Funds released for Honoapiilani Highway
Gov. Neil Abercrombie has released $96,000 in capital improvement project funds for infrastructure repairs and upgrades for Honoapiilani Highway and the intersection of Kaanapali Parkway and Halelo Street.
The funds were secured by Maui state Rep. Angus McKelvey last session and released by the governor in a cooperative effort to address critical infrastructure needs in areas of high traffic and to improve safety and efficiency, according to a news release from the state House of Representatives on Wednesday.
"The roadways which will be receiving attention are essential for both visitor and commuter traffic in the Kaanapali area," said McKelvey, whose district includes West Maui, Maalaea and north Kihei. "This funding is necessary not only to improve traffic flow, but most importantly, to ensure the safety of our community at one of the busiest intersections in West Maui."
Napili man indicted in death of co-worker
WAILUKU - A Napili man has been indicted on a charge of manslaughter in the beating death of a co-worker last year.
William Ranep, 38, was being held in lieu of $500,000 bail Thursday pending a bail hearing Tuesday.
During his arraignment Thursday in 2nd Circuit Court, Ranep pleaded not guilty to the charge. His trial was set for April 29.
Police said Ranep was seen pushing 58-year-old Lahaina resident Danny Jose, who fell to the ground near the rear parking lot of Napili Plaza. Jose was on the ground when Ranep repeatedly struck Jose in the head and face and kicked him in the head, witnesses told police.
Police found Jose unresponsive on the ground at about 7 p.m. Nov. 12. He was transported to Maui Memorial Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead the next morning. Police said that both Jose and Ranep had worked for a maintenance company.
Ranep told police that he had been helping Jose, who had been instructed to empty out his office, when Jose picked up a kitchen knife and threatened to kill Ranep.


text: The objective of the DCIDE program is to ensure that promising discoveries that would otherwise languish in developmental limbo are rapidly brought to Phase 1 clinical trial. Judging the success of the program will not be straightforward, since there is no obvious comparison group of discoveries in other programs that is equivalent in all relevant particulars to those approved by the DCIDE program. The following measures seem appropriate, in light of the total cumulative expenditures on the program over the initial three years of evaluation:

Entertainment industry has growing immensely locally and catching up with the international markets. The same has been happening in the technology (especially in entertainment) space. More local developers have with huge interest noticed the trends in the app stores and are taking advantage of it. Entertainment apps make approximately 75% of apps in the stores, with the most downloaded apps being games and music apps.
Locally, this has been the story too, with apps like Ma3Racer having over 1 Million Downloads. Most of these apps are for free, at least for sometime. This kind of revenue model is called freemium model. It is a business model by which a virtual product is provided free of charge, but a premium is charged for advanced features, functionality, or virtual goods. This model is currently taking the virtual market space by storm. It begs the question; is freemium taking over premium model in entertainment?
M:lab East Africa will hold the first Wireless Wednesday on Entertainment on 31st July 2013. The event themed "Is freemium revenue model taking over premium in entertainment" will attract mobile application developers, Ad Networks, Digital Agencies, gamers, animators and cartoonists, creatives, entrepreneurs and other stakeholders in the entertainment industry.
Date: 31st July 2013
Venue: m:lab East Africa Balcony
Time: 12.00Noon - 2.00 pm
Some of the key discussant who will spearhead the discussion will be:

• Double-lumen central venous catheters (CVCs) have been introduced recently for use in pediatric patients. The objective of our study was to determine if double-lumen CVC usage increased the possibility of infectious and mechanical complications compared with that of traditional single-lumen CVCs in a population at high risk for infection (oncology patients). Thirty pediatric patients (2.5±3.0 years old; mean±SD) who received single-lumen CVCs were compared with 31 patients (5.9±4.7 years old) who received double-lumen CVCs. The incidence of infectious complications was compared while controlling for potential confounding variables. Fifty-seven percent (17/30) of patients in the single-lumen group experienced bacteremia or cellulitis that required removal of six catheters compared with a rate of 52% (16/31) and nine catheter removals In the double-lumen group. Fewer manipulations occurred In the single-lumen group compared with the double-lumen group, but the Incidence of mechanical complications tended to be greater. When managed carefully, double-lumen CVCs were not associated with a greater risk of infection than single-lumen CVCs.

Anger: Wisdom for Cooling the Flames
Artists:Tich Nhat Hanh
Publisher:Riverhead Books
Anger can be one of the most frustrating emotions, carrying us headlong away from ourselves and depositing us into separation and dismay. Vietnamese monk and world teacher Thich Nhat Hanh tackles this most difficult of emotions in Anger. A master at putting complex ideas into simple, colorful packages, Nhat Hanh tells us that, fundamentally, to be angry is to suffer, and that it is our responsibility to alleviate our own suffering. The way to do this is not to fight our emotions or to "let it all out" but to transform ourselves through mindfulness. Emphasizing our basic interdependence, he teaches us how to help others through deep listening and how to water the positive seeds in those around us while starving the negative seeds. Serious though lighthearted, Anger is a handbook not only for transforming anger but for living each moment beautifully. --Brian Bruya, Amazon.com

What Will Become Of Pope Benedict's Twitter After He Resigns?
Category: Society
/ Feb 16, 2013 2:36PM EDT
Pope Benedict's official entrance into the world of social media, via Twitter, caused a media storm. Pope Benedict sent his first tweet after weeks of anticipation reading: "Dear friends, I am pleased to get in touch with you through Twitter. Thank you for your generous response. I bless all of you from my heart." The 85 year old pope sent the tweet with a touch screen tablet in front of thousands at the Vatican in December. Yet the pope did not announce his surprising decision to resign on Twitter. The Pope is likely to send his last tweet on February 28, his final day as pontiff before he leaves the Vatican. The head of the Vatican's communication department hopes the new pope will tweet as well. "During the days after the 28 no tweet will be sent because there is no pope to send a tweet," he said. "And so when the new pope will be elected, we are going to present to him such an opportunity. "I repeat, I think that it is an opportunity. And the opportunity is to talk to the human beings, men and women of today that on many occasions are not facing an easy life," said Archbishop Claudio Maria Celli. One the day the pope announced his resignation, the Vatican's news site was forced to switch from one to four servers, after the number of viewers shot from 14,000 to 190,000, proof that the internet is a useful communication tool for the Vatican. "But at the same time human beings are experiencing solitude, loneliness. In such a moment of desert, of spiritual desert, I think that a 'drop of truth' (a tweet), a drop of spiritual values, I think that they are good and positive for the human being with.. who's really on the road and sometimes on the road of loneliness. News of Benedict's resignation reverberated through Twitter, generating 1.5 million comments in the first 36 hours. Video Source: Reuters

London, UK – September 26, 2013 – Apriso, the leading provider of global manufacturing software solutions, today announced availability of Apriso for Paperless Manufacturing. Built on Apriso's FlexNet, a platform for global manufacturing operations management, this solution lets manufacturers better manage the complexities and details of plant floor operations without paper. With this solution, engineers can better interact with shop floor operations by updating design and manufacturing instruction without the use of bulky paper or paper-based sign off processes. Approvals can now be streamlined through digital representations that are captured and maintained for as long as deemed necessary.
Apriso for Paperless Manufacturing scales from a basic paperless offering – electronic work instructions and reports that enhance intra-plant communications – to a complete, enterprise solution covering paperless processes in production, warehouse, quality, maintenance and labour operations. Manufacturers can now better manage Electronic Work Instructions, Engineering Change Orders, New Product Introductions and Manufacturing Intelligence to drive improved operational performance without paper, while achieving new levels of efficiency, visibility, compliance and traceability.
Manufacturers going paperless with this Apriso solution are achieving the following benefits:

- Quickly find quality-impacted materials at any location, without searching through large volumes of printed reports
- Virtually eliminate the task of trying to find missing or lost orders or travellers
- Instantly and accurately know an order status – regardless of where physically located – without having to walk around the shop floor to check every workstation or traveller/docket
- Extend paperless processes beyond production-based activities to a wider "footprint" of operations processes, which includes the synchronising of material flows and maintenance activities to reduce downtime and improve throughput capacity
- Seamlessly track time and labour activities – ensuring proper costing, auditing and compliance processes

War is hell. Trust me. I should know. I've experienced all the horrors of war secondhand. That's right. I'm a secondhand vet. My dad served in the Vietnam War for a year in 1970 and my family has spent the last 40 years picking up the pieces.
I was born in 1976, three years after the Vietnam War ended, but it still took a big, steaming dump on my life.
For one thing, being a secondhand vet means that I have secondhand PTSD. My dad's flashbacks are from battle. Mine are from him flipping out when someone inadvertently bought a shirt with a 'Made in Vietnam' label.
I think the concept of secondhand PTSD is kind of amazing and quite an endorsement for the North Vietnamese military—sort of like an academic way of stating: "The Viet Cong'll fuck you up so bad your unborn kids will feel it."
And it's true. I was scared shitless all the time growing up—and the worst part of it was that I wasn't sure why. One thing I did know was that everything in the world could be related to Vietnam War in some way. Have you guys ever noticed that? Do you know what I'm talking about? No? You don't?
Fucking draft dodgers.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean that. It's good if you don't know what I'm talking about. That means no one in your family fought in Vietnam. You're psyched.
I, on the other hand, am a secondhand vet—which means I grew up listening to my dad steer every conversation about every imaginable completely unrelated topic back to the Vietnam War. He was kind of like Walter from The Big Lebowski in that sense—except that Walter had friends. My dad didn't have any.
I was probably 5 or 6 years old when I first learned the term 'draft dodger'. Growing up, I thought it was the absolute worst thing in the world that a person could be—that or Jane Fonda.
It wasn't until I was in my late teens that it occurred to me that if I had been alive during the Vietnam War draft, I would have done everything I could to get anyone I knew out of going there. I would have been chartering buses to Saskatchewan and personally flattening people's feet myself.
I don't hate your run of the mill draft dodger so much anymore. I just hate the ones who were mean to my dad—and boy, were they ever.
When my dad came back from Vietnam and changed planes in San Francisco, the person in the seat next to asked to be moved because she didn't want to sit next to a Vietnam Veteran. Can you imagine calling the flight attendant over and saying: 'Change my seat! I'm not sitting next to this veteran!'? All I care about when I'm sitting next to someone on a plane is that they don't smell like onions or try to talk to me.
When my dad got off the plane, there were a couple of "peace loving hippies" at the gate who heckled him and called him a "baby killer" and an "asshole".
I know those guys are still out there somewhere. They're probably part of that group of hippies who turned into corporate yuppies, made a shitload of money, slept great every night and now go to Vietnam on vacation. Sometimes I fantasize about finding them, kidnapping them and forcing them to play Russian Roulette in a bamboo tiger cage in my basement for the rest of their lives—Deerhunter style. It makes me feel a little better, but not really.
Since I was little, I've always wanted revenge—not on the Viet Cong—on the people that fucked him over when he came home. But I had no vigilante justice resources at my disposal growing up. I was just a little girl with a big chip on her shoulder.
"My dad was in Vietnam!" I proudly announced during a junior high school history class on the topic. The teacher nodded disinterestedly and kept monologuing.
"Did he kill a lot of people?"snickered the snotty little shithead who sat next to me in class.
I didn't know. I'd never really thought about it. Did my dad kill people? I knew he was in a war and all, but that didn't sound like him. He lost his temper sometimes, but I couldn't imagine him actually killing anyone. He was a good guy. I thought about the time he saw a turtle flipped over on its back by the side of the road. He brought the car to a screeching halt, got out, turned the turtle back upright and then sent him on his way. My dad was a helper, I thought to myself—not a killer. I decided that it was entirely possible that my dad had spent a year in combat without hurting a fly.
It wasn't the last time I tried to get respect from my classmates for my dad's Vietnam War service though. The kids in junior high school loved to make fun of my lazy eye. One afternoon, I tried to elicit sympathy from one of them by telling him: "My dad was in Vietnam when there was Agent Orange. That's probably what caused my lazy eye."
"No it DIDN'T," he snorted back and then went on to tell me that my parents were abusing me by not getting my eyes fixed.
A shocking and horrifying truth was beginning to unfold. Inside my house, the Vietnam War was the only thing that matter. Outside my house, nobody gave a flying fuck. I was starting to get why my dad was so angry all the time.
Still, it would have been nice if the Vietnam War didn't bleed into absolutely every area of our lives. It would have been nice to have a little down time.
I rented a lot of videos in junior high school because I didn't have any friends, but I wasn't allowed to watch any movies about Vietnam. My father couldn't stand the idea of anyone thinking they knew what it was like to be there from watching it in a movie. He was particularly enraged by the promotions for 'Good Morning Vietnam'.
"There's nothing funny about Vietnam!" he seethed one night when I asked if I could rent it. It started a family argument. Eventually, my mom convinced him to let me watch it. I didn't laugh once. I didn't dare. It was an okay movie I guess, but really not worth it for me ultimately.
Any movie with Jane Fonda in it was obviously out too. Jane Fonda was photographed sitting on an anti-aircraft carrier used to shoot down American soldiers and later accused some returning POWs of exaggerating their torture experiences. No Sylvester Stallone movies-draft dodger. No John Wayne movies-draft dodger.
Limiting your entertainment choices to stuff that features Vietnam Veterans isn't easy. You end up watching a whole lot of Kris Kristofferson movies and Wheel of Fortune. Yes. Pat Sajak is a proud Vietnam Vet, and he'll always have a $5,000 space in my heart.
My dad refused to take us to amusement parks. Ever. Instead we spent our weekends making pilgrimages to 'The Wall'—the Vietnam Veterans' Memorial.
My Dad would make friends with the Vietnam Veterans that camped out there 24/7 and my mom would walk up and down the path and look at all the names of the dead soldiers and weep. It was a lot of fun.
Looking back, I realize an amusement park is probably a combat PTSD sufferer's worst nightmare: wide open spaces, crowds of people, loud noises, screaming and a bunch of rides intended to scare the shit out of you by flipping you upside and sending you flying through the air.
My dad already got to do that for free. He got hit in the head with a rocket propelled grenade and then dove into a ditch to take cover when he was in Vietnam. He told me about it when he was on what I thought was his deathbed about ten years ago. His brain had started leaking spinal fluid when the injury ruptured. It was on Christmas. He survived.
My Dad was always prepared for the absolute worst to happen—maybe too prepared. When I was growing up, if we decided we wanted to go out for a family dinner at Chili's, the first thing my dad had to do was take an inventory of camping and survival supplies in the car. We drove around everywhere we went with a trunk full of canvas tarps, blankets, Army rations, hunting knives, emergency ponchos, canteens and Sterno. We never went camping once.
When we actually got to the restaurant, we were in for another wait—for a table where my dad could sit with his back to the wall and, ideally, have a clear view of the door.
"That way no one can sneak up behind you," he'd always say jokingly—but not really jokingly.
While my sister and I debated the merits of the Awesome Blossom vs. the Loaded Potato Skins appetizers, he was keeping an eye out in case the Viet Cong were planning a raid on Chili's Berwyn, Pennsylvania location.
The actual consumption of meals was also fraught with tension and anxiety. PTSD tends to make a person irritable and impatient, which probably has something to do with the fact that they don't sleep anymore since, in their experience, sleeping can get you killed. Bad waiter service meant there was potential for a public incident. Unless, of course, if the wait staff was Asian. Asian waiters had free reign to give the shittiest service imaginable and always received an extra large tip.
I asked my mother about it once and she explained: "He just feels so bad about what happened to those people over there." An interesting attempt at reparations, Dad. Sort of like trying to make up for slavery by overtipping your waitress at Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles.
When I was 16, my dad had something of a nervous breakdown which resulted in him both cheating on my mom as well as slipping into severe PTSD flashbacks. Interspersed between his exclamations that he was in love with someone else, he told my mother that he hadn't killed enough people in Vietnam. He said that if he had killed more people, maybe things would have turned out differently and that if he ever went into combat again he wasn't coming back.
So that answered that question. He didn't kill "enough" people—which means he killed some.
Now that I've told you that, can I tell you something REALLY disturbing about my Dad's experience in Vietnam. He didn't smoke ANY WEED while he was there. That's what he says and from the way that he says it, I believe him. Can you imagine not only fighting in Vietnam, but NEVER SMOKING POT there? What the FUCK?
Now, I'm a raging pothead. I actually moved to Los Angeles to be closer to pot. I've made it something of a personal mission to make up for all the weed that my dad DIDN'T smoke in 'Nam. I'm pleased to say that I'm making significant progress.
So, I guess there are some things that are funny about Vietnam. And at least we all learned something as a country and we'll never again allow ourselves to be blindly led into a 10 year war with no clear objective or exit strategy. Phew! At least there's that! Peace.

Gloria's Godwriting at the Dead Sea
This is some of the Godwriting that I received at the Dead Sea. I am still waiting for everyone else's:
Gloria to God:
Beloved God, thank You for these beautiful people -- for my brother Santhan, and my sisters Osi and Edna. Thank You for this beautiful day at the Dead Sea. This is truly a gift from You, and I am so grateful. The Dead Sea is in My heart along with You. Tell me the meaning of everything!
God said:
The meaning of everything is love. That is the only meaning.
Thousands of years ago -- millions of years ago, the Dead Sea traveled to this place so that the four of you could meet now and visit with Me. We had a pact to meet, and I thank you for coming. Everything is perfect in this stillness of non-time and non-space.
The Dead Sea represents the Silence that speaks without speaking, the stillness that stirs hearts. The Dead Sea is an expression of My love.
We have met here many times just as We meet every day in the sun. I called for you to meet, and you answered.
And now you say, "Hello, Dead Sea, hello, Jordan." This is how peace is brought to the world.
You four are peace-bringers. You bring Me, and you bring the peace I bequeath to you, the peace you radiate to the world.
Edna is to keep laughing and smiling.
Osi is to continue valuing all her gifts. She has many. She is just beginning to know the fullness of Me that she is.
Santhan is to be the strong mast that he is. He holds up the Heavens, and his inspiration reaches to Me. He breathes Me in and out, and I breathed him into existence.
As for you, Gloria, just keep plugging along with or without understanding. Keep intending Me in your heart. That's all you have to do.

Who was that masked man?
Actually, he wasn't fooling anyone. Because under the carbon-fiber shield he wore to protect his broken nose, LeBron James was the same player, and he scored a ho-hum 31 points as the Miami Heat beat the Knicks, 108-82, in Miami on Thursday night.
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra described the mask as a "menacing look," but James wasn't thrilled about the headgear. He made 13 of 19 shots and scored more than 30 points for his fifth consecutive game. He plans to play with a mask for the next couple weeks, at least, he said.
"As much as I don't like it, I have to figure out how to make it work," James said.
Said teammate Chris Bosh: "He played like Batman."
Maybe it's time for the Knicks to wear masks -- in public. They're 2-10 in February and dealing with injuries, a coach with an uncertain future, the pending free agency of their best player and their point guard's arrest on weapons charges.

Politico's Woodward Warmongering
Blog ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
"Woodward at war," was the headline Politico's Mike Allen and Jim VandeHei attached to their February 27 article playing up Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward's claim that a senior White House official had threatened him over email regarding Woodward's reporting on the origins of the budget sequestration. The Politico report on Woodward's "major-league brushback" caught fire in the press and prompted allegations of White House intimidation. However, the email chain -- which Politico published the following morning -- shows that the claims of threats and intimidation by the White House are, at best, wildly overblown, and that Politico helped hype a bogus allegation by Woodward absent the full context.
The original February 27 Politico piece featured a short clip of Allen and VandeHei's "hourlong interview" with Woodward "around the Georgetown dining room table where so many generations of Washington's powerful have spilled their secrets." In that clip, Woodward reads from an email he received from a top White House official, later revealed to be economic advisor Gene Sperling. As Woodward puts it, Sperling did "something that I think it is important for people to understand. He says, you know, 'I think you will regret staking out that claim,'" referring to Woodward's assertion that the president was "moving the goal posts" in negotiations to avert sequestration.
Allen and VandeHei wrote:
Woodward repeated the last sentence, making clear he saw it as a veiled threat. " 'You'll regret.' Come on," he said. "I think if Obama himself saw the way they're dealing with some of this, he would say, 'Whoa, we don't tell any reporter 'you're going to regret challenging us.'"
"They have to be willing to live in the world where they're challenged," Woodward continued in his calm, instantly recognizable voice. "I've tangled with lots of these people. But suppose there's a young reporter who's only had a couple of years -- or 10 years' -- experience and the White House is sending him an email saying, 'You're going to regret this.' You know, tremble, tremble. I don't think it's the way to operate."
It's not clear whether Allen or VandeHei had access to Woodward's full email exchange with Woodward -- as they put it, Woodward "[dug] into one of his famous folders" to read the offending excerpts to them, meaning that at the very least they had the opportunity to demand to see more from that exchange before publishing Woodward's claims. From all appearances, though, Allen and VandeHei's initial reporting on the email exchange was based solely on what Woodward told them about it. Their "exclusive" follow-up article on the email exchange indicates as much: "POLITICO's 'Behind the Curtain' column last night quoted Bob Woodward as saying that a senior White House official has told him in an email he would 'regret' questioning White House statements on the origins of sequestration."

GLASGOW - A former truss plant once part of the Hommer Lumber Co. property was gutted by flames Wednesday afternoon.
In a blaze that brought fire crews from three counties, responders said they arrived to find the vacant Custom Truss factory - the site's most recent but also closed incarnation - fully engulfed in flames.
Despite swirling winds and other complications, they were able to contain the fire to the former truss plant but the factory itself was a total loss.

Firefighters from several companies in the Glasgow area reposition their hoses to put out hot spots in a fire that destroyed one of the buildings at the former Hommer Lumber yard in Glasgow.
"As soon as I saw it, I knew it was gone," said Charlie McQuown, a property neighbor and former Reade Township fire chief, who said he spotted a plume of smoke from his front door shortly after 12:30 p.m. and reported the fire to 911.
A friend phoned McQuown and said he could see the smoke from Skytop Mountain.
Responders said they arrived minutes later to see the concrete truss factory's roof fully involved.
A ladder truck was used to battle flames while fire crews from Cambria, Blair and Clearfield counties assisted on the ground, Reade Township Assistant Chief Mike Jenkins said.
"The wind was an issue, but there was nothing that could've been done to save it," he said afterward, noting no one was injured.
A utility pole caught fire and collapsed at the site, Jenkins said. Penelec was contacted, and the pole was safely doused.
Crews also were busy working to snuff out a burning pile of debris near the factory, and Jenkins said it may have been the cause of the fire. A state police fire marshal has been asked to investigate.
There was little left at the site, aside from a few sections of concrete walls on either side of the sprawling building and a few skeletons of manufacturing equipment, apparently left behind from the plant's better days.
"This used to be a busy place," said neighbor Jane Miller, recalling days when Hommer Lumber employed many in the area. The company shut its doors about five years ago, she said.
Other neighbors said the truss factory was purchased and renamed Custom Truss. It stayed busy until two years ago before it closed after a business slowdown.
The land and buildings are now owned by Dennis Storm of Ashville, according to several contractors who were working to tear down a dilapidated building nearby, a few hundred yards from the fire scene.
"I'm not sure what happened. ... [but] it must've happened quickly," said Cory Moyer, a Mid-State Drywall employee, who said he was returning from a lunch break around noon when he first spotted fire. "Just about the whole thing was in flames."
Another worker who identified himself as Storm's brother said his brother had been alerted about the fire earlier but had not arrived at the site by mid-afternoon.
Attempts to contact Storm for comment were unsuccessful late Wednesday.

Volunteers from multiple fire companies were dispatched to the blaze. It was at #735, up a long, unplowed driveway next to The Wine Hut liquor store, according to a first-responder's radio report from the scene.
Frenchtown, Milford, Kingwood, Quakertown and Raritan Township fire companies were among those dispatched, along with several rescue squads. Two fire departments from Bucks County, Pa. were also alerted.
Shorlty before 2 p.m., the South and West county tanker task forces were alerted to haul water to the scene. That area is not served by hydrants.
Firefighters around Hunterdon have been busy today responding to electric wire fires and other situations resulting from the snow, sleet and freezing rain storm.
This morning, a Three Bridges fireman was injured when his fire truck slid off a Raritan Township road and slammed into a tree.

Credit unions exist to help its members. Commercial banks exist to enrich their shareholders.
You read that right. Credit unions are unions that exist to help its members. That's why they often have better interest rates on both loans and deposits. Commercial banks are businesses. Their sole purpose is to figure out how to make more money from its customers (you!). Interest rates are often very low (or nonexistent), loan rates are often competitive, and they always try to sell you new products because you are a customer.
Credit unions, by law, have to have membership requirements. Credit unions are often tied to a geographic area or particular group, so as long as you qualify you can join. The Pentagon Federal Credit Union is one of the better known credit unions, because of their once mighty CD rates (still competitive if you look 3+ year terms), and if you weren't active/retired military or worked in defense, you could be eligible to join just by joining the National Military Families Association. So there are membership rules, but there are ways around them and here are ten reasons why you should try to find a way:
- Better interest rates on loans: At Tower Federal Credit Union, a credit union in Maryland, the current rate on a 60-month loan for a new car starts at 4.75% APR. At Bank of America, the nation's largest commercial bank, the current rate on a 60-month loan for a new car starts at 4.95% APR.
- Personal loans are more likely: The prospect of getting a personal loan at a credit union is much higher than at a commercial bank. In a theme that you'll see repeated in many other reasons, credit union relationships are much stronger and so the likelihood of getting a personal loan is higher as non-financial factors are taken into consideration.
- Better interest rates on deposits: At TFCU, the regular checking account earns 0.25% APY while the regular checking account at Bank of America earns nothing. While I wouldn't recommend putting your savings in a checking account, the fact that you can earn something, while your money is waiting to be spent on regular bills, certainly beats earning nothing. The current savings account rate is 1.40% at TFCU versus 0.20% APY at BoA on the Regular Savings Account.
- Lower fees: There are no minimum balance requirements at TFCU for their checking or savings account. At BoA, you need to keep at least $300 in your savings or have an automatic monthly transfer of $25+ to avoid a $3 fee. If you use a non-TFCU ATM, there's a $0.75 fee; if you use a non-BoA ATM, that'll be $2.
- Fewer customers, better relationships: At a huge bank, you're an account number. They see so many customers throughout the day that there isn't really any opportunity to build relationships. At a smaller bank, you have a better chance to forge those relationships with the employees at that bank. Credit unions are often much smaller and naturally more conducive to this.
- Fewer customers, you're more important: How many customers does Bank of America have? Let's say you want to get an erroneous fee removed, do you think it's easier at your local credit union, where you're one of a few thousand, or at Bank of America, where you're one of a few (hundred?) million?
- No call centers: Credit unions, and other smaller banks, often answer their own phones. Have a problem at a larger bank? You might call in and find yourself talking to someone at a call center. Call centers aren't all bad though, they often get a bad reputation, but I prefer a bank employee over someone at a phone bank reading off a script.
- You can be involved at a credit union: Did you know that the Board of Directors at a credit union is comprised of members who volunteer their time, are unpaid, and elected by the union membership? If you don't like the direction your credit union is going, you have a say in it.
- NCUA insurance: Just like commercial banks and their FDIC insurance, credit unions are protected with NCUA insurance. NCUA stands for the National Credit Union Administration and the NCUA insurance limits mirror that of the FDIC.
- Less profit-driven, takes fewer risks: When you are beholden to shareholders and have the pressure to constantly generate bigger profits, you might be tempted to take greater risks. We see the fallout of that mentality today, with banks failing left and right. Credit unions aren't immune to loan defaults but when you don't feel the constant pressure to generate profit, you don't take on those riskier loans. That leaves a healthier financial institution. To date, 25 commercial banks have failed in 2008 (including some of the biggest national banks), only 9 credit unions (with some being very small, like Meriden F.A. Federal Credit Union with ~$337,968 in assets).
All quoted example rates are as of December 12th, 2008.
Credit unions rule! If you want to read more about credit unions and banks, here's an article on the differences between Thrifts, Credit Unions and Commercial Banks.
Do you have a credit union account? Have any other reasons I missed on why credit unions kick ass?

Portugal Telecom is a global telecommunications operator with 100 million clients worldwide. In Portugal, where it holds a leading position in the markets in which operates, PT provides a wide portfolio of telecoms, multimedia and IT and fixed and mobile convergent services, including broadband access, voice and television, acting in all segments of the telecommunications sector: personal, residential, enterprise solutions and wholesale.

PT has a diversified business portfolio in which quality and innovation are key aspects, aiming at positioning PT as a leading edge operator in the international arena.
Dan Wagner, Chairman and CEO of mPowa, said, "This deal further validates Powa's strategy of white-labelling its mobile technology to banks and telcos. With smartphone ownership increasing in Portugal, particularly among businesses, it was important for us to work with the market leader and most innovative operator in Portugal to provide added value and help thousands of business users to leverage the multiple channels to generate sales on their mobile devices. Powa offers our partners a simple, robust and ubiquitous commerce infrastructure which is fully flexible and customisable, and with which they can start tapping into growing areas of new business."
Celso Martinho, CTO of the Sapo Portal, owned by Portugal Telecom, said "Powa will be integrated in Portugal Telecom Group's innovative solutions and services with a ready to deploy, robust, resilient and secure infrastructure to allow us to roll out mobile point of sale solutions to our customers."
PT's innovation approach leverages a network of partnerships with leading institutions, such as technological suppliers, universities, research centres and other international operators. As a result of its structured approach to innovation and investment in new technologies, PT has already supplied 1.6 million homes with fibre to the home (FTTH) and has deployed a 4G-LTE network that offers speeds of up to 150Mbps to more than 90% of the Portuguese population. PT is the leading triple-play operator in the Portuguese market, with 802,000 customers as at September 2012.
Portugal Telecom is listed on the Euronext and New York Stock Exchange, through a full listing of its ADR program, and is present in the reference Portuguese index and in the benchmark sustainability indexes, DJ Sustainability and FTSE4GOOD. Information about the company is available in Reuters via the code PTC.LS and PT and in Bloomberg via the code PTC PL.

Skip NRA endorsement if both politicians earn 'A'
On Oct. 4, The Buffalo News printed an article in which the National Rifle Association endorsed Rep. Kathy Hochul of the 27th Congressional District. Knowing that both the incumbent and challenger, Chris Collins, have "A" ratings from the NRA, this came as a complete surprise to me. Considering the importance of this position, the tightness of the race and the position of both candidates on Second Amendment rights, I thought the NRA should have taken a neutral position and not endorse either candidate.
I took the liberty to call Chris W. Cox, executive director of the NRA/ILA in Washington, D.C., to get a clarification on why it took this action. He was very accommodating and explained when both candidates are rated "A" by the NRA, the policy is to support the incumbent. The NRA feels this support is justified since the incumbent generally has a voting record of support.
I support Second Amendment rights and I believe in the good work the NRA has done to protect them, but I do not agree with its approach when both candidates are in full support of this issue. This makes it a non-issue in the choosing of a candidate. I believe under these circumstances, the NRA should be silent and let the other major issues such as the economy, jobs, health care, military actions and education be the primary focus in deciding the best person for the position.

A plan by Riverside County to move migrant farm workers out of a substandard trailer park in Thermal could soon be moving forward.
Supervisor John Benoit's office says the California Department of Finance has approved the use of nearly $10 million dollars in bond proceeds, from former redevelopment agency funding, for the completion of the Mountain View Estates.
The county has already spent more than 6 million dollars on the affordable housing development that will have 181 homes.
The new funding clears the way for relocation of most of the families that are now living in the Duroville Mobile Home Park in Thermal, which is under a federal court order to close due to poor housing conditions.

DescriptionThis game is based on the anime and manga by manga artists CLAMP.
In the land of Cephiro, the world was kept in peace and harmony by the wishes of Princess Emauraude, the Pillar of Balance. But the evil priest, Lord Zagato, has kidnapped Emauraude, and Cephiro is being invaded by deadly beasts. If this continues, Zagato will gain complete control of Cephiro! The only ones who can stop him are the legendary Magic Knights...
And those Magic Knights are three young girls from Earth. Hikaru Shidou, Umi Ryuuzaki, and Fuu Hououjii have been plucked from modern-day Tokyo and brought to Cephiro by Emauraude, and they're the only ones who can defeat Zagato...as the Magic Knights!
This interpretation of the manga story is a traditional Japanese-style RPG. The player controls the three main heroines as a party; each one uses different weapons and learns various skills. Typically for the genre, the party roams the top-down world, visits towns, descends into dungeons, chats with non-playable characters, and fights randomly appearing enemies in turn-based style.

If they do this
Then the botnets will simply use the minimum TTL. Even if they do take down the master channel, the botnet could be designed not to need things like DNS to work - that way, the controller just needs to get back up and the net just processes the orders it had and fails to grow for a while. Since in all odds they can bring new masters up very quickly, I doubt the problem would be very big for botnet operators.

Where I stayed
As we entered, the character of the port town came to life with the mix of antique architecture, colorful homes stacked on the hillside, and endless graffitti on the walls. Artwork covered the walls EVERYWHERE, as it was clearly a part of the artist culture of the town. The rolling hills and famous stairways were a sight to see, and many tourists walked around, often getting lost in the maze of streets to see the interesting pictures.
Camilo drove up the curvy, cobble-stone hills, often having to make a quick 90 degree turn at a steep angle
We strolled the streets filled with character, went to a museum with interesting artwork and stopped at a hillside cafe for the local beer, the first dark beer we have encountered in awhile. We would certainly remember the beer with the pirate on the label. We headed back to the hostel and met the host for the Thursday night pub crawl, a really nice Mexican man. We had planned to cook in the community kitchen, since it was indeed Thanksgiving, but instead we joined the pub crawl and had a delicious dinner before we hopped around to a few bars, and ended up in a great locals spot where a man was playing guitar and playing music by Victor Jara and Violete Parra. The man was incredible with the guitar, and had a voice that evoked the original emotions of these songs. Camilo and I stayed as the others made their way back, and we enjoyed the music until the bar closed for the night...first time we have lasted to closing time, but well worth it. The songs were powerful and we walked back to our hostel, hand in hand, feeling so grateful to be here, together!
The next day we took a ride along the beautiful coast to Vina del Mar, which is the upscale beach town and vacation spot for those in Santiago. The ride was nice, and we stopped for a quick empanada before hitting the golden beaches for a bit of sunbathing. A short nap in the sand, a dip of our toes in the frigid Pacific water, and then returned to the hostel
It was Friday night, and the hostel had set up live music in the patio area so we cooked some dinner and waited for the artists to arrive. We chatted with the other travelers and were quickly engaged with a crew of 3 men who were filming a very simple yet profound and interesting documentary about � Right or Left?� Two Chileans and a charasmatic man from Australia, went around to anyone on the street and simply asked, Right or Left? Nothing more and nothing less. There was absolutely no explanation, but when they answered, Right or Left, the follow up question was WHY? It was fascinating to hear about their progress and encounters, as most assumed it was a political question and answered quickly. However, when asked why, it was a more puzzling question, and often the answer was simple because that is how I grew up. Some answers more profound and some where comical, as the person would answer....well, because I can punch harder with my right hand....or, well, because I am about to turn left. All in all, a very interesting documentary, especially because most people tend to have no idea WHY, truly WHY they believe in certain things, and it is simply because it was what has been passed down to them by their family.
The music arrived, two young Chileans with guitars
The night continued and the from wine, we switched to a shared bottle of Pisco and Soda before heading out to an Absenthe bar. We enjoyed conversation with the Australian about the reality of life and being able to see through the things that are truly made up, yet people believe in them so deeply that it drives their life, and haunts their psyche! KRI-Kee!! Camilo forgot his wallet, so he was very nice to pick up our bill and take us dancing at a local club. It was a fun night overall, but the celings were so low, Camilo and the tall Aussie had to duck, so we stayed for a bit longer and headed home. I don�t mix alchol well, so I was ready for water and bed.
Waking up with a hangover the size of Texas, I could not move. Camilo got up and socialized with everyone while I slept it off. We walked around a different part of town before returning to the hostel to make some food for the next few days of travel. We took it easy, and enjoyed the Saturday night live music at the hostel, which was a very talented Chilean couple that played guitar and sang beautiful folk music. We bought their CD and went to sleep. It was a great 3 days here in Valparaiso, one of our favorite places so far.

Fujita is suspended
May 2, 2012 - Mike McLain
The fallout from the scandal surrounding the New Orleans Saints' bounty system has reached as far as Cleveland.
Browns linebacker Scott Fujita, who played for the Saints when former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams deployed a system of paying players that injured opposing players, has been suspended three games by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Also suspended were current Saints Johnathan Vilma and Will Smith and current Green Bay Packer Anthony Hargrove. Vilma was suspended for the entire season. Hargrove and Smith will miss four games.
All players can appeal the commissioner's decision within three days. ESPN is reporting that all three plan to appeal.
Fujita will be allowed to participate in offseason practices and training camp. He can also play in preseason games.
The potential loss of Fujita for the first three games of the season will be felt at an area that lacks depth. When Fujita missed the final games of last season with a hand injury, his spot on the strong side was filled by Chris Gocong, who had been starting on the weak side. Kaluka Maiava moved in to replace Gocong.
The Browns did address linebacker during last week's NFL draft. They used a fourth-round pcik on James-Michael Johnson of the University of Nevada and a sixth-round pick on Emmanuel Cinedum Acho of the University of Texas.
Fujita is entering the final year of the three-year contract he signed during the offseason following the Saints' Super Bowl championship season in 2009.
The NFL's investigation established that Fujita, a linebacker, pledged a significant amount of money to the prohibited pay-for-performance/bounty pool during the 2009 NFL Playoffs when he played for the Saints. The pool to which he pledged paid large cash rewards for "cart-offs" and "knockouts," plays during which an opposing player was injured .Fujita had told to Sports Illustrated's Peter King that he directly paid teammates for big plays but not to hurt opponents and not as part of the bounty system. Three of Fujita's former teammates were also suspended: Jonathan Vilma for a year, to begin immediately; Anthony Hargrove eight games and Will Smith four games. All four players will appeal, according to ESPN. Browns linebacker Chris Gocong replaced Fujita at strongside 'backer last year when he missed the last five games with a hand injury and Kaluka Maiava replaced Gocong on the weak side.

Frequently Asked Questions on Sleep Disorders
The appropriate amount of sleep varies from person to person. For most people, eight hours each night is enough. But for many, six hours is plenty, and others may need ten. While your sleep habits may change throughout your life, contrary to popular belief, the amount of sleep you need doesn't really change. The following are some tips to help you determine whether you are getting too little sleep:
• Extreme drowsiness during the day and inability to keep from falling asleep during repeated intervals
• Irrational anger and irritability
• Inability to concentrate
• Forgetfulness and short-term memory loss
Almost everyone experiences difficulty with sleep at some time. Problems can range from snoring to insomnia and can be related to times of stress or anxiety. But, if a sleep disorder persists for more than a week, you should seek the help of a physician.
The most common sleep disorders include:
Insomnia: The inability to fall asleep or periods of wakefulness during the night, which afflicts up to 10 percent of the population.
Narcolepsy: An irresistible need to sleep no matter how much sleep you get, which can manifest in "sleep attacks" while talking, driving, or working.
Parasomnia: This disorder includes a range of sleep events such as nightmares, sleepwalking seizures, the acting out of strange behaviors while still asleep, or even violence. While parasomnia is a rare form of sleep disorder, it can cause extreme disruption to an individual's daily functioning and family life.
Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) or Periodic Limb Movements (PLM): This condition causes twitching or jerking of the legs during sleep, resulting in sleep disruption and fatigue during the day.
Sleep Apnea: A disorder that causes a cessation of breathing during sleep for intermittent periods of 10 to 60 seconds.
There are two basic forms of sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea is caused by an obstruction in the throat, while central sleep apnea is a neuromuscular condition caused by a delay in the brain's signal to breathe. The condition's most common symptom is excessive, loud snoring.
No, not necessarily. Simple snoring is caused by a partial obstruction of the upper airways, which may be annoying, but not harmful. However, those with a total obstruction will follow loud snoring with brief periods of silence, which can mean they are not breathing. Very loud, consistent snoring is usually an indication of sleep apnea and should be investigated.
People with sleep apnea are actually suffering a deprivation of oxygen, and, therefore, the long-term effects can be dangerous if not treated. Some of the risks of the untreated condition include heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure. In addition, the lack of restful sleep can cause an individual to experience extreme fatigue, which can lead to accidents while on the job or driving.
Yes. Sleep apnea more often occurs in men and generally in the 35- to 65-year-old age group. Obesity and excessive alcohol use can also cause sleep apnea. Individuals with refractory hypertension and coronary artery disease are also more likely to develop sleep apnea.
Yes. Some treatments for mild sleep apnea include lifestyle changes such as weight loss or modifications to sleeping positions. There are also a variety of oral devices that can be worn during sleep to help open the air passageway.
However, more severe cases are treated with a procedure called Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), which opens the air passage using pressurized air blown into the nose through a nose mask device.
Facial deformities such as jaw structure, enlarged tonsils, or a large tongue can also cause moderate to severe sleep apnea. There are several surgical treatments that can be employed to correct these conditions.
Yes. These include:
The American Sleep Apnea Association
This is not a problem. Your room will have an intercom where you can call the sleep technologist, who will unplug a couple of wires and you'll be able to go use the bathroom.
• Try to maintain a consistent bedtime.
• Do not drink alcohol or caffeine in the late afternoon or evening before bedtime.
• Avoid naps during the day.
• Relax and unwind before bedtime.
• Keep your room dark, quiet, and conducive to sleeping.
• Exercise regularly, but not just before bedtime.
• If you are tossing and turning, try a relaxing activity such as reading a book or listening to soft music.

Album Review
If you've read anything else about
the Blue Nile
, you already know it takes them eight to ten years between albums, they're elegant sad sacks, and they're critically adored for the most part. Their last album, 1996's
Peace at Last
, was their first stumble, with main man
Paul Buchanan
yammering wistfully about family and domestication instead of giving listeners the skeletal poems and studio magic of their first two albums. If you weren't staring at your newborn,
Peace at Last
could grow tiresome, but
the Blue Nile
have returned with a more balanced album and
is broken-hearted again, thank the stars. He's been struggling with fatigue and illness and as selfish and inconsiderate as it sounds, it's brought the spark back to his writing. Mood over narrative has always worked to
the Blue Nile
's benefit and that's what the excellent "Broken Loves" is all about, giving the listener a better chance to relate than
Peace at Last
's postcard from home. "I Would Never" is the sweet single, but album tracks like "Because of Toledo" and "She Saw the World" are where the album gets meaty and intricately structured, recalling the glory days. Getting more obscure and atmospheric toward the end,
follows the arc of their classic,
Walk Across the Rooftops
, and given the time to sink in, the album fits well in their canon. The closing "Stay Close" is one of those "raw emotion over urbanite aesthetic" tracks that fans crave. It makes the eyes well up, and like the better part of
, justifies the next eight- to ten-year wait.

"Why?" you may be asking. "Why not?" counters Dave Karlotski, The Wire's co-founder and publisher. "We're not going to give you a prize, we're not going to give you a studio deal, we're not going to get you on the radio. But we are going to give you a deadline."
The RPM is a challenge, not a competition. It's like a marathon: No one ever wins a marathon (well, someone does, but not you)–you enter it to prove you can finish. At its debut in 2006, RPM attracted 220 groups from around New Hampshire, mostly casual musicians, some of whom had never been in a band or hadn't in years. To everyone's surprise, 165 of the groups actually finished. The second year, The Wire made the challenge international, and by March 1st its office was flooded with 850 CDs from all seven continents (including a blues album from McMurdo Station, Antarctica).
The albums are usually rough and often experimental. Submissions have ranged from a Speed Racer concept album to a musical walking tour of Portsmouth set 50 years in the future. Few go on to have any commercial success (although Gay Bride of Frankenstein, a 2008 submission, did pretty well Off-Off-Broadway), but that's not the point. The point is to do something that you'd convinced yourself was just a dream. "We have so many excuses to put off our art," Karlotski explains. "We give people an excuse to do what they want to do."

Honestly, I wouldn't be afraid to drink this almond milk a few times a week, but I wouldn't make it a daily habit.
ingredients for the unsweetened variety:
Ingredients: almondmilk (filtered water, almonds), calcium carbonate, tapioca starch, sea salt, potassium citrate, carrageenan, sunflower lecithin, natural flavor, vitamin a palmitate, vitamin d2 and d-alpha-tocopherol (natural vitamin e).
nothing there seems to outlandish. I see people saying not consume this but for someone who doesn't have the means to make homemade nut milk why isn't this a good option.
Honestly, I wouldn't be afraid to drink this almond milk a few times a week, but I wouldn't make it a daily habit.
I personally have no problem with tapioca, but my main issues are with carrageenan (a thickener that has causes IBS flares for some people, which makes me suspect that it's processed in a really bad way, but this concern may not apply to other people) and natural flavor (which is usually anything but 'natural', often a chemical cocktail.
I personally think it's probably not so bad that a person would have to avoid it if there were no other alternatives. It's certainly much better than drinking soda made from HFCS.
I tend to use coconut milk over almond milk, because I prefer the fatty acid profile, but that also tends to have the added thickener problem.
Almond milk is not an optimal choice. It's considered frankenfood... but that doesn't stop some of us from drinking it.
Tapioca is primal because it is a root (I think). Last I checked roots were on the ok list.
--Trish (Bork)
FOOD PORN BLOG! http://theprimaljunkfoodie.blogspot.com
The long list of ingredients that sounds more suited to a list of multivitamins than to a food. It's not terrible, but as others have called it, frankenfood.
F 28/5'4/100 lbs
"I'm not a psychopath, I'm a high-functioning sociopath; do your research."
As far as I'm concerned, the carrageenan is the biggest culprit on the ingredient list. I've seen it equated with MSG and as far as my now once-in-a-blue-moon migraines go (for which MSG is the number one trigger), it may as well be MSG. I've read sources which state that it either contains MSG or that MSG is created during the processing of it. Not sure how reliable those sources are and don't really care - I steer clear of it regardless, considering my n=1. Unfortunately, it's in all kinds of "foods".
Life is not a matter of having good cards, but of playing a poor hand well.
- Robert Louis Stevenson
The difference between mass-produced almond milk and almond milk you make yourself ought to be a good object lesson. I think to make it you just grind up some almonds in a blender and add water, let it soak a while and strain. (This is from memory from something I read about 20 years ago, so maybe look up the correct process.) The end result will not look or taste the same as the stuff you buy. This ought to tell you that the long list of additives are quite significant to the product.
Try going without any milk or milk-like substance. There is no gaping hole left when you can't drink a glass of milky stuff.
Female, 5'3", 50, Max squat: 202.5lbs. Max deadlift: 225 x 3.
The ingredient, "natural flavors" is a hidden name for MSG! I just emailed the company to tell me exactly what this ingredient is. If they give me a roundabout answer, then I know it is MSG and will no longer buy this product.

Tyler Johnson scored the go-ahead goal on a short-handed breakaway late in the third period and the Tampa Bay Lightning clinched a playoff berth with a 3-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night.
The win, and losses by New Jersey and Washington, gave Tampa Bay its first post-season berth since 2011 and only its second in seven years. The Canadiens also qualified for the post-season by virtue of the losses by New Jersey and Washington.
Canadiens right wing Brendan Gallagher was on one knee in the low slot when he redirected a rebound past goalie Ben Bishop to open the scoring 10:18 into the first period.
Ryan Callahan made it 1-1 on a power play 9:19 into the second, skating through the left circle toward Price and lifting a shot high into the net past Carey Price.
Alex Killorn added an empty-netter with 45 seconds left in the third period
