I always respect an opinion on a controversial issue that might be different from my own opinion, even the current right-to-work bill currently being debated in the Indiana General Assembly. And I know that those who support right-to-work and those who don't have different fact sheets, different polls and different motives for wanting this bill passed or wanting it defeated.
The onslaught of pressure to bring us a synthetic natural gas plant that is being exerted by elected public officials, coal-company operators and so-called technocrats who want us to believe they can wave their magic wands and produce "clean coal" scares me.
If we were not already living in a veritable sea of toxic pollutants that has been produced primarily by the use of coal, I might understand their eagerness to pour more on us.
With the worst of winter likely yet to come, we may need to be reminded that we might have to spend 48 hours without electricity if a major winter storm hits and electrical service is lost.
If you have medical devices that run on electricity, make arrangements in advance for an alternative place to stay during a severe electrical outage.

I remember well a night many years ago when a dear friend who was adamantly pro-choice came to me, sobbing uncontrollably.
With defenses down, she unloaded a heavy burden she had long carried – a few years before she had chosen to abort her developing baby. She told me that not one day had passed that she did not think about her baby and regret her decision. My heart ached for my friend, as she was clearly tormented by her decision.
By DICK HEDRICK, By the Side of the Road
My father used to say, "There is nothing more over than Christmas." With regard to the hoopla, he was certainly right. I've just completed breaking down numerous boxes for recycling.
Colorful ribbons and bows have been discarded. Our nativity display has been repackaged, the artificial Christmas tree no longer illuminates the living room, all outdoor lighting has been dismantled.
Many people are familiar with the concept that if you do something right the first time, you reduce the potential that you'll have to do it again.
Indiana's General Assembly needs to learn that concept.
Our state is considering becoming a right-to-work state, making it the first one since Oklahoma in 2001 to end coerced unionism.
There are currently 22 right-to-work states. Most of the remaining states require workers at a place of employment to join a union and pay their dues if 51 percent of the workers at that place of employment vote to have a union. The other possible 49 percent of workers who don't want a union must still pay hefty union dues each month to bosses who spend much of that money supporting leftist political agendas like Barack Obama's.
By BRIAN GRAY, Guest Columnist
David Hammond's guest column (Dec. 26) citing just one source as to whether or not a right-to-work state does better then a non-right-to-work state in providing better wages and better work conditions is a bit misleading.
If one looks at Chiefexecutive.net, a business-based Web site, Indiana is ranked No. 6 for attracting new business.
Now to be fair, some right-to-work states are ranked above Indiana in that survey, but a lot of them are ranked below us.

Just works like a charm.
Really really simple, easy, and does what it says on the box.
Excellent job.
Working perfectly..
Thank you for your plugin, finally a plugin which permits sharing on Viadeo. Very easy to configure, no unnecessary buttons, blah blah or ads !
That plugin does what we need, integrates social buttons and allow customizations, vthx
Holy smokes -- this one appears to be perfect. I'm developing locally and not yet published on the innertubes, but unless something breaks or gets weird when it's in the wild, the design and implementation is flawless. I will gratefully donate as soon as I publish it in production and validate that it really is as good as it appears to be.
Update: Works nicely in production, too, though the Facebook linkage wants to pull an irrelevant image and I can't any way to change this...
It's by far the best looking plugin for sharing.
Now it's a tough choice between using javascript and adding count but still, it's awesome.
One thing I miss though is a tumblr button.
And perhaps the option to specify buttons size because on some layouts even 5 buttons are going in two rows.
Non the less awesome sharing plug in
i love it. Thanks
I really love the fact that Facebook "Share" rather than "Like" is offered - and in a new browser tab, with no JS running on the main page. Still the retro-Buttons have a sweet rollover effect, so the user feels no lack of interactivity. One problem: The tooltips are in english and not configurable )-:
Plays nicely with my theme. Waiting for future features (e.g. counter)

Corporate Advocacy Program™
We filed the following complaint with the BBB of Dallas, Texas against Fortress Security of Arlington, Texas on May 6, 2006. These are the answers to the questions on the BBB site:
#1: Describe the Complaint:
I have been trying to cancel a contract with Monitronics, International which offers security monitoring services. I have found over 75 complaints filed against Monitronics on the web and at least two separate web pages that show Fortress Security could be just ANOTHER NAME used for Monitronics. The first one is the BBB report page, Fortress Security's web site is listed as www.monitronics.com. AND on MSN Careers (http://jobs.msn.careerbuilder.com) indicates that Fortress Security is hiring a Technician but Monitronics comes up as the actual employer. Since I anticipate a LONG and UNFAIR battle with Monitronics over canceling my contract I must complain about Fortress Security being a member of your Better Business Bureau.
Thank you for letting me ask about this.
(a friend helps me
with these types of issues,
her name is Janice)
Monitronics contract involves Renee's home located at: 1245 West 750 North, St. George, Utah 84770
#2: Please describe the settlement you are seeking from the business:
Written agreement that the contact with Renee, 1245 West 750 North, St. George, Utah 84770 is canceled and that Renee has paid in full. The monitoring has not worked for over a year and Renee hired a different monitoring company about a month ago. Renee paid the monthly premiums for MANY MONTHS (more than twelve) when the system did not even work. NO REFUND IS EXPECTED. Just a letter of cancelation back dated or showing paid in full.
(Renee has a friend help her with these type of issues, her name is Janice)
. . . . __end of report to the BBB of Dallas, TX___ . . . .
Janice is assisting Renee to get her contract canceled with Monitronics. Renee is a disabled senior citizen and she is being taken advantage of by Monitronics!!!!!
Thanks for letting us share this information.

In a previous article I outlined three basic types of dividend growth stocks. One group of stocks included companies which are rapidly growing earnings through expansion. This could be through organic growth, acquisitions or through a combination of both. Most of these enterprises tend to reinvest a large portion of their earnings back into the business, which helps them to further generate higher profits. As a result, these companies tend to yield less than the average yield for S&P 500. In addition to that, because of their strong earnings growth, investors typically bid up these shares and they trade at rich valuations.
During recession however, investors start discounting future growth and indiscriminately start selling stocks off. This typically is the best time to purchase quality dividend growth stocks at attractive valuations. The tricky part is determining whether the long-term growth picture for the company is still intact. If investors manage to purchase these shares at attractive valuations, they stand a strong chance of generating market beating total returns as well as double or even triple digit yields on cost.
For example, investors who purchased $1,000 worth of shares of Wal-Mart Stores (WMT) at the end of 1984, and spent distributions each quarter, would be generating $1,321/year in dividends. By the end of 1984, Wal-Mart Stores had managed to boost dividends for ten consecutive years.
The companies on my wish list include:
Casey's General Stores, Inc. (CASY), together with its subsidiaries, operates convenience stores under the Casey's General Store, HandiMart, and Just Diesel names in 11 Midwestern states, primarily Iowa, Missouri, and Illinois. The company has raised dividends for 13 years in a row. Over the past decade, it has managed to boost distributions by 20.20%/year. Earnings per share are expected to grow by 11.50%/year over the next five years. The company trades at 18.30 times earnings and yields 1.20%. (analysis)
Family Dollar Stores, Inc. (FDO) operates a chain of self-service retail discount stores primarily for low and middle income consumers in the United States. The company has raised dividends for 36 years in a row. Over the past decade, it has managed to boost distributions by 12.70%/year. Earnings per share are expected to grow by 11%/year over the next five years. The company trades at 15.70 times earnings and yields 1.50%. (analysis)
YUM! Brands, Inc. (YUM), together with its subsidiaries, operates as a quick service restaurant company in the United States and internationally. The company has raised dividends for 9 years in a row. Over the past five years, it has managed to boost distributions by 17.80%/year. Earnings per share are expected to grow by 13.60%/year over the next five years. The company trades at 19.70 times earnings and yields 2%
Visa Inc. (V), a payments technology company, engages in the operation of retail electronic payments network worldwide. The company has raised dividends for 5 years in a row. Earnings per share are expected to grow by 18.30%/year over the next five years. The company trades at 51 times earnings and yields 0.80%.
These companies have shown solid earnings and dividend growth over the past decade. In addition, their earnings prospects for the foreseeable future look bright. This has made shares perennially overvalued, and thus makes it difficult to add to existing positions. If the market were to decline, it could probably bring these companies down to my value territory. If any of these companies stumbles in the short-term however, their stock prices could also fall to value territory. However, if any of these companies manages to raise dividends while the stock price remains flat or declines, they would be in buy territory for me. Buy territory would occur when stocks yields above 2.50% and trade at less than 20 times earnings.

Brendan Dolan crashes out of World Championship
Updated: Sunday, 22 Dec 2013 19:56 | Comments
Brendan Dolan crashed out of the PDC World Championship after suffering a second-round 4-1 defeat against Gary Anderson on Sunday.
Dolan, the 15th seed, had a poor start and the Fermanagh man soon found himself three sets down against the Scot at London's Alexandra Palace.
Dolan took the fourth set to stay alive but 2011 finalist Anderson wrapped up victory in the fifth set.
Defeat meant it was the fourth time Dolan had exited the finals at the second round stage, after similar departures in 2010, 2011 and 2013.

Debby Barnes Awarded GAHHS Employee of the Month for July
July 20, 2012
Debby Barnes has been awarded the Gibson Area Hospital & Health Services (GAHHS) July Employee of the Month.
Debby, originally from Hammond, Indiana, moved to Loda in 1980. For the past five years Debby has been a part of the GAHHS family as a Laundry Aide. Debby said she enjoys working at GAH because it is one cohesive group and not a bunch of separate department.
"Each and every employee throughout the hospital and the clinics work diligently to provide the very best care and services possible for every patient," said Debbi. "My co-workers are not just within my department, but extend throughout GAHHS. We are all co-workers, unified with the same goal to achieve. It's a privilege to be part of the GAHHS staff and to work with such caring, professional individuals."
In her free time Debby enjoys crocheting and painting with acrylics. She and her husband, Bruno, of 41 years have three children: Joe, 38, Dixie, 36, and Rocky, 35. They have also been blessed with eight grandchildren ranging in age for 19 years to 4 months old.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
After I called the number listed with the charge, they insulted my intelligence for not reading the Terms...WHAT TERMS? The website does not direct consumers to read the terms prior to purchase. If they did, no one would fall for this scam!!!
I did realize my information had been sold to third parties from the emails I received the day I placed my order. The email from Fit Factory offered information to cancel. I cancelled at the first possible moment. The email from pricelimbo.com did not offer anything but "Congratulations for joining us!" which I thought was extremely weird considering I had never heard of the company.
Once I received the charge for $89.31 from Extreme Acai Berries, I did some research. Many people have been scammed by these companies (all one?) and had contact information to share. Pricelimbo can be cancelled once you log in to your account they set up for you. You must go into your account details and choose cancel. I was able to cancel that way after being charged $8.51.
So, I was able to cancel my account with Extreme Acai Berries and receive a confirmation number. To protect myself, I also cancelled my check card and filed fraud affidavits for each UNAUTHORIZED charge.
Funny how I never received the "trial" bottle prior to getting charged. I received them a week later - shipping date on the package is the day after I called. I also received the bottle they charged me for a few days after. The shipping date on that package was 3 days after I called.
Deception = fraud.
This company does all it can to deceive consumers from not directing you to the Terms, to putting the link to the terms in fine print at the bottom of the long web page.
I also ordered Total Cleanse to complete my diet package. They also had terms which consumers are not directed to read prior to purchase. This bottle was sent to me within a week of purchase. I was never charged the fee their terms state you will be charged. After the time (atleast 40 hours of phone conversations, emails, live chats, and stressing out) spent with each scammer, my bank, and fraud specialists, I sum it up to karma that I wasn't charged by Total Cleanse.
This company needs to be dismembered and each employee should be behind bars. How dare they believe it is okay to deceive and steal!

A few days later we received an email containing discount rates and fees. The email also stated that the only thing missing to get the merchant account open was the processing fee of $995.00 which should be wired to National Payment Systems, Corp. The funds were wired the following day and receipt was also confirmed with Mr. Mike Fisher.
After a week of waiting for Mr. Fisher's response, we began to call and leave messages as well as followed up with emails yet we did not receive a response. This went on for several weeks so we decided to contact the Better Business Bureau and finally they were able to get Mr. Fisher to respond.
When he responded, he went on to say that the reason why the account was not opened was due to missing documentation. We sent him all the documents he requested the following day and he responded with an email that he had received everything and that the account would be opened "tentatively" by the third week of August.
It is now November and we still have not heard from Mr. Fisher nor anyone else from npsglobal.com (if there is even any other employees). We have sent him several emails and still get no response.
To anyone out there looking for a merchant account save yourselves $1000.00 and do NOT do business with these crooks.
National Payment Systems, Corp. (npsglobal.com) has a PO Box registered in Dublin, OH., but their physical address is nowhere to be found. I wonder why?

When books are published by a small number of very large book publishers, but thousands of smaller book publishers exist in Key West.Many small and medium-sized book publishers specialize in a specific area. The publisher takes responsibility for the publication in a way that a mere printer or a shopkeeper does not.
In Key West thousands of authors have created their own publishing companies, and self-published their own works. The book publishing industry, the publisher of record for a book is the entity in whose name the book's ISBN is registered. The publisher of record may or may not be the actual publisher. The book, whilst nominally published, is almost impossible to obtain through normal channels such as bookshops, often cannot be special-ordered and will have a notable lack of support from its publisher, including refusals to reprint the title.

U.N. Compound Attacked in Afghanistan
KABUL—Taliban fighters dressed in police uniforms and women's clothing stormed a United Nations compound in western Afghanistan Saturday, killing three security guards but failing to kill or injure any aid workers, Afghan officials said.
The attack started around noon when an insurgent in a car packed with explosives blew open the front gate of the U.N. compound in Herat province, allowing at least three other fighters wearing suicide vests and armed with guns to enter the compound, according to the ministry of interior and provincial officials.
Afghan police surrounded the U.N. compound, entered the building and fought insurgents inside before killing the fighters, said Naqib Arwin, the spokesman for the governor of Herat. No U.N. staff were killed or injured, according to Kieran Dwyer, the chief spokesman for the U.N. in Kabul.
The Taliban took responsibility for the attack, claiming its fighters killed 30 U.N. employees and policemen and wounded scores more. The Taliban tend to exaggerate the damage their attacks inflict.
Taliban spokesman Qari Yusuf Ahmadi said the attack was launched because the U.N. "is supporting the occupation of Afghanistan by invaders, and trying to legitimize the presence of U.S.-led invaders." He also said the Taliban wanted to punish the U.N. for a recent report that blamed the insurgents for the bulk of civilian casualties in the conflict.
The Taliban attacked a U.N. guesthouse in Kabul a year ago, killing international employees helping prepare Afghan elections. The U.N. compound in Herat, near a coalition base at the city's airport, also came under Taliban rocket fire last year.
U.S.-led coalition troops dispatched helicopters to monitor Saturday's attack but didn't send any ground forces, said U.S. Army Capt. Ryan Donald, a NATO spokesman.
Several explosions rocked the compound Saturday afternoon and the streets were littered with shattered glass, said Dawood Taban, the 31-year-old owner of a hotel nearby.
The attack came days after the Italian government, whose troops are responsible for Herat province, suggested that the province is secure enough to transfer responsibility for it to Afghan security forces next year.
Also on Saturday, Joao Silva, a 44-year-old New York Times photographer, was seriously wounded when he stepped on an explosive device while accompanying U.S. troops on patrol in the Arghandab district of southern Kandahar province, the newspaper said.
In a separate incident Saturday, a coalition soldier was killed following an insurgent attack in the south, according to a NATO statement, which didn't provide the nationality of the soldier.
So far this year, at least 597 international troops have been killed in Afghanistan according to icasualties.org, surpassing last year's total of 521 fatalities, itself a record in the nine-year war.

Before Michael Jordan retired for the first time, no one else dared wear his sneakers. Considering this was a guy who could twist nearly anything into motivation, there wasn't any need to provoke him so overtly. But once he walked away to give baseball a try, the Jumpman appeared on other NBA feet. In the '94 ASG, three guys - Mitch Richmond, Latrell Sprewell and OG Baby Bull BJ Armstrong - thought they could fill MJ's shoes. Meanwhile, Scottie Pippen won MVP. But we'll get to that.

Neutron transmutation doped far-infrared laser96(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1753659View Description Hide Description
A far-infrared p-type germanium laser with active crystal prepared from ultra pure single-crystalGe by neutron transmutation doping (NTD) is demonstrated. Calculations show that the high uniformity of Ga acceptor distribution achieved by NTD significantly improves average gain. The stronger ionized impurity scattering due to high compensation in NTD Ge is shown to have insignificant negative impact on the gain at the moderate doping concentrations sufficient for laser operation. Experimentally, this first NTD laser is found to have lower current-density lasing threshold than the best of a number of melt-doped laser crystals studied for comparison.
Practical and theoretical modal analysis of photonic crystal waveguides96(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1737809View Description Hide Description
We present practical and theoretical, stage-by-stage analysis of light propagation around a 90° corner in a two-dimensional photonic crystal waveguide. Using a series of different samples we quantify the coupling efficiency between the conventional ridge waveguide and the photonic crystal waveguide as well as the bending efficiency around the 90° corner. From this, the transmission spectra indicate nearly 90% bending efficiency. We compare the experimental results to the three-dimensional simulated band diagram and field distribution. The propagating defect modes are identified in detail and we show that efficient transmission around sharp bends in photonic crystal waveguides can be achieved for leaky modes above the light line with short photonic crystal sections.
Optimization of transmission properties of two-dimensional photonic crystal channel waveguide bends through local lattice deformation96(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1753084View Description Hide Description
We present an extended study of different topologies for lattice-deformed two-dimensional single line-defect (W1) photonic crystalchannel waveguide bends and their effect on the optimization of the bend transmission properties. An enhancement of the spectral response by a factor of six was obtained, with the optimal design providing transmission greater than 95% over a 5.2% relative bandwidth. Experimental results for devices realized in semiconductorepitaxial structure show a transmission efficiency of 95%.
Temperature effect on liquid crystal refractive indices96(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1757034View Description Hide Description
A model describing the temperature effect of liquid crystal(LC)refractive indices is derived and confirmed by experiment. Two single LC compounds (5CB, 5PCH) and two mixtures (MLC-6241-000 and UCF-35) with different birefringence values were used to validate the model. This model fits all the experimental data well. For a low-birefringence LC mixture, if the operating temperature is far below its clearing point, the temperature-dependent refractive indices can be approximated as a parabolic form. This prediction is also experimentally validated. In addition, a linear relationship between and temperature is found.
Frequency-domain "single-shot" ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy using chirped laser pulses96(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1711178View Description Hide Description
Single-shot ultrafast transient absorbance spectroscopy based on the frequency encoding of kinetics is demonstrated. The kinetics are sampled in the frequency domain using linearly chirped, amplified 33 fs pulses derived from a Ti:sapphire laser. A variable length grating pair compressor is used to achieve sampling of 512 channels with a 2–160 ps window with In terms of the acquisition time, frequency-domain "single-shot" (FDSS) spectroscopy has an advantage over pump–probe spectroscopy when "noise" is dominated by variations in the amplitude of the signal due to pump and flow instability. Unlike some other single-shot techniques, FDSS can be used for fluid samples flowing in a high-speed jet and for thin solid samples that exhibit interference fringes. Another advantage is that, due to interference of quasimonochromatic components of the chirped probe pulse, an oscillation pattern near the origin of the FDSS kinetics emerges. This pattern is unique and can be used to determine the complex dielectric function of photogenerated species. The advantages of FDSS are illustrated with the kinetics obtained in multiphoton ionization of aqueous iodide and one-photon excitation of polycrystalline ZnSe.
Numerical and experimental investigation on self-terminating and recombination lasers in univalent ions of calcium and strontium96(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1759793View Description Hide Description
A concise computermodel has been developed to simulate the plasma kinetics of the self-terminating and recombination lasers in single strontium ions excited by longitudinal pulsed discharge. The results predicted by the model indicate that the univalent ions of calcium and strontium are the ideal lasing substances both for self-terminating laser and recombination laser. With the improvement of the discharge circuit, the structure of the laser cavity, and the discharge tube, the alternate oscillations of the two class lasers were successively realized by longitudinal pulsed discharge in mixture vapors of helium and single strontium or calcium ions. The dependence of laser performance on working parameters, together with the characteristics of the photoelectric pulse waveforms, were measured and analyzed.
Modeling bilayer polymer/fullerene photovoltaic devices96(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1759786View Description Hide Description
We investigate the transport properties of organic photovoltaicdevices formed by a heterojunction of a semiconducting polymer poly and the fullerene Under monochromatic light of different wavelengths we measure the current-voltage characteristic of diodes with variable thickness of the layer. We propose an analytical model assuming that; (i) holes are created in the polymer by charge carrier generation at the heterojunction; and (ii) the layer behaves like a photoconductor under illumination. By using the electrical conductivity of the layer as fitting parameter we reproduce quite well the experimental data, including the curves and the changes of the open-circuit voltage with the variation of the layer thickness. We show that the values of the conductivity are closely related to the fullerene optical absorption coefficient, implying a large contribution of the film to the diode photocurrent.
Sb surfactant effect on GaInAs/GaAs highly strained quantum well lasers emitting at 1200 nm range grown by molecular beam epitaxy96(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1760841View Description Hide Description
A surfactant effect of antimony(Sb) on highly strained GaInAs quantum wells(QWs) was studied by molecular beam epitaxy. Noticeable improvement of the photoluminescence (PL) was observed by adding the dilute Sb. The QWs showed an increased PL intensity and narrow linewidth of 23 meV for the wavelength range up to 1180 nm. An atomic force microscope study showed a flattened surface morphology by the introduction of the Sb. Broad-area lasers with a GaInAsSb/GaAs double-QW active layer emitting at 1170 nm showed a low threshold current density of 125 per well for an infinite cavity length.

Picture: Noel Gallagher, Liam Gallagher, Andy Bell and Gem Archer Studio photo shoot with Oasis. Tokyo, Japan - 20.11.05
Oasis star Noel Gallagher has proved a huge hit with Scottish retail staff - he reportedly dished out thirty tickets for a recent gig to ecstatic shopworkers.
The Wonderwall rocker paid a visit to Glasgow, Scotland designer store Cruise ahead of his gig in the city on Wednesday (05Nov08).
And Gallagher was obviously in a generous mood as he gave away a stack of tickets to the sold-out show - which was the final date on the band's current U.K. tour.
A source says, "Noel was so thrilled at getting his bargain, he asked staff how many would like to come to last night's show."
