Strong growth in its more profitable business – helping hospitals and health care providers implement electronic medical records systems – led to a 48 percent surge in Computer Task Group's fourth-quarter earnings, the Buffalo-based information technology company said Tuesday.
The earnings, excluding a one-time gain related to life insurance benefits, matched analyst forecasts, although the company's 7 percent revenue growth was slightly slower than analysts were expecting.
CTG also said that it expects its profits this year to rise by about 22 percent, fueled by a 7 percent increase in revenues, mostly from continued expansion of its electronic medical records work. It also said that it will start paying a dividend of 5 cents per share in April.
"We currently are seeing a tremendous amount of opportunities in our health care business," James R. Boldt, CTG's chairman and CEO, said in a conference call. "We expect our electronic medical records business will continue to grow," mainly because the size and scope of those projects are expanding.
While the electronic medical records projects that CTG has worked on have so far come from hospitals that averaged about 1,200 beds in size, some of the projects the company now is bidding on are from hospitals that are more than four times larger, Boldt said.
"The size of the hospital systems is getting larger, and we expect that to continue," he said. "It isn't going to be so much the number of [proposals growing], but the size that's going to drive our business."
At the same time, Boldt said, the growth in the health care business is being restrained by the difficulty in hiring new workers who have experience with electronic medical records – a qualification that many potential customers are demanding, Boldt said.
"We're being impacted by the shortage of people," he said. "It's not a shortage of opportunities."
If CTG were not restrained by those hiring issues, Boldt estimated that CTG's health care business, which is expected to grow by about 20 percent this year, could grow by as much as 50 percent.
CTG's fourth-quarter profits jumped to $4.9 million, or 29 cents per share, from $3.3 million, or 20 cents per share. More than half of the increase in profits came from a one-time gain of $800,000, or 5 cents per share, from life insurance proceeds that were paid to the company after the death of a former senior executive. Excluding the life insurance gain, CTG's earnings matched analyst forecasts of 24 cents per share.
The company's revenues grew to $107.9 million, from $100.9 million, which was less than the $109 million that analysts were expecting. The company's solutions business, which is more profitable that CTG's staffing operations, increased its revenues by 12 percent, fueled by a 13 percent growth in health care revenues. The solutions business now accounts for 42 percent of CTG's revenues, with health care making up a third of its total sales.
Revenues from CTG's staffing business rose by 3 percent, with sales to IBM, its biggest client, growing by 2 percent. Boldt said concerns by CTG's clients about the condition of the economy are keeping a lid on growth in the staffing business. The company's European revenues, which account for 17 percent of CTG's total sales, grew by 11 percent. CTG said that it expects its profits this year to rise by 22 percent, to between $1.02 and $1.12 per share, compared with 96 cents per share last year. Revenues are expected to grow by 7 percent, to between $450 million and $460 million, up from $424 million last year.
In this quarter, CTG said, it expects profits to rise by about 20 percent, to between 23 cents and 25 cents per share, with revenues growing by roughly 4 percent, to between $107 million and $109 million.

No time to sew
I haven't sewed for over a week (if you don't count replacing the hook and eye on my 70s dress, incidentally managing to stab myself with a seam ripper and get blood on the fabric). Probably won't be sewing much this week either. Starting to wonder if I'll ever get the pleated dress finished! And […]

underlining pleats
I hadn't made any progress on my Burda pleated summer dress for a week because of a streaming cold. I'd got as far as setting up the machine and then cutting the underlining I'd belatedly realised was needed, but hadn't actually sewn a stitch of the dress. So today I made an effort to get […]

Make a Business Plan
1. Evaluate your Needs and Develop a Business Plan
There is no way to eliminate all the risk associated with starting a business; however, you can improve your chances of success with proper planning and preparation. A good starting point is to evaluate your strengths and weaknesses by creating a Business Plan. A business plan is the blueprint or road map for where your business will travel. Your business plan may also serve as a tool for raising capital and is usually a requirement if you plan to apply for a loan or want to attract financial investors.
Below is a list of agencies that can provide a variety of services, resources and workshops to help you develop your business plan:
Ripon Chamber of Commerce
– Offers a wealth of benefits designed to attract and support businesses in the community. Provides services, programs and leadership to promote economic growth and foster a healthy business environment. For more information, call 209-599-7519 or visit www.riponchamber.org
San Joaquin Delta College Small Business Development Center (SBDC)
– Offers new and existing businesses help with financial, marketing, production, organizational and technical issues. Provides up-to-date consulting, training and research assistance in all aspects of business operation, management and start-up. For more information, call 209-943-5089 or visit http://www.delta.edu/.
United States Small Business Administration
– Offers small businesses
a comprehensive and easy to use interactive tool guide intended to serve
as a roadmap for starting a business. Provides numerous electronic links
for additional resources.
Visit their web site at www.sba.gov/smallbusinessplanner/index.html.
2. Check & Clear Zoning Regulations
If your business will be located within the corporate limits of the city, (commercial building, your residence, etc.) contact the City of Ripon Planning Department at 209-599-2108 to determine the zoning designation of your proposed site before finalizing your business location or signing any lease agreements. All businesses must locate in areas zoned to allow that particular business activity. Planning Division staff will help you determine if your business is an eligible use for a specific location and whether any special approvals are necessary.
Be aware that new business ownership or change in building use may require modifications to bring the building up-to-current code.
For additional information regarding Planning Permits and Approvals, contact the Planning Department at 209- 599-2108 or visit the Community Development Application Packets page. Applications can also be picked up at City Hall or mailed upon request.
3. Check & Clear Building Requirements
A Building Permit is needed for all new construction in the City of Ripon. In most cases, a permit is also required for replacement of existing construction, additions and remodeling. Building Permits are how the City of Ripon regulates construction to ensure it is safe for occupancy or use. This is done through the review of plans and periodic inspections to verify compliance with the California Building Code and local regulations. A Building Permit Application must be submitted along with the applicable fees.
For additional information regarding Building Permits, contact the Building Department at 209-599-2151.
4. Determine your Business Structure
When beginning a business, you must decide what form of business entity to establish. The most common forms of business are Sole Proprietorships, General and Limited Partnerships, Corporations, and Limited Liability Companies. Each legal structure offers organizational options which are appropriate for different personal situations and which affect tax and liability issues. We suggest you research each legal structure thoroughly, and consult a tax accountant and/or attorney prior to making your decision.
For additional information, contact the State of California Secretary of State's Business Portal at www.sos.ca.gov/business/business.htm.
5. Register a Fictitious Business Name
Any business name that does not include the last name of all the individuals who own the business or a business name that suggests the existence of additional owners, such as the words "company" or "association", is considered a fictitious business name. In the case of a corporation, a fictitious business name is any name other than the corporate name stated in its articles of incorporation. No fictitious business name may include the words "Corporation", "Inc.", "Incorporation" or "Corp." unless it is a corporation registered with the Secretary of State.
Every person who regularly transacts business in this state for profit under a fictitious business name must file a fictitious business name statement form with the San Joaquin County Recorder's Office. Non-profit corporations or associations or charitable organizations do not need to file. Corporations do not need to file unless doing business under a name other than the corporate name.
For more information, please call the San Joaquin County Recorder's Office at 209-468-3939 or visit www.co.san-joaquin.ca.us/recorder.
6. Pay your Business License Fees
Per Ripon Municipal Code Section 5.04.020, anyone wishing to commence
or carry on any trade, calling, occupation, profession or pursuit, must
first pay the required license fee and obtain a Business License from
the City of Ripon.

Evening wear designer

Couture designer
You may pore over a menu, but have you ever perused your server's outfit? A successful uniform, says designer Byron Lars, "must convey the mood of the restaurant." Comfort must also be among the specialties, adds designer Pamela Dennis, since staffers "walk around a lot." Here, soap stars who model the work clothes, along with fashion mavens, offer their reviews
Modeled by Diego Serrano, Another World
This baseball-theme getup scores a home run with our male judges but strikes out with the women. "It's very cool," concludes Serrano, who'd feel perfectly comfortable wearing the striped shirt and black pants out on the street. "Macho," says Arnold Scaasi approvingly. Byron Lars points out that "the person who wears these clothes is approachable, and that's important in wait staff." But Eileen Fisher thinks the uniform is strictly bush league. "It reminds me of a hot, sweaty day in a baseball park," she says.
Modeled by Lisa LoCicero, The City
Our experts think the Middle Ages outfit for the jousting-theme eatery featured in The Cable Guy is fun but a tad Gothic. "It feels overdone," says Eileen Fisher. Several judges worry that the off-the-shoulder dress and hiked-up skirt wouldn't flatter the average waitress. "You have to have an amazing body to look good," says Pamela Dennis, though she does admire the floral headpiece. Byron Lars feels that the political implications of the outfit are positively feudal. "It would be cooler to see some of the women as knights," he says. But our model takes a more humorous view. "I've always known that I was a wench," says LoCicero, "so this is pretty comfortable for me."
Modeled by Bronson Picket, As the World Turns
This candy-cane uniform gives off the sweet smell of success. Byron Lars calls it "flattering, really modern and graphic." But Pamela Dennis isn't wild about the colors. "Red-and-white stripes aren't soothing," she says. Actor Picket agrees: "I look like I work for a soccer team."
Modeled by Aisha Henderson, As the World Turns
So you thought the restaurant fronted by supermodels Claudia, Elle, Naomi and Christy might feature frumpy fashion? Au contraire! "Cute," says Arnold Scaasi. "Chic," offers Pamela Dennis. "Modern," adds Byron Lars. "I love it!" declares actress Henderson. The iridescent blue-jersey shirt wins megapoints from Eileen Fisher for being "the fashion of the season." And what does the outfit express about the wearer? Suggests Lars:" 'I'm cute and I'm young and I might be famous one day.' "
Modeled by Kevin McClatchy, Another World
This outfit seems so familiar to former bartender McClatchy that, he says, putting it on gave him "the worst flashbacks" of working in a restaurant. But it sends a friendly message to Byron Lars: "Do you want fries with that?" For Pamela Dennis the polo shirt evokes a different image. "The maroon," she says, "reminds me of the inside of a rental car."
Modeled by Dahlia Salem, Another World
With "ruby" in the title, the shirt was a no-brainer. "I love red," says actress Salem. Pamela Dennis agrees with the color choice: "What the waitress is wearing is right for what she has to do." But Eileen Fisher files a minority report. "I'm not big on color being the first thing you see," she explains
Modeled by John Howard, As the World Turns
The Oxford shirt-black pants-pastel tie combo is a classic, say our judges. "I like the simplicity as well as the small apron," says actor Howard, a former model. "It's pulled-together," adds Eileen Fisher. Concurs Byron Lars: "The implication is that there is a dignity to waiting tables."
Modeled by Philip Anthony, The City
This chain's red, white and blue turns its servers into Yankee Doodle dandies. "There's something about the proportions, hat and apron that would make even a nerdy guy look cool," says Byron Lars. Actor Anthony is partial to the blue: "It's like the sky." But Eileen Fisher finds the whole effect "too moderate."
Modeled by Lisa Brenner, Another World
White on! declare the judges. "All white says that we don't get stains in this place," offers Byron Lars. "The pink bow tie gives it a touch of color without distracting from the purity." Eileen Fisher is equally effusive: "It's clean and fresh, more together than most of the other uniforms." But actress Brenner, who quit a brief waitressing gig after she tripped carrying a tray of cappuccino cups, says that she would be concerned about keeping the clothes clean. Imagining herself as a more graceful waitress, Brenner says, "I feel so sweet, like I should be serving cheesecake."
Modeled by Kelley Menighan, As the World
Turns The tag line on the tank top ("Delightfully tacky, yet unrefined") says it all. Yet Hooters' skimpy uniform receives some surprisingly high marks from fashion sophisticates. "I can't help it," says Byron Lars. "I love it. The '70s shorts are reminiscent of Farrah." Pamela Dennis, who appreciates the "bright cheery colors," says that as long as the waitresses look as good as our model, "this outfit is great." But Arnold Scaasi dismisses the clothes as "boring." And actress Menighan expresses a thought common to many: "I just can't believe that women have to work in this."
Modeled by Gina Tognoni, One Life to Live
Houlihan's turned to prepmeister Eddie Bauer to supply its collegiate attire. "I look like I'm ready for sailing," says actress Tognoni. Notes Pamela Dennis: "She's dressed like a customer, which might be the point." But Byron Lars believes, "This outfit says, 'Look at me, I'm a bore.' "
Modeled by Lisa Lawrence, As the World Turns
This chain has spiced up American cuisine, but our judges say it hasn't done a thing for style. "The Taco Bell server should be in a fiery color like yellow," suggests Pamela Dennis." These restaurants should let me design the clothes for women," says a disapproving Scaasi. But former waitress Lawrence insists, "I think this is cute."
Modeled by Greg Wrangler, All My Children
Box office biggies like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sly Stallone, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore own stock in this chain, so it's no surprise that the uniform puts in a blockbuster performance. "These guys are supposed to look like Hollywood types, and they do. The clothes are busy and active, like the decor," says Pamela Dennis, who also notes that the oversize shirt-and-shorts combo would be comfortable for an eight-hour shift. "It's fun," agrees Arnold Scaasi. "Totally cool" is how Greg Wrangler sums up the colorful shirt he's wearing. But Byron Lars is less than starstruck. "I don't love it or hate it," he says. "It looks very touristy. I guess that's right for Planet Hollywood."

(Nevada Appeal Capitol Bureau) - The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has issued a warning for hunters who use dogs to hunt waterfowl to monitor their dogs for a bacterial infection that affects the animals' feet.
The infection known as marsh or swamp foot is caused by bacteria naturally occurring in the water and soil at both the Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge and Carson Lake near Fallon.
The symptoms include painful and swollen paws and legs as well as fever and can occur within a few hours of exposure.
Stillwater manager Nancy Hoffman said most hunting dogs don't get the infection but, for those that do, they can be treated with antibiotics.
She said there have been four cases they know of since Oct. 1 and that the prolonged warm weather conditions are apparently keeping the bacteria active late into the hunting season.

> Hi all,
> My few questions to answer please

> itself if so how
I'm not sure that (homework?) question makes sense.
The ping "algorithm" is extremely simple: send a packet, wait for
answers, print the answers.
Traceroute *typically* sends UDP datagrams rather than ICMP, in order
to avoid problems on some routers that refuse to generate ICMP TTL
errors in response to ICMP Echo messages. The helpful part here will
be that a decent ping implementation needs to listen to raw ICMP
messages, decode them, and print them. That's the same with
I think MS sends ICMP Echo for traceroute, though.
> 2) what is significance of sequence no in ICMP format.
It helps you detect loss and reordering.

That doesn't look like a question. Please clarify.

It may. When the routing protocols detect that R1 is down or that the
path to D1 is down, they'll recompute a path. If there's a path from
R2 to D1, and if that path is now the best available, then that's the
direction the packets should go.
> My questions are) will three way hand shake will take palce again for
> route r2.
No. One happens for the life of the TCP stream.
> Is there any responsibility of Tcp in this situation
TCP doesn't know or care. The transport layer (TCP) expects the
network layer (IP) to get the packets to the destination using the
best available method, or to drop the packets if they can't get there.
How it does that is irrelevant.
The linkage between TCP and IP is slight. If IP gets ICMP errors
back, it'll report those to TCP. TCP typically caches this
information and, if the connect ends up failing, it'll translate the
last ICMP error into an errno for the application. If TCP detects a
loss and retransmits, it'll provide advice to IP that the path to the
destination seems to be sick, and that if IP has an alternate route,
it'd be good to try switching.
> 2) or routing algorithms will take care of this problem.
> 3) which rfc of Tcp will explain this issue.
None, really. RFCs 791 and 793, though, explain the basic IP and TCP
operation and include broad descriptions of this separation of

Argentina organized labour leader again blasts the government
The Argentine organized labour CGT umbrella union leader Hugo Moyano once again blasted the government insisting he doesn't understand the "fine-tuning" metaphor that President Cristina Fernández used to refer to subsidy cuts.
"When those types of phrases pop up the workers are the most affected" said Moyano on Friday referring to the president's speech a day before.
Earlier in the day union boss Moyano shared a lunch with fellow union leaders including newspaper salesmen union leader Oscar Plaini and taxi drivers' union leader Omar Viviani in the CGT headquarters which was open to the Buenos Aires media.
While addressing reporters, Moyano insisted that his union "always represented workers claims. That is our job and every time we have claimed we have had no replies" he added, regarding the increase of the income tax floor, family allowances, debts to medical insurance companies and scholar help, among other issues.
"We will keep on claiming," he added and recalled that he sent a letter to President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and he is expecting a reply in the next few days.
Besides the political differences emerging from the landslide victory of President Cristina Fernandez last October ensuring her re-election which included a minimum number of candidates to Congress in representation of unions, Moyano is challenging the government's suggestion that salary arrangements keep to an 18% roof and the profitability of each manufacturing sector.
On Wednesday President Cristina Fernández said that wage talks will have to take into account "the varying profitability levels of each sector" and announced the creation of a committee which will closely follow collective bargain.
Within an economic framework that appears more complex than previous years, the Argentine government intends to keep wage talks around 18%, while Moyano and fellow union leaders assure that wage hike can not stand below 25%.
"We will follow the supermarket index, the food prices index", said Moyano in reference to the private sector inflation estimates, which are well above the official index from the national stats office, Indec with 9.5% for the 12 months of 2011.
On Friday the letter sent by Moyano to the Argentine president was released revealing some problems that increasingly concern workers such as the updating of family allowance payments; increasing the floor for income tax; non reported workers and others with the insufficient guaranteed by Spanish legislation.
The letter is signed by Hugo Moyano and addressed to Cristina Fernandez on January 31. Moyano also reiterated that he has had virtually no contacts with the Cristina Fernandez government for over four months, "relations are suspended".

Trade unions to G20: Half measures will not fix broken global economy
Brussels, 23 March 2009 (ITUC OnLine): In a worldwide push for action by G20 governments to pull the global economy out of recession and chart a new course for job creation, financial regulation and global governance, trade unions across the world are today delivering a common set of demands to their national governments. The five-point union plan, which includes detailed policy proposals, sets out the actions needed to tackle the crisis and build a fairer and more sustainable world economy for the future.
Foreclosures, recession hit renters hard
Though legislators are currently paying more attention to homeowners, renters are among the most adversely affected by the foreclosure crisis and the recession.
Jobs, justice and climate: what the G20 must do to ensure global economic recovery
As G20 finance ministers gather in the UK today (Friday) to agree the world's response to the economic crisis, the Put People First platform has released a blueprint charting a path out of global recession that places jobs, justice and climate at the centre of global action.

Album Review
This is an exceptionally fine little budget album, a ten-song LP issued in 1966, a time when country music had begun to be pushed outside of the mainstream it had helped to define in the previous decade. More's the pity that a wider public didn't hear this record, which successfully crosses over into other genres at various points. The title track opens the album on a strangely compelling note, its catchy, uptempo hooks running counter to the downbeat lyric. But with the second track, "Lonely Street,"
Don Gibson
takes on the serious tone one expects. He does lighten up a bit more on the ebullient gospel tunes "That Lonesome Valley" and "Satisfied" (the latter closing the LP), while elsewhere he plunges into some fine country blues ("Midnight"), and even a ballad with a beat ("Won't'cha Come Back to Me"). And everywhere on this record there's superb playing, including some hot electric guitar to complement
's acoustic playing, and all to support his fine, subtly understated intonation; and there's some great backup singing as well.
's beautifully expressive voice and approach -- which, at different times, almost crosses into
Elvis Presley
Buddy Holly
territory -- could easily have sustained a record with five more songs on it, and anything on this album could have been a single. But RCA Victor was content to dole out his work as thinly as possible, to make as many long-players as they could -- whatever the logic behind it at the time, it's 22 minutes of pure, golden-voice country-pop that ought to be known by a bigger audience.

Rated 4.4 out of 5�by 10 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5�by Slack Should Have Worked Better I bought a similar product from Subaru direct that I'm still using. I found this one for a few dollars cheaper....the latch was a little different but I have been very happy with the original product I figured I would give it a try. The skewer latch on this product had a serious malfunction during my vacation and I was forced to leave my bike behind when I was a long way from home. I believe the threads became cross-threaded, making it impossible to remove the skewer...and I tried everything. Mind you, it was only ever tightened by hand to begin with. Such a malfunction should never have had a chance of occurring if the product had been designed correctly. I needed a reciprocating saw to cut the thing off of my car. Needless to say, this was a big disappointment. August 9, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Trekman I own two I've had one for over a year and just bought a second. Easily transfers from one roof rack to another with minor adjustments; doesn't matter what shape the cross bar is -- square, round, or aero, it secures tightly. All of my various bikes fit on very securely. July 27, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by CGMarino Good product! Works well with my Highlander As it shows on the product video this product very easy to install. Seems to be made well, though I only have it for a week. Only issues was on my first attempt to secure the bike. I opened the Locking mechanism to far and it became difficult to close with the bike balancing on the roof. I had close the handle back to the beginning and start over. The locking mechanism gave me some trouble but I eventually got to we're it secured the bike. So if you don't overly open the handle it works much easier! Bike was completely secure. On my 8 mile trip to my favorite riding spot. I recommend this unit if you don't want to have to buy a hitch ($$$$$$) and the a hitch rack ($$$$$$$). Happy riding~ August 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by mal363 This product passed the test This product lasted through a south to north cross country trip. No problems, and did not come loose. It stayed secure the entire trip on a 2012 Subaru Forester with factory installed roof rails. August 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by B Nav Works Great with Yakima Whispbar Installed 2 of these on my Subaru Legacy with the whispbar flush S6 roof rack and they fit great. Solid product and holds my bikes well, I've gone on the highway and over bumps (slow speed) without any problems and the bikes were held firmly and did not have much play. I've been very happy with the purchase. May 14, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Dave on the go Yalima bike carrier Well this bike carrier i purchased for my diamond back mt. Bike is a quality made product but i had to modify it in order to feel safe about using it. My front brake caliper assembly sits on the cover plate of the front wheel lock down assembly. I had to exacto knife cut around the plastic for it to sit on the mounting axle correctly. A little over priced but sturdy. Ive only had it on my car for about two weeks now so i cant really tell you how it will hold up yet thats why i gave average rating. May 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by bill4123 very well made I like the excellent warranty but even better I like that I will probably never have to use it in my lifetime. The screws are stainless so I can leave the rack on without worrying about rust. The plastic parts are very strong and the fit of the rack is great on my factory cross bars. I have two on my car and although there is some extra wind noise it isn't too bad and I haven't noticed any gas milage drops while they are instaaled. If you don't want to leave them on your car they are super super super easy to put on and take off. An alternative to prevent theft is to get the Yakima lock because it will prevent theft even if you aren't carrying a bike. September 27, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Charlie A great product and a great value This rack installed easily on our 2005 Outback and has worked great. All we had to do was move one of the Subaru's crossbars. You won't have to take out a second mortgage for this rack either. August 26, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by WaddupMang I would buy this product again and again Used on Toyota Sienna, no issues, good product July 18, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Iron Dad Great bike carrier Easy to install. Works great. Had to move bar on Pathfinder so bike would fit correctly, but no problem installing carrier. November 28, 2011

My name is Michael Barnum and I am a writer for several film and television related periodicals including CLASSIC IMAGES, FILMS OF THE GOLDEN AGE, VIDEO WATCHDOG, FILMFAX and SCARLET: THE FILM MAGAZINE where my interviews with yesteryear Hollywood performers have been frequently featured.
I first became a fan of Indian popular cinema around 2003 after seeing the Shilpa Shetty/Akshay Kumar/Sunil Shetty melodrama DHADKAN. Over time, watching these wonderful Hindi, Punjabi, Tamil, Marathi, Telugu, and Kannada films has become an addiction…but a delightful one from which I hope to never recover!
My love of America (and Japanese, Italian, Mexican, etc.) B-movies began when I was just a child sitting in front of the Tv watching Dialing for Dollars, Chiller Diller Matinee and of course, the late, late show. Roger Corman, Bert I. Gordon, Inoshiro Honda, and Fred F. Sears were the filmmakers I admired most as I sat mesmerized by films with titles like Hercules Unchained, 12 to the Moon, Lure of the Swamp, Godzilla Vs. The Sea Monster and Murder in the Blue Room. I was fortunate to have a father who passed down a love for B westerns and good childhood pals who enjoyed the vintage sci-fi and horror stuff and just as much as I did. As a teenager my interest branched out to silent films and obscurities from various genres, of which I am today still seeking out.

Gov. Bryant, GE Aviation Announce Start of Hiring at Ellisville PlantOctober 11, 2012 In News
ELLISVILLE, Miss.– Gov. Phil Bryant and officials from GE Aviation today announced the company's new 340,000-square-foot composites manufacturing facility in Ellisville, Miss., is nearing completion, and the company will begin the hiring process in November.
GE Aviation expects to employ 250 workers at the plant within the next five years. Employees will be engaged in the production of advanced composite components for aircraft engines and systems.
Hiring will be conducted in waves, with positions for production associates to be posted on Nov. 5 at the WIN Job Center, 2139 Hwy. 15 North, Ste. D, in Laurel, Miss. The company expects to make hires from the November postings beginning in March 2013.
"I am pleased that the new GE Aviation facility in Ellisville is nearing completion," Gov. Bryant said. "GE is an important player in Mississippi's growing aerospace industry. I look forward to the start of the hiring process and the opening of this plant so more Mississippians will have the opportunity to build good careers right here in Ellisville."
GE Aviation, a global leader in jet engine and aircraft systems production, created the Ellisville operation to meet growing demand and even expanded the plant's design from 300,000 square feet to 340,000 square feet prior to construction.
"The completion of our new factory is on schedule," said Rick Wehmer, plant manager for the Ellisville operation. "The support from the state of Mississippi has been fantastic, and we are thrilled to show the governor the great progress we have made. We expect to begin low-rate production at the plant within the next 12 months."
GE Aviation's Ellisville location is the company's second in Mississippi and represents a $56 million company investment with $8 million in assistance provided by the state of Mississippi.
"We're very pleased GE Aviation is taking this opportunity to expand on the success they're having in Mississippi," said Brent Christensen, executive director of the Mississippi Development Authority. "The company has been a valued corporate citizen and partner, and the facility in Ellisville is another testament to GE Aviation's collaboration with our universities and their faith in the Mississippi workforce."
In 2008, GE Aviation opened a composites manufacturing facility in Batesville where the company currently employs 450 workers. The company has collaborated with Mississippi universities for research and development and will also work with Jones County Junior College and the University of Southern Mississippi to conduct employee training for the Ellisville facility.

The Romulus man accused of shooting a 25-year-old Illinois man at a downtown Ann Arbor bar had his probable cause hearing adjourned a second time when he appeared Thursday in the 14A-1 District Court.
Zachary Finneren, 25, made a change in attorneys at the brief hearing. He is now being represented by Dan Geherin, who made a motion to postpone the preliminary examination three weeks so he could review the case.
Finneren was previously represented by Wright Blake. There was no explanation in court as to why the switch was made.
Assistant Washtenaw County Prosecutor John Vella had no objections and Judge Elizabeth Pollard Hines scheduled the exam for Dec. 5.
There were no arguments about bail. Finneren remains in custody on a $250,000 cash bond, an amount set by a judge after the accused shooter posted a previously set $50,000 and was set free.
Finneren has been back in jail since Nov. 7, when his preliminary examination was adjourned. His appearance Thursday was brief and he didn't have a chance to speak. Tearful family members of Finneren were in the courtroom and spoke to Geherin in the hallway afterward.
Finneren, a University of Michigan Dearborn graduate, works as a security guard and is a reservist first lieutenant in the Army. He held a concealed pistol license that has since been surrendered.
There was no sign in the courtroom of Marty LaBelle, the 25-year-old Illinois man Finneren is accused of shooting in the abdomen at a downtown Ann Arbor bar Oct. 27.
Police say Finneren shot LaBelle just before 12:44 a.m. at Rush Street, 314 S. Main St., after LaBelle intervened in a dispute on the dance floor. LaBelle's father, Daniel, told The Ann Arbor News that his son said Finneren was "creeping" on women in his Marty's group.
After multiple requests to go away, Finneren reportedly pushed one man in the group before LaBelle got in between them.
The fight escalated until Finneren allegedly pulled a gun out of his pocket and fired one shot that struck LaBelle in the abdomen, according to LaBelle's father.
Finneren faces charges of assault with intent to murder; assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder; assault with a dangerous weapon; assaulting, resisting or obstructing a police officer; possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and discharging a firearm in or at a building.

Body to Body (shop)

Last week, The Body Shop ran a blogger event in their Grafton St store; we came in our droves (well, not droves, per se, but there were a few of us) and we quaffed champagne while taking a look at the new make-up range from The Body Shop, presented by Karim Sattar, make-up artist extraordinare.
The new collection is called Nomadic Goddess, based on the colours of the earth with a shimmery, summery look. When I was younger I had an aunt who lived in the UK, and her Body Shop bounty was always the highlight of my Christmas. Since I grew up, however, I've kind of moved away from the Body Shop (except for the body butters, which are oh-so amazing) and towards higher end brands, but having my make-up done by Karim definitely gave me pause for thought.
The point of this image, despite initial impressions, isn't to show you how unphotogenic I am – but to highlight my eyes which, yes, I am slightly obscuring. Karim started with eyeliner, which he smudged (using the clever smudger) all over my lid, before layering with the bronze shade from the eyeshadow palette.
There were loads of great ideas – using eyeshadows wet, which I know is not revolutionary but I rarely do it, and bending your mascara wand when you take it out of the tube, so that your wand is parallel to your eyelashes when you apply your mascara. I've been doing this ever since, and the difference is incredible – it allows you to get to those tiny little lashes on the very inner and outer corners of your eyes, and also minimises that horrible mascara smudge on your eyelid, which I always seem to get.
There's also this new mascara, big and curvy (the name doth offend me only slightly), which is a great little mascara and definitely going to be in contention as a replacement for my current Sephora beauty.
The verdict? I want almost everything – and the smell of their new lemon range doesn't hurt, either. (Did you know, incidentally, while I'm doing my I heart the Body Shop spiel, that if you bring back five empty body butter tubs, you get a new one free? This hurts me, as two of mine are currently languishing in some recycling plant in Dublin. Sob.)

Back Again: $799 Refurbished iMac Returns
It's ba-ack and so is a $979 configuration, as well. To say that I'm "pleased as punch" with my "new" iMac is a bit of an understatement — a quad-core bit cruncher chained to a serious GPU with 512MB and 8GB RAM. Yeah, it's a rather spunky all-in-one and the $799 price for a refurbished iMac of this quality is exceptional.
• iMac 21.5-inch 2.5GHz Quad-Core i5, $799 (1199)
— 4GB, 500GB, SuperDrive, Radeon HD 6750M w/ 512MB, 720p camera
[11] iMac 21.5-inch 2.7GHz Quad-Core i5, $979 (1299)
— 4GB, 1TB, SuperDrive, Radeon HD 6770M w/ 512MB
As always with an Apple Certified Factory Refurbished iMac, or any refurbished Mac, you get a full + extendible AppleCare warranty and free shipping. Yes, it's totally OS X Mavericks ready.
Since the day I bought mine back in late September, these configurations have appeared only a few times and disappeared very, very quickly — if you want one, too, act now. Seriously, they're pretty good deals…

The best way to bring Russian Premier Vladimir Putin under control from his current agressive direction is:
Who gives a rats as s about a spelling error there are hundreds printed daily in the sungazette

ABC News posted a story today.
MOSCOW – Russia's deputy prime minister laughed off President Obama's sanction against him today asking "Comrade @BarackObama" if "some prankster" came up with the list.
It's pretty clear what Russia thinks, and for good reason. Just stay out of this.

The Russians are not about to give up access to their only warm water naval port in Sevastopol. Imagine the United States in a similar situation. This is also probably about energy resources and the transportation of it through Ukraine.
On energy independence...don't make me laugh! People thinking we'll ever be are deluding themselves. The oligarchs are all about globalizing energy resources of every kind. Our own Marcellus Shale Gas will be liquified and exported. The Keystone XL pipeline is for Canadian resources exportation. Wake up people! It was never about "energy independence", that was only a political marketing slogan.

Considering Norway is the worlds largest producer of natural gas, as second in exporting: couldn't Europe rely on them for gas instead of Russia? I know people thinks it's none of our business, but I believe Ukraine has the right to be free of Russia.

S-G will listen to Obama and advocate the opposite. By the way, aggressive has two g's so maybe focus on spelling errors before discussing ways to punish Putin?

This is one more reason this nation needs to become energy independent. Russia is using their natural gas to put a stranglehold on weaker nations. Monitor from a distance and commit no resources. This is NOT our fight.

Why on earth would we want to get into an armed conflict with Russia? For God's sake we are still messing around with 3rd century militia in the Taliban and the rest of the nuts in Afghanistan. Got our butts kicked in Somalia by dancing around and not being 100% committed. Stay out and let them figure it out.

An economic boycott and economic sanctions wouldn't work since Europe is dependant on Russian natural gas. All Russia would have to do is turn off the supply to Europe.

NFL Week 7 Blog by Lenny Del Genio10/22/2010
Pittsburgh (-3) at Miami (40.5): The Dolphins are an unusual 3-0 SU/ATS on the road, but 0-2 SU/ATS at home this season. Going back to last year, they have lost four in a row SU and ATS at home. The Steelers are 4-0 SU/3-1 ATS the last four meetings with Miami, including a 30-24 win last year that featured three interceptions. Pittsburgh has won and covered both road games thus far.
Cincinnati (42.5) at Atlanta (-3.5): The Bengals are much more comfortable in the role of underdog, posting a 10-3 ATS record while winning nine of those games outright. However, the Falcons are a perfect 6-0 ATS when coming off a double-digit loss.
Philadelphia (42.5) at Tennessee (-3): The Titans have absolutely dominated the NFC foes, covering 35 of 50 games and winning 11 in a row SU. They are also on a 17-5 ATS run when laying three or less at home.
Cleveland (43.5) at New Orleans (-13): Something has to give here as the Saints are just 1-9 ATS when laying double digits, but 9-0 ATS vs. AFC teams. Cleveland has gone Under 10 straight times vs. NFC South foes.
Buffalo (40) at Baltimore (-13): The underdog is on a 5-0 ATS run in Ravens pre-bye week games. However, Baltimore typically cleans up against teams with a losing record, going 9-1 ATS the last two seasons.
St. Louis (38) at Tampa Bay (-3): Rams have been outscored 128-37 in their last four road games while the Bucs are 2-9 SU/ATS their last 11 home games.
Oakland (41) at Denver (-8.5): The Raiders have covered four straight times in Denver, including pulling off the upset win each of the last two years.
Minnesota (44.5) at Green Bay (-3): Packers have lost four in a row ATS. They are also 5-1 Under this season. Minnesota swept last year and each of the last four meetings have gone Over.

Winter is a time of the departing sun, and of the reigning stars and moon. These visual references are deeply intertwined in the Christmas story, with Christ himself a symbolic "Light of Gold" (in Whitacre's Lux aurumque) and his mother Mary as the "Bright Star of the Sea" (in Grieg's Ave maris stella). The three wise men, guided by a star, are heard in Mendelssohn's unfinished oratorio, Christus. This concert's major work is Morten Lauridsen's Mid-Winter Songs, with its virtuosic piano part played by Ingrid Verhulsdonk.

Texas Filibuster Crowd Credited, Cursed for SB 5 Defeat
As Gov. Rick Perry on Wednesday called for a second special session on abortion restrictions, the drama of Tuesday night's explosive fight in the Texas Senate continued to reverberate.

The Texas Tribune is pleased to provide the opportunity for you to share your observations about this story. We encourage lively debate on the issues of the day, but we ask that you refrain from using profanity or other offensive speech, engaging in personal attacks or name-calling, posting advertising, or wandering away from the topic at hand. To comment, you must be a registered user of the Tribune, and your real name will be displayed. Thanks for taking time to offer your thoughts.
Angela An
Thank you, Texas Tribune, for your work on this story. I lived in Texas for fifteen years and watched the Karl Rove-driven takeover of the government during my time there. I was young and naive then and didn't think things could sink so impossibly low. After all, Texas was a place where a handshake counted for something, where people seemed to stay out of others' business, and where women like Molly Ivins and Governor Ann Richards spoke their minds with alacrity. I discovered my freedom as a young adult in Texas, and I treasured that freedom.
Senator Davis, you have warmed my heart and inspired me with your courage and humility. You are a true public servant. Thank you--and to your supporters--for giving me a reason not to be embarrassed for loving Texas, for being the daughter of a Texas-born man.
To the heartless, small-minded, hate-filled people who have long held majority control of Texas--its vast lands, its immense resources--you have made a bald mockery of democracy. Thanks to the Internet's immediacy and to people brave enough to stand against you, perhaps your insulated, underscrutinized abuses of power will continue to be witnessed beyond the state's borders. May you be held accountable for gulling the God-fearing into voting for you, when your motivation is anything but Christian and grows from your greed and egoism alone. Shame on you.
sandra hibbert
Thank you, Texas Tribune, for making this video available. It made me proud to see it!
And thank Rachel Maddow for letting everyone know about you and your coverage of the most beautiful scene I've had the pleasure of seeing since I moved here in 1999. I believe in equality.
Donna Campbell should live in infamy as the Senator who repeatedly lied about the need for clinic licensing and then called the "third strike" on Davis. Her moral repugnance will be noted by voters in her district come 2014.
Jaxon Heath
The sad thing is that people outside of Texas are laughing at us...because of the behavior of both sides. Apparently, our behavior has gone viral with Republicans ram-rodding through the shutdown of Senator Davis and with the disrespectful and uncouth behavior of the gallery. No matter how one feels about abortion, all of us must behave better.
Angela An
Jaxon Heath, your are incorrect. People outside Texas--I am one, and know many, and am aware of their statements--view Senator Davis and the demonstration in the capitol as a surprising and heroic manifestation of the people's voice in a supposed democracy. They didn't expect it to happen in Texas, though. How do outsiders view Texas? Mostly in stereotypes, unless they have spent significant time there. And the stereotypes aren't flattering, and this series of events sheds light on what real Texas women and men can be like. It also exposes some of the ugliness that Texas, in its geographic and therefore cultural isolation, has been harboring.
So where are the people laughing? It's not a joke. Right-wing religious zealots laughing over the scuttling of the bill?--come on, that's a crowd with all the levity of a bout of kidney stones. And I don't know any non-zealots who find the threat to women's rights amusing. What I have seen are some sourpusses grumbling and making irrational comments that imply the people should have no voice. And I have seen some rational humans cheering the people on.
Mack Green
I too lament the regression of Texas politics to the 1950's era in the Deep South. Texas now is the old Mississippi where brown is the new black. Where moral prejudice hides behind pulpits and "Queers!!" and "Baby Killers!!!" are being screamed in the streets. Where hatred is the tool of choice and where intolerance keeps the blades sharp. Where ignorance is being carefully cultivated like fine orchids.
Shall we gather at the river? Bring your white sheet.
Daniel Smith
As soon as the "peanut gallery" became disruptive, the proceedings should have been stopped and rescheduled. They sabotaged the process.
Daniel Smith
So, you prefer anarchy to process.
John Grishan
I couldn't believe the third strike was called for helping her put on a back brace. This is morally repugnant. Discussion on sonogram is not relevant to the discussion! I don't know about you but that's very relevant when its quite clear that this bill would lead to closures of PP clinics. As i said before, these tactics smacks of a waning majority whose hold on the levers of power is declining and that needs to keep divisive issues front and center. Most of the folks that support the GOP in my circle are either too old or intellectually not smart enough to think for themselves. Most of what they believe is what they are fed by rightwing talk radio. I don't think many of them understand the term 'cognitive dissonance'.

Americans can rest easy knowing that there are internet warriors fighting for our rights and taking the government to task.
At this moment there are 1,610 peopleacross the nation calling for the government to hand over the Declaration of Independence to the actor Nicholas Cage.
"Nicolas Cage deserves the Declaration of Independence. He is a National Treasure. Having stolen the Declaration once, he is clearly capable of doing so again, but chooses not to out of the kindness of his heart. He should be rewarded for his work as an actor and a historian by being given the Declaration of Independence," the petition says.
Who knows? They may get the 100,000 signatures needed by April 25, and the Cage might even be a good steward for one of our nation's most revered documents. But I, and the other 10 people that saw Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance are hesitant to support this.
However, there are some petitions on the White House's website that have my full support.
The petition to designate at least one National Park for dinosaur clones has 1,896 signatures of the 100,00 needed before April 7.
"As members of the scientific and great-imagination communities, we have been dismayed by the bipartisan failure to create a National Dinosaur Clone Park," the petition says.
A call for a national R2-D2 Day has only gotten 510 of the 100,000 signatures necessary by April 13 for a response from the White House.
"In the iconic Star Wars saga, R2-D2 always seems to save the day, getting his Jedi masters and the forces of the Republic out of harm's way, and doing so with grace and humor. But the astromech droid never gets the full credit or honors he deserves for his deeds," the petition says.
Why don't we have a dinasaur clone park or a national R2-D2 day? Why is our government so silent on such important issues? As a nation we need to demand answers.
All it takes is one person to stand up and say, "We need a day devoted to a fictional, robotic character," or "We need dinosaur clone technology," and 100,000 others to agree. Then and only then will our government listen to us.

A Winterset chiropractor accused of inappropriately touching women patients has had his license to practice suspended indefinitely.
The Iowa Board of Chiropractic's decision means that Dr. Stuart Hoven cannot apply for reinstatement until he completes a comprehensive assessment regarding sexual misconduct.
The assessment will take place at a behavioral institute in Georgia.
Hoven's license was also suspended in 2005 after an investigation into accusations of inappropriate contact with women patients.

A Yank with the Fancy Name of Brooks-Baker Rescues the Bible of British Peerage from Extinction
Though he legally bestowed his own hyphenated name on himself (he was born just a plain Baker), Harold is in most respects unbending about Debrett's tradition. The only way to rate an entry in Debrett's Peerage and Bar-on-etage—unlike the U.S. Social Register—is to be born a peer, marry a peer, or be a descendant or marry a descendant. "A peer can be in jail, but he is still a peer," says the firm's venerable editor, Patrick Montague-Smith, adding solemnly: "The only thing that can get him out is a bill of attainder for high treason." The pecking order is also immutable. "It's very simple—first come, first served," observes Brooks-Baker. "The people who came to England with William the Conqueror are the bee's knees, whether they were thugs or not."
An Anglophile and royalist, Brooks-Baker believes the U.S. would be more governable if it had kept such an ordered system. "The saddest thing that ever happened," he muses, "is that George Washington didn't accept the crown [proposed at the time by Alexander Hamilton and others]. Being President is too much to ask of one person now," feels Brooks-Baker. "An attractive figurehead would be a good solution, but it would have to be an hereditary figurehead—elected figureheads are not successful." Whether or not the beleaguered U.S. incumbent might half-agree, Brooks-Baker has traced Jimmy Carter's geneology back to the British throne.
Brooks-Baker himself didn't really need the affectation of taking a double-barreled name. His Baker ancestors arrived in the Colonies in the fashionably early 1680s. Some went to Maryland, others helped found Wilton, Conn., and they wound up in the thick of U.S. history including the Teapot Dome scandal. Harold's father was a prominent corporation lawyer in Washington, D.C., and the boy, who contracted polio at 13 (which left him with a slight limp), graduated from Trinity College in Hartford. He dropped out of the University of Virginia law school to become a reporter for two years in Washington, D.C. on the nonprofit, now defunct American Observer. Next he was hired by an investment management corporation in Switzerland. Hobnobbing abroad with the titled paid off; at a party at Cap d'Antibes in 1962 he met his future wife, Irène de Luart, a La Rochefoucauld on her mother's side and related to the Queen of England through both the Tudors and Mary Queen of Scots.
Brooks-Baker still professes to be untitillated by titles: "I look at it from a distance, and I'm not trapped in the nonsense." That whimsical detachment sparked the new Debrett publications on noble foibles. The best-selling first volume, The English Gentleman, by Maj. Douglas Sutherland, informed that this endangered species lives deep in the country, carries his hankerchief in his sleeve, has two suits (one for funerals, one for London) and won't drive a Rolls-Royce unless it is very old and smells of dogs. The English Gentleman's Wife ("All ladies mend their own underwear") and The English Gentleman's Child are out, and one on mistresses is on the way. So is Salt Water Palaces (royal yachts), with a preface written by Lord Louis Mountbatten before his murder at sea by IRA terrorists.
Brooks-Baker is meanwhile doing increasing business in the U.S. with his new Debrett Ancestor Research Service which now employs four full-time geneologists plus a network of 200 part-time researchers in all the countries of Europe (except Albania). For a fee of $285 they will check out 19th-and 20th-century ancestors from four to nine generations. (Back to Adam is on a cost-plus basis.) The service has attracted 1,300 clients including the Rev. Billy Graham.
With Debrett's safely out of financial trouble, Brooks-Baker has increased his staff fivefold to 30. That gives him more time to spend in his carelessly gracious town house in Chelsea with his wife and two daughters. He's now contemplating An International Directory of High Achievers, which he thinks will bring petro-dollars to Debrett's. "The jet set, of course, has no real place," he sniffs. "They won't pass their place on to their children. They're like life peers."

For every volunteer commitment made by registering with an organization, there will be an opportunity to win one $25 dollar gift card. All winners must be present to receive their gift card. Please join us as we make a difference in our community by extending our "Helping Hands". For more information please contact Amie Guidry at (409) 944-1341.
