[High Praise! to The Real Revo]
"allows the weapon to be used as a spear"
Liberals don't even know the difference between a spear and a lance – why would we expect them to know the difference between semi-automatic and fully-automatic?
Great. Now I have no where to put my sling…
…it doesn't change the function of the rifle, but can add an intimidating presence…
Erm…kinda like Brock Lesnar, high on meth, menacingly revving a chainsaw?
Now I'm confused. Does this mean I have to start attaching the sling to that thingy on the front of my Yugo SKS?
So, basically just a fine example that there are undoubtedly plenty of other falsehoods printed in that paper every day that we don't take the time to check if they have an F-ing clue…
Saying *this* should also disqualify one:
"Joe Biden exceeded today's gaffe quota at a campaign event in Las Vegas, asking twice if anyone in the crowd knew someone who served in "Iraq or Iran," then saying in a reference to Paul Ryan's book Young Guns, "unfortunately the bullets are aimed at you."
(- Margaret Hartmann, New York magazine's Daily Intelligencer, 10/18/12)
So…it doesn't change the function of the rifle…except that it does. It's now more lethal in the hands of a trained bayonet fighter.
Drill SGT: There are two types of bayonet fighters! What are they?
Enlistees: The Quick! And the Dead!
DS: What kind are you?
E: The Quick!
DS: I can't hear yooooou!!!
DS: And what are THEY?
E: The DEAD!! The DEAD!! The DEAD!!
DS: Hoo-aah!
…And then a Q&A on what makes grass grow (BLOOD!), and what makes the grass green (GUTS!!) would inevitably follow.
God, I loved Basic Training!!
It must have been written by Carolyn McCarthy after she showed us how smart she was with "…the shoulder thing that goes up…"

8.2-18 Carrying or Brandishing Facsimile Firearm in a Threatening Manner -- § 53-206c (c)
Revised to December 1, 2007
The defendant is charged [in count __] with carrying or brandishing a facsimile firearm. The statute defining this offense reads in pertinent part as follows:
no person shall (carry / draw / exhibit / brandish) a facsimile of a firearm or simulate a firearm in a threatening manner, with intent to frighten, vex or harass another person.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
Element 1 - Carried, drew,
exhibited or brandished a facsimile firearm
The first element is that the defendant (carried / drew / exhibited / brandished) a (facsimile / simulated) firearm. <Insert as appropriate:>
"Carry" means to have upon one's person and within one's control or dominion, meaning that the person must be aware of its presence.1
"Brandish" means to "to wave, shake, or exhibit in a menacing, challenging, or exultant way; to flourish."
Element 2 - Facsimile could
pass as a real firearm
The second element is that the facsimile was such that it could reasonably be perceived as a real firearm. "Firearm" is any sawed-off shotgun, machine gun, rifle, shotgun, pistol, revolver or other weapon, whether loaded or unloaded, from which a shot may be discharged.2
A "facsimile of a firearm" is (A) any nonfunctional imitation of an original firearm which was manufactured, designed and produced since 1898, or (B) any nonfunctional representation of a firearm other than an imitation of an original firearm, provided such representation could reasonably be perceived to be a real firearm. Such term does not include any look-a-like, nonfiring, collector replica of an antique firearm developed prior to 1898, or traditional BB or pellet-firing air gun that expels a metallic or paint-contained projectile through the force of air pressure.
Element 3 - Threatening manner
The third element is that the (facsimile / simulated) firearm was (carried / drew / exhibited / brandished) in a threatening manner.
Element 4 - Intent
The fourth element is that the defendant specifically intended to frighten, vex or harass another person. A person acts "intentionally" with respect to a result when (his/her) conscious objective is to cause such result. <See Intent: Specific, Instruction 2.3-1.>
In summary, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that 1) the defendant (carried / drew / exhibited / brandished) a facsimile firearm, 2) the facsimile could reasonably be perceived as a real firearm, 3) (he/she) did so in a threatening manner, and 4) (he/she) had the intent to frighten, vex or harass another person.
If you unanimously find that the state
has proved beyond a reasonable doubt each of the elements of the crime of
carrying or brandishing a facsimile firearm, then you shall find the defendant
guilty. On the other hand, if you unanimously find that the state has failed to
prove beyond a reasonable doubt any of the elements, you shall then find the
defendant not guilty.

2.6-4 Identification of Defendant
Revised to June 12, 2015
The state has the burden of proving beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was the perpetrator of the crime.
[<Include if appropriate:> The defendant denies that (he/she) is the person who was involved in the commission of the alleged offense(s).]
In this case, the state has presented evidence that an eyewitness identified the defendant in connection with the crime charged. Identification is a question of fact for you to decide, taking into consideration all the evidence that you have seen and heard in the course of the trial.
The identification of the defendant by a single witness as the one involved in the commission of a crime is, in and of itself, sufficient to justify a conviction of such a person, provided, of course, that you are satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt of the identity of the defendant as the one who committed the crime. In arriving at a determination as to the matter of identification, you should consider all the facts and circumstances that existed at the time of the observation of the perpetrator by each witness. In this regard, the reliability of each witness is of paramount importance, since identification testimony is an expression of belief or impression by the witness. Its value depends upon the opportunity and ability of the witness to observe the perpetrator at the time of the event and to make an accurate identification later. It is for you to decide how much weight to place upon such testimony.
Capacity and opportunity of the
witness to observe the perpetrator1
In appraising the identification of the defendant as the perpetrator by any witness, you should take into account whether the witness had adequate opportunity and ability to observe the perpetrator on the date in question. This will be affected by such considerations as the length of time available to make the observation; the distance between the witness and the perpetrator; the lighting conditions at the time of the offense; whether the witness had known or seen the person in the past; the history, if any, between them, including any degree of animosity; and whether anything distracted the attention of the witness during the incident. You should also consider the witness's physical and emotional condition at the time of the incident, and the witness's powers of observation in general.
[<Include if appropriate:> In general, a witness bases any identification on (his/her) sense of sight. But this is not necessarily so. An identification based on other senses, such as smell or the sound of the perpetrator's voice is just as valid.]Circumstances of identification
Furthermore, you should consider the length of time that elapsed between the occurrence of the crime and the identification of the defendant by the witness. You may also consider the strength of the identification, including the witness's degree of certainty. Certainty, however, does not mean accuracy. You should also take into account the circumstances under which the witness first viewed and identified the defendant, the suggestibility, if any, of the procedure used in that viewing, any physical descriptions that the witness may have given to the police, and all the other factors which you find relating to reliability or lack of reliability of the identification of the defendant.
[<Include if appropriate:> You may also take into account that an identification made by picking the defendant out of a group of similar individuals is generally more reliable than one which results from the presentation of the defendant alone to the witness.]
[<Include if appropriate:>2 The identification of the defendant by the witness, <insert name of witness>, was the result of an identification procedure in which the individual conducting the procedure either indicated to the witness that a suspect was present in the procedure or failed to warn the witness that the perpetrator may or may not be in the procedure.
Indicating to a witness that a suspect is present in an identification procedure or failing to warn the witness that the perpetrator may or may not be in the procedure may increase the likelihood that the witness will select one of the individuals in the procedure even when the perpetrator is not present. Thus, such action on the part of the procedure administrator may increase the probability of a misidentification.
This information is not intended to direct you to give more or less weight to the eyewitness identification evidence offered by the state. It is your duty to determine what weight to give to that evidence. You may, however, take into account this information, as just explained to you, in making that determination.]Consistency of identification
You may consider whether the witness at any time either failed to identify the defendant or made an identification that was inconsistent with the identification testified to at trial.
Credibility of witness
You will subject the testimony of any identification witness to the same standards of credibility that apply to all the witness. When assessing the credibility of the testimony as it relates to the issue of identification, keep in mind that it is not sufficient that the witness be free from doubt as to the correctness of the identification of the defendant; rather, you must be satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt of the accuracy of the identification of the defendant before you may find (him/her) guilty on any charge.
[<If there has been expert testimony of eyewitness identification:> You heard the testimony of <insert name of witness> on the (psychological / sociological / statistical) research on eyewitness identification. You should evaluate that testimony as I have instructed you on expert testimony.]3
In short, you must consider the
totality of the circumstances affecting the identification. Remember, the state
has the burden to not only prove every element of the crime but also the
identity of the defendant as the perpetrator of the crime. You must be
satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt of the identity of the defendant as the one
who committed the crime, or you must find the defendant not guilty. If you have
a reasonable doubt as to the accuracy of the identification, you must find the
defendant not guilty.
1 In United States v. Telfaire, 469 F.2d 552 (D.C. Cir. 1972), the court proposed a model instruction which has been followed substantially by many jurisdictions. While Connecticut courts "have used the model Telfaire instruction as an aid in determining the adequacy of an instruction on eyewitness identification . . . we have never required that it be given verbatim in order to ensure that the jury is properly guided." (Citations omitted; internal quotation marks omitted.) State v. Tatum, 219 Conn. 721, 733-34 (1991). The Telfaire instruction has four components: 1) the capacity and opportunity of the witness to observe the offender; 2) the circumstances surrounding the subsequent identification; 3) whether the witness at any time either failed to identify the defendant or made an identification inconsistent with that made at trial; and 4) the credibility of the witness making the identification. This instruction complies with the substantive requirements of Telfaire in all respects, but should be modified according to the specific facts of the case and the particular claims of the defendant regarding the identification(s).
2 State v. Ledbetter, 275 Conn. 534 (2005), requires specific instructions on identification procedures under certain circumstances. See discussion of Ledbetter below.
3 See State v. Guilbert, 306 Conn. 218 (2012), for a thorough discussion of allowing expert testimony on eyewitness identification.
A defendant who raises the defense of mistaken identity is entitled to an instruction. State v. Whipper, 258 Conn. 229, 285 (2001), overruled on other grounds, State v Cruz, 269 Conn. 97 (2004) ("trial court properly charged the jury that the state had to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant had committed the offenses charged and that the jury should consider the defendant's defense of mistaken identity and the evidence he had submitted in support of that defense."); State v. Dubose, 75 Conn. App. 163, 172-73, cert. denied, 263 Conn. 909 (2002) (reviewing nearly identical instruction).
"[A] trial court's refusal to give any special instruction whatsoever on the dangers inherent in eyewitness identification constitutes reversible error where the conviction of the defendant turns upon the testimony of eyewitnesses who were uncertain, unclear or inconsistent." (Internal quotation marks omitted.) State v. Tatum, supra, 219 Conn. 733 n.18; see also State v. Cerilli, 222 Conn. 556, 567 (1992); State v. Taft, 57 Conn. App. 19, 30 n.8 (2000), aff'd by 258 Conn. 412 (2001); State v. Askew, 44 Conn. App. 280, 287-90 (1997), rev'd on other grounds, 245 Conn. 351 (1998); State v. Collins, 38 Conn. App. 247, 254 n.6 (1995).
The fact that the defendant and the eyewitness are of different races does not entitle the defendant to a special instruction on cross-racial identification. State v. Cerelli, supra, 222 Conn. 571-72; State v. Wiggins, 74 Conn. App. 703, 708 (2003) (defendant could have raised the issue of the reliability of the identification in cross-examination).Overly suggestive identification procedures -- the Ledbetter instruction
In a challenge to the standard identification procedures employed by law enforcement, the Supreme Court, in State v. Ledbetter, 275 Conn. 534 (2005), declined to adopt a per se rule that juries should be instructed that such identifications have a high potential for unreliability. It did conclude, however, that "an indication by the identification procedure administrator that a suspect is present in the procedure is an unnecessarily suggestive element of the process that should be considered by the trial court in its analysis. . . . . [The Court] also [agreed] that the trial court, as part of its analysis, should consider whether the identification procedure administrator instructed the witness that the perpetrator may or may not be present in the procedure and should take into account the results of the research studies concerning that instruction." (Citations omitted.) Id., 574-75. Consequently, the Court held that trial courts should instruct the jury as to the possible risk of misidentification "in those cases where the identification procedure administrator fails to provide such a warning, unless no significant risk of misidentification exists." Id., 575.
Specifically, the court must give the instruction in those cases in which:
1) the state has offered eyewitness identification evidence;
2) that evidence resulted from an identification procedure; and
3) the administrator of that procedure failed to instruct the witness that the perpetrator may or may not be present in the procedure.
Note that the court "decline[d] to
delineate all of the potential factual variations that might result in the trial
court finding no significant risk of misidentification, [but noted] that one
example would be where the defendant was known by the witness before the
incident occurred. The trial court should make its determination of whether a
significant risk of misidentification exists on the basis of the totality of the
circumstances." Id., 579 n.26.

I have found yoga to be really helpful with back pain. Anyone else? What are some poses you find helpful?
I love yoga for my back. I have piriformis(?) injury so the side bends and warrior poses I have to be careful in getting back up but I find wide stance downward dog is very helpful.
i dont necessarily have back pain, but there are some poses that really stretch out the spine, and i love that feeling. one of the best feelings is when you just hang down with your hands near or touching the floor, and release all the tension in your back. you can clasp your elbows so that all of your weight pulls the spine open even more, and i usually get a crack in my back when i do this. shake your head yes and no in this position, and it releases the tension in the neck and shoulders too.
cat cows (on the floor, hands over shoulders, hips over knees, tops of the feet on the floor) are also great for your back. i love the feeling of how it stretches my shoulders in the cat position (making an upside down u-shape, sticking your butt out and looking up at the sky - push your hands deep into the ground), and stretches the lower back in the cow position by making your back into a u-shape, still pushing your hands into the ground.
there is also a pose called happy baby, where you lay on your back and grab your big toes with your hands, your knees should be bent a bit. i find that this pose really releases my lower back and can even hurt for a second before it releases, if my lower back is particularly tight that day.
good luck to you.
Week 5 of One Hour Runner Complete!
I am training for a yet-to-be-determined Triathlon
I think yoga helps with back problems by virtue of the fact that we tend to work our core and that tends to promote better posture. I don't slump at my desk so much since taking up yoga a few months ago. Now to find a solution to stretched hamstring pains!
I am interested in dieting and maintaining a fit and healthy lifestyle. From a high of 15st4lbs I am now 11st10lbs.
My lifestyle is quite sedantary as I write website company reviews of poker sites for a poker blog. Main forms of exercise are swimming, walking, football and squash.
Check this yoga poses specifically for back pain. I love bow and camel pose, the back stretch releases tension and promotes relaxation.
besides yoga poses i use yoga breathing up and down my spine to relax my back. it works really well!
I really like Child Pose to help with my back issues. I also find that the correct workout apparel really helps when I do yoga to help me stay really flexabile (http://expertbrand.com) has really great stuff that I love. The most important thing I try to remember to do is stretch before yoga!

I know this is not suppposed talked about until June 15th. But, wait and you'll understand.
Hypothetically, lol, I have an 11y/o, who is played this year as an 11 y/o right!? Now all-stars are among us. To make this article not so long, I'll just put it point-blank. The president of our league, on his own, without the board of directors being involved, stated that my hypothetical son will be pulled up to the 12 y/o all star team, and if he doesn't, or mainly my point his parents don't want him to, then he will not play at all.
I don't care what little league baseball directors think, and I don't exactly know what the rule is, but I have to believe that the parents should have the ultimate say!
With that said, there is no danger with him playing, he's the top 4 kid, no doubt of all the 11's, and 12's. There's no doubt in my mind that he can play, and can compete as well as any. We have been through that playing up ****, for the first 3 years in select, and it didn't work out for his confidence. This is our main reason, adn his is he's been playing with the 11's all season.
Shouldn't he be allowed to play his own age group? Are they allowed to tell us that if he doesn't play 12's he won't play at all? That just is not what little league baseball should be about..............
From a club ball perspective he is playing within his age group. For example Pony Baseball has a Bronco Division which is 12U which includes 11's & 12's. You and your son should consider it an honor that your son has been selected to represent his community. If the team should not advance far, it could give your son the experience and preparation to go further next year.
We absolutely agree that it is an honor. We all know he is talented. It comes from all the hard work in the backyard and at the expense of my shoulder. I know you know what I'm talking about.....lol He deserves it if work ethic has anything to do with it. He lives, eats, and breathes baseball. He's been on every all star team since he was old enough. There's alot more to it like, the ex-pres's kid is 12 and this is his last year. So, he's making any move he can, fair or not, to give his kid one last chance. At the expense of my kid. I take that very personal. He doesn't care about the 11's. There's a better chance the 11's could go to state and win, than the 12's going to the LLWS. It's not about THE kids to him, it's about HIS kid. Oh, did I mention he's coaching the 12's now. Hmmmm, just feels and smells like there's something underhanded going on, which is the reason I wanted to read the rule about picking all stars. My son has been playing for the same coach for years, select and league. Why punish HIM by making HIM play up even if he doesn't want too. I guess the biggest beef I have is, they gave us the ultimatum, he plays for the 12's or he doesn't play at all. Honestly how would you feel? That's wrong no matter how you look at it. They tried to pass all this without the board/parents knowing about it. I guess they thought it would fly. Once we got wind of it, there was 2 emergency board meetings called. I think we have it worked out now. At least it's being voted on from unbiast parents on the board from a list each coach has made and turned in. I just want to know where to find, or who to talk to about the actual rule for picking all stars. They keep saying it's changed this year, stating they have to make the best 12 y/o team they can first, even if it means playing up some 11 y/os without having to have the parents consent, even if there are enough 12 y/o, nixing them if you will for an 11 y/o that's better. You know? Just doesn't sound right. I don't think little league is set up that way. The ex pres and the new pres are buddies too. I know it sounds like whining, but noone has the right to tell my kid where he's going to play! Unless he get a full ride to UT or something......lol
P.S. We'll find out tomorrow what team he ends up on, I'll keep ya posted if you like. You never know when something like this will happen in your neck of the woods. Apparantly presidents get greedy when it's there kids last year....
Oh, I did want to mention also that one of the unbiast parents that is picking the 11 and 12 y/o teams does agree with my wife and I. It should be at the parents discretion to play up or not. And, she's the one that kept the concession stand running so smoothly for the last 2 years. If you've been in baseball for anytime at all, you know what a pain that is. Opening and closing, going to sams, counting money, getting people to run it when it's there turn....etc...
Anyway, let you know soon. Thanks for listening
What "division" did he play in during the Regular Season?
Sounds like he played Majors, in which case I assume the league is looking for him to play on the 11-12 (Majors) Tournament Team. How is an 11 year old playing on the 11-12 team "playing up"? He played majors all season and he is up for selection on the major tournament team, personally I don't see that as playing up.
Are you saying you would rather have him on the 10-11 Tournament Team rather than the 11-12 Tournament Team but the league (President) says if he does not play on the 11-12 team he will not be allowed to play on the 10-11 Team?
One last thing - there is "No Rule" that governs how a league picks its Tournament Teams. It's up to the local BOD and it should be described in your Local Rules BEFORE the season starts (so everyone knows ahead of time how it will be done)! That said, many/most leagues put their best players on the 11-12 (Major) Team and then work down from there.
We don't play Little League we play Pony. We send two teams to All Stars, with the A team being predominately 12's and the B teams being mostly 11's. The problem is the B teams face the A teams in all stars. So if you have a weak B team they are going to play three and go home. So we prefer that he plays "up" with the 12's.
He played in the National League which is comprised of 11-12 y/o's. But were sending a 9-10 y/o, an 11 y/o, and a 12 y/o all star team. My son is 11. I want him to play on the 11 y/o all star team. They want him on the 12 y/o all star team, that is what I mean by playing up. It's about them telling the parents, whoever they are, they have no say at all.
In LL there is a 9-10 Tournament and a 10-11 Tournament both of which stop at State Level.
The 11-12 Tournament (Majors) goes all the way to Williamsport.
So, that being the case, MOST leagues put their best 11-12 players on the 11-12 Team. To me having an 11 year old on the 11-12 team is not playing up. Having an 11 year old who "should" be on the 11-12 team playing on the 10-11 team by "parent request" is playing down.
Around here, leagues pick "the best players" for the 11-12 team, if a selected player does NOT want to play on the 11-12 then he is not allowed to play on the 10-11 team. Same thing for a 10 year old, if he's picked for the 10-11 and says NO then he can't play 9-10.
Is that right - maybe/maybe not, but it is the way it is.
Ok, I'm not explaining it good enough I guess. Sorry!
Here we have a 9-10 y/o all star team. We also have an 11 y/o all star team. We also have a 12 y/o all star team. My son is 11. The powers that be are only trying to pad their 12 y/o team because the President and the ex president are buds. The ex pres's son is 12 and this is his last chance at a shot for Williamsport. My son has to play with the 12 y/o's during the season, because as you say it is comprised of 11's and 12's called the National League here, I think in the book it is the "Majors" not sure. That is NOT the case with All-Stars. We have an 11 y/o team, filled with only 11 y/o's who are very, very good, who have a lot better chance of going to state, than the 12's have going to Williamsport. With that said, I'm not arguing about what kids should go where. I'm arguing about the president, without the BOD's, cannot say we're pulling your kid up whether you like it or not.
Next year he will be playing as a 12 y/o as will all the other good 11 y/o's. Who know's......Williamsport?
+So, that being the case,
MOST leagues put their best 11-12 players on the 11-12 Team. To me
having an 11 year old on the 11-12 team is not playing up. Having an 11
year old who "should" be on the 11-12 team playing on the 10-11 team by
"parent request" is playing down.+
As per this statement, we don't have an 11-12 y/o all star team.......SEE FIRST SENTENCE
Thanks for trying to clarify it for me, but the president here is honestly the Dumbest person I have ever met. Literally. Dumb! He's only doing what the ex pres tells him to, whether fair or not. Had it not been for the BOD's finding out and putting a stop to it, it would have been really bad. Larry Brown, who is the District 3 president was brought into it all. It was pretty bad. We almost lost all rights to all stars, and possible our "not going to say the name" league.....

Topic: Dieting
Hi everyone,
Promised to keep you up to date about the new eating pattern we are following. We started in July and Peter had a blood test every month. Up till now, all the values have stayed about the same since half July. No better, but we feel it as a profit that it hasnot deteriorated. Also, Peter used to have fever attacks every 6-8 weeks. Since 20th of July there hasnot been one (knock on wood).
One can never prove that our healthy way of eating is the cause, but at least it feels good and it is giving us confidence that it buys us time. So we will continue.
We are even so bold that we booked a weeks holiday in Greece!
Love and all the best to you all,

The worst fears of parents and staff in the Santa Clara Unified School District are coming true following the November election of two trustees, Chris Stampolis and Michele Ryan. They have been just as divisive, petty and unreasonable as those who knew Stampolis, in particular, warned before the election.
After voters ignored the advice of community education leaders, Stampolis and Ryan formed a majority coalition with two trustees of a similar bent, Ina Bendis and Christine Koltermann. The results are as predicted: a board inappropriately micromanaging, interrogating staff and angering teachers and administrators. An estimated 20 percent of top leadership, including respected Superintendent Bobbie Plough, are leaving. Ryan has even gone after a student who dared to criticize the trustees.
The departure of so many essential people is a serious problem; the district has been unable, for example, to fill the crucial budget officer role for more than six months. The community is taking notice, with a petition on the Change.org website declaring a "vote of no confidence" garnering more than 1,800 signatures so far. Now is the time to recruit quality candidates for 2014, when four seats will be up for election, including those held by Bendis and Koltermann.
The Mercury News' Sharon Noguchi detailed the disarray last week. Trustees are usurping the authority of staff; they recently held a detailed discussion, for example, of a school's master schedule, in response to a complaint from a friend of several board members. Trustees are supposed to set policy and refer complaints to administrators, not attempt to resolve them themselves.
Some teachers at Bracher Elementary have been "working to rule" -- to the letter of their contract -- partly to protest Stampolis' remaining as school site council president, an inappropriate dual role. Stampolis' behavior can be so outrageous, it's as though he's either clueless about the importance of personal relationships or hellbent on intentionally destroying them.
Ryan's behavior, too, is strange for someone who claims to want to help students. She attempted to shame a high school junior after he compared the board room to a "gas chamber" during a meeting. Perhaps it wasn't the best metaphor, but Ryan claims it was an affront to Bendis, who is Jewish. Ryan absurdly wrote to the Anti-Defamation League, and the group's response is on Thursday's board agenda. That's quite an example she's setting as an education leader.
Worst of all, the district has real problems the trustees claim to want to solve, including a wide achievement gap. But the trustees will get nowhere by alienating everyone around them.
The Santa Clara Unified board needs to refocus on its primary role: setting policy. The only way that can happen is with new members.

2000-2002 Pontiac Grand Prix Low Engine Coolant Level Indicator Always on (Diagnose Low Coolant Level System
Filed Under (Pontiac) by admin on 17-01-2011
Subject: Models: Low Engine Coolant Level Indicator Always On (Diagnose Low Coolant Level System Operation/Check Sensor for Oil Contamination) 2000-2002 Buick Century, Regal 2000-2001 Chevrolet Lumina 2000-2002 Chevrolet Impala, Monte Carlo 2000-2002 Pontiac Grand Prix 2000-2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue Condition Some customers may comment that the low engine coolant level indicator is always illuminated. Cause The cause of this condition may be due to engine oil contaminating the coolant. Possible sources of oil contamination are internal engine leaks, improper service procedures, or the addition of some types of anti-leak additives to the cooling system. Once in the coolant, the oil leaves deposits on the level sensor creating an insulating film. This film results in a false activation of the coolant level indicator. Correction Diagnose low coolant level system operation and check the sensor for oil contamination using the procedure listed below. Important: No coolant supplements should be used in GM cooling systems, other than what is approved and recommended by GM. The use of "aftermarket" over-the-counter sealing and cooling supplements may affect the operation of the low coolant level sensor. Discoloration of the coolant recovery bottle is normal and does not necessarily indicate that coolant contamination is present. Flush cooling system only when instructed by this bulletin. 1. Verify that the coolant is at proper level in the radiator and the coolant recovery bottle. If the coolant is low, add proper amount of 50/50 water and DEX-COOL® mixture. If the low coolant light operates properly, diagnose the cooling system for loss of coolant as outlined in SI. DO NOT proceed further with this bulletin. 2. Remove the low coolant level sensor. Refer to Coolant Level Module Replacement in the Engine Cooling sub-section. 3. With the key on, the engine off and the coolant level sensor disconnected from the vehicle wiring harness, observe the low coolant light: • Light is on — Chassis wiring or instrument cluster concern. Follow the appropriate diagnostic information in SI. • Light is out — Proceed to Step 4.

Drug Shortages
Why Drug Shortages Happen—and What to Do
Patient access to medicines is vital for the health of patients and the economy. The issue of drug shortages demands attention and collaboration from everyone involved in providing life-saving medicines. This includes both the pharmaceutical companies producing brand-name medications and generic drug manufacturers (whose products accounted for 88 percent of prescriptions filled in 2013), as well as wholesalers, distributors, pharmacies and healthcare providers.
Shortages affect less than 1 percent of all drugs on the market, and most shortages involve generic medicines, with the FDA specifically calling attention to growing shortages among "older, sterile injectable drugs". However, any shortage of medicines can deeply impact patients. Biopharmaceutical companies have worked to prevent drug shortages in advance, and will continue to work closely with the FDA to prevent manufacturing disruptions.
When your medication is in short supply
As a patient, it's important to know the right steps to take if you are experiencing or anticipating a drug shortage. Patients concerned that their medicine may be in short supply have several options available, including visiting the FDA's Current Drug Shortages page to see if the drug has been reported in short supply. You should also talk to your doctor about other medications that might be an effective substitute.
Watch this video to learn more drug shortage do's and don'ts.
Why drug shortages happen
The factors that contribute to drug shortages are complex and multidimensional. They can occur for a variety of reasons found throughout the supply chain, including:
- shifts in clinical practices
- wholesaler and pharmacy inventory practices
- raw material shortages
- changes in hospital and pharmacy contractual relationships with suppliers and wholesalers
- adherence to distribution protocols mandated by the FDA
- individual company decisions to discontinue specific medicines
- natural disasters
- manufacturing challenges
When a shortage is expected
In the instance a shortage is anticipated, an innovator or generic manufacturer is encouraged to notify the FDA in order to address, avert, and mitigate the problem. In the event that the only version of a medically necessary drug is going to be discontinued, the manufacturer is required to inform the FDA six months in advance.
Pharmaceutical manufacturers have stepped up the voluntary reporting of anticipated events that could lead to drug shortages. According to the FDA, in 2011, this early notification helped prevent over 195 shortages. The biopharmaceutical industry will continue to work with FDA and other stakeholders to improve upon existing reporting requirements. Addressing anticipated occurrences of a drug shortage early in the process helps both healthcare providers and manufacturers identify treatment alternatives more efficiently, and we will continue to work with FDA to improve upon existing reporting requirements.
PhRMA's commitment to preventing shortages
PhRMA member companies are deeply concerned about patients' well-being and are committed to maintaining good manufacturing practices, as well as working closely and collaboratively with the FDA, supply chain partners, and healthcare providers and their patients when unexpected–and rare–shortages of brand-name medicines occur. Our members make significant investments in processes that ensure proper supply of branded medications, and work diligently to alert the FDA of any anticipated shortage. Once notified, the FDA can work with other firms that make similar products to ramp up production and fill any gaps in the domestic supply. When unexpected shortages occur, PhRMA's member companies work closely with the FDA, supply chain partners, and providers.
The problem of price gouging
When a drug shortage happens or one is anticipated, a "gray market" may spring up, with the potential for price gouging. The practice of price gouging by secondary wholesalers, which largely comprise the "gray market" is unacceptable and presents serious concerns for patient safety, as it cannot be assured that the products have been handled in a way that maintains their integrity. The manufacturer of a drug has no influence or control over the prices charged by a secondary wholesaler to a hospital or pharmacy.

Yesterday I successfully compiled pms 1.20.412 on my QNAP ts-239 using ssh through Putty. I started the program using ./PMS.sh through Putty and everything was fine. I can see and stream all files including those with chinese character file name. no problems at all.
The next step was to put the pms into autostart.sh, here is my autostart code
- Code: Select all
#Symlink Optware to /opt
rm -rf /opt
ln -sf /share/HDA_DATA/.qpkg/Optware /opt
#Export Optware PATH
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:/usr/local/sbin" >> /etc/profile
#Start Optware
/etc/init.d/Optware.sh start
#Start JAVA
/share/HDA_DATA/.qpkg/JRE/jre.sh start
#Export JAVA PATH
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jre
#Start PS3 MediaServer
cd /opt/pms
./PMS.sh &
the program started fine however I can only see files with english characters, I no longer be able to see any chinese charactor file showing up. I checked the debug.log however it was exactly the same as i manually run through putty.
does autorun.sh really make any difference than running through putty?

Florida's tomato farms supply 50% of all U.S. fresh tomatoes but have also been called America's 'ground zero for slavery.' Countless workers held against their will, threatened with violence and forced to haul hundreds of heavy tomato buckets a day for little to no pay.
Thankfully, a new solution called the Fair Food Program has been proven successful. The Fair Food Program is working to enforce a policy of zero tolerance for slavery on tomato farms.
But a major U.S. supermarket chain, Publix Super Markets, is refusing to support the Fair Food Program. Publix continues to buy tomatoes from growers that are not partners of the Fair Food Program and where workers still toil beyond the reach of its proven protection from modern slavery.
Will Publix Super Markets, which prides itself on making Fortune's 'Best Companies to Work For' list, continue to turn a blind eye and give excuses, or will it leverage its vast market influence and lead the way in cleaning up slavery in the tomato supply chain once and for all?
Tell Publix to make the right decision to join the Fair Food Program and ensure our tomatoes meet the highest human rights standards in the food industry today.
Dear William Crenshaw, Publix CEO,I was disappointed to learn that Publix Super Markets has refused to join the Fair Food Program. By continuing to do business with tomato farms that do not enforce the Program's principles, you could be supporting slavery. Please take the first steps to ensure your products are free of slave labour by signing the Fair Food Agreement.C.C. Maria Brous, Director of Media and Community Relations, Publix Super Markets Inc.

The dust has settled on the 2012 election and all of us are affected in one way or another. Voters in East Contra Costa, both winners and losers, are asking themselves the same questions. What's in it for me? What did I gain? What do I now have to fear?
Random interviews were conducted with locals. They commented on both the national scene and California, where passage of Proposition 30 and its tax increases dominated most of their responses.
Antioch's Jill P. De Stefano is a teacher at Los Medanos College. "I'm delighted with Prop. 30 passing. It's a big boost for education and everyone agrees it is vitally important. I will be delighted to see it first-hand in my work with students," she said.
Liz Claflin of Antioch also is happy for the kids, but is worried about the tax pressure that Proposition 30 will have on her. "I'm just starting a small business and increased taxes will make it hard for me. Nationally, I trust Obama will do the right thing to help small businesses," she said.
Ruth Kurtz of Brentwood works for a school district. "The money generated from Prop. 30 will help a lot of people. I know it's going to help me. I have kids in school and the minor increase in my taxes is more than OK with me," she said.
Oakley's Gloria Brown is retired and talked about Proposition 30 and Social Security. "We must educate our kids. Without an educated workforce our country can't compete. I don't mind the small tax increase. Obama's re-election makes me more confident that Social Security will continue to help me."
Kathy Smith of Oakley agrees. "Obama isn't going to mess with Social Security or Medicare. I rely on it heavily. But regardless, the elderly will go on being short changed," she said. "But, I am happy that California's schools got the boost they so sorely needed."
Juan Ramirez of Brentwood is pleased with the election results. "The tax increases are small and I can afford it. It's as simple as this. Governments supply vital services and someone has to pay for it. I pay my share willingly. We have a lot of catching up to be done," he said.
John Miller of Brentwood is adopting a wait-and-see attitude. "A lot of good things were said in the campaigns. Now we need to see what's going to happen, particularly with taxes," he said. "It'll be OK if Obama doesn't raise my taxes and keeps American money at home. We've got to get Americans back to work."
Mike Mougeot of Oakley is angry. "I can't afford health insurance, and with Obama back in the White House, I'll be taxed for not having it," he said. "In California, I understand that we have to pay for education. But I don't know where Prop. 30 money is going and I still have to pay."
Contact Ed Arnow at email@example.com.
Antioch's John Riley is even more adamant. "The whole election was disgusting. The entire country is so divided that we're faced with nothing being able to get done. Even in California there was nothing worthwhile on the ballot. It's not only me. Everyone is going to be much worse off."
Nazareth Massey of Antioch also is unhappy. "I see everything costing more, which hurts a lot of us," she said. "And, we're not facing the crucial problem for America. Immigration should be restricted. Aside from that, I was happy with California's election results."

STOCKTON - Police are looking for a man named Benito who stabbed a 49-year-old man he had been drinking with in the parking lot of a south Stockton bar about 2:45 p.m. Sunday.
After the two men were finished drinking, the victim left the area on foot but noticed the man following him. The man then told the victim he was going to kill him, pulled out a knife and stabbed him several times, police said. The victim was taken to a hospital for treatment.
According to police, the suspect is a 25-year-old Latino male with dark hair and a short and stocky build. The suspect was last seen wearing a black shirt, green jacket and black pants, and police said he stays in Mormon Slough.

and Steve Johnson
As the federal government shutdown creeps toward its first full week with no resolution in sight, experts say October could be a cold, dark month for many -- but November could make that look like the good old days.
Millions of Americans are nervously watching their calendars, knowing that support for the basics of daily life -- food, housing, education, jobs -- have begun eroding and could vanish around the end of the month at the earliest, throwing lives into chaos and perhaps tripping up the nation's fragile economic recovery.
"The longer this goes on, the greater uncertainty there will be for funding some of these programs," said H.D. Palmer, deputy director of the California Department of Finance.
This not-so-rosy forecast assumes Congress will raise the nation's debt ceiling by Oct. 17. If it does not, all federal borrowing stops and the government could halt billions of dollars in payouts to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, military pay, veterans benefits and other areas that had survived the shutdown.
However, on Thursday House Speaker John Boehner reportedly told GOP colleagues he won't let the nation default.
But that doesn't mean the shutdown won't continue. If it does, Thanksgiving could find many Americans with little to be thankful for.
The cascading consequences would confront Americans at every level: The poor and elderly would lose access to food and housing, and the better-off would lose government contracts and agency supports for investment in companies and jobs.
California's food stamp program supporting nutrition for 1.9 million poor residents would run out in November, as would school programs serving about 4.5 million meals a day mostly to low-income students.
Cutting off food aid has costly consequences. For example, about 350 elderly people in Fremont, Newark and Union City get one free hot meal a day from a Meals on Wheels program, said LIFE ElderCare Executive Director Patricia Osage. The closed federal Administration on Aging reimbursed the $1,575 daily cost; Osage said she can cut back other services and tap reserves to keep delivering meals for "six or seven weeks."
After that, she said, "you would see within six months that skilled nursing facilities would be packed," as lack of nutrition undercut seniors' health. Skilled nursing costs about $1,500 per day per person, she said -- nearly as much as feeding 350 people.
Elsewhere, confusion reigns: Shutdown federal offices have no one to answer questions or resolve conflicts.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development's shutdown plan suggests the nation's 3,300 housing authorities will see public housing subsidy vouchers and operating costs cut off in mid-December -- or maybe after October, said Oakland Housing Authority Executive Director Eric Johnson. Such a cutoff could affect rent payments for tens of thousands of Bay Area households.
Nothing is certain after Nov. 1, agreed Katherine Harasz, deputy executive director of Santa Clara County's housing authority. The two program administrators would love to discuss this with HUD, but "there's nobody to call" now, Johnson said.
The shutdown could clip the Bay Area housing market's recovery. Mortgage lenders can't verify applicants' Social Security numbers or Internal Revenue Service tax transcripts. The Federal Housing Administration has only a skeleton crew, so closing some FHA-insured loans -- about 15 percent of the market -- might be delayed. And the U.S. Department of Agriculture won't close new loans for rural borrowers until the shutdown ends.
The shutdown also threatens the struggling job market. Federal money and oversight support private sector hiring, but when the money spigot for contracts and facilities twists shut, the economic effects ripple widely in surrounding communities. Locking up Yosemite National Park and the NASA Ames lab in Mountain View, for instance, empties small-business cash registers for miles around.
Federal money also primes the job pump with oversight and support for innovation: Shutting down the Food and Drug Administration's processing of new drug applications for longer than a month "could be frightening," said Travis Blaschek-Miller, spokesman at BayBio, Northern California's biotech and life-science industry group.
San Francisco-based Symic Biomedical, which is studying treatments for osteoarthritis and cardiovascular ailments, last month won two federal research grants worth a total of $409,000. It was a godsend for the struggling company, said co-founder John Paderi, but now he can't get the money.
"If (the shutdown) carries on for a while, this could be a very big problem," he said.
A prolonged closure of the Securities and Exchange Commission could affect initial public offerings, said Jeffrey Vetter, a partner and securities lawyer at Fenwick & West.
Twitter, for example, plans to raise up to $1 billion in its IPO, and The Wall Street Journal reported concern that a lengthy shutdown could interfere with its schedule.
Even the mechanics of hiring are broken: The Department of Homeland Security closed its E-Verify program, which companies use to check the immigration status of job candidates. And we won't know much about the job market because the Labor Department can't issue reports.
The U.S. Department of Education says a shutdown of more than one week "would severely curtail (its) cash flow to school districts, colleges and universities."
It is uncertain when that money will run out in California. However, "child care services for poor families and grants benefiting children of military families could be affected within days," said state Education Department spokeswoman Tina Jung.
Even the military isn't immune, although active-duty men and women are still being paid.
Travis Air Force Base near Fairfield closed its commissary, library, education center and heritage center, and its medical center is curtailing elective surgeries after furloughing more than 700 civilian employees -- almost half of those regularly on the base.
The Department of Veterans Affairs' website says VA claims for compensation, pensions, education and vocational rehabilitation "will be suspended when funds are exhausted."
The shutdown might add a month to the current 12- to 18-month backlog at the Oakland VA office, said Nathan Johnson, director of the Contra Costa County Veteran Service Office.
"They're used to waiting at this point," he said.

How do you say Caterpillar in Chinese?
By Edward Matloub, Thomas McIntyre, Peter Rohlfer, Caelie Fryers, Bert Valencia Jr. and Aditya Koyyalamud
Caterpillar has survived the recession and enhanced its global presence, but at what cost? Caterpillar is a quintessential American company with a highly differentiated brand that is recognized for quality and dependability. Founded in 1925, as a result of the merger of the Holt Company and C.L. Best Tractor Trailers, the company has left an indelible mark on American society. The Holt Company gained notoriety during the First World War with the production of heavy-duty tractor-trailers. The company also produced other machinery during World War II to build bridges, airstrips and an entire logistical network used to support the Allies. This cemented the company's position as an all-American brand capable of attaining the highest quality. This image has remained with the company for three generations, and in 2008 Global Brands ranked Caterpillar number sixty-eight out of the top one hundred global brands. Despite this rich legacy, the firm operates in a highly competitive industry and is at a crossroads which will determine the future of the company and potentially re-define its image throughout the world.

RICHMOND -- More than 100 residents throughout Richmond reported a gas smell wafting through the air Tuesday afternoon, officials said, but the source of the smell was not determined.
The odor was first detected in Point Richmond, but reports came in from North Richmond, the Iron Triangle and along San Pablo Avenue, swamping the city's emergency call center, officials said.
Fire engines scoured city streets looking for the source as buildings in Marina Bay were evacuated and some Richmond schools briefly sheltered in place. But nothing was found.
"Based on the geography of the reports, we envision that this was a huge plume of some sort of gas that enveloped roughly half the city," said Richmond police Capt. Mark Gagan. "We were never able to locate the exact source."
Calls began pouring in at the emergency call center at 2 p.m., but about an hour later, the smell dissipated, and eventually officials called off the search, said Richmond Fire Battalion Chief Manly Moulton.
Fire crews responded to about three calls for people having difficulty breathing during that time, but it was unclear whether the calls were directly related to the gas smell, he said.
Richmond Fire Chief Michael Banks said it was possible an industrial facility had a liquefied petroleum gas leak, but that wasn't confirmed.
"The smell hit the city, and it was strong," Banks said.
Chevron officials issued a statement saying the Richmond refinery was not the source of the gas smell. The statement said the refinery's monitors did not indicate any gas leaks.
PG&E, too, said it was not the source, according to spokeswoman Tamar Sarkissian.
Managers at Shaper Lighting, a light fixture manufacturer in Marina Bay, evacuated all workers when the factory floor was overwhelmed with the smell of gas, workers said.
About 60 people stood outside on the sidewalk for more than an hour while the smell dissipated, returning to work at about 3 p.m.
A fire that sent a massive plume of smoke in the air at the Chevron refinery on Aug. 6, 2012, resulted in thousands of residents seeking medical treatment and lawsuits against the oil giant.

NEWARK -- Parents and city officials have worked for the past six months to save a fiscally embattled preschool program, illustrating what can be accomplished when the community rallies together.
Those efforts have closed the funding gaps for the Newark Preschool Child Care Program and boosted its enrollment to 36 students -- three times higher than the low of 12 children last summer.
"We've got more kids now ... than we've had at this time in the past three years," said Kristopher Teague, a Newark parent who led the charge to organize volunteers. "I think that's a telltale sign that we're making progress."
The city-run program has provided preschool instruction, child care, physical exercise and educational field trips since 1989, earning it many fans among Tri-City-area parents.
But dwindling enrollment was creating an operational deficit of $100,000 per year, said Newark officials, who announced seven months ago that they planned to close the state-licensed preschool.
An immediate public outcry spurred city leaders to keep the school open indefinitely, with one condition: that parents channel their impassioned support into leading the preschool into the black.
Since then, volunteer parents led by Teague have raised the program's visibility in several ways. They handed out fliers at city events, staffed booths at summer fairs, marched in the Newark Days parade and took part in the city's Christmas tree-lighting ceremony.
Volunteers also created accounts on Yelp and Facebook, encouraging the program's supporters to share their positive stories.
They then filmed a three-minute video and posted it on YouTube, and used the promo to spruce up the program's new page on the city website.
Lastly, the city raised the weekly rates, which were from $126 to $176 per student. Now, the weekly tab for each student ranges from $193 (for Newark residents) to $200 (for nonresidents).
The multipronged strategy seems to have paid off, as the school added 15 students in November and December, said Diana Pratt, the program's new supervisor.
Parents say the operational deficit has been reduced and talk of closing the school has subsided. "It's been a joint effort," Teague said. "Parents, teachers and the city have all stepped up."
But some volunteers, such as Becky Tigri, say they won't stop until the program is full. With enrollment capacity topping out at 48, the program has space to add 12 more students.
"Sending your child to a school and knowing they're going to be cared for -- nothing is more important than that," said Tigri, whose 5-year-old daughter attends the program. "But we can't let it fall of the ledge, or all of this will happen again."

In this frame grab made from video on Friday, Oct. 5, 2012, and provided by John-Patrick McNown, Edward Archbold celebrates winning a roach-eating contest at Ben Siegel Reptile Store in Deerfield Beach, Fla. (AP Photo/Courtesy John-Patrick McNown)
MIAMI (AP) -- An autopsy has concluded that a Florida man choked to death after downing dozens of live roaches during a contest earlier this year.
The report released Monday says 32-year-old Edward Archbold of West Palm Beach died as a result of "asphyxia due to choking and aspiration of gastric contents."
Lab tests for drugs came back negative. The death has been ruled an accident.
Archbold died after downing the bugs as well as worms in October for the contest at Ben Siegel Reptile Store in Deerfield Beach, about 40 miles north of Miami. The grand prize was a python.
Archbold became ill shortly after and collapsed in front of the store. He was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Authorities said none of the other contestants became ill.

thou 1
pronoun[second person singular]
- However, a scripture I had learned as a child took on a whole new meaning: 'What is man that thou art mindful of him?'
- In Solomon's Song the interrogators ask the bride, 'What is thy beloved more than another beloved, O thou fairest among women?'
- But curb thou the high spirit in thy breast, for gentle ways are best, and keep aloof from sharp contentions.
In modern English, the personal pronoun you (together with the possessives your and yours) covers a number of uses: it is both singular and plural, both objective and subjective, and both formal and familiar. This has not always been the case. In Old English and Middle English, some of these different functions of you were supplied by different words. Thus, thou was at one time the singular subjective case ( thou art a beast), while thee was the singular objective case ( he cares not for thee). In addition, the form thy (modern equivalent your) was the singular possessive determiner, and thine (modern equivalent yours) the singular possessive pronoun, both corresponding to thee. The forms you and ye, on the other hand, were at one time reserved for plural uses. By the 19th century, these forms were universal in standard English for both singular and plural, polite and familiar. In present day use, thou, thee, thy, and thine survive in certain religious groups and in some traditional British dialects, but otherwise are found only in archaic contexts.
Old English thu, of Germanic origin; related to German du, from an Indo-European root shared by Latin tu.

STOCKTON - Two people were shot and at least one sustained life-threatening injuries during a drive-by shooting Friday night in south Stockton, police said.
The Stockton Police Department responded to calls of a shooting in the 400 block of West Third Street at 8:39 p.m. Officers arrived at the scene to find two gunshot victims, one male and one female, said Officer Joe Silva, a spokesman for the Stockton Police Department.
The male victim was taken to San Joaquin General Hospital with life-threatening injuries, Silva said. A nursing supervisor at the hospital said the man was in critical condition with a gunshot wound to the head.
The female victim was taken to St. Joseph's Medical Center. Police could not provide information on the extent of her injuries.
Officers used flashlights to search the street for evidence as a light rain began to fall. Police were still interviewing witnesses and were unable to provide either a motive for the attacks or a description of the assailant's vehicle, Silva said.

BATS: Yes, We Have No CIO
For the second time in 10 months, BATS Global Markets Inc., the third-largest U.S. exchange operator, has cited a technology issue as the reason for a major trading problem. In both cases, the company, which has no CIO, has defended its technology management by noting that other senior executives effectively fill that role.
But at least one financial technology expert argues that BATS has outgrown its current leadership structure, and that bringing a CIO onboard may help improve management and operations. "When BATS was set up it was tightly enough managed that they didn't need to have someone in that role — they all worked in the same room together," said Larry Tabb, CEO of financial markets researcher TABB Group. "But as they have grown and are dealing with multiple asset classes and geographies they may be at the point where they need someone to fill that roll."
BATS' two largest rivals—NYSE Euronext Inc. and Nasdaq OMX Group—have CIOs.
The latest problem was announced yesterday. The company said a systems glitch caused trades to be executed at prices that may have violated security laws. The latest issue comes 10 months after another IT error forced the company to pull its IPO. The company confirmed to CIO Journal on Thursday that it still doesn't have a CIO.
The latest glitch in the BATS trading platform caused some trades to be executed with buyers offering bids below the best available price. The problem had affected the system over the past four years and resulted in a loss to customers of $420,360.57, the company said.
The problems were not discovered until last Friday, Randy Williams, a spokesman for the company told CIO Journal.
Though the company doesn't have a CIO, Mr. Williams says the company's chief operating officer, Chris Isaacson, effectively serves the same function.
The company had the same position last March, when a systems failure forced the firm to cancel trading its new stock. Soon after, Mr. Isaacson told CIO Journal that the company had plenty of technologically minded executives, including CEO Joe Ratterman, a former CIO of LabOne.
