A BIG NO to ANY VOLTAS ACWe were using Carrier AC from last 6-7 years and last year we bought 1 more AC of Voltas brand and it was our biggest mistake ..such a pathetic service and even cooling was soo bad ....remote didn't work after 2 mnths of usage..Plz don't buy any voltas product :(
Apr 29, 2012
ac is good but after sales service is worst....i bought this ac last year with 1 year manufacturing warranty, till 11 months it was working excellent but then stop working. i called customer care at least 7-8 times for servicing but after sales service of valtas is so damn poor that no one came for servicing.

Yehi Hai Right ChoiceNowdays, the market is filled with lots of marketing strategies and all people getting trapped in their web. Companies like samsung, LG, panasonic etc selling their product by using poor aluminium winding condenser. Just Like aluminum winding in fans of economic brands. The property of aluminum is that it gets heated up easily and AC stopped cooling.

No additional benefits buying an AC at FlipkartAlthough prompt with delivery as always, Flipkart seems to be taking on more than they can handle. I recently purchased this AC from them and was hassled trying to liaise with them to have the AC installed. The AC was delivered promptly but then it has been lying on my bedroom floor for the past week waiting for the manufacturer to install it. The installation process has been pure harassment. If you do buy an AC here, organise installation on your own and i say if you are going to have to go through the hassle and the expense of installation form outside anyways - might as well buy an AC from… (Expand)

PerfectIt's not Exactly 1.5 Ton but 1.7 Ton Instead which is a cool thing. Yet it is superbly silent despite being a window AC and One can't clearly distinguish if the compressor is on or its just the Fan. Cooling is superb in a large room which actually required a 2.0 Ton AC. I've had an LG, a Videocon and now its Voltas. It wins any day. Go for it without doubt.

Excellant ACI have bought an Voltas window Platinum 1.5 Ton in April this year, and its providing an excellant service, the coolling is outstanding and no issues reported till date. I stay in Gurgaon and the heat outside is nearly 48 C. the AC was still able to maintain the inside temp down to what was required.

Best buy in this price range and for a single roomVoltas Platinum 3S 1 ton ac is a gem , comes with 3 modes cool,dry and fan .. cool is for usual needs, while dry mode when its extra humid and fan mode when its not so hot outside. It consumes less power and if u have a single room and dont wanna make your room like ice age room then its a great buy very good cooling , comes with a remote and works like a charm and in budget also. I would say go for it :)

Virtual chassis or big core switch?
By was on Jun 08, 2009
We're building out our next generation infrastructure, and we're upgrading critical parts of our infrastructure to 10GBe. One of the things we've been debating is whether to use a big core switch or take advantage of some of the virtual chassis technologies that are now available (clustering many smaller switches to look like a big chassis switch).
We're well on our way to proving out the virtual chassis technology from Juniper. It fits our data flow rates, and it's easy to manage. Over time, we've put in network gear from several vendors. This was good as we used the best from each vendor. The problem is that it causes a maintenance hassle. Your engineers have to know 2 or 3 command sets, and that's a problem. So now we're moving towards standardizing on one or two vendors to simplify maintenance.
It turns out that we realized several things about our rack layouts. We always have limited space, so we typically laid our systems into the racks on an as-needed basis. We would find the right amount of space, make sure we had enough power and just dump the systems in as we could (splitting the systems so no one service was in a single rack/row, etc.)
Our next generation design takes into account data providers and data consumers, making sure that they connect via high bandwidth connections. Our front-ends (data consumers) don't typically consume more than 1gb connections to the backends (data providers), but if you get several front-ends talking to one backend, and the backend is on a 1gb link to the top-of-rack switch, you can get into some serious problems. We're able to work around that on our very high bandwidth backends by trunking connections, but even then it's suboptimal. So we're going to make sure we have 10g connections to the backends, and that we keep the number of "all-10g" racks to a minimum (to keep costs under control). Our rack layouts will definitely change, focusing on high availability, very high performance while staying in our power constraints.
I'll talk more (probably) in a future blog about the other things we're doing in the network.

BALTIMORE -- Tempers flared but no fights erupted in the 49ers' 23-3, exhibition-opening loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Can these clubs keep the peace in three straight days of practice, starting Saturday, at the Ravens' facility?
"I imagine it's going to be pretty physical," Ravens fullback Kyle Juszczyk said.
Coach Jim Harbaugh likely won't mind, as long as his 49ers push back better than they did Thursday, when he said "we got pushed around."
As unusual as it is to practice against the same team after an exhibition, players on both sides seemed receptive to working against nonteammates for a change. Then again, fireworks could erupt, as in the first quarter when 49ers wideout Stevie Johnson had to be restrained by tight end Vernon Davis after a late hit by cornerback Jimmy Smith.
Ravens running back Ray Rice complimented the 49ers heading into what he thinks will be a "great time" of joint practices. "They can easily be Super Bowl champions this year," Rice said. " ... I'm glad it's only practice (this weekend). But maybe we'll meet them in the Super Bowl."
Been there, done that. Two seasons ago, the Ravens held off the 49ers 34-31 in Super Bowl XLVII. They reunited Thursday night for a Ravens rout of a substitute-laden 49ers squad.
"We definitely have work to do, regardless of who played and who didn't," said safety Eric Reid, who along with outside linebacker Ahmad Brooks were the only returning starters in the defensive lineup. "We look forward to playing against these guys for three days and to work on those mistakes."
Colin Kaepernick is eager to further test the Ravens after playing Thursday's first series only (five handoffs and a 17-yard completion to Vance McDonald).
"You go against (49ers teammates) for so long, you start to pick up on players' tendencies on your own team, and they pick up on yours," Kaepernick said. "It'll be different with (the Ravens), where you have a little bit of unknown how players will react to different things."
Ravens defensive tackle Brandon Williams has simple goals for these practices: "Getting better as a team and kicking butt."
As impressive as his opening-series runs were, Hyde boosted his stock on the next possession, when he correctly blocked a blitzing defender and allowed Blaine Gabbert to complete a third-down conversion pass.
"That's part of my job," Hyde said. "Here at the 49ers, if you can't pass protect, you're not going to play. I saw the guy coming and felt I did a good enough job. He got nowhere near the quarterback, and the quarterback completed the pass for a first down."
"I realize I've got to get in better shape, and that will come along," Carradine said. "I was a little nervous because people expect this and that." Carradine had eight tackles and a first-quarter sack.
How did he plan to spend Friday's day off? "In an ice-cold tub," Carradine said.
The only player to see more action was outside linebacker Corey Lemonier, who played 70 snaps on defense and 14 on special teams. The 49ers were so hard-pressed for linemen that fullback Will Tukuafu (a former defensive lineman) saw four defensive snaps.

Matt Lauer is seriously running out of friends.
On Friday's "Today" show, Lauer's co-host Savannah Guthrie appeared to flip Matt Lauer the middle finger during a segment about vacuum cleaners.
According to FOX News, it happened after Guthrie struggled to maneuver a vacuum during a demonstration, and Lauer quipped: "By the way this is the first time Savannah has ever vacuumed."
"That is not true. That is not true," she replied, then turning and scowling while holding a finger up at Lauer.
Viewers apparently thought Guthrie angrily flipped Lauer the bird, assuming cameras weren't on her.
That's a pretty weak assumption in 2013. Cameras are on pretty much everyone.
Guthrie took to Twitter to deny flipping Lauer off.
"Folks!! That was my INDEX finger! Photo evidence proving my innocence coming! #fingergate #TGIF "
Yes. She was probably just telling Lauer he's No. 1.
Then again, that doesn't really apply anymore, does it?
Guthrie posted a blurry photo later, calling the incident a "faux controversy."
Lauer then tweeted a photo of himself leaving a room along with the message: "Me storming out of the office after your middle finger salute."
His message, though seemingly meant as a joke, fueled rumors that Guthrie was indeed firing the obscene gesture at Lauer.
A rep for the "Today" show declined to comment on the story but said the tweets from Lauer and Guthrie "speak for themselves."

Announce the New Year with happy noise. When kids flip the drum back and forth, the action sets the beads in motion, creating a celebratory rattle and bang!
Watch Ni Hao, Kai-lan only on Nick Jr.
With a serrated knife, such as a bread knife, cut across the base of the gift box so that the total height is about 1.5 inches. The diameter of the top should be about 4 to 6 inches.
With craft glue or mod-podge, wrap both the box and lid with origami paper. (If you're using mod-podge, use a sponge brush to apply the product to the back of the paper. Lay the paper on the box and smooth it with a paper towel or soft cloth. This will remove any air bubbles.) Let dry.
Use the hole punch to create one hole on each side of the drum for the string to pass through.
Pass the string through the hole on one side and bring it out the other. Tie a knot close to each of the holes to keep the string from sliding out.
Tie one bead to each end of the string. Be sure to make a knot above each bead so that it can't slip up and down along the string.
Have your child paint the dowel red. Let dry.
With a craft knife, cut an "X" at the base of the drum. Push the dowel in through the X. This will be stiff, and may be a little tricky. (The tight opening is what prevents the stick from shifting inside the drum while kids are playing with it.)
Print the Kai-lan Drum Templates and cut them out. Use craft glue or mod-podge to apply them to the front, back, and side of the drum.
With the foam paintbrush, have your child apply mod-podge to the entire drum. This step will seal the lid and base of the gift box in place. Allow about 20 minutes to dry.
Show your kids how to tell time with this paper plate peek-a-boo clock!

Gary L. Randall
Loved vintage motorcycles
Gary was born Sept. 22, 1950, in Greenfield, Mass., son of the late Donald L. and Norma Mary (Kelley) Randall. He graduated from Chelmsford High School in Massachusetts in 1968. He received his degree in mechanical engineering from the University of New Haven where he was an active alumnus, and he received his master's in education from Southern Connecticut State University. Gary was a project engineer at Boehringer-Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals in Ridgefield for 25 years.
He had a great love for vintage motorcycles and was both a collector and rider. His most beloved motorcycle was his 1946 Indian Chief. Gary attended numerous motorcycle events throughout the years, and wherever he went, he would rent a bike and ride. He was an avid bowler, participating in many leagues over the years, loved the Boston Red Sox, took tremendous pride in his lawn, was an excellent skier and was known for his dry sense of humor. Most importantly, Gary was devoted to his family and friends; he was the connector and center of every group. He had a very special connection with his only child, Mackenzie.
Besides his wife of 26 years and daughter, he is survived by his brother, Donald Burton Randall and his wife, Carol, of Roxbury, Vt.; his two nephews, David Randall and his wife, Sarah, of Clinton, Maine, and Daniel Randall and his daughter, Ella, of Seoul, South Korea; his sister-in-law, Patricia Ellis of Brewster, Mass.; his niece, Isabel Galvin and her son, Michael Dennis Clancy, of Sandwich, Mass.; his father-in-law, Joseph Brigich Sr. and wife Delores of Bridgeville, Pa.; his brother-in-law, Joseph Brigich Jr. and his partner, Michael Tuchalski, of Pittsburgh, Pa.; his sister-in-law, Kathleen Sharkady and her husband, Paul, of Canonsburg, Pa., and their children, Christopher and Brianna; his dog Fenway, his cat Ragz, and many aunts, uncles, cousins and many dear friends. He was predeceased by his twin brother, Dennis Michael Randall.
Gary gave in death as he did in life through the gift of organ donation. Celebrations of Gary's life will be held in the near future.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in memory of Gary's life to Brain Injury Alliance of Connecticut at http://biact.homestead.com/index.html or Life Choice Donor Services at http://www.lifechoiceopo.org/.

The Fastest Way to Clean the House
When you are in a hurry or have a particularly busy life, cleaning the house can often take the back burner. When you think about it, cleaning the house can often seem like this huge daunting task that you don't even want to start because it is going to take forever. It really doesn't have to be that way. There are extremely fast ways of getting your house clean in no time and it doesn't take too much effort either. You just have to go into it with a willing mind and figure out which of these is the fastest possible way for you to clean your home.
The first thing that you can do to clean your house in the fastest and most efficient way possible is to enlist the help of any family members that may be in the house, this can be our spouse or children or anyone.
The more hands (or paws) that you have doing the work, the faster you will find that it gets done. Then pick a room to start it. Which one of the rooms in your house needs the most work? This is the place where you should start because chances are it is going to take the longest, after that just go through the rooms one by one tidying up. If you aren't a hoarder, chances are there won't be too much to do other than picking things up from where they shouldn't be. Carry around a laundry basket and a trash bin to every room with you and you will find that it goes a lot faster.
If you are in a really big hurry, just throw all of the laundry into the basket and get rid of any trash, chances are just these two quick steps can make your house look a whole lot cleaner. If you don't have time to actually do the laundry right now, it is much easier to hide away a laundry basket or two rather than the messy rooms. If anything needs to be mopped or vacuumed, do it as you are leaving that room so you know that it is fully complete. Most of the time, it is better to have most of the rooms in your house totally clean than to have the whole house just a little bit clean. Keeping these tips in mind should help you to clean your house quickly.

Tuesday evening, the Brookfield City Council certified the results of the municipal election that was held earlier this month. Oaths of office were then given to election winners Lonnie Trentham (new Councilman), Martha Beach (incumbent winner who had completed Don Riepe's term on the Council), and Richard Techau (incumbent who retained his seat on the Council).
— Oaths of office were administered to the following by current City Clerk Dana Tarpening: Rick German has been promoted from Assistant Chief to Chief of Police, and Donna Barger has been hired as the new City Clerk, replacing Tarpening who the Council has appointed City Manager.
— Upon the nominations of Councilman Don Fuhrhop, Jack Forbes was unanimously re-elected Mayor, and Richard Techau was re-elected Mayor Pro Tem.
— City Manager Dave Hane advised the Council that a small lot the City owns in the 800 block of Snow St. had been previously advertised but no bids were received. Norman Slaughter subsequently offered $150, so Hane asked for the Council's blessing to go ahead and sell the lot at that price. The Council has consented to that sale.
— Last month, the Council had tabled rock bids until the surcharge issue could be explored. Leo O'Laughlin had the low bids for rock with the understanding that if diesel fuel reached $4-a-gallon, a surcharge for delivery of the rock would be charged. O'Laughlin has since agreed to waive the surcharge, so the Council accepted his low bid for rock.

If the Power Goes Out What Should You Do?
Duke Energy is committed to providing you reliable electric service. But situations such as storms, accidents, animals or construction-related incidents can cause power outages. If this happens, we will mobilize crews to get your service safely restored as quickly as reasonably possible.
If your power goes out, check to see if your neighbors have power. If your home is the only one without power, check your circuit breakers or fuses to determine if the outage is a result of a household problem. Do not assume we automatically know about your outage. Please contact us immediately.
If you see downed power lines, assume they are dangerous and stay away!
Protect Your Appliances
Turn off lights and as many appliances and electronics as possible including heating or air conditioning systems. You will help prevent circuit overload situations when your power is restored. You will also reduce the potential for damage to sensitive equipment such as computers, microwave ovens, televisions and recording devices.
Prepare an Emergency/Outage Kit
To help you prepare in case you face a power outage, we suggest you assemble an emergency kit. Consider including the items below.
- A flashlight with extra batteries (placed where you can find it in the dark)
- A battery-powered radio and fresh batteries
- Canned foods that require no cooking
- A manual can opener
- First aid supplies
- Extra fuses
- A battery-powered or wind-up clock
Keep Food Safe
Help protect your food during a power outage by keeping your refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible to maintain the cold temperature. Your refrigerator should keep food safely cold for about four hours if it is unopened. A full freezer should hold the temperature for approximately 48 hours if the door stays closed (about 24 hours if it is half full). Make sure you have items on hand that do not require refrigeration and can be eaten cold or heated on an outdoor grill.
To learn more about keeping food safe during a power outage, visit the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service Web site.
Severe Weather and Outages
Severe weather can strike quickly, creating a variety of dangerous situations.
Review our storm tips to find out what you should do before, during and after severe weather strikes.

Taxi fares from airport may increase by $2 per trip
It may soon cost a little more to grab a taxi from Richmond International Airport, but airport officials believe the extra fee will be worth it.
The Capital Region Airport Commission is asking Henrico and three other localities in the region to approve an additional $2 fee for taxi service that originates at the airport. Henrico's Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing Oct. 23 to consider a change to its county code that would permit the fee.
Earlier this year, CRAC officials created new, stricter standards for walk-up taxi service at the airport and invited bids from taxi companies willing to meet them. Officials selected the proposals of three companies – Airport Taxi, Galaxy Cab and Richmond Flyer Taxi, which as of July 1 are the only three permitted to transport walk-up passengers. (Other taxi companies can pick up passengers on a pre-arranged basis only.)
The new standards required that each of the three companies:
• use only vehicles that are new as of this year;
• provide uniformed drivers who speak English as a second language, at a minimum, and who have completed a mandatory training program
• accept credit cards.
Each of the three companies is required to pay a $2-per-trip fee to CRAC for the right to provide pick-up service. Companies that provide pre-arranged service pay a $2.60 fee per trip to CRAC.
Because each of the three walk-up service companies invested heavily in order to meet the new standards, allowing them to recoup that $2 fee from passengers would help defray their costs, airport President and CEO Jon Mathiasen told the Henrico Board of Supervisors Sept. 25.
"We're trying to improve the overall appearance of ground transportation at Richmond International Airport," he said. "It is the front door and the last door that many visitors see [of Greater Richmond]."
The new standards make the airport one of few in the nation to offer an entire fleet of brand new vehicles (41 in total, including 5 that are fitted for disabled passengers), Mathiasen said. Each vehicle makes an average of 15 trips per day, Mathiasen said.
Taxi fares from the airport last increased five years ago this month.
Three Chopt District Supervisor Dave Kaechele said he had noticed a difference since the new standards took effect.
"The improvement is dramatic out there," he said. "It's very professional. I think it's got to make a big impression on visitors."
The airport is investing several hundred thousand dollars on a new queuing system that will help taxis conserve gas while they wait for passengers, Mathiasen said. It should be active within about two months.

Despite below-average pre-cipitation this summer, wetland conditions remain good to excellent because of lower-than-usual evaporation rates resulting from cool temperatures and a lack of high winds.
Areas that have received isolated, heavy rains still have full temporary wetlands and sheet water in the fields. Throughout the province, permanent and semi-permanent basins are in excellent condition and are providing prime habitat for brood-rearing ducks. Production appears to be excellent, and field staff are reporting outstanding brood numbers.
Haying operations are now finishing up, which is behind the average schedule. Crops are also slightly behind schedule, but harvest should begin in the coming weeks.

Really! Gray squirrel season opens in Florida...but ONLY for gray squirrels, NOT for the cinnamon colored or other types of FOX squirrels. Check with Florida game officials for details. Sure looks like the pictured squirrel has put away quite a few nuts.
Remaining 2 Kittens up for Adoption
ATHENS, Ala. (AP) -- Two kittens will soon be offered for adoption after they were rescued from the home of an Alabama man charged with 22 counts of animal cruelty.
Police say 48-year-old Ronald Golden told officers he stomped and strangled kittens he bought using the website Craigslist. Police arrested Golden after finding five kitten carcasses at his home and blood spattering the walls of one room.
WAFF-TV reports (http://bit.ly/19GxULp) authorities also found two kittens that were alive. Now named Melvin and Mia, the kittens are being kept safely at the Athens Limestone Animal Shelter.
Shelter officials are having the kittens spayed and neutered by a local veterinarian. They should be up for adoption sometime in the next two weeks.
Selma police say men wore wigs in robbery attempt
SELMA, Ala. (AP) -- Police in Selma say two men arrested on attempted robbery charges made a store clerk suspicious with their disguises.
WSFA-TV reports a cashier at the Check `n Go store activated a silent alarm Friday when she saw two men come in wearing wigs and sunglasses along with bandanas and several layers of clothing.
Officers arrived at the store and arrested both suspects before they could flee. Police say one was armed with two handguns and they were driving a car stolen from a nearby Wal-Mart.
Now 21-year-old Melvin Jerome Marshall and 19-year-old Courtney Smith are charged with attempted robbery and breaking and entering of a vehicle.
Hurricane-Fortified Church
Hurricane-proof church unbowed on Gulf coast
ORANGE BEACH, Ala. (AP) -- God is a mighty fortress, the old hymn goes, and the same could be said for Romar Beach Baptist Church.
With concrete walls more than a foot thick and pilings driven deep into bedrock, the waterfront church just yards from the Gulf of Mexico is built to withstand a Category 5 hurricane with winds of 157 mph and higher.
Rev. Paul Smith didn't even consider canceling worship services last week when the remnants of Tropical Storm Karen were plowing through the Gulf of Mexico just off the horizon. Instead, he baptized a visitor in the Gulf after a 9 a.m. service, which was nearly full.
SILVERHILL, Ala. (AP) -- A coastal Alabama woman whose police officer son was killed in the line of duty is holding a yard sale to raise money so she can attend the trial of the slaying suspect. Cindy Warren hopes to raise $2,000 or more to cover expenses when she travels to Tampa, Fla., for the trial. Warren's son, police officer David Curtis, was gunned down along with his partner during a 2010 traffic stop in Tampa.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) -- The Alabama Fire College in Tuscaloosa is honoring a volunteer firefighter who died last year saving her own grandchild. The college was holding its annual Fallen Firefighter memorial ceremony today. This year's ceremony includes a tribute to the memory of Beth Childers. The Lauderdale County volunteer firefighter died last year when she rescued her 2-year-old grandson from a fire at her home.
Woman dangling from Fort Lauderdale bridge rescued
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) -- A woman seen dangling from a Fort Lauderdale bridge has been rescued by firefighters after she participated in a cancer walk earlier in the day.
City officials say the woman was walking across the New River railroad bridge Saturday morning when it began to open. Witnesses called 911 to report that the woman was dangling 22 feet above the tracks with the bridge in the upright position.
Firefighters responded and helped rescue the woman using a 24-foot ladder. She was not injured.
The 55-year-old woman was wearing a pink shirt. She told authorities she had taken part in the breast cancer awareness walk earlier Saturday morning. It was not clear why she was on the bridge since pedestrians are not allowed on it.
The woman was not immediately identified.
Man dies after jumping from train for phone
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Hospital officials say a South Florida man injured after jumping from a moving commuter train to retrieve his cell phone has died.
A spokesman for St. Mary's Medical Center told The Palm Beach Post that 26-year-old Eddie Diaz of Miami was taken off life support on Friday. His family is donating his organs.
West Palm Beach police say the Tri-Rail train was leaving the station Monday night when Diaz realized he left his phone on a bench. Diaz then broke the glass of the emergency safety mechanism, pulled the emergency stop lever and exited through the front passenger door.
Witnesses say Diaz tried to leap from the train to the platform but slipped and fell. He was taken to the hospital with critical injuries.
Student walking home from game shot in leg
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Tampa police are looking for the person who shot a high school student in the leg as she walked home from a football game.
Police say two friends -- a 15-year-old and 16-year-old -- were walking home from the game Friday night when a car stopped next to them. The suspect rolled down his window, made a statement and pointed the gun at them.
Police say the girls ran as the suspect fired at them, striking the older girl on the lower left leg. She was taken to the hospital where she remained Saturday.
"Detectives are working very good leads in this case," a police statement says, as detectives work to get a detailed description of the suspect.
Gray squirrel hunting season opens in Fla.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Florida wildlife authorities have opened the state's gray squirrel hunting season.
The state Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission says the season starts Saturday on private lands and runs through March 2, 2014.
The squirrels are members of the rodent family and can grow up to 20 inches long. They like wooded areas and spend most of their time on trees.
Hunters who want to look for gray squirrels on wildlife management areas should consult with the FWC, as open dates vary.
There is no open season in Florida for taking fox squirrels, which tend to be larger and have cinnamon colored bellies and tails.
Police: Shootout wounds restaurant worker, robber
FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. (AP) -- Police say a robbery attempt at a Chinese restaurant in metro Atlanta led to a shootout that wounded a worker and one of the robbers.
WSB-TV reports (http://bit.ly/1axAd5K ) two masked men entered the back door of the China Cafe in Fayette County after closing late Friday and held three employees at gunpoint. Police say one of the workers also had a gun and shot one of the robbers in the head.
The second robber returned fire and injured another restaurant employee, who was hospitalized in serious condition.
Fayetteville police Lt. Mike Whitlow says both robbers got away and investigators are checking area hospitals for the one who got wounded. He says police suspect the same men robbed another Chinese restaurant in the area earlier last week.
Police say road rage sparked metro Atlanta slaying
KENNESAW, Ga. (AP) -- Police in metro Atlanta have arrested a suspect in the fatal shooting of a young woman that authorities say was motivated by road rage.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports21-year-old Kim Kilgore died Friday afternoon hours after she was shot inside the gates of the Shiloh Green Apartments near Kennesaw.
Police have charged 22-year-old Lindsey Sparkles Lashayla with murder. It was unknown Saturday if she had an attorney.
Cobb County police spokesman Mike Bowman says a "road rage incident" between people in two vehicles led to a fight at the apartment complex in which Kilgore was shot. Police have not said specifically what started the argument.
Friends say Kilgore was a student at Kennesaw State University and worked at a country store in Powder Springs.

Definition of digenean in English:
Relating to a group of flukes that are internal parasites needing two to four hosts to complete their life cycle. Compare with monogenean.
Example sentences
- It will be a major source of information in digenean taxonomy for the next several decades.
- These results indicate that only seventeen out of the 150 or so digenean families are reported in the deep sea.
- The present study demonstrates that digenean parasites induce population structure changes and shorten lifespan of mudsnails, through increasing size-dependent mortality.
A digenean fluke; a trematode.
- Subclass Digenea, class Trematoda.
Example sentences
- This project is also linked with heavy metal toxicity studies, being carried out in our laboratory on the survival and infectivity of larval digeneans parasitising molluscan intermediate hosts.
- In Chile, there are no records of these digeneans in any group of hosts.
- Occasionally the eggs of some digeneans may also bear filaments, although these are more generally oval in shape, and brown in colour due to quinone-tanning of egg shell components.
1960s: from modern Latin Digenea (from Greek di- 'twice' + genea 'generation, race') + -an.

Marathon Tours and Travel is constantly looking to discover interesting destinations one mile at a time and we discovered a very well organized running event in Central America in 2009. We are pleased to offer our fourth trip to the Tamarindo Beach Marathon, 30K, Half-Marathon and 10K events in Costa Rica set for Saturday, September 20, 2014.
Costa Rica offers plenty of exciting activities, especially if you're interested in eco-tourism and outdoor sports. In the past decade, the number of visitors to Costa Rica has quintupled, and tourism has become the leading sector of the nation's economy.
Costa Rica is practically synonymous with ecotourism—travel that incorporates education about the environment and promotes preservation of natural resources. The country has a large number of national parks and nature preserves that boast a rich array of birds, mammals, reptiles and rain-forest plants. The variety of birds, in particular, is astounding: Some 850 species are packed into a relatively small area. Approximately 25% of the country's land has been set aside in protected areas, earning Costa Rica a reputation as an environmentally-sensitive destination.
We are offering one main itinerary and four-night accommodations at the oceanfront, all-inclusive Tamarindo Diria Hotel. Optional activities such as a zip line canopy adventure or snorkling cruise are nearby. We do suggest exploring more of this fascinating country after the marathon. We can arrange travel to the Arenal Volcano National Park, rainforest and more. (Photo of the howler monkey courtesy of Matt Greaney).

I've spent a lifetime working to educate our customers and the public to
become aware of one simple notion – that nutrition is the foundation of life.
In my years formulating products at HealthyPetNet, I've done my utmost to
create foods, supplements and treats that help to establish and maintain this
groundwork for vitality and better health.
As a holistic veterinarian, my nutritional philosophy differs from those of
some competing pet food manufacturers. To understand my mindset, and why I feel
so strongly that Life's Abundance foods help to fulfill what I view as our
greatest responsibility as pet parents, I'd like to share some basic information
for context.
Our companion animals depend on us to provide for their every need; so, in a
sense, making sure that they get the nutrition they need to not only live but to
thrive is perhaps our greatest responsibility as pet parents. The food you
choose to feed your beloved pet needs to supply much-needed proteins, fats,
vitamins, minerals and other crucial nutrients. These vital ingredients will
help them grow when they are young and to maintain health through their
hopefully long adult years.
Most pet foods are made based upon formulas that, at least in purely
technical terms, fulfill the generally accepted nutritional requirements, which
are then labeled "complete" or "balanced diets". Shockingly, some of these pet
foods use unsavory sources for their "nutrients", including diseased cattle and
animals killed in automobile accidents (aka "roadkill") including deer,
opossums, birds and perhaps most disturbingly, dogs and cats. Of course, you
won't find any of these upsetting sources listed on any labels.
Over the years I've seen hundreds of undernourished puppies and kittens –
whose ears, skin and intestinal tracts are in various stages of decline – all of
whom ate regularly. I've also seen far too many middle-aged cats and dogs on
these diets pass general examinations but lack energy, have dull eyes, have
disagreeable temperaments, experience urinary tract issues, and suffer with skin
and coat conditions.
On the positive side, I've also witnessed dogs and cats responding positively
when they eat a diet with wholesome foods and high levels of nutrients, having
the effect of improving health and shoring up immune systems. Creating Life's
Abundance Premium Health Food has been one of the great pleasures of my life,
and that feeling is reinforced every time I read testimonials from customers who
are overjoyed by the difference our original formulas have made in their pets'
Before I reveal more about the philosophy behind the original formulas of
Life's Abundance, I want to address a growing epidemic in America … obesity in
companion animals. It's not uncommon for pets who consume poor-quality foods to
be overweight, especially when they are free-fed. These poor creatures are
literally starving for the nutrients their bodies require, and so they eat and
eat and eat. Because they're eating the same food every day, without the
nutrition they need to thrive, they pack on pounds, and probably feel miserable,
too. That's exactly why, in addition to my original Life's Abundance formulas
(one for dogs and one for cats), I created Weight-Loss Formula … to help dogs
trim unwanted pounds and maintain a healthy weight, as naturally as possible.
I know from my professional experiences that for any food to deliver the
nutrients necessary to support optimal health, it must be formulated based upon
different standards. As my professional peers will tell you, I have extremely
high standards when it comes to the foods we feed our dearest companions. These
higher standards must take into account the actual physiology of dogs and cats
in addition to accepted nutritional requirements.
Just like humans, dogs and cats are complex organisms. At HealthyPetNet, we
believe that a pet's food must nourish every part of their bodies. That's why
we've included such a broad spectrum of nutrients, where every ingredient is
selected to enhance specific parts of the body. The resulting balance of
ingredients is combined in a very particular way, which becomes our premium
formula – each ingredient working with the others to fulfill the myriad needs of
dogs and cats. And believe me, there are numerous needs to fill!
When formulating Life's Abundance, I selected ingredients to support all of
the important bodily structures and functions. Explaining all of the elements of
these three formulas would be so extensive, it would fill up a book! So, to
illustrate the amount of work that goes into formulation, I want to highlight
one problem area and how Life's Abundance Premium Health Food for Puppies &
Adult Dogs addresses it. In this post, I want to touch on skin and coat health,
since biting and scratching are among the top reasons pet parents take their
companion animals to the vet.
Protein is crucial for skin and coat health – especially for puppies and
seniors – so I selected highly-digestible, superior-quality proteins, putting in
exactly the amounts that both young and old require for optimal skin and coat
health. We also added flaxseed meal because it includes proteins that meats
don't have and antioxidants which the skin needs for optimal health. Not only
that, but flaxseed meal contains a nice mixture of B vitamins and oil.
We added omega-3 fatty acids (from fish oil), as numerous studies have shown
it's essential to skin health. As well as addressing the direct requirements of
skin and coat, we included ingredients to help support the immune system, a must
for the healthiest possible skin.
Life's Abundance also features a proprietary blend of vitamins and minerals , which includes easily-absorbed minerals that work to improve the effectiveness of antioxidants (for instance, the skin attracts zinc, making zinc a great "delivery vehicle" of antioxidants). And since one of the largest immune organs is located in the gut (GALT), several ingredients were selected to provide nourishment for this important immune organ.
I hope that you can see the importance of building a food based on the
physiology of our precious companions. I truly believe that Life's Abundance
represents the ultimate pet food, with all the ingredients necessary to help
your companion animals live long, healthy and happy lives.
For all of you already feeding Life's Abundance, I thank you for being
responsible pet parents, and for being agents of positive change in the lives of
your companion animals.
Warmest wishes,

Can you tell me if dogs should eat cottage cheese? Also why isn't corn good for dogs and how come most dog foods have corn in them.

Just like humans, don't you think cats like to have a variety of different flavors. I don't think people would like having pizza for every single meal. I still have to try and find some other cat food in order to give them a variety. If I only gave them your good cat food, then they'd be having the same thing for EVERY meal. Couldn't you make different flavors, such as chicken, turkey, salmon, beef, cod, etc. instead of putting them all together for one meal?

Hello Dr. Bicks,As a pet parent, I applaud your dedication to the wellness of our pets. We became 'fans' when we discovered your products.After much research of a better product for our family member-our Lab, he couldn't be happier and healthier! As you mentioned, most of the pet food on the market is really quite atrocious. Thank you!

Dr Jane,
Love the cat food, as do my 12 cats. Are there plans in the near future to package the cat food in larger cans? The dog food is in the 5.5oz cans, why not cat food. I agree with Karen Hillebrand about having more variety in the cat food line. The dog food line keeps growing. It would make it easier for Field Reps to have more variety in cat food.

Dr. Jane--
I couldn't agree with you more about the importance of *quality* ingredients in our pets' food and of maintaining a healthy weight. To that end, I'd love to see a Light formula available in the dry cat food line. Are there any plans for that?

Dear Dr. Jane,
We are new cat parents and "Moonshine" LOVES your food, supplements, and treats! He is two years old and we've already noticed improvement in his energy level. We can't thank you enough for formulating a food that we can truly trust. Our three "senior" dogs have been on Life's Abundance for a year and it has been an amazing experience watching their health improve drastically in many ways.

I have two Westies, one is 3 years, one is 10. I have always fed them wet and dry food mixed because the dry food makes them constipated. I like them to eat dry food to help with keeping their teeth clean. I would like to drop the wet food. Will your dog food help with constipation?

Dr. Jane,
I have encountered many questions regarding the benefits of holistic/healthier pet foods vs the "veterans", and the testing of products (for quality, consistency and frequency to avoid contamination). The larger, long standing companies claim they have the research to back them up regarding food content and better quality control as they test "every" batch, and that the smaller companies don't have the research behind them to validate content and don't test as frequently, thus questioning quality control (not only purported by the large companies but by many vets as well). Any insight from your perspective?

Graduation season always brings with it entertaining tales of lazy, desperate, or just plain dumb graduation speakers, who chose to plagiarize their speeches. Already this year we've had a medical school dean ripping off Atul Gawande, and a law school graduate pleading ignorance about the fact that plagiarism is frowned upon. But now, I think we've found our official Dumbest Speech Plagiarism of the 2011 Graduation Season.
Joseph Anderson, principal of Manhattan's Clinton School for Writers and Artists, gave a graduation speech last week that plagiarized parts of David Foster Wallace's famous Kenyon College graduation speech in 2005—one of the most famous graduation speeches of our generation. This makes me strongly suspect that Joseph Anderson just Googled "great graduation speech," then clicked on the first link.
It is this level of passion and commitment to research that will help you succeed in a world with nothing to fear but fear itself, kids. When you reflect upon the lessons instilled in you by your principal, always remember: It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

8 Skin Care Habits That Make Facialists Face Palm
Even if you think you've got your cleanse-tone-moisturize routine down, there's probably still something you do that drives the pros crazy
Somerville has a warning for anyone skipping their sunscreen. "Sun damage is definitely noticeable," she says. "Skin has darker, brownish pigment in certain areas and is often blotchy."
But even more egregious than tanning to Somerville? Lighting up. "Smoking is perhaps the single most detrimental thing you can do for your skin," she says. "When you puff on a cigarette, you're drawing in more than 4,000 toxins that make their way directly to your skin, clamping off capillaries, reducing oxygen supply, and slowing down collagen production. Smoking also eats up free-radical fighting vitamin C in your body. If that's not convincing enough, keep in mind that smoking causes wrinkling around your lips and around your eyes from squinting against the smoke." Gross all around.

Good article with practical advice. Even for those who don't commit these skin care sins will still benefit from being more mindful of how they're doing things properly.

Yes, good tips! Wish that I had learned some of them at a younger age - I am hoping that I have not caused too much damage with sun and the harsh cleansers I used to use...St. Ives apricot was so popular at that time.

Loved these tips straight from the facialists. It was especially interesting to read that ground nuts are often too harsh for the face.
by HeathRene Friday, April 5, 2013 at 05:14PM Report as inappropriate
I was told by my facialist to stop using the St. Ives Apricot scrub because the pits were so big they were causing little micro tears on my face that bacteria was getting in. This was causing me to have way more pimples than I should. Switching to a nicer rice scrub really helped me out a lot. Good to see they included this tip!!

Economics? OK. Peace prize? Sure. But whoever came up with the concept of brunch deserves a Nobel as well.
There is no better way to start a weekend -- or celebrate its halfway point -- than with a meal that straddles the breakfast-lunch barrier. It's morning fare kicked up a notch, served in leisurely fashion and at a civilized time.
So here's our gift to you, three brunch places you may not have even known existed. You're welcome.
Hot Italian
Address: 5959 Shellmound St., Emeryville
Contact: 510-922-1369; www.hotitalian.net
Hours: 11:30 a.m.-9:30 p.m. Mondays-Thursdays; until 11 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Open for brunch at 10:30 a.m. Saturdays and Sundays.
Brunch tab: $32.63 for two.
Hot Italian is every bit as hip as the name and location -- between a Peet's and an Urban Outfitters in Emeryville -- suggest. So consider us surprised when we rolled up at 10:30 a.m. on a recent Saturday to no line for brunch at this large pizzeria in the city's Public Market.
Actually, we were the restaurant's first customers. The only employee in sight was wiping down tables from the night before but put in our orders for espresso and mochas while we perused the menu. The place was enormous by our brunch-spot standards, with 10 community tables and nothing smaller.
The weekend brunch menu at Hot Italian is small and focused, with pizzas, paninis, calzones and a few plates of cured meats, cheeses and seasonal fruits.
Razzoli ($12), a thin-crust pizza of scrambled eggs, caramelized onions, housemade fennel sausage, mozzarella and fontina cheese, was heavenly. The pizza was piping hot. The egg wasn't cracked and jiggling in the center but rather blended with the cheeses and cooked together. I liked that.
My no-cheese dining companion enjoyed the Bresaola Brunch ($12), a plate of impressively cured and quite lean Italian beef with two fried Clover eggs and sauteed spinach. But he complained that the accompanying sliced pizza crust was not warm and soft like it was on my Razzoli. It was cold and crunchy.
However, Hot Italian's charcuterie was so good it made us wish we'd ordered Piatto Di Salumi & Formaggi, a $10 plate of cured meats, cheese, marinated olives, marcona almonds, and seasonal fruit that would've delighted the entire table, including my 15-month-old, who couldn't get enough of the fennel sausage. Next time.
Service was surprisingly slow, and a bit cold, considering we were the restaurant's first and only customers for at least half an hour. But it won't keep us from going back to try the other pizzas. We love not waiting in line for brunch.

Lucca Bar & Grill
Address: 439 First St., Benicia
Contact: 707-745-3749; www.luccabar.com
Hours: 11:30 a.m.-9 p.m. Mondays-Wednesdays; until 10 p.m. Thursdays-Saturdays with bar food until midnight. Brunch begins at 10 a.m. Saturdays and Sundays. Lucca closes at 9 p.m. Sundays.
Brunch tab: $31.14 for two.
Let's face it, antique shopping is hard work. All that strolling in and out is bound to build up an appetite. Good thing more and more restaurants on the main drag of this artist's hamlet have expanded their menus and hours to include brunch.
Lucca offers numerous options for eggs, including an array of skillets, a quiche, a Benedict, and a deliciously spicy version of huevos rancheros. They also do bottomless mimosas for anyone who orders an entree -- a major plus.
But, the carbo-vore in us wondered where the pancakes were. Maybe a waffle? Their version of french toast ($9) is deep-fried -- state-fair-style -- and ordering it was a regret. Thank goodness our waiter noticed the picked-over fried batter on our plate and didn't charge us for it. Classy move on his part.
Maybe the French Toast Episode was meant to be, because it led us to order the Lucca Rancheros ($12), two fried eggs over a crispy corn tortilla sandwich of refried beans and ground chorizo sausage. I loved how the eggs were fried and blended seamlessly with the top tortilla. The dish was served warm and the accompanying spicy red sauce was perfect.
Unfortunately, the Veggie Skillet ($12) gave us Denny's flashbacks. It was overloaded with cheddar cheese and the chunks of yellow squash and zucchini were cut too big to cook through. They were hard. Thankfully, we got our vegetable fix from the Quiche ($11), spinach and mushrooms folded together with eggs, cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.
We had to fight our toddler for the small bowl of fresh fruit topped with powdered sugar.

Salute e Vita Ristorante
Address: 1900 Esplanade, Richmond
Contact: 510-215-0803, www.salutemarinabay.com
Hours: Open daily for lunch and dinner; weekend brunch is 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturdays and 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Sundays.
Brunch tab: $30.34 for two
Marina Bay is one of those serendipitous spots outsiders stumble on by accident, while checking out Richmond's Rosie the Riveter memorial, perhaps. It's lovely. The air is thick with the scent of the sea, the marina brims with masts and bicyclists whiz by on the blustery, seaward path. As for your brunch destination: It's a yellow Victorian with killer views, owned by an Ethiopian-born, Italian-raised woman who started her career here as a server.
Menbere Aklilu's swanky Italian restaurant draws happy crowds for lunch, dinner and cocktails, but on this particular sunny Sunday, there was no problem getting a table for brunch. (Make reservations if you want to guarantee that availability, though.)
Salute is an old-school restaurant, right down to the dessert cart, so the brunch menu, which is heavy on the eggs Benedict and eggs Florentine end of the spectrum, could probably use an update. But hypocrites that we are, we grouse over the shortage of lighter fare, while realizing that nothing on this planet -- certainly not any yogurt-granola parfait thing -- could dissuade us from ordering Italian sausage and poached eggs, smothered in marinara and melting mozzarella, and served over creamy polenta.
This is no place for dieters. Just saying. And Sunday brunch includes complimentary mimosas.
The Polenta e Uova ($14.95) is every bit as good as it sounds, and if you are more sensible than we are, you'll go halfsies on it. Or at least not pair it with the also tasty, but very large Calzone con Salsiccia e Spinaci ($14.95), the pizza dough encasing scrambled eggs, Italian sausage, spinach, ricotta and mozzarella.
Dine like that and you'll need a very long walk afterward. Good thing there's the perfect venue for that just outside the door, with killer views.

Contractor hosts summer camp
Published: Wednesday, July 24, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 24, 2013 at 12:10 a.m.
Chet Morrison Contractors in Houma was one of two businesses invited to host a summer camp session for Work It! Louisiana.
The "Work It! Summer Camp for Educators is a three-day program where educators from Assumption, Lafourche and Terrebonne parishes are given the opportunity to tour local area businesses and participate in hands-on activities in technical programs available at Fletcher Technical Community College and Nicholls State University, such as petroleum services, geometrics and culinary arts.
The program, paid for through the Greater New Orleans Foundation and the South Central Industrial Association, is geared toward making educators aware of career and technical education and training in correlation with business and industry needs.
On July 9, middle school to high school level educators and guidance counselors, ranging from English and math to science and biology teachers, visited Chet Morrison Contractors' Houma facility and were joined by 10 management personnel who led a presentation.
Chet Morrison Contractors provides construction, maintenance and abandonment services to the oil and gas industry for land, inshore and offshore environments.

WASHINGTON – Jan. 26, 2012 – The U.S. House of Representatives' Jan. 23 vote on bill H.R. 3117 could mean permanent easy access for hunters looking to buy their federal duck stamps online. The e-Duck Stamp program, started four years ago on a trial basis, allows hunters 16 and older to purchase temporary duck stamps online until their physical stamps arrive in the mail.
Prior to this pilot program, waterfowl hunters were required to buy federal migratory bird hunting and conservation stamps, or duck stamps, at post offices and sporting goods stores. The trouble came when suppliers ran out of stamps early in the season or small rural post offices didn't carry the stamps at all.
Ducks Unlimited's Scott Sutherland, director of the Governmental Affairs Office in Washington, D.C., testified before the House Committee on Natural Resources to keep the e-Duck Stamp program alive after its pilot period ended. He lauded the bill's sponsor, Rep. Rob Wittman of Virginia.
"The trial that was arranged under the Electronic Duck Stamp Act legislation has worked," Sutherland testified in October 2011. "Because of its success in making federal duck stamps easier to obtain, while preserving the heritage and utility of the traditional stamps and attendant art, Ducks Unlimited supports the proposal to make this program permanent."
Originally enacted in 1934, the Federal Duck Stamp was created as a federal waterfowl hunting license and a means to conserve waterfowl habitat. The program has generated more than $800 million to protect more than 6 million acres of waterfowl habitat in the United States, land now part of the USFWS National Wildlife Refuge System. The stamps now cost $15 per year, with 98 percent of revenue going straight to land purchases, easements and leases.
"For generations, the funds that waterfowlers spend create jobs, pay for conservation programs, and the duck stamp is a good example of the effort to invest in the resource we care for," Sutherland said. "Funds from the purchase of this stamp go toward conserving land beneficial to the public and waterfowl across the country. Ducks Unlimited stands firmly behind this program, and we are seeking support from Congress to make this important online component permanent."
Now that the House has responded positively to this push for the program, with a 373-1 vote, DU is asking the Senate to do the same. If the Senate vote is successful, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service would have the authority to make the program permanent and extend it to all states.
Ducks Unlimited is the world's largest nonprofit organization dedicated to conserving North America's continually disappearing waterfowl habitats. Established in 1937, DU is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, with special events, projects and promotions across the continent. Ducks Unlimited has conserved more than 12 million acres thanks to contributions from more than a million supporters across the continent. Guided by science and dedicated to program efficiency, DU works toward the vision of wetlands sufficient to fill the skies with waterfowl today, tomorrow and forever.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (October 31, 2012)--Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan told supporters Wednesday in his home state of Wisconsin that they shouldn't give up and should imagine what will be broadcast on television next week.
He said that voters need to do everything they can to make sure TV screens show a win for his running mate, Republican Mitt Romney.
Polls show a tight race in the battleground states between Romney and President Barack Obama and both parties are making a hard pitch in the campaign's final days.
Ryan in recent days has urged supporters to consider whether they want to change the country on Election Day or whether they want to wait four more years before Mr. Obama leaves office after his second term.

Introduction to Microeconomics
This course is a rigorous introduction to the microeconomic theory of markets: why we have them, how they work, what they accomplish and why they sometimes fail. The theory will be applied to current events and policy debates to understand, analyze and evaluate market outcomes.
Students should expect to work on the course daily. Each week will include both synchronous and independent study segments. The independent part includes 2 sessions a week, each about 1-2 hours, of pre recorded lectures, in short segment format, followed by a short quiz. The synchronous time slots will be used for application and extension of this material. Students will work in small, virtual, groups with the professor and a TA as monitors and mentors. Participating in on line discussion will be compulsory and part of the graded requirements of the course. Each week will also have a graded assignment to be completed over the weekend. The course will conclude with a final 2 hour exam.
Schedule of topics:
Week One: Where do markets come from? We will start with understanding the constraint of scarcity that we face and the concept of opportunity cost that reflects the true cost of any decision we make.
Week Two: Part 1: We will discuss how gains from specialization according to our comparative advantage allows us to use our resources efficiently. Part 2: We will introduce the basic model of Supply & Demand. We will also introduce of the concept of elasticity to discuss effects of price and income changes on market outcomes. This will allow you to communicate with other economists and finally understand those business pages and market updates.
Week Three: Part 1: We will explore the great accomplishment of markets: maximizing the size of the pie or the total benefit to society Part 2: we will learn what happens when government intervenes in the market? We will analyze price floors and ceilings, taxes and subsidies and learn how the best intentions sometimes lead to very unfortunate results.
Week Four: Part 1: Introduction to firms' decisions: understanding firms' cost curves and the goal of profit maximization. Part 2: The Perfectly Competitive Market: what is it? does it exist? why is it a crucial benchmark?
Week Five: Part 1: Monopolies of various types: one price monopoly, natural monopoly, price discrimination and monopolistic competition. What market outcomes do we get in each case? How should government intervene in such cases? Part 2: When markets fail: externalities and public good.

STEWART AIRPORT — The nation's nine largest airlines, including the three serving Stewart International Airport, posted a collective profit of $2.3 billion in the second quarter of 2012, the U.S. Department of Transportation reported.
It was the fifth consecutive quarter the airlines, which carried 80 percent of the nation's passengers during the period, showed a collective operating profit.
However, it was the first time in those five quarters that all nine showed individual profits.
The analysis of the quarter found that among the Stewart-based airlines, US Airways, which flies to Philadelphia, had the most impressive numbers: a $395 million operating profit, representing a 10.3 percent profit margin. Its net income, which factors in non-operating income and expenses, one-time costs and income taxes, was $321 million.
JetBlue, which flies to Orlando and Fort Lauderdale, had an operating profit of $120 million, or 9.4 percent. Its net income was $52.5 million.
Delta, which dropped its Atlanta flights in September but still flies to Detroit from Stewart, had an operating profit of $368 million or 3.8 percent. The airline had a net loss of $120.4 million for the quarter.
The department also released its analysis of airline employment for July. Overall, the nation's so-called network or legacy carriers showed a 0.8 percent increase in full-time equivalent employees compared to July 2011. Two part-time employees are counted as one full-time employee in these calculations.
The department said this was the 20th consecutive month airline employment increased compared to the same month the previous year — like the revenue growth, a good sign as the industry continues to recover from the recession.
US Airways showed a 0.6 percent increase in full-time employees, while Delta was down 2.4 percent.
JetBlue showed a 6.1 percent increase in full-time equivalent employees, well above the 3.5 percent average increase among low-cost carriers.

Starting around 18 months, toddlers begin to notice differences and commonalities between objects—which means it's time to sort and group!
HOW THEY PLAY: Preschoolers naturally seek to organize objects by color, size, shape, texture and type. Feed their hunger for this type of play by providing sorting toys like lacing beads, shape sorting cubes and block assortments. Encourage your child to sort things in daily life, using all of his senses: Is that a bird or a dog making noise outside? Is this a dark or a light towel? Are these groceries warm or cold? They'll be happily busy working on this exciting new skill . . . and you may even get some help putting the groceries away and sorting the laundry!
WHAT THEY'RE LEARNING: As kids observe each item and think through which ones are the same and which are different, they'll be developing visual perception and cognitive skills. The thought processes being practiced now—The red blocks are different from the blue blocks—will later emerge during the school years as your child tackles numbers, letter formation, spelling, scientific observation, and much more. Your child is also building verbal skills while considering different ways to describe each object and group.
Provide lots of variety and plenty of play time to help these key skills grow. And join in! Hearing your different perspective may help your child see new cognitive connections . . . and you'll be strengthening emotional connections, too.
