Fujitsu launches Singapore field trial of AI-enhanced event-congestion-mitigation system
November 09, 2015
Fujitsu Laboratories has begun a field trial that aims to reduce congestion around major events, stadiums, and shopping centers through behavioral guidance. This field trial uses a smartphone application that, based on the expected congestion when people return home from major events, proposes behavior or how to spend time best suited to the user, and then verifies the results.
These suggestions for behavior are generated by Human Centric AI Zinrai, Fujitsu Limited's systematic approach to artificial-intelligence. This technology works to fine-tune the details of suggestions with the goal of mitigating congestion, by shifting times of peak traffic and modes of transportation.

TTI/INRIX study shows US traffic congestion back at pre-recession levels; average travel delay/commuter 2x that in 1982
August 27, 2015
A new report produced by INRIX and the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) shows that traffic congestion in the US has returned to pre-recession levels. Washington, D.C. tops the list of gridlock-plagued cities, with 82 hours of delay per commuter, followed by Los Angeles (80 hours), San Francisco (78 hours), New York (74 hours), and San Jose (67 hours).
According to the 2015 Urban Mobility Scorecard, travel delays due to traffic congestion caused drivers to waste more than 3 billion gallons of fuel and kept travelers stuck in their cars for nearly 7 billion extra hours—42 hours per rush-hour commuter. The total nationwide price tag: $160 billion, or $960 per commuter. Other top-level findings include:
GSMA study indicates Bangkok could gain US$1B per year in benefits through ITS; reduced travel time, CO2 emissions and accidents
August 24, 2015
A new case-based research report produced by the GSMA—Building Digital Societies in Asia: Making Transportation Smarter—indicates that the successful implementation of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) in the capital city of Thailand could reduce travel times between two to four days per commuter per year. In addition, CO2 emissions contributed by road traffic could be reduced by 10-20%, or 3 to 5 million metric tonnes per year.
Further, ITS solutions could reduce the number of road accidents by up to 8,000 per year, possibly saving up to 100 lives or nearly a quarter of the annual road traffic deaths reported in Bangkok in 2013. GSMA estimates that reductions in travel time, CO2 emissions and road accidents through ITS could result in economic benefits worth up to $1 billion per year for Bangkok alone.
BMW brings Enlighten real-time signals app into car
July 27, 2015
The BMW Group is the first manufacturer to bring the EnLighten App, by Connected Signals, into the car. Drivers of BMW Vehicles with iOS Devices will be able to see traffic signal data on the vehicle's display in real time. The EnLighten app makes driving in cities easier by helping the driver anticipate traffic signal changes, which can increase safety and help save fuel by avoiding unnecessary acceleration.
The EnLighten app shows the current status of the traffic light in front of the car in real time as well as a countdown to when the signal will change. Based on the current vehicle position, as well as its speed, the EnLighten app offers a recommendation about whether or not to stop for the traffic light or proceed through. An audio alert notifies the driver about a pending change in the signal they are approaching.
Germany's CONVERGE project presents results; architecture of cooperative systems for future mobility
June 25, 2015
Over the last three years, Germany's €18-million (US$20-million) CONVERGE (Communication Network for Vehicles on the Road with a Global Extension) research initiative, funded by the Federal Government, has been developing the technical and operational framework of a cooperative architecture for the communication of vehicles with the transport infrastructure, service providers and other vehicles (V2X-communication). One priority has been the development of an access concept, which enables a wide variety of providers to contribute services and then make them available to road users. Now the results have been presented to the public.
The technical requirements for safe and efficient transport of individuals and road freight have long since been fulfilled. What has been lacking is a flexible and secure network of information sources and information recipients.

Navigant forecasts global smart urban mobility market to hit $25.1 billion in 2024
The global smart urban mobility infrastructure and services market is expected to grow from $5.1 billion in 2015 to $25.1 billion in 2024, according to a new report from Navigant Research—a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.4%.
Navigant expects growth through 2018 to be rapid, at a rate of more than 20% annually. From 2019 onward, Naigant projects a slower pace—from around 20% from 2018 to 2019 to a 12% growth rate at the end of the forecast period. Navigant expects growth to slow in some of the developed country markets, which are early adopters of mobility solutions. This effect will be balanced by the introduction of advanced urban mobility systems in developing markets, especially China, according to the report.

There have been so many times that I don't even receive their magazines. I've called to inform them that I should at least be receiving the products promised if I am required to pay for them. They reassure me that they will contact the magazine people and send me a couple of free issues and postpone my next payment til the following month.
I recently cancelled the card they had been withdrawing from because I got a new one. I then received a letter a few days ago stating that my card had been declined and I had a couple of different payment options. I'm worried that if I don't pay that I will for some reason be sent to collections or something, even though I shouldn't have to be paying them in the first place.
I also have no desire to call and give them a new card number because they have conned me into paying for something I don't even want, nor would I ever be able to read all the magazines they have sent.

Arizona Cardinals
Grantland takes shot at Cardinals' QB situation
When you're bad, as the Arizona Cardinals have been over the last 10 weeks, you instantly become the butt of every joke.
Analysts had no problem ripping the Redbirds this week on national television and radio. Late-night host Jay Leno didn't mind including Arizona in his opening monologue on Monday.
Even the editor-and-chief of Grantland and renowned pop culture buff Bill Simmons had to pull a parting shot to end the week.
In his Friday column, Simmons decided to rank the top 45 quarterbacks in the NFL based on sports movie films like The Longest Yard, Any Given Sunday, Leatherheads and North Dallas Forty.
The Cardinals active duo — John Skelton and Ryan Lindley — were obviously not as fortunate as most. Come to think of it, Simmons ranked them dead last at No. 44 and No. 45.
Nine straight losses and an historically bad defeat last Sunday in Seattle (58-0)can do that to a team.
Needing a movie to capture just how bad Arizona's quarterbacks have been — no touchdowns passes thrown since November 4 in Green Bay — Simmons chose one of the few flicks with a Valley connection: Jerry Maguire.
In the 1996 Academy Award-winning film, Cuba Gooding Jr. stars as the Cardinals' fictional star wide receiver Rod Tidwell. The plot details Tidwell's efforts to try and leverage a new contract with the Cardinals, but he continually put himself in harms way trying to make tough catches over the middle. The root cause of which being of course, poor passes thrown by an unnamed Arizona quarterback.
Sound familiar?
Here's Simmons take on the current run of futility at the quarterback position in Arizona:
It's been one of the most incredible Bad QB runs we've ever seen — combined, they've notched 14 interceptions, six fumbles, 24 sacks, four TAINTS (touchdowns after interceptions), one FART (fumble after interception) and just two passing TDs. By any conceivable metric, they've been historically atrocious: QB rating (55.4 for Skelton, 42.6 for Lindley), QBR (13.9 for Skelton, an incredible 6.8 for Lindley) and especially DVOA (-35.7 percent for Skelton, -64.9 percent for Lindley). They've also destroyed poor Fitzgerald's career … and he was only headed toward becoming one of the three best receivers of all time before this happened.
Fitzgerald's last seven games: 21 catches, 222 yards, one TD
Fitzgerald's previous 130 games: 729 catches, 10,045 yards, 76 TDs
Fact: In Fitzgerald's last four games, he was targeted 37 times … and caught six passes. SIX!
Is reality imitating art in the Valley this season? Well, maybe a little.

Fashion Forward: Changing Global Sourcing Practices
Commitment by
In 2013, Mercado Global committed to scaling its sustainable sourcing practices by recruiting 62 additional brands and retailers to partner with indigenous women's artisan cooperatives in Guatemala, and better integrate women-owned SMEs into global supply chains. As a result, an additional 112 indigenous women artisans will gain income-earning opportunities in textiles, and 40 additional artisans will have increased access to microloans and training to grow their small businesses. This model will create immediate social and economic impact, such as a viable, high-value fair trade alternative to international retail companies interested in sustainable sourcing, increased access to education for indigenous children, improved standard of living for historically marginalized populations, and greater possibilities of future impact in communities worldwide by demonstrating to retailers the shared benefits of sourcing ethically.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Holiday seasons are thought to be the best times of the year business-wise. But businessmen forget clients and customers during this time, as they give more importance to family. One should make a conscious marketing effort to attract new customers and increase customer loyalty during this time.
Every start-up business makes mistakes frequently. Quite a few of these are common mistakes from which every business must learn.
Cost reduction increases efficiency and profits, especially in troubled financial times like the present. However, some businesses compromise on quality of products and services to achieve this. This is not the right approach. One must understand how and when to cut costs.
Building good credit has always been very important. The business' future with banks and clients is dependent on its creditworthiness.
When you meet new people for business networking, it is essential to make a good first impression as it influences the entire time period of the relationship.

This product was even better then I thought it would be and I can be very fussy.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? True to picture
big wallet held lots of cards and stayed shut.
Gave this as a gift for my mom. She is also a Rioni collector, so really appreciated it.
I own a compact Rioni handbag, which I love. I bought this Rioni wallet to fit in that bag. This design isn't as compact as it looks. The wallet is nearly the length of a checkbook yet with only three card slots plus ID window, and one general purpose slot that shares space with the back side of the coin pouch. The coin pouch looks like it will open wide in the product picture, yet barely opens at all so it is hard to get at one's change. When making use of the coin pouch, there isn't much room to use the general purpose slot behind it. The money slot is unusually deep, enough so to parallel park your cash. The depth of the cash slot makes it hard to take a quick glance at what's inside. The leather is tanned to a amber honey shade, not the pale vachetta pictured. The interior stamp does not say "genuine leather", and you don't get that fresh leather scent when you open the package. I believe this to be TPR, a type of leather composite, not the vachetta look and feel common to Rioni's line of handbags. I have owned a Rioni handbag for years, yet waited years to buy the matching wallet. What a disappointment in both size, functionality and materials! This is just too big and boxy in shape for what little it can accommodate, and the leather is too thin and processed in feel to justify the price.
I bought the purse first, then saw the wallets. The wallet fits perfect and looks just as nice as the purse. I thought it would be a little bigger but, I still like the brand.
This was way better than I thought. I really love it
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Very nice
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Better than I thought
- How accurate was the sizing? It was right on
It looked exactly like the picture. Needed a new wallet, it's great.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Awesome
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Awesome
- How accurate was the sizing? Great

If I have to define this great work,I have only one word excellent.Here the characters(historical and real of course) rise from the usual fetters of the page and come to life and live with us as we read the book.William dalrymple being a scholar in history there is no worry about the details,they are well researched(mainly from Delhi's 1857 urdu newslets and dociments)
The is mainly about the famous 1857 mutiny(as the Brits call it) or the independence struggle,where the Brits subdue the sepoy forces of Delhi gathered from all over India due to thier own mistakes.Then the Brits take over Delhi and send Bahadur Shah Zafar to Rangoon,where he is made prisinor.
The best part about the writer is he never slants to either the Brits side nor the Mughal's side but does the work of an uninvolved spectator.
Once again Dalrymple enthralls and enlightens us through his in depth research, vivid description and intelligent and honest analysis. The amount of research and effort that has gone into writing this book is commendable and i salute Dalrymple for undertaking the mammoth work. It is perhaps the first account of the mutiny from the Indian point of view. Even though it does not give us the entire story and centres round the part played by bahadur shah zafar, the reader can very well piece together the complete picture. Zafar may have been incompetent and spineless but as the descendant of a great dynasty he deserves to be remembered with far more respect than he actually was given.
The Last Mughal - A brilliant portray of 1857.. A must recommended for all who are interested in history of India... A elaborate and heart wrenching depiction of Delhi of 1857, of what could have been and should have been, of rebel atrocities and British vengeance.. Of a king of a decaying dynasty who did all he could only to be made a villain in the history and also to a never told story of Hindu-Muslim unity where in an army of high caste Hindus rallied to revive the Mughal dynasty fighting side by side Muslim brothers.. Simply riveting and brilliantly written .. Hats off William Dalrymple.. Highly recommended..
I am a layman and find the book very absorbing. It is a most detailed account of 1857 India. It can be used as a reference book as well. Undoubtedly the author is a very learned person and a master story teller.
The book gives the detailed information avout the pre and post analysis of the revolt of 1857 its causes and effect, esp from the mughal and sepoys side, for the very first time the views of the revolt from the side of sepoys was presented by the author, in which he tries to explain the agony of the last mughal ruler and his court before and after 1857, the spread of the revolt and change in the british policies pre and post 1857.
Good book about Indian history, About Delhi, sepoy mutiny and the decline of Delhi Mughal Dynasty. Nice read. Very simply explained by the author. I got to know many things expanded my knowledge if that is what books are meant to be..
If you are to think a second thought you can buy as it is not a bad buy.
If you want know the history of Delhi during British period then, read this book..... This book an absolute gem for history lovers. Delivery was fast as usual.
A book worth reading to know how the British treated the last Indian ruler.Many facts which were not known so far have been covered. It is an unbiased account of that period
I bought this book from flipkart and got delivery within 2 days.
One of my friend suggested me to read this book as I was really intrested to know about the fall of Mughal Dynasty and this book has summarized all that reasons and facts which were responsible for this.
In single word-Excellent
Historical!! IT was an excellent piece of writing. Full of facts and stories. Better than my history book, indeed. Had fun.

Skip to comments.Moved to Shreveport area for business. Need help.
Posted on 04/24/2012 11:11:08 AM PDT by carjic
Moved to Shreveport area for business. (Sorry for vanity) So is this a lib town or Conservative or What? If any freepers are here please give me some scoop. I was listening to 710 am talk and heard this guy called Moon Griffon on a weekday talk show trashing Jindal bad and thought he was a big time lib. Then I catch him again and he sounds like me...big time conservative who is disowning the pubs because they are chicken S..T and no different than the libs. Any suggestions? I don't know a soul in this whole state.
First of all, welcome to Louisiana! You will fall in love with the people and unique culture of the Bayou State.
Secondly, it has become somewhat fashionable to trash Jindal on the radio for some reason. I think he's doing a pretty good job taking on the teachers' unions and upsetting the apple cart, so to speak. Shreveport and the I-20 corridor in general is a pretty conservative area. Moon is a pretty solid radio guy but he does say things at times just to be outlandish and controversial.
Thanks. I have been here for 24 days and so far...I do like it.
You will find, however, that many democrats in local and state governments are far more conservative than NE US republicans.
I'm right down the road in Ruston, and used to live in Shreveport, so I know the area. Moon is a personal friend of mine, and he is conservative. But he's never been a big fan of Jindal's, as he thinks he isn't a true conservative.
I agree with Moon, but have to give Jindal his due on the education reforms that are working their way through the legislature.
What kind of business you in? I may have some contacts over there that can help you.
Thanks. I'm in Insurance but it's kind of a niche business. But thanks. This is very pretty and so different. I have been living in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas for 11 years so this is bigtime different. Like it so far but may change my mind come winter. I don't yet own a coat. lol
On what issues do you believe him not to be conservative enough? I think he does deserve his due on education reform. That will do wonders for this state.
I've met Gov. Jindal and talked to him one-on-one several times. It always strikes me how much attention he pays to what a person has to say and how he will quickly admit that he doesn't know the answer to a question if he doesn't. He will darn sure find out and get back with you though. That means a lot to me that he is not your typical politician.
"manner" was supposed to be "matter". sorry.
I can't imagine that Louisiana is dominated by "liberals" (but then again, this ain't my daddy's America anymore). The "Napoleonic Code" is a bit foreign to me, but I've always found folks from LA are good people. I've gone to LA several times on business.
If I had to move, LA would be one of those states that would be acceptable to me.
I hope you don't mind me "borrowing" your tag line...
Immediately after he took office in 2008 - and this is all documented right here on FRee Republic - Jindal did three "non-conservative" things.
He busted the state spending cap and increased state spending about a billion dollars.
State senate waives spending cap; Jindal can spend additional $1 billion
by Ed Anderson
Friday March 14, 2008, 3:22 PM
He then opposed the rollback of the Stelly Tax and then supported a legislative pay raise until he got his brains beat out on the issue.
All that happened within his first six months in office.
For the past couple of years, he's been more fiscally conservative that he was at first.
But I still don't trust him, not a bit. He's a politician, and he would change his spots in an instant, if he thought that's the way the wind was blowing.
Howdy, neightbor!
I'm about 50 miles west of you. This area is a great place to live. I hope you will enjoy it.
Jazz Fest starts this weekend. Come on down to New Orleans.
I see that others have already given you welcome and good advice. I no longer live in Louisiana, but have to say it is one of my favorite states, although I much prefer Southern Louisiana to Northern Louisiana. That distinction is your first compass point difference, as the demographics are very different.
South Louisiana is VERY Catholic, and the population is a mix which is heavy with French, Spanish, Italian and Irish, especially as you approach Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Lafayette is sort of the heart of Cajun country. Delightful people, with big hearts, open arms, and a cuisine that will make you fall on your knees and give thanks to God for giving us such great things to eat. Off the wall fun music too, in several different flavors. You'll see.
North Louisiana is largely 'Kaintuck', and is more of an extention of the Southern Bible Belt. Protestant, much more Scoth Irish, and closer to what you would find in East Texas than South Louisiana. Not quite as fun loving and relaxed IMO, but still great people and good neighbors as you will soon find.
Shreveport. Well. It is my least favorite city in Louisiana. Areas are dangerous, and it is not attractive to me, but that is personal assessment. That said, a LOT of money goes through that place, and should offer you some opportunity.
Perhaps if you gave a hint of your skills or profession someone can Freepmail you with some ideas. It is not my bailiwick, so I can't.
Make some day trips. Louisiana is one of the most historically fascinating and complex states in the present Union. Deal with Louisianans in an honest and open manner as peers and they will do the same to you. You have landed on your feet, IMO.
Jindal you will have to make up your own mind about. In my opinion he is not as strong as his boosters would say, or as poor as his detractors say. He is not an impressive leader in my book. He IS a staggeringly competent, smart and effective support to a strong leader. He is a force multiplier for any focused and strong willed executive, but not one in his own right. Again, that is my personal opionion.
Jindal got his start as a protege of Governor Mike Foster, may God bless the man and send many ducks in his direction. Governor Foster came from Shreveport, by the way. One of the few candidates I have never regretted supporting and voting for.
Actually, Murphy J. "Mike" Foster, Jr. was from Franklin, LA, south and east of Morgan City.
So was his grandfather, who was also a Louisiana governor.
The Napoleonic Code is a bit foreign to me, but Ive always found folks from LA are good people.
The Code Napoleon is foreign to Louisiana as well. The basis of civil law in Louisiana is the Code Civil of 1808, and subsequent iterations of the Civil Code. Fun topic, reaching back to Louis XIV and the Roman Republic. Sadly contaminated by Anglo-American common law influences and decadent juridical moles operating out of an effete, arrogant and decadent law school in New Orleans. I am half joking about decadent juridical moles. Well, maybe 27% joking.
So you are back in my Texas? Longview or Marshall?
Actually, Murphy J. Mike Foster, Jr. was from Franklin, LA, south and east of Morgan City.
Ah! I remember that now. I had double checked this site to make sure he is still alive (I hope he is still enjoying a sportsman's life) and they attributed Shreveport as his birthplace.
Good man. One of the few I liked as much after the election and time in office as I did before.
Ahhh...thanks. The 27% comment was pretty funny too!
All that said about Jindal, I still voted for him last year, as I did in 2007. And you are quite correct about his pro-life and pro-family stance, which I think he's quite sincere about.
But if you were to rate him on a conservatism scale of 1 to 10, with Ronald Reagan approaching a 10, Mittens a 2.2, George Bush a 4.5, Newt a 6.9, Perry a 5.7, Vitter a 9.0, I would rate Jindal a 6 or 7.
That's just my opinion, though.
I mostly agree with the previous poster. Shreveport is a lot more like East Texas than it is like Southern Louisiana. More conservative socially. Crime is HORRIBLE in certain neighborhoods and therefore drives the crime stats of Shreveport up, however, if you stay out of those areas it's a very safe place to be.
710 is a good station. Almost all the hosts are conservative. Griffon is just an ego-maniac though. His hatred of Jindal is mostly because he expected to be a large influence on policy and he really hasn't been. Jindal has done a great job as compared to Blanco who he replaced. Just ignore that blow hard when it comes to anything he says about Jindal. He gets it right on most of the others though.
Welcome to Northwest Louisiana. I have lived and worked in the Shreveport area for many years, and am now retired in DeSoto Parish. You will find the business climate in Shreveport/Bossier to be very robust. Many of the horror stories regarding employment and business decline you hear in the national news simply do not apply here — the Shreveport area is thriving.
One other thing to beware of - The (Shreveport) Times, the local Gannett rag. Full of the typical screeching liberals that infect Gannett newspapers nationwide.
Occasionally, a conservative local columnist will be allowed to opine.
There is one exception, Vickie Wellborn, one of the best local government (along with your's truly) reporters in the state. She knows what to look for at city council, school board, and police jury (county commission) meetings.
Other than her, believe nothing published in that paper.
May I too welcome you to Louisiana. We are a conservative state, but in the larger cities there is a concentration of grasshoppers. Ants are scattered all over our state. Your conservative views are welcomed so please feel at home.
As for Moon Griffon, he is quick to criticize, condemn and complain, but he rarely offers any solutions to the problems he focuses on. In the case of Gov. Jindal, he (Griffon) loves to hide behind his friend C. B. Forgottson. Moon lets C. B. do a lot of his dirty work.
Griffon is also a hypocrite. He bemoans about all the taxes that we pay while at the same time he has as one of his major sponsors a solar panel company. This solar panel seller provides ads on Moon's show that let us all know that 80% of the cost of the panels will be paid for by the state (50%) and the feds (30%). The state and feds are none other than we taxpayers. So as far as Griffon is concerned, it is acceptable for our tax money to be squandered as long as he gets his share in the form of a sponsorship.
Moon is quick to call Gov. Jindal a hypocrite, but Moon should not throw stones as long as he is living in the glass house.
So, we conservatives in Louisiana are apparently stuck with The Moon Griffon Show until someone better and smarter comes along. I am surprised that is is taking so long for his replacement to surface. The "better and smarter" bar is actually set rather low in Moon's case. Personally I can't wait.
I'm also a South Texan, Corpus Christi. I'm in industrial construction and heavy maintenance and have worked the old Pennsoil-Atlas plant in Shreveport twice. I now live about 90 miles south of you on the Texas side.
As for a place in the area to live... Shreveport proper had a lot of white flight a generation or so back. "Progressive" Democrats took over the city government. I'd look out around Cross Lake in the Greenwood area. Bossier City isn't bad, but is really a mostly military town with both the good and bad that comes with it. The Lake is nicer and quieter and has (had?) good schools.
Go over to Bossier City to "Ralph & Kakoo's and order the Mahi Mahi smothered in Hollandaise and Grilled Shrimp. The older nice Restaurant in Shreveport I liked was closed down last time I went through.
Get a bass boat... good recreation and likely as not your clients will be out there with you. There are a lot of nice lakes in the area on both sides of the boarder. Hunting and shooting are also popular there.
Welcome carjic! I'm about an hour west of you in Longview. You'll like it around here. Be sure to check out nearby Caddo Lake.
Other than that, Moon is pretty conservative.
I guess I was not clear. My fault. I did not need help with my business. I was just trying to figure out politics here. I don't know a sole here so there was no one to ask. Business is good. But thanks
Probably one of the most conservative legislators in Baton Rouge.
Senator Barrow Peacock - District 37
Welcome to the webpage for Senate District 37, Shreveport-Bossier.
"I was just trying to figure out politics here."
Independent, unique, outspoken and energetic. Louisianans do many things very well. Conformity is not one of them, however.
Franklin is North and West of Morgan City.
Welcome to a great place my friend. Try excursions to Cajun country and you will not be disappointed. Louisiana is basically three places in one, The rest of the South (northern Louisiana), Nova Scotia, France and Spain on the Bayou (Cajun country), and Paris on the cheap (New Orleans). Sprinkled along the Mississippi River and many of the South Louisiana bayous you'll find remains of the old South still on view at the plantation homes which have been restored and opened to the public. Festivals galore as well. In all, quite a mix of things to do and places to see. Enjoy!
Just reading your post makes me miss particular places and people.
Thank you for your answers.

Can anyone venture a guess why CODI is up on a day when the Dow is down 250 points?
Sentiment: Hold
Beats the hell out of me. The CC was a disaster, earnings/CAD will be flat this hear, quite downbeat, no significant prospects for acquisitions/add-ons. Did indicate that even though CAD will not cover the distribution, they will maintain it for the year. Suspect that buying was from yield orientated folks. This is way overweighted in my portfolio and I have held it for many years primarily because of the distribution. That said, I have finally given up based on the abysmal growth/prospects. I had intended to beqin liquidating at least half of my position yesterday, but was stupidly dissuaded by the relative strength. Very bad and unfortunate decision on my part.
Sentiment: Sell
Someone must have been pleased with earning results, I haven`t listened to or read the conference call.

Obvious Extortion, what a scam

Either way, I have no clients in Maryland, and I know everyone I have spoken to personally, so I'm not quote sure I even know the person writing this report.
What I can tell you is in no more than 24 hours, after this report was written, I got an e-mail from one Marry Higgens of http://www.improveyourimage.org/ with a message claiming she can help me with my bad reputation.
A quick Google search of her name, company name, and phone number landed me with the following results.
I think you have enough information to see that this is one big joke and it says a lot of about ripoffreport.com, who simply allow anyone to post whatever they want, then host ads for those same companies.
what a frickin scam.

We went a ahead and leased the conference interpretation equipment on their behalf and dispatched a crew of interpreters at the event. Upon completion of our assignment of the 3rd and 4th, contrary to what was agreed, Ms. Schreiter walked away without paying us as agreed claiming she did not have a check book on her. She now was very cold and no longer the same I met a couple of days ago. She told me to email her an itemized invoice instead, which I did.
On Monday, they still wouldn't pay but wanted to meet to discuss the invoice. I declined meeting and arranged for conference call instead.
Mr. Art Jonak called us and started disputing everything on the invoice from the hours everybody witnessed our team interpreting non-stop speaker after speaker, to the meals they agreed to pay for the interpreters. Since he found a loophole in the contract which did not clearly stipulate that the client is liable for the interpreters meals when they are stationed at the client's premises , I went ahead and removed that charge and told him, our company will eat that cost. Even though Ms. Schreiter personally told our supervising Manager in location to just go ahead and invoice them for the meals as well. He could not get anything else removed from the invoice at that point.
To cut a long story short, Mr. Jonak, gave me credit number to pay for our services and the leasing of the equipment. I passed that information to our accounting department which has been unable to process the charge of $6,350 since. I contacted Ms. Schreiter who bluntly text me saying that it was our fault we did not charge the credit card the day they gave it to us and now we must wait until more money post into that account.
Who knows, we may never be able to get payment for our services but to all the people out there who have any kind of dealings or trades with them beware for they lack of ethics and they seem like straight Hustlers to me.

The Toys R Us 2009 "Everything for Baby" Catalogue had a number of coupons in it, one of which applied a $5 discount to "any Fisher Price Bouncer $49.99 and over." I clipped the coupon and handed it to the cashier; she input it, and I paid for our purchase. When I arrived home, I noticed that the $5 discount had not been applied to the purchase. It shows that the coupon was scanned, and at the bottom of the receipt I see "List of Rejected Coupons - Coupon 0474 (N5.00) Reserved."
I don't understand. The coupon is valid in Canada, good till Dec. 31, 2009, for Fisher Price bouncers, and for a value of $49.99 and over. My purchase satisfies all requirements. Equally as frustrating though, is that the cashier either didn't even notice or failed to inform us that the coupon had not been applied. This is the second time I have had a valid coupon not be applied to my purchase at Toys R Us.
As a customer it is difficult to stand in front of the other people who are waiting in line and carefully check that the cashier has scanned the items correctly. As a reputable business, I would expect Toys R Us to recognize this and ensure that their coupons scan correctly.
I contacted Toys R Us on March 22, 2009 to report the issue and request that a $5 refund be mailed to me. Toys R Us initially replied informing me that they had opened a case (#8029-128803468-8532) to investigate my concern. Despite two attempts to solicit an update regarding the issue, Toys R Us has failed to respond to my concerns.
At this point, I can only assume you Toys R Us has no interest in resolving this issue and maintaining its good name. I hope that this experience serves as a warning to other consumer to carefully check their receipts when shopping at Toys R Us, or even avoid shopping there entirely.

University of Missouri Extension is research based information that is relevant, reliable, and responsive to the needs of our clientele. From home finance to nutrition and fitness, to agronomy, farm and business planning, to family dynamics, extension has information for you. The purpose of this blog is to inform and educate the community on programs and information that impacts your daily life. Sharing of this information should steer you in the path of increased knowledge and awareness of where to find answers to your questions.
Weight loss is often included in the list of resolutions for the new year. Instead of going on another diet, choose to adopt healthy habits for a lifetime. To get started, here are ten suggestions based on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
Engage in 30 minutes of physical activity every day. This helps to reduce the risk of chronic diseases. To lose weight or maintain weight loss, 60-90 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity is recommended. Make half your plate fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables are high in nutrients and low in fat and calories. By incorporating a variety of fruits and vegetables into your diet on a daily basis, you are decreasing your risk of chronic diseases, vitamin deficiencies and other health problems. Get plenty of fiber: 20-35 grams each day. Fiber has many health benefits including reducing risks for chronic disease such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. When you are increasing fiber in your diet, make sure you increase fluid intake as well. Make at least half your grains whole grains. Choose from oatmeal, brown rice, popcorn, cereal, tortillas and bread. To assure the bread is whole grain, make sure the first grain ingredient listed on the package is whole wheat or another whole grain. Eat three cups of beans every week. Beans are packed with fiber, vitamins and minerals. One half cup of cooked beans can have as much as seven grams of fiber. (Beans offer a lot of nutrients at very little cost) Eat when you are hungry and stop when you are full. Extra weight and unhealthy eating habits begin when hunger and full cues are ignored. Make sure that when you eat it is because of hunger and not thirst or boredom. If you are not sure, try drinking a glass of water or do another activity. If you're still hungry a little while later, you'll know it probably is hunger. Limit total fat to no more than 25-35% of total calories. For a person consuming 2,000 calories per day, this means about 67 grams of fat per day. Saturated fat should be no more than 10 percent of total calories, or about 22 grams. Young children (1-3 years) can get about 30-40% of their calories from fat because they are still growing. Eat a variety of foods from all the food groups. Choose grains, fruits, vegetables, dairy products and meat and beans because each group provides different nutrients needed for good health. Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated. By being properly hydrated, your body can function at its best. Water is the best choice, but low-fat milk and 100 percent juice are also good choices when you're thirsty. Be a safe food handler. Keep food safe in your household by washing your hands often and keeping kitchen surfaces clean. Cook foods to a safe temperature to kill bacteria and then promptly refrigerate. Bacteria can grow at temperatures of 40° F to 140° F.
Habits are hard to change. Choose one goal at a time to work on and then move on to the next to ensure you meet your health goals. Soon, you'll feel better and be healthier!

The brother of Michael Jackson's accuser has admitted lying under oath in another case.
Jackson's attorney began his cross-examination of the 14-year-old today. Yesterday, the teen gave crucial and graphic testimony, saying he'd twice seen the pop star molest his sleeping brother.
Today, the boy admitted lying during a deposition for his mother's civil lawsuit against J-C Penney. In that case, he swore that his mother and father never fought and that his father never hit him.
Earlier today, the boy said Jackson once told him and his brother not to reveal what happened "even if they put a gun to your head." But it's unclear what incident Jackson may have been referring to.

Bollywoods favourite patriotic films
By: Reshma Kelkar, IndiaFM
Wednesday, August 16, 2006
"Freedom is like birth. Till we are fully free, we are slaves," said Mahatma Gandhi during the pre-independence period. We now check with the Bollywood personalities to find out about their favorite freedom fighter and also their favorite patriotic films.
Jackie Shroff
My favorite film: I like Border because I was in it.
Character that influenced me: Shivaji Maharaj because he was a great Maratha warrior. I say: Be independent, don't be in dependent.
Raima Sen
My favorite film: The Legend of Bhagat Singh and Gandhi
Character that influenced me: I think Bhagat Singh was one influential character which was played by Ajay Devgan. I also like Ben Kingsley, who played lead role in Gandhi.
I say: I would like to say that don't misuse your rights. Freedom comes with responsibility, so be responsible. Try and bring change to make this world a better place to live.
Aftab Shivdasani
My favorite film: Being a great fan of cricket, I always enjoyed watching Lagaan. It was one of my favorite movies. Rang De Basanti was an awesome patriotic film.
Character that influenced me: There are many characters that have touched me. I like Aamir's character of Bhuvan in Lagaan. Siddharth's character from Rang De Basanti stands out.
I say: India is a wonderful country that has beautiful hospitable people. Though it's overpopulated, suffering from pollution and has bad infrastructure, on the flip side it is rich in tradition. Believe in humanity and be compassionate about the people around you.
Rehaan Khan
My favorite film: I like Rang De Basanti.
Character that influenced me: I liked Aamir's character from RDB
My message: I would say that every youngster should understand the value and importance of Independence. Independence Day is very special to me because I was born on 16th August. My parents called me "Independence baby".
Koena Mitra
My favorite film: I like Border.
Character that influenced me: It's difficult to answer, as all patriotic characters are my favorite. I can't choose one.
I say: This recent blast has shaken us completely. I think what works in such time is unity. In such time of crisis no body differentiates people as rich or poor. The only thing that matters is humanity and we should maintain that.
Lyricist Sameer
My favorite film: Shaheed Bhagat Singh. It was a big opportunity for me to write something on Bhagat Singh.
Character that influenced me: Bhagat Singh. He is an immortal character and no one can forget him.
I say: Roko zulumon ki aandhi ko nafarat ka lahu na bahne do, kum se kum pyar ki dharti par pyar ko zinda rehne do.
Sushant Singh
My favorite film: I like The Legend of Bhagat Singh and old Haqeeqat, it was one of the best films of that time.
Character that influenced me: Sukhdev and Bhagat Singh these two freedom fighters are my favorite.
I say: I think we should understand that freedom comes with responsibility. Being a responsible citizen of Independent India we should pass on the history of Independence movement so that coming generation would realize the importance of Independence Day.
