilson shows a deft hand at crafting the story and I am definitely looking forward to reading more from him in the future. This is only his second novel and he already displays the skills of a seasoned writer. Do yourself a favor and try something new and different. Pick this book up and tell your friends about Wilson before the rest of the world discovers his talent.
I would like to thank Severn House and NetGalley for this review copy. "The Boy in the Woods" is available now.

"Something my kids absolutely LOVE to do is pick flowers," notes Ashley at Cherished Bliss. "There is a state park close to us that is just gorgeous and the walking trails are covered in flowers. I made this little Burlap Flower Carrier for them to take on our walks and gather up as many flowers as their heart's desire!" This is a simple project that can be made with things you probably already have on hand–starting with a couple of sturdy twigs!
To make this flower carrier, Ashley cut a rectangle of burlap. She threaded some twine through the burlap so that she could tie the twigs at either end of the burlap. The twigs serve as handles for the carrier. "You can whip these little guys up right out in your backyard while the kids are playing," Ashley says.

Cloud computing
Cloud computing is a trend that began in the new millenium whereby computer data and programs began to move from local hard drives (a user's PC) to Internet servers (the "cloud"). This trend has enabled users to lower their own data storage costs and improve their security. This trend has enabled providers to aggregate their user bases on their own servers, and offer solutions more conveniently and reliably.
Extended Definition
Examples of cloud computing today (there are so many today) include Apple's MobileMe and Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). Or imagine the change from keeping one's own Quicken data on one's hard drive -- the 1990's model -- vs. having the data resident on Intuit's or the Internet's servers (encrypted for security, of course). If you can picture that -- together with picturing no longer paying for the new version of Quicken every year, but rather getting updates to the program (free or paid) as just new software release versions -- then you are picturing cloud computing.
Cloud computing is widely viewed as the "future" of computing, in which all user data is kept on the Internet (as opposed to one's own PC) and all software programs are run direct from the Internet (as opposed to bought off the shelf).
Case Study: OnLive vs. Traditional Videogaming
But will cloud computing always "work," always be the better model? A very interesting and potentially disruptive cloud-computing initiative is that of OnLive, a new cloud-based model of videogaming. Rather than buy a PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360, together with purchasing the game discs you put into those machines to play games, OnLive proposes to put all that into the cloud. Instead, OnLive aims to provide the gaming directly on its own servers, so that players only need their own computer, do not need to buy games, and will supposedly enjoy the responsiveness that they've always been used to, via OnLive's cloud-based Internet delivery of the games.
With so much invested in existing infrastructure -- tens of millions of game consoles and hundreds of millions of discs -- will traditional videogaming win out and cause OnLive to fail to reach meaningful market share? Or is OnLive or something like it about to disrupt thirty years of history in one of computing's most dynamic sectors?

I'm learning about the math invovled in PCA. For my purposes here, I'm just trying to understand a 90° rotation matrix. I get the concept of a rotation matrix, but when I look on wikipedia, the Wolfram Mathworld site, etc. I keep seeing the following defined as a 90° counter-clockwise rotation matrix:
|0 -1|
|1 0|
but when I actually do the math, I seem to get the point(s) rotated clockwise around the origin:
|1 2| |0 -1| |2 -1|
|3 4| x |1 0| = |4 -3|
Graphing the points (1,2) and (3,4), they're both in quadrant 1 (+,+). Graphing the resulting points, (2,-1) and (4,-3), they're both in quadrang 4 (+,-). The rotation works, but it seems clockwise, not counter-clockwise. What am I missing?
Note A friend suggested that it's the coordinate system that's being rotated, but the wolfram site (linked above) seems to explicitly exclude that from being the cause of my misunderstanding (see (1) and (3) on the wolfram site).
Any help greatly appreciated.

We use each other and one another to show that each person in a group of two or more people does something to the others. There is very little difference between each other and one another and we can normally use them in the same places. Each other is more common than one another:
Rick and Gina never liked each other. (Rick never liked Gina and Gina never liked Rick.)
Everyone in the family gave each other presents. (Each member of the family gave each member of the family a present.)
How's Maria? Do you see her often?B:

Be careful not to use us or ourselves instead of each other/one another:
We've known each other/one another for twelve years.
We've known us for twelve yearsor We've known ourselves…
We write each other as two separate words and we do not use a hyphen (-):
We got to know each other very quickly.

Custom Saddlebag Supports - 140-302
Easy install
These fit perfect with no bending or mods on my 2004 VS1400GLP Intruder. Chrome looks good. I would buy again.

Good quality
I put these on my 93 virago 1100. They're worth the price for the quality, but a little small. Bolted up great. I also purchased the memphis shades turn signal relocation kit to move the front signals to the fork so I could take the mounting bracket from the front and move the rear signals to the license plate when I get bigger bags. The supports work great with my small saddlemen bags.

They offer good support of the saddlebags and they look good when the bags are off the bike.

Fits right but due to large rear shock bags rest entirely on rear shock and not at all on support. Will need to fashion some kind of spacer to adjust for gap between support and bags to bring them out some. otherwise workmanship is good. would recommend only due to a lack of substitute products.

Very Nice Fit
These may seem like they cost a lot at first but when you see how well they fit you'll realize they were worth every penny.

good bag supports
Very pleased with the saddlebag supports however I did have one small problem in that the mounting bolts supplied where to short because the bag supports were being mounted on top of existing sissy bar mounts. But not to worry, after contacting the manufacturer, MC Enterprises, they supplied the correct length bolts at no cost. Great service on both companies part.

Ted S. Warren, File, Associated Press
As the middle class struggles to make gains and President Barack Obama strives to shine a spotlight on the issue of income inequality, an unlikely constituency is looking for ways to close the nation's growing wealth gap: A handful of top U.S. business tycoons.
These advocates point to notions of fairness and admit to twinges of guilt, but the core concern driving all of them — left, right and libertarian — is a belief that the economy doesn't function efficiently when the wealth gap is wide. They are proposing solutions that range from pressuring fellow entrepreneurs to pay workers more to simply giving their money back to the government to redistribute.
Since roughly 1980, the wealthy have been prospering while the middle class stagnates or falls behind. Members of the 0.1 percent now make at least $1.7 million a year and grab 10 percent of the national income, while the median annual household income has dropped, landing at $51,017.
The gap is growing wider. Income for the highest-earning 1 percent of Americans soared 31 percent from 2009 through 2012, after adjusting for inflation. For everyone else, it inched up an average of 0.4 percent.
As U.S. society has grown more unequal, rich men and women have set up clubs and foundations to encourage economic parity, and they are actively lobbying for change.
The figure of the fairness-conscious billionaire has a precedent, said Harvard Business School professor Michael Norton. During the Gilded Age, at the end of the 1800s, tycoons took steps to increase equality and help the working class.
"Names like Carnegie, Mellon and Rockefeller — the (Warren) Buffet and (Bill) Gates of their days — grace universities, museums and medical centers in part because the originators of those fortunes gave back," Norton said. "In the same way that some businesspeople are now taking steps to address climate change due to its effects on costs and revenues ... the notion that inequality can be bad not just for ethical reasons, but for financial reasons, is one that is increasingly embraced by businesspeople."
Here's a look at some of these opponents of the widening gap between the poor and, well, themselves.
The most visible of the superrich Robin Hoods is investor Warren Buffett, who has persuaded dozens of billionaires to give away large portions of their fortunes. Buffett, 83, is the second-richest American, according to Forbes magazine, with a net worth of $58.5 billion. He heads Berkshire Hathaway Inc., which owns everything from the insurance company GEICO and Dairy Queen to underwear maker Fruit of the Loom.
For years, he has advocated policies to close the wealth gap, saying reforms are necessary for the nation's continued prosperity. Buffett has famously complained that he pays a lower tax rate than some of his most menial-wage employees. That's because, like many moguls, much of his income comes from capital gains and dividend payments, which are taxed at a lower rate than ordinary wages. His activism gave rise to Obama's proposed "Buffet rule," which would ensure that anyone making more than $1 million per year pay at least the same rate as middle-income taxpayers.
The self-made Omaha, Neb., magnate has also for years targeted unequal wealth accumulation. Buffet advocated for a progressive estate tax before members of Congress, saying in 2007, "Dynastic wealth, the enemy of a meritocracy, is on the rise. Equality of opportunity has been on the decline. A progressive and meaningful estate tax is needed to curb the movement of a democracy toward plutocracy."
Buffett, who did not immediately respond to questions submitted via his assistant, has played a key role in encouraging his peers to redistribute their wealth by choice. In 2010, he launched the Giving Pledge program in which wealthy entrepreneurs publicly promise to donate at least half of their riches to charity. Adherents including Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, oil tycoon T. Boone Pickens and former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Second Amendment Foundation and Smith & Wesson Partner on Commemorative Revolver Engraved Model 442 Will Recognize District of Columbia vs. Heller Decision
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (July, 21, 2008) The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and Smith & Wesson have partnered to create a commemorative revolver designed to recognize the historical significance of the District of Columbia vs. Heller decision and to acknowledge the six original plaintiffs that united to challenge the gun ban in Washington, D.C.
As part of the project, an engraved Smith & Wesson Model 442 revolver will be presented to each of the six plaintiffs Shelly Parker, Tom Palmer, Gillian St. Lawrence, Tracey Ambeau, George Lyon and Dick Heller for their key roles in working to protect the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. Smith & Wesson will make the commemorative revolver available for consumer purchase in Fall 2008 and will direct a portion of the proceeds to the Second Amendment Foundation to acknowledge the organizations pivotal role in the Heller case and its ongoing efforts to preserve the Second Amendment rights of U.S. citizens.
We are proud to work with Smith & Wesson on this project, said Alan Gottlieb, founder of the Second Amendment Foundation. June 26 saw a landmark victory for the Second Amendment, and for all Americans. This is a fitting way to commemorate a significant moment in history, and support future efforts that will continue to strengthen our constitutional rights.
The Smith & Wesson Model 442 will be laser engraved with an insignia to commemorate the ruling by the Supreme Court. On the right side plate of the revolver, the scale of justice is depicted with the wording D.C. vs. Heller across the scale. The balance is in favor of the Heller name with the court date of June 26, 2008 positioned across the top. Underneath the scale, the side plate reads Second Amendment and The right to keep and bear arms in white lettering.
We at Smith & Wesson are pleased to honor the six original plaintiffs in the case while at the same time offer to consumers a firearm that will help in the preservation and protection of the Second Amendment, said Tom Taylor, Vice President of Marketing for Smith & Wesson. The Second Amendment Foundation has worked diligently on the Heller case along with several other cases in the last two decades by promoting legal scholarship. Their contributions have helped to dramatically change the legal landscape and we are honored to partner with them on this project.
The Second Amendment Foundation (Second Amendment Foundation Online) is the nations oldest and largest tax-exempt education, research, publishing and legal action group focusing on the Constitutional right and heritage to privately own and possess firearms. Founded in 1974, The Foundation has grown to more than 600,000 members and supporters and conducts many programs designed to better inform the public about the consequences of gun control. SAF has previously funded successful firearms-related suits against the cities of New Orleans, San Francisco and Los Angeles, and New Haven, CT on behalf of American gun owners.

Herrman Blumgart was born in 1895 in Newark, NJ to immigrant parents from Bavaria. He attended Lafayette College, Harvard College, and then Harvard Medical School. After residency at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, Blumgart. completed a traveling fellowship in London with Thomas Lewis, an eminent cardiologist. Returning to Boston, Blumgart took a position in the Thorndike Memorial Laboratory working closely with Francis Peabody. During the course of his career, he became the Director of Medical Research at Beth Israel Hospital in 1928, as well as Physician in Chief of Beth Israel Hospital in 1946.
Blumgart is often called "the father of nuclear medicine," as he performed the first application of radioactive tracers to study the velocity of circulating blood. In fact, his first "patient" was himself! He injected his own vein with radium C (a mixture of lead and bismuth isotopes) and monitored the time of blood flow from arm to arm with an electroscope. This was both the first nuclear medicine procedure and the birth of nuclear medicine instrumentation. Blumgart became the first to use radioactive iodine clinically, in the treatment of more than 1500 patients with hyperthyroidism.
Aside from Blumgart's research accomplishments, he stood out as an educator. He advocated for direct contact between medical students and patients, which was revolutionary in its implications for medical education. Blumgart's education of housestaff was legendary; the photograph of Blumgart with residents, sitting in a stairwell for impromptu teaching, is but one example of his dedication to this endeavor. Further, he made it a priority to educate patients about their illness and prognosis, saying, "There is no condition so complex that it cannot be explained in simple, intelligible language." Blumgart's outstanding contributions to medicine, from his research to his education to his leadership at Beth Israel Hospital, led to the naming of the Herrman Ludwig Blumgart Professorship of Medicine, held by the Physician-in-Chief and Chairman of the Department of Medicine, in his honor.

George S. Kurland served at Beth Israel Hospital as a master clinician, teacher and researcher for over 55 years. Born and raised in Boston, he spent his entire career in the Harvard system and was a major benefactor of Harvard University. After graduating magna cum laude with a degree in economics from Harvard College in 1940, he entered Harvard Medical School.
In 1943, he began his legacy at Beth Israel hospital as an intern, resident and chief resident in internal medicine. After his chief residency he stayed at Beth Israel as a research fellow and rapidly advanced to associate clinical professor in what would become the division of cardiology. He established the first cardiac catheterization lab at Beth Israel and served as the head of the Electrocardiography Division for several decades.
He was widely respected as an outstanding teacher and became the namesake for one of the four firms in which housestaff at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center are mentored. He was the recipient of the Robert S. Stone award given by the housestaff for outstanding service as a clinician and teacher in medicine. The George S. Kurland Legacy Fund was created to support a variety of educational resources for medical students and residents, including the on-line ECG tutorial, Wave Maven. On August 8, 1998, his former students and those whom he had mentored dedicated a major support pillar of the hospital in Kurland's honor.
Kurland's research interest was in the intersection of thyroid and cardiac pathology. He served as president and chairman of the Research Allocations Society of the Massachusetts Heart Association as well as a member of the American Thyroid Association. Throughout his career he published over 50 articles in peer-reviewed journals, including the New England Journal of Medicine and Nature. Most of his research focused on the use of radioactive iodine and thyroid regulation in patients with angina pectoris, but he also wrote seminal articles on the use of norepinephrine in cardiogenic shock and the use of penicillin in rheumatic fever. Moreover, he coauthored a textbook entitled Blood Flow and Circulation. A fitting tribute to his lifetime of service, Kurland was the recipient of the highest honor the Massachusetts Heart Association can bestow, the Paul Dudley White Award, for the physician who has made a lasting contribution to the reduction of premature death and disability from cardiovascular disease. Even into his late 70s, Kurland still worked tirelessly at the hospital to which he devoted his remarkable career.

Stephen H. Robinson was an accomplished hematologist at the Beth Israel Hospital as well as a cherished teacher at Harvard Medical School.
He was born and raised in Brooklyn but spent much of his professional life in Boston. Graduating summa cum laude from Harvard College, Robinson went on to Harvard Medical School. He pursued training in Internal Medicine at the Boston City Hosptial, on the Harvard Medical Service. Under the direction of Dr. William Castle, then Chief of Medicine of the Harvard Service, Robinson nurtured an interest in investigative hematology.
Following his clinical training, Robinson went to the NIH where he studied heme degradation and acquired an uncommon expertise in the porphyrias. He returned to Boston and accepted a position at the Beth Israel Hospital as young academic physician. Here he continued studying heme metabolism, hematopoietic stem cell maturation, and sickle cell anemia. Robinson also developed a reputation as an outstanding clinician whose gentle manner and clinical acumen earned the affection of patients.
Teaching held a special appeal to Robinson and he is remembered as an exceptional educator. He not only received an appointment as Firm Chief at the Beth Israel Hospital but also was the first Master of the William Castle Society at HMS. His patience and high expectations encouraged both students and house officers to strive to a deeper understanding of pathophysiology.
Robinson is remembered as a humble, ethical, and unpretentious man whose talents as a scientist, clinician, and educator will be cherished by his patients and his students. The Robinson Firm now honors his lasting contributions to education at Beth Israel Hospital; it was named in his honor after his early death in 1998 at the age of 65.

James Lyman Tullis, a world-renowned hematologist, Professor at Harvard Medical School, Chairman of the Department of Medicine, and Physician-In- Chief at New England Deaconess Hospital, was born in Newark, Ohio. He graduated from Rollins College in Florida and received his medical degree from Duke University in 1940. After completing his medical training at Roosevelt Hospital in New York, Tullis served as a captain in the Army Medical Corps during World War II. He joined the staff of New England Deaconess Hospital in Boston in 1948 as a research fellow in clinical Pathology, working with Shields Warren to investigate the permeability of white blood cells. The results of these studies were published in the American Journal of Physiology and this represented just one of 143 publications during his lifetime.
As a clinical investigator, Tullis gained international recognition for his research on the separation, collection and preservation of human blood components. He developed a new method of freezing and storing red blood cells. He did so by fine tuning the glycerol freezing process by determining the quantity and type of glycerol needed to freeze red blood cells, as well as how long and at what temperature the cells should be frozen. He then discovered a method for long-term storage and transfusion of these red cells. While at Harvard, Tullis also worked with Edward Cohn to help develop the Cohn fractionater, which is used to prepare human platelets for transfusion.
In his nearly 40 years at New England Deaconess Hospital, Tullis had numerous achievements. He served as Chairman of the Department of Medicine and Physician-In-Chief from 1964-1981. During this time he created an in-house graduate training program and recruited full-time interns and residents. He also recruited brilliant faculty members who were able to complete the research and training necessary to become affiliated with Harvard Medical School. The Deaconess Hospital was officially established as a Harvard teaching hospital in the early 1980s. After retiring as Chairman of the Department of Medicine, Dr. Tullis remained at Deaconess as an attending physician until his death in 1996.

Howard Hiatt, the first Herrman L. Blumgart Professor of Medicine at Beth Israel Hospital, was born in Patchogue, NY in 1925. He attended Harvard College and received his MD from Harvard Medical School in 1948. He did his internship and residency at Beth Israel Hospital, followed by a fellowship in medicine at Cornell. He returned to Beth Israel in 1955 as an Instructor in Medicine and has worked at Harvard in some capacity ever since.
Hiatt's research career began with the study of messenger RNA and its role in abnormal cell growth. He published numerous journal articles and books on this topic and collaborated with many eminent scientists including James Watson at Cold Spring Harbor and Jacques Monod at the Pasteur Institute in France.
At the same time that he was establishing his research career, Hiatt was becoming a superior clinician and teacher. In 1963 (at the age of only 37) he became the first Herrman L. Blumgart Professor of Medicine and Physician-in-Chief of Beth Israel Hospital. Hiatt was at this time also serving as editor of the Beth Israel Seminars in Medicine, an ongoing series in the New England Journal of Medicine.
In 1972, Hiatt was named Dean of the Harvard School of Public Health. His time there was somewhat tumultuous - his faculty once circulated a well-publicized petition to oust him. He was strongly supported, however, by Derek Bok, then President of Harvard University. By the time Hiatt left the HSPH in 1984, he had strengthened ties with the faculty and moved the school in positive directions, both financially and academically.
After Hiatt stepped down as Dean, he decided to devote less time to administrative work and more to research, teaching, writing, and public health policy. He collaborated on research on medical errors and lobbied Senator Edward Kennedy for changes such that doctors would have more incentives to prevent these errors. He wrote multiple op-ed pieces in The Boston Globe, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal about such subjects HIV/AIDS and abortion rights. He wrote extensively in the about nuclear war, which he referred to as the "next epidemic" which would devastate the country; he met with President Reagan to discuss these views.
Currently, Hiatt raises money and awareness for Partners in Health, a non- profit organization for international health run by Doctors Paul Farmer and Jim Kim. This dedicated to curing multi-drug resistant tuberculosis in Haiti, Peru, and Mexico.

Robert C. Moellering, Jr. was born in Lafayette, Indiana. Majoring in zoology, he graduated from Valparaiso University with highest distinction and pursued his medical degree at Harvard, graduating cum laude in 1962. He completed his internship, residency in Internal Medicine, and fellowship in Infectious disease all at the Massachusetts General Hospital, where he was known as "the fellow who knew more than all the attendings." Following his fellowship he became Instructor in Medicine at Harvard Medical School and over the next ten years was promoted to Professor. In 1981 he became Physician-in-Chief and Chairman of the Department of Medicine at the Deaconess Hospital where he led the department through its merger with the Beth Israel; when he began at the Deaconess, it was a fledgling academic department with fewer than 20 faculty holding Harvard appointments. When he stepped down as Chairman in 2005, he was leading one of the world's most prominent departments, with over 400 full-time faculty.
In addition to his administrative leadership, Moellering has been one of the world's most respected leaders in infectious diseases. Publishing more than 325 original articles, he has made major advances in the understanding and development of antimicrobial agents. Moellering was the first to recognize the clinical importance Enterococcus, organisms that were at one time considered harmless. He went on to define enterococcus' specific profiles and mechanisms of resistance, leading to the development of a laboratory test that is now used worldwide. He was also the first to show the clinical effectiveness of penicillin-gentamicin combination therapy for enterococcal endocarditis, now the standard treatment for this infection. Moellering has had widespread influence on the development of numerous antimicrobials, including his instrumental work in deriving the nomogram for vancomycin dosing in patients with impaired renal function, and his contributions toward elucidating mechanisms vancomycin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus. Moellering has served as editor and editor-in-chief for many prominent infectious disease and internal medicine journals, but he may be best known to residents and students worldwide, however, as the lead author of the Sanford Guide to Antimicrobial Therapy. To students and residents at BIDMC, Moellering will always be known for his humble yet informative and engaging teaching style and his commitment and dedication to the housestaff.
In celebrating Moellering's term as Chairman, Dr. Jerome Groopman noted, "How many of us has he supported on his shoulders? How many of us has he helped to move forward when we felt we didn't have the energy or endurance to continue? Those shoulders have carried enormous burdens, carried with a quiet confidence, through all the difficult times, the growth of the department, the merger…. Bob is loved because beyond his intellect, beyond his knowledge, beyond his hard work, he is filled with a unique form of kindness. Bob has true generosity of spirit. He sees your success as his success. This is his legacy."

Concluding our 3 part series on bulletproofing your CORE, this final installment is a complete review of Tony Horton's P90X3. My personal interest here are the 30 minutes or less (for those with limited down time) exercises for developing the CORE and FAST TWITCH muscles (via plyometrics). Tony Horton is the creator of the world famous P90X and related programs with over 6.5 million copies sold to date. P90X3 is for anyone who wants to get ripped by working out just 30 minutes a day. Tony Horton not only gets you in the best shape of your life with P90X - he keeps it fun, safe, and effective for people of all fitness levels. If you want exceptional results and aren't afraid of a challenging workout, P90X3 is the perfect program for you.
My intention is NOT to follow this program to get ripped in 30 minutes a day or lose weight. Those are just added bonuses if it worked for me. My focus is to develop my CORE and FAST TWITCH muscles.
You could follow any of the included programs or pick the ones that are relevant to your training. P90X3 has 4 unique schedules that include the same workouts, but differ based on your fitness goals. P90X3 Classic is a traditional balance of cardio and resistance for total-body fitness. P90X3 Lean is for those who prefer a more toned look. P90X3 Mass is for increasing bulk while still getting ripped. P90X3 Doubles is for those who are ready to take it up a notch to accelerate both their fitness gains and weight loss.
I focused on only 4 of the 16 workouts for now to develop my CORE and FAST TWITCH muscles:
1. X3 Yoga - CORE focus
2. Pilates X - CORE focus
3. Isometrix - CORE focus
4. Triometrics - FAST TWITCH focus
Just going through the 30+ minutes of each workout routine to full completion is a challenge. It will take more than (with extra rest in between) the initial length as you get used to it. And when you're done with the workout, you might not want to move again! I will do my training runs in the morning and pick one of the many workouts in the afternoons or evenings. P90X3 recommends 6 days of workouts a week with 1 day of rest. Do them at your own pace and make sure you have at least one day of rest. I started off with two to three alternating workouts a week. If you want to really follow the program, there is an included schedule that you can follow for the full 90 days.
Watching the videos are one thing, doing the workouts is another. I usually watch the whole workout video to familiarize myself with the moves or poses before actually going through a complete 30 minute workout. Some may LOOK easy but I guarantee you they are NOT - try the Warrior 3 pose (airplane in Isometrix) for 45 seconds! And you will burn your muscles the first three weeks. But keeping doing it as long as possible to retain the progress from each week - never stop for more than two weeks or everything you have gained (progress) are lost - RESET...
In terms of shoes, make sure you wear minimalist shoes that are flexible, low stack height, and wide toe box like Merrell Vapor Glove, Vibram Five Fingers Spyridon LS, and SKORA FIT, just a few of my favorites for workouts. Cross flit shoes like the New Balance Minimus MX20 is also an option.
In general, even if you are not training for any competitive events, going through some of these workouts will still help and complement your strength training. You will feel better overall but most important of all, injury-resistant with a bulletproof CORE. One of my colleague is training for the Ironman and he has already gone through all the SMRT-CORE DVD, INSANITY, and P90X workouts - he swears by it. So mix it up!

Duke vs. Duke: Both sides need to figure out amicable accord
Published: Wednesday, July 16, 2014 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 15, 2014 at 6:28 p.m.
Some legal actions are just downright silly. That's the reaction to news that heirs of John "Duke" Wayne and Duke University once again have turned to the courts in a battle over the name. The heirs want to market bourbon with bottles that bear the famous nickname of the late actor; Duke officials say such action would violate the university's trademark.
No sensible person would confuse an alcoholic beverage with a picture of the actor with a gun that displays the word "Duke" with a liberal arts college in North Carolina with a Blue Devil mascot. Yet university lawyers claim the bourbon could "diminish, dilute and tarnish" the value of the name, according to an Associated Press story. Both institutions hold trademarks on the name.
And they're not the only ones — the United States Patent and Trademark Office lists more than 250 active trademarks that include "Duke." Southerners will be very familiar with one: Duke's Mayonnaise. Music fans will nod their heads and tap their toes to the sounds of jazz great Duke Ellington. No one seems to confuse those two products with either the actor or the university.
Companies and people will go to great lengths to protect their image, copyrights and trademarks. One can understand doing so if a copycat sells a questionable product, engages in undesirable behavior or attempts to confused consumers with a similar-sounding name. Sometimes these cases justifiably end in the court system, where a judge or jury makes the final determination.
But in other cases, like the Duke conflict, common sense goes out the window. That's especially true of a rather common word like duke. Its original meaning refers to a ruler or nobleman in Europe. Its verb tense refers to a fight, which is appropriate considering the latest legal wrangling. Just because a word becomes a proper noun in certain contexts doesn't allow the organization to banish all other uses.
The best course of action would be for a judge to quickly dismiss the case and tell both sides they were acting foolishly and to work out an agreement. The United States is certainly big enough to accommodate the university and its use of Duke and the late actor's heirs and their use of Duke. The courts have plenty of more serious issues to decide as well. As with many things, money serves as the ultimate motivation in this situation, but plenty exists for both sides, whether someone wants to enjoy an alcoholic beverage associated with an iconic actor or wear clothing supporting the sports teams of a prominent university.

Background: In AIDS, nodular skin disease can result from various causes.
Objective: To report a new manifestation of microsporidial infection presenting as nodular skin disease with underlying osteomyelitis.
Design: Case report.
Setting: Tertiary-care military medical center in Washington, D.C.
Patient: A 36-year-old woman with late-stage AIDS who presented with disseminated, nodular cutaneous lesions and underlying osteomyelitis.
Measurements: Disseminated microsporidial infection with an Encephalitozoon-like species was diagnosed by electron microscopic examination of material obtained from the skin lesions.
Intervention: The patient received long-term oral clindamycin therapy, which cured her disseminated infection.
Conclusions: Microsporidia can cause disseminated cutaneous infections in AIDS patients. The response of this patient to long-term clindamycin therapy merits further evaluation.
Gram stain of nodule aspirate. Many beaded, gram-positive organisms are present. Transmission electron micrograph of skin aspirate. Two microsporidia are visible in a portion of the aspirated material. Both have obvious clear external spaces corresponding to a chitinous coat. The circular coils of the polar tubules can be seen in each organism. Other sections showed similar organisms throughout the aspirated material (original magnification, x40 000).

Kenan Sofuoğlu
Once a biker who raced purely for pleasure, Kenan Sofuoğlu is Turkey's first motor sport world champion, chalking up yet another success every time he goes on the track.
We know him for the success to which he dedicated almost half his young life. What I mean is a photo that was taken on the day he first ascended the champions' platform. But in the same breath with his name, we also have to mention the twenty-four years Kenan Sofuoğlu devoted to reaching that moment. When we look back at the story of this young sportsman, we are struck by many things: ambition, talent, boundless family support, sibling solidarity, marketing tactics, and, in the end, brand name sponsors.
His story begins in his auto mechanic father's repair shop in Adapazarı. A speed buff in love with the roar of the engine like the other members of the family, Kenan Sofuoğlu learned all there was to know about motors as a boy. Like his older brothers who raced in motorcycle championships, he developed an early interest in the sport and since the age of six when he first started racing with special permission has risen steadily step by step in a brilliant career. The Turkey Supersport runner-up in 2001, he set his sights higher and moved to Germany in 2002. At that time, when he first set foot on the European tracks, he quickly succeeded in attracting attention in the Yamaha Cup Championship. Champion in several races both in Turkey and elsewhere up to now, Sofuoğlu has won 50 cups abroad and over 650 in Turkey. And today he is planning new championship targets as a biker who has won race after race in the World Supersport Championship, so highly coveted by all the leading European teams.
Could you tell us about some of the turning points in your life? The first day you rode a bike, for example. Or the day your father signed the papers allowing you to race.
The turning point for me was actually when I came in last in the first Yamaha Cup that I entered in Germany and then when I got fired up and really put my mind to it in the next race after that and won. That experience was the most significant turning point for me as a step towards my world champion title today. The first race that I entered by special permission of the Motorcycle Federation of Turkey was another turning point.
When Formula One came to Istanbul your success fueled spectator interest in motor sports in Turkey, which has been a major factor in the Turkish team racing regularly in Dakar. How would you assess Turkey's situation with regard to motor sports today?
Attitudes towards motor sports have really changed in Turkey in the last three years. Of course the construction of Istanbul Park has had a big share in that. The world-scale events that you could only watch on television before are being held now in our own country. Consequently they've started attracting the interest of a broader group of people. But we still have a long way to go. A total of 35 thousand people watched the MotoGP races, for example, but 120 thousand come to the same race in Spain. What this actually shows is that we aren't doing enough promotion. My becoming world champion caused quite a stir in Europe. They often say how great it is that I have scored a success of such proportions.
Have you ever been on the point of giving up?
After my first race in Germany when I came in last I told my Dad, "Let's give this up and go back home." But my Dad said I shouldn't give up and that I had to keep going to the end. He convinced me to continue racing. That played a big role in the success I've achieved today.
Sponsors are very important in motor sports. How would you compare the concept of sponsorship in Turkey with that in other countries?
I'd like to give you an example. My teammate Charpentier, for example, the 2006 world Supersport champion, has a lot of personal sponsors in his country, France. Maybe it's because here in Turkey we don't have any trademarks that compete globally. I showed signs of making a name in the world in the last three years. When I became world champion, there was of course an increase in the number of people who wanted to back me. As you know I even appeared in some commercials. The personal sponsorship agreements I've made with global brands are only slowly coming up to world standards and to the levels I'd like to see.
You've also raced in cross-country. Did your cross-country technique affect the development of your track technique, and if so how?
There's a different technique for each category. Cross-country is a kind of racing more under conditions of terrain and with obstacles. But the answer to your question is, yes, of course it did. Driving a motorcycle of any kind is an experience, even for the man in the street.
Apart from actually riding, do you do any training to stay in shape?
Yes, I work with equipment all the time to stay in shape. I have to watch my weight and keep fit. You race not just with your head but with your whole physique. Therefore you have to have a healthy mind and also a strong body. If there are no sports facilities where I am, I walk or run. In other words, I have to do sports, no matter what.
We've heard that you are also a skilled mechanic. At what stage in the race is that know-how useful?
Whenever I sense problems on warm-up and practice runs, I immediately talk with the mechanics and make sure everything is in tiptop shape. My knowledge of motors is more useful before the race. It helps me to race with an engine that's ready to go.
Besides continuing to be champion, do you have any dreams of future projects that would promote the development of motor sports in Turkey?
Yes, I do. I'm thinking of opening a school like the MotoGP Academy. Why shouldn't we have guys who race like those in Spain and Italy? For that I would like to open a racing academy in the future. I already have some plans and projects. But I think that in order to have a population that rides bikes and loves motor sports, you also have to give reliable driver education.

I'm trying to write a batch file to
- Access \sharelocation\folder\file
- Compare that file to c:\folder\file
- If the files are the same, run the local file.
- If the files are different, replace the local file and run the new local file.
I'm stuck on the first part. Is there a good way to do this?
Maybe I can use
net to map the share to a fixed letter if not already mapped then use
fc /b?
