Maybe there is no conceptual difference... which is why I think we're expressing frustration at the wrong piece of the new world order. Now that the default hal rules no longer "hide" internal disk drive partitions from gnome-volume-manager even if they are explicitly listed in fstab, I imagine this will also be a cause for frustration similar to the tape drive or the audio hardware scenario. Same goes for cd changers. I think the underlying problem is that advanced hardware access policy technology is advancing far more rapidly than local administrators are able to keep up with and its disrupting workflow that has been used for years. It's the bargain price of rapid innovation. I don't think there are insurmountable things going on, I just don't think we have a good enough understanding on how to use HAL/CK/PK to do local policy hardware access customizations, so we end up fighting the technologies instead of reconfiguration them. What we need to understand better as local sysadmins is how PolicyKit, ConsoleKit, and Hal can be re-configured to support well defined multuser environments scenarios, and limit how session related daemons get access to hardware. I don't know about you, but I learn best by having one or two tasked-based examples of how to reconfigure these things. For example having an example on how to write new configurations for these technologies that let me pre-emptively get access to a sound output for mpd in such a way that the user desktop PA daemon loses control would be a good read. Or how to reconfigure things so local tape/harddrive partitions are restricted from console user access so they can be used by automated backup services running out of cron. And I don't mean "find the hal policy definition file that came with F7 and drop it on your system." We need to actually have from scratch examples to work through, so we can understand the logic of constructing the configuration, not cookie cutter recipes to 'fix' things. I'll also say that I've seen the same sort of frustrations being expressed of selinux when it was introduced. The recent blog posts from Dan Walsh concerning how to actually reconfigure the selinux policy to get non-default things done have been exactly the sort of "re-learning" material that all the new technologies are going to need. The lock down of x-guest environment blog posts in particular have been good to help me think about actually using selinux to get something done and not just finding ways to disable selinux because its in the way. What we really need is this sort re-configure "Use CK/PK/Hal" to get something cool done. Unfortunately, as with the case of the selinux stuff, we really need the people who grok these technologies to produce this "re-learning" material, because the rest of us are just completely and utterly lost and are going to continue to work around these technologies instead of attempting to use them. Questions for the future. Can we develop drop-in configurations to replace the default configs for CK/PK/Hal which provide a better starting point for defined multi-user usage cases? Can we develop graphical tools which help tweak those configs for local needs? Will this tie into sabayon? I would think there would be a compelling RHEL need to introduce some local admin-centric helper tools for local hardware access policy decisions, so local admins will start to reach for the new technology as a solution instead of fighting it by just trying to turn it off or work around it. -jef"And by we..

I am selling my complete freestyle/all around set up. All the items for sale were only used for a season and a half, and are in very good shape physically and cosmetically. If I had not outgrown them, I would still be using them for this season. The board and bindings are being sold as a package because the mounting screws in the baseplates have been stripped and therefore the bindings can't easily be taken off the board. Besides that though, both the board and bindings work like new. The board was waxed weekly and does not have any core shots or major damage to the base or edges. Everything else I am willing to sell individually. The items are all listed with their prices below, or for $400 plus shipping you can take everything.

Rios Keeps His Promise, Rocks The Home Depot Center
By Jake Donovan
Brandon Rios made the first defense of his lightweight belt with a third round knockout of Urbano Antillon on Saturday evening at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California.
The official time was 2:49 of the third round.
The fight promised to be a war for however long it lasted. Even Rios was surprised by how early it ended, but nobody was shocked over how the bout came to a close.
Both fighters threw hard shots at a frantic pace from the opening bell, making for a thrilling opening round on a fight that never came close to disappointing. Power punches were flying as momentum swung back and forth, not particularly uncommon for Rios in the early going as he is by his own admission a traditionally late starter.
Antillon put that theory to the test, scoring with a massive right hand that shook Rios late in the second round.
Just when it appeared that the advertised Fight of the Year would live up to its pre-fight buildup, Rios decided to take over – and eventually end matters.
A knockdown early in the third round permanently changed the course of the bout. Antillon rose to his feet and bravely battled back, but simply lacked the firepower to hold off the determined Rios, who clearly had stoppage on his mind.
That moment would come late in the round, when Rios landed a bomb of a straight right hand. Antillon crashed face first to the canvas, but once again attempted to rise to his feet to continue. Referee David Mendoza had other ideas, waving off the bout once he recognized that the fighter was no longer capable of defending himself.
Rios throws his hat into the ring as the future of the lightweight division, at least for as long as he can continue to make weight. With Juan Manuel Marquez moving up first for a tune-up bout and then a third fight with Manny Pacquiao later in the year, a huge void is left at the top of the division.
Performances like this suggest that Rios could very well be that man. The 25-year old improves to 28-0-1 (21KO) with the win, racking up his second impressive knockout of 2011. The California-based rising star made his presence when he rallied back to knock out Miguel Acosta earlier in the year.
Antillion resurrected his career with a tough-as-nails performance in narrowly losing to Humberto Soto late last year. A rematch was on tap between the two before Soto pulled out the fight – and his agreement with Top Rank and Zanfer Promotions – leaving Antillion without a dance partner.
Rios immediately jumped in and agreed to the fight, claiming there was history between the two. Antillon never quite saw it that way, but could've used similar motivation to fuel his own performance. The Californian dips to 28-3 (20KO), dropping his second straight and having now lost three of his last five, dating back to a shocking knockout loss to Acosta two years ago.
Speaking of shocking, welterweight spoiler Carlos Molina scored a huge upset with a surprisingly wide unanimous decision over former titlist Kermit Cintron.
Scores were 98-92 across the board for their catchweight bout.
Cintron returned to the ring for the first time in 14 months, and struggled to get a rhythm going at any point in the fight. Even his best moments – a left hook in the second round and a long right hand late in the fight – were immediately countered by Molina, who for a change was able to enjoy a full training camp after a career largely spent accepting late notice fights.
The point of no return for Cintron came in the fifth round, when Molina dominated the action with pure power punching. The Chicago-based Mexican never looked back, applying constant pressure throughout the rest of the night.
Molina continues his impressive run as he improves to 19-4-2 (6KO). The divisional gatekeeper is now unbeaten in his last 11 fights dating back to 2007 (10-0-1 over that stretch), including an impressive 10-round draw with junior middleweight contender Erislandy Lara.
Cintron's career appears to have hit a wall. The Puerto Rican has now lost two straight as he falls to 32-4-1 (28KO). The bout marked his first ring appearance since his bizarre ending against Paul Williams last May, also in this very arena.
The former titlist was signed by Top Rank (co-promoter) in the hopes of grooming him for a future shot at Manny Pacquiao. That one remains a pipe dream, as Cintron's career continues to spiral downward.
Once upon a time, Cintron's handlers could claim that their fighter has only lost to the very best. Losses to Antonio Margarito and last year's bizarre battle with Paul Williams were easily forgiven considering where those fighters stood at the time of the fight.
The loss on Saturday night now causes the 31-year old Cintron and his handlers to reexamine his career. His last notable win came in an upset over Alfredo Angulo in May 2009, posting only a tune-up victory in Puerto Rico later that year.
After that came the debacle with Paul Williams, a night that ended with Cintron somehow flying head first through the ropes and on to the ring apron, resulting in a strangely scored unanimous decision loss in a bout that barely stretched into the fourth round.
The Puerto Rican entered a co-promotional deal with Top Rank (already serving under the DiBella Entertainment baner), with the idea of posting a win streak and eventually scoring a major fight with pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao.
While not unfathomable especially when considering some of Pacquiao's recent opposition, it's clear that any major fight Cintron lands in the near future will come strictly in an opponent capacity.
Meanwhile, Molina's stock skyrockets. The catchweight and recent streak allows the Mexican to entertain opportunities at welterweight and junior middleweight. His resume is a clear indication that he's willing to fight anyone at any time and has certainly earned the right to fight for big money.
The show was aired live on Showtime and presented by Top Rank, Inc.

We do elect an awful lot of idiots to govern us. The gov't raising the cost of mfg does not create new employment. You can't keep running all of your socialist programs on credit. Also, keep in mind to only jobs that create wealth are in mfg, commodities and food. BO's job programs have very little to do with creating wealth.

Ever since taking a class on Canadian geography when I wanted to be a high school social studies teacher (yes, my school totally had a Canadian geography class) I've wanted to visit ANYWHERE in Canada. And so I was pretty excited when Erin submitted her interview for WILW. After reading all that Erin had to say, I must admit I want to come visit her! Enjoy!
Name: Erin
Location: Victoria, BC, Canada
How long have you lived there? Since I was born! My mom is from here and my dad is Newfoundland, on the East coast of Canada. They were living in NF when my mom got pregnant with me, and they moved back to BC soon after.
If you moved from somewhere else, where did you move from? Why? n/a
What's the climate like? Very mild. We don't often get snow. When we do, it is a major news story. Everyone freaks out and rushes off to buy snow shovels and big bags of salt! We're right by the ocean (it is an island, after all!) so we get lovely breezes throughout the summer and love to spend days at the beach. We have a fantastically long growing season. Victoria is known as The Garden City, thanks to all our blooms.
What are some of your favorite things to do during a typical weekend where you live? We live in a suburb of Victoria, about 25 minutes from downtown. It's a really up-and-coming part of town, with lots to do. My hubby and I like to take the kids to Starbucks, and for long walks or bike rides on one of many nearby trails (in the summer we stop for buckets full of blackberries). We like to go out for lunch somtimes on a Saturday or to rec centre for a swim. The one thing we do pretty much every weekend is work in our garden. There's always something new to be planted, and weeds to keep on top of! (we have a big vegetable garden, and this year we're hoping for lots of fruit too).
What are some of your favorite restaurants in your town/city? Favorite shops? I love Pagliacci's, a tiny Italian place right downtown. They make the most amazing foccaccia bread ever. I'm also rather fond of having afternoon tea at The White Heather Tea Room in Oak Bay. The scones with preserves and cream are divine (and I love how everyone gets a unique- and beautiful- teacup).
As far as shops go, I am a real lover of books and stationery. We have an old bookstore not far from the harbour, called Munros Books (owned by the family of Canadian author Alice Munro) that I could while away the hours in. I love The Papery for writing paper, cards, ribbons… Lazy Susan's has fun vintage postcards, clothing and handmade jewelery.
Suggest some must see places for an out of town visitor. Victoria is a great place for tourists, and a popular destination year-round. The Butchart Gardens are beautiful, and their summer fireworks shows are fantastic. I love the inner harbour and the causeway for wandering along with a cold drink. You can browse the fancy shops in the Empress Hotel, then walk across the street to check out the Parliament Buildings, then walk up Government Street to look in all the little shops (be sure to stop at Rogers Chocolates!) Definitely drive along Dallas Road to see the ocean and the Olympic Mountains. I'd also recommend driving up-island to see Cathedral Grove and some of the biggest and oldest trees in the world.
Tell us why you love your town/city. It's clean, the people are friendly, we have great parks and beaches, fabulous bookstores, good weather… I like the old heritage buildings and the fabulous green spaces. It's a very family-friendly city. I'm glad my kids are growing up here. I love living near the sea. Nothing smells better than the salt in the air when you come home from a long trip away…
Anything else we should know about where you live? We have some pretty great festivals and fun events here throughout the year. There's never a shortage of fun things to see and do. You should definitely come visit. We're only about 90 minutes from Vancouver by ferry.

Have you ever wondered how 28 countries, each with their own competent authority (Ministry of Health), and the many designated notified bodies in the European Union, express (and arbitrate) their collective interpretation of different directives and operational issues associated with the regulation of medical devices? Let's discuss the many facets of the regulations governing medical devices in Europe.
Guidance Documents
One set of documents pivotal for manufacturers to consider is guidance documents. Don't dismiss their name by virtue of the word "guidance." While "guidance" belies importance, these documents are the strongest documented consensus of how directives or specific parts of a directive are interpreted. And many of the entities involved in the medical device industry in Europe have designated groups that issue these guidance documents. A simple way to think about guidance is as a set of instructions or directions, just as instructions for use are required for certain devices, guidance documents further explain the legislation.
Following is an explanation of the importance of guidance documents and an attempt to unravel the mystery of who issues device guidance and how these documents are issued.
Major Players in the Regulation of Medical Devices in Europe
Numerous entities play a role in assessing, evaluating and modifying regulations for medical devices in Europe; hence, many entities issue guidance documents. As you might imagine, there are many organizations and committees dealing with various issues that are important to specific device categories. However, certain groups exert significant influence.
Let's start with a succinct legislative primer: The European Commission is involved in proposing legislation. In each member state, the competent authorities all have national rules and regulations in addition to the transposed Medical Device Directive (MDD). In addition, notified bodies, such as BSI and TUV, play an active role in the medical device industry.
Similar to the hierarchy that existed for standards, there exists some semblance of a hierarchy for guidance; such documents from the EU Commission are the most significant, and MEDDEV guidance documents are more significant than NB-MED guidelines. And, similar to vertical and horizontal standards, there are "vertical" and "horizontal" guidance documents.
The Major Guidance Documents
EU Commission Guidance - The European Commission was granted the "right of initiative" in the legislative process to propose legislation that is ratified by the European Parliament and Council. In this capacity, the EU Commission also publishes guidance to provide explanations to the directives. As an example, the EU Commission published EU Guidelines on the application of the Directive 89/336/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the member states relating to electromagnetic compatibility. The guidance was developed to explain the "requirements for compliance with the provisions of the EMC Directive." Even more significant, the EU Commission has provided guidance on the "New Approach Standardisation in the Internal Market"- this is an extensive repository of resources.
MEDDEV Guidance Documents - The EU Commission established the Medical Device Expert Group (MDEG). It is composed of delegates from member state competent authorities and other EU well-known organizations including EUCOMED, EDMA, CEN, CENELEC, NB-MED and EAAR. The MDEG is most well known for the guidance documents it publishes, MEDDEV Guidance Documents. These items reflect the consensus position of its members on such issues as the demarcation between the MDD and AIMDD Directive, definition of an accessory, classification of devices, translation procedures and much more. The opinion of this group is not legally binding but is considered the "highest" of guidelines in the industry.
The MDEG meets regularly to discuss common issues and discusses the drafting of new guidance documents. More than 10 sub-groups of the MDEG contribute; some of them include the Market Surveillance Operation Group; Vigilance Expert Group; and New & Emerging Medical Device Technologies Working Group. Currently, 28 MEDDEVs have been issued, and they are all available on the EU Commission Europa Web site. Let's discuss them in more detail.
NB-MED Guidance Documents - The EU Commission and individual countries formed the Notified Body Operations Group (NBOG) in 2000 to address concerns about the inconsistent performance of notified bodies in medical devices and the competent authorities responsible for them. Essentially, the NBOG identifies and communicates "best practices" for notified bodies and reports on their progress at the semi-annual meeting of the Competent Authorities and the MDEG. One member of the NBOG usually produces a written guidance, which is then circulated to the other members for comment.
Notified Bodies issue guidance documents with the moniker NB-MED. These items also can be elevated to MEDDEV status if they are approved by the MDEG. An example of a NB-MED guidance document is NB-MED/2.5.2/Rec 2, titled Reporting of Design Changes and Changes of the Quality System. Twenty-seven NB-MED guidance documents are available on the European Association of Notified Bodies for Medical Devices (TEAM-NB) website.
Competent Authority Issued Guidance Documents
Competent authorities and the National Ministries of Health, in each member state, enforce the medical device directives. Each country has transposed these directives into their national law; therefore, competent authorities also can describe their opinions in guidance documents. Such guidance may be applicable if a manufacturer is distributing its device in a specific member state. As an example, in Ireland, the Medical Devices Department of the Irish Medicines Board issues pertinent guidance. In December, the group issued a guidance document titled, Guide for Manufacturers of System and Procedure Packs Regarding Legislative Requirements.
It is important to know that when this transposition occurs, differences can occur from country to country. Individual competent authorities may have differing interpretations on the meaning of what was originally approved, and additional differences can occur due to simple translation errors.
Why Guidance Matters
Here's an actual illustration of the importance of guidance. On Aug. 11, 2005, the European Commission published Directive 2005/50/EC on the reclassification of hip, knee and shoulder joint replacements to Class III from IIb. This was driven at the request of the competent authorities in France and the United Kingdom. Annex 9 of the original Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC was amended to reflect the new classification for these devices. After the directive was published, MDEG stakeholders realized that some points in the directive needed clarification and subsequently published a guidance document on Jan. 11, 2007, to help clarify these issues.
The guidance document is a unified interpretation of the meaning and intent of the directive and is not legally binding. Look at it this way: Amendments to directives reflect major shifts in thinking, whereas guidance documents are merely clarifications of existing rules. Reclassification of an entire line of products is a major shift, and therefore, an amendment to the directive was completed.
You can see all of the guidance documents that come out of these groups by visiting the medical devices section of the European Commission's website. All of them also are available in the Library section of our site.
As you can see, the legislation process is complex in Europe, and many different stakeholders are involved. Reviewing the guidance, however, can give you a better understanding of the changes. Guidance documents should be considered as important as law, even though they are not legally binding.

A White House petition to deport singer Justin Bieber and revoke his green card has surpassed the 100,000 signatures it needs for an official response.
Bieber, 19, was arrested in Miami, Fla., last Thursday and charged with driving while intoxicated and resisting arrest.
That same day, a White House petition was created to deport Bieber and reverse the status of his green card. The pop star is Canadian.
As of Wednesday afternoon, the petition received nearly 109,000 signatures.
The petition needed to receive at least 100,000 signatures by Feb. 12 in order to receive a response from the White House.
The White House has not yet responded.
Police allege Bieber had beer, prescription drugs and marijuana in his system when he was arrested on Jan. 23. Officials say his blood alcohol level was .04, which is illegal for those who are underage. He was released after he posted $2,500 bail.
The pop singer was raised in Ontario, Canada, and has been living in the United States on a visa.
He will be arraigned on Feb. 14.


text: I just bought a house that was empty for a couple months. The hot water from all faucets has a horrible sulphur smell. Will simply running the hot water in the faucets help fix the problem (ie. drain the hot water heater enough to fix the problem) or will I have to drain the actual hot water heater? If I have to drain the hot water heater, how difficult is that?

Rat-Race Coupler
Application ID: 11739
A 180° Ring Hybrid (Rat-Race Coupler) is a four-port network with 180° phase difference between two ports. It is cheaper to manufacture this type of microstrip line component compared to a wave guide 180° hybrid junction, so called magic-T. The objective of this model is to compute the S-parameters and to observe the matching, isolation, and coupling around the operating frequency.

Sparkling Fountains or Stagnant Ponds: An Integrative Model of Creativity and Innovation Implementation in Work Groups
I am grateful to the many colleagues with whom I have had conversations that have influenced my thinking about groups, creativity, and innovation implementation. For commenting on an early draft of this article I thank particularly Nigel Nicholson and Carsten De Dreu, and for their constructive and insightful criticisms, I thank the editor and three anonymous reviewers of this journal.
I would add another characteristic—task significance (Hackman & Oldham, 1975). This refers to the importance of the task in contributing to organisational goals or to the wider society. A lifeboat team in a rural coastal area with busy shipping lanes and a health and safety team in a high-risk industry are likely to be highly intrinsically motivated by the significance of their tasks.
This relationship is likely to be, to some extent, reciprocal. Available skills within the team will limit the task that can be performed. If the breast cancer care team has no oncologist then some discussions about diagnosis and treatment will have to be held by people outside the team.
Below, I explore how diversity influences integrating group processes.
Below it is suggested that where task characteristics are such that the team members are highly intrinsically motivated then the requirement for external demands to motivate innovation implementation will be weak.
At the extreme of course, high levels of threat may reduce group cohesion and safety when group members feel the capacities of the group are inadequate to manage the threats or demands.
Sternberg and Lubart (1996) refer to synthetic and practical contextual qualities of creativity, which include the extent to which ideas escape the bounds of conventional thinking and the persuasiveness of the ideas to those affected by their implementation.

Cet article présente une synthèse des recherches et théories qui éclairent notre compréhension de la créativité et de la mise en œuvre de l'innovation dans les groupes de travail. Il semble que la créativité apparaisse essentiellement au cours des premières étapes du processus, avant la mise en œuvre. On étudie l'influence des caractéristiques de la tâche, des capacités et de l'éventail des connaissances du groupe, des demandes externes, des mécanismes d'intégration et de cohérence de groupe. La perception d'une menace, l'incertitude ou de fortes exigences entravent la créativité, mais favorisent l'innovation. La diversité des connaissances et des capacités est un bon prédicteur de l'innovation, mais l'intégration du groupe et les compétences sont indispensables pour récolter les fruits de la diversité. On examine aussi les implications théoriques et pratiques de ces considérations.
In this article I synthesise research and theory that advance our understanding of creativity and innovation implementation in groups at work. It is suggested that creativity occurs primarily at the early stages of innovation processes with innovation implementation later. The influences of task characteristics, group knowledge diversity and skill, external demands, integrating group processes and intragroup safety are explored. Creativity, it is proposed, is hindered whereas perceived threat, uncertainty or other high levels of demands aid the implementation of innovation. Diversity of knowledge and skills is a powerful predictor of innovation, but integrating group processes and competencies are needed to enable the fruits of this diversity to be harvested. The implications for theory and practice are also explored.

text: Columbus Day October 13, 2014: After Fatal Crash, State Urges Boaters To Stay Safe By Marva Hinton • Oct 13, 2014 Today on WLRN-Miami Herald News, you heard: U.S. Coast Guard Adds New Slow-Speed Zone Ahead Of Columbus Day Weekend By Pattrik Simmons • Oct 10, 2014 Pattrik Simmons The U.S. Coast Guard today announced a new slow-speed zone to ensure the safety of boaters in and out of Convoy Point and Black Point Marina during the Columbus Day weekend celebrations. "Historically, we have had a slow-speed zone in the area, but it's been centered mostly in the northern part of the Biscayne Bay," said Lt. Mike Cortese, Commanding Officer of U.S. Coast Guard Station Miami Beach. "We have extended it south all the way to Black Point [Marina] to help cover the high-traffic areas between the Elliot Key and the marinas where boaters often launch out of." How Columbus Sailed Into U.S. History, Thanks To Italians It's been 521 years since the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus "sailed the ocean blue/in fourteen hundred and ninety-two." Since then, there have been thousands of parades, speeches and statues commemorating Columbus, along with a critical rethinking of his life and legacy. But the question remains, how did a man who never set foot on North America get a federal holiday in his name? While Columbus did arrive in the "New World" when he cast anchor in the Bahamas, he never made it to the United States.

Excellent 4.3 /5 from 371 reviews
Nice, comfortable family room. However, the hotel has to look into Wifi acess for its guest! Wifi in the room was almost non-existent. We have to resort to seating near the reception area for wifi! Even so, the wifi was unstable. Not great if you are working in the room and are dependent on internet access!
Good location and nice room
Having the Tradies Club adjacent was fantastic for meals & drinks, particularly with the wet weather.
Business trip hotel is attached to the Dixon traders club with good meals and drinks, and a good range of restaurants across the road at the Dixon shops.
always a good fun time with the clubs attached. Great rooms and service.

I have a question on the valuation of trading stock.
The company acquired property, stock etc. in 2005. As a result of the purchase price, a negative goodwill was raised against the stock figure.As far as I understand, the Act mentions that stock should be valued incorporating general accepted accounting practice (section 22 (3A)).
My question is should I be excluding negative goodwill in my stock cost of sales?
Guy Patron
A negative goodwill seems to
indicate that the company acquired a business at a bargain price.
That being so, did the agreement
of sale stipulate separate amounts for each of the assets purchased in terms of
stock, m/vehicles, furniture etc.etc.
If so, I think that the amount
specified for stock acquired would represent the purchase price even if the
market value for the stock acquired was(at the time) significantly greater than
its cost to the company.
Also refer Broomberg on
Tax Strategy (Lexis Nexis 4th edition) Chapter 4 and in particular from
page 45 onwards.
Thank you for your opinion. The stock was property held for resale and each property was costed / valued individually.
I will look at the referred text book as well.
Thank you and regards

On 19 November, the infamous æBossÆ William Tweed of New York City was found guilty of stealing public funds. It is believed that Tweed and his cronies plundered the public purse of over $30, 000, 000. The reform movement made removing Tweed power one of its key goals. Tweed used fake leases, padded bills, false vouchers, and overpriced goods to steal money from New Yorkers. Through the hard work of Democrat Samuel Tilden, Tweed was brought up on charges of forgery and larceny. He was sentenced to two years. After his release, Tweed was rearrested and convicted on another set of charges. He died in jail in 1878.

We read with interest the article by Bucher et al1 and would like to address a couple of key issues related to the diagnosis of acute bacterial rhinosinusitis (ABRS) that we believe have substantial implications on the outcomes reported by the authors.
The most significant issue is that the criteria used for making the diagnosis of ABRS are not consistent with standards established by multiple organizations and in a large number of reports.2- 8 In 1996, the Rhinosinusitis Task Force of the American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery reported criteria for the diagnosis of ABRS.2,3 The diagnosis was made based on the time from the onset of symptoms and the number and type of symptoms present. Acute bacterial rhinosinusitis was defined as being sudden in onset, with persistent symptoms lasting for 10 days or worsening symptoms after 5 days. Major and minor clinical criteria were identified to make the diagnosis.2,3 In 1999, The US Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (now the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality) published their evidenced-based report, Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute Bacterial Rhinosinusitis,4,5 with the diagnosis of ABRS defined as lasting for a minimum of 7 days and less than 4 weeks.4,5 A number of subsequent guidelines and literature reviews have recommended similar lengths of time being required to make a diagnosis of ABRS, since infections that do not last a minimum of 7 days are highly likely to be caused by a virus rather than a bacterial pathogen, and bacterial growth can only be detected in 60% of adults with symptoms of 10-day duration or more.6- 9 This includes endorsement by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American College of Physicians–American Society of Internal Medicine, and the Infectious Disease Society of America.7,8

Inside the Game - Misleading Final Scores
While the scoreboard tells us who won and lost, it is important to look inside the game to see if there were any misleading final scores. We break down Week 4 in college football here.
Wisconsin 30 Michigan St. 6
Michigan St. outgained the Badgers 325-317 but four turnovers did the Spartans in. Wisconsin scored on a 66-yard fumble recovery while an interception set up another touchdown on a short field. Michigan St. had five drives of 46 yards or more and those resulted in just three points total.
Virginia Tech 54 East Carolina 17
East Carolina lost a second straight game despite playing better than the score shows. The Pirates were outgained by only 19 total yards against Virginia Tech but the Hokies opened the scoring with a punt return for a touchdown while East Carolina was just 3-17 on third and fourth down.
Wake Forest 33 Indiana 28
Indiana outgained the Demon Deacons 611-352 but Hoosiers quarterback Richard Lagow threw five interceptions, one which was returned for a touchdown while two others led to 10 points. Additionally, Indiana turned the ball over on downs twice inside the Wake Forest 30-yard line.
Vanderbilt 31 Western Kentucky 30
Western Kentucky won the yardage battle 496-389 but committed three costly turnovers all in Vanderbilt territory that wiped away 143 yards of offense. The Hilltoppers kicked a field goal with 1:02 left but Vanderbilt drove 75 yards for the tying touchdown with no time left and eventually won on a Western Kentucky missed two-point conversion.
Western Michigan 49 Georgia Southern 31
The Eagles were outgained by only 45 total yards but lost the turnover battle 4-0. Western Michigan scored a touchdown on a 70-yard interception return and recovered a fumble at the Western Kentucky 20-yard line which set up another touchdown. Additionally, the Broncos scored on a 100-yard kickoff return.
Buffalo 23 Army 20
Army won the time of possession by nearly 13 minutes, had a 21-13 first down edge and outgained Buffalo 444-265. The Black Knights blew a 14-point fourth quarter lead however had a chance to win the game but missed a 34-yard field goal at the end of regulation and missed a 43-yard field goal at the start of overtime.
Troy 52 New Mexico St. 6
Despite losing by 46 points, New Mexico St. won the yardage battle 539-492. The Aggies committed five turnovers and while those only led to 10 Troy points, all five took place in Trojans territory including three inside the redzone. Troy also had a blocked punt return for a touchdown and a 100-yard kickoff return for a score.
Idaho 33 UNLV 30
Despite losing in overtime, UNLV outgained the Vandals 539-378 but was unable to finish drives. Idaho opened the scoring by returning an interception 31 yards for a touchdown while the Rebels got into the Idaho redzone five times but had to settle for a field goal three times including one in the opening of overtime.
Arizona St. 51 California 41
California won the yardage battle 637-454 but committed three costly turnovers in the fourth quarter. With the game tied, Arizona St. turned the first one into a field goal while returning an interception for a touchdown two plays later. California drove 75 yards for a touchdown but the Sun Devils returned the ensuing onside kick for a touchdown.

Atlanta Falcons vs. New Orleans Saints | NO -2.5 O/U: 53.5
When: 8:30 PM ET, Monday, September 26, 2016
Where: Mercedes-Benz Superdome, New Orleans, Louisiana
The New Orleans Saints will commemorate one of the more noteworthy games in franchise history when they host the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night in a matchup of longtime NFC South rivals. It will mark the 10-year anniversary of the re-opening of the Superdome after the venue was forced to close for one season in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
While emotions certainly will not be as high as in New Orleans' win over Atlanta a decade ago, the Saints can use any edge to avoid an 0-3 start after dropping their first two games by a combined four points. "This is an important division game," said New Orleans coach Sean Payton, readily acknowledging the significance is far less than the game from 2006. "One team is 0-2 and trying to get a win, and another team that's 1-1." The Falcons rebounded from a 31-24 home loss to Tampa Bay in Week 1 with a 35-28 road win last week at Oakland, which squeezed out a 35-34 victory at New Orleans in the season opener.
ABOUT THE FALCONS (1-1): Matt Ryan had his fewest touchdown passes (21) since his rookie season in 2015, but he off to a fast start with 730 yards passing with five scores and one interception while leading the league with a 121.4 quarterback rating. There is cause for concern in the passing game with star wide receiver Julio Jones sitting out his second straight practice Friday due to a calf injury, but Atlanta coach Dan Quinn said he expects him to play. The Falcons are receiving solid production from the backfield tandem of Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman, who have combined for 181 rushing yards and 11 receptions. Atlanta's defense ranks 29th overall, allowing an average of 412.5 yards per game.
ABOUT THE SAINTS (0-2): New Orleans was horrendous on defense last season and little has changed -- it ranked 31st in the league with a staggering 451.5 yards surrendered and has been torched through the air for an average of 336.0 yards. Keeping the defense off the field would be easier if the Saints could crank up their running game, with lead back Mark Ingram producing 88 rushing yards on only 21 attempts, including nine carries in last week's 19-16 loss at the New York Giants. "From a rushing standpoint, I think we had some early positive runs, and all of a sudden we end up with the game over and only 13 rushing attempts (overall)," Payton said of the Week 2 loss. "I don't like the balance there." Quarterback Drew Brees has a potent receiving duo in Willie Snead and Brandon Cooks, who have combined for 27 catches and four touchdowns.

- Covers Team
- Pick:
- San Francisco
- Capper:
- Al McMordie
- Start:
- October 2, 2016 - 4:25 PM
- Offered at:
- sportsinteraction @ 3 -115 San Francisco
- Analysis:
In honor of Bo Derek, Al McMordie established his "PERFECT 10" CLUB. These 10* beauties are always backed by 100% PERFECT Situations and/or Systems. Here, Red-Hot (53-27 Last 80) Big Al's releasing a Perfect 10 Club play in NFL action out of a 15-0 Angle, which hasn't lost in 30 years. Get the 16th Straight Winner right now, and BUST your Book!
At 4:25 pm, on Sunday, our complimentary selection is on the San Francisco 49ers + the points over the Dallas Cowboys. After shutting out the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1, the 49ers' defense has sprung some leaks, and has given up 46 and 37 points the past two weeks. The knee-jerk reaction might be to play against the defensively-challenged 49ers, but consider that home underdogs are 63.4% ATS off a loss in which they failed to cover by more than a touchdown, if they gave up 37+ points in that defeat, and their opponent is off a straight-up win. San Francisco has gone 8-2-1 ATS at home vs. Dallas since 1980, while the Cowboys have covered just 48 of 123 on the road off a win, dating back to 1985. Take San Francisco. Good luck, as always…Al McMordie. And don't miss any of my red-hot winners, as I'm currently on a 53-27 RUN. Among our plays this week is a 100% Perfect 10 Club NFL play, backed by a 100%, 15-0 ATS System which hasn't lost in 30 years. Join for a week or month today to get all of our award-winning plays.

Thinster wallet
By Leather1948
from Riviera Beach, FL
I originally purchased this product in lavender. I loved the design but decided to get the black to match my wallet. I thought for sure it would have white stitching but instead it's black stitching. The white would sure make it pop but never the less it's still a very nice item.
Excellent, excellent, excellent
By PhoneticFanatic
from Boynton Beach, FL
I was going to buy this in black, and then when it came in the seasonal color of purple, I just couldn't resist! I needed a thin wallet for my clutch purse (for luncheons and events), and this is just perfect. ID window for my license, slots for my credit cards, and a middle pocket for folded cash. Absolutely beautiful!!
Thinster is Perfect
By BytheSalishSea
from Undisclosed
This little item can pack in quite a bit. I keep my drivers license, AAA card, mandatory insurance card, folding $, debit card, 2 credit cards and 3 shopping member cards in my red thinster. I very rarely need to fish out my big wallet from the bottom of my purse and the thinster fits perfectly in a purse pocket making acess at the checkout counter very easy. Really cuts down on the fumbling and searching through my purse. Love it!
By SusM2
from PA
It surprises me that I see only been one review for this fabulous wallet. I bought mine last year and every time I handle it a smile comes to my face. The leather feels wonerful to touch, the design is great and the color wonderful (red). I have arthritic figures and this is the only wallet I have that I can easily remove and relpace my cards with ease. The slanted design makes each card visible, no more hunting to see which card is which.Thanks Levenger.
Great Travel Accessory
By Staff
from Delray Beach, FL

Easily fits into any bag or front pocket of your travel bag to quickly access those frequently needed items. Ideal for travel or everyday use. Extra deep pocket is great for storing receipts or cash.

ATLANTIC CITY - In the end, the Revel ball did not roll off the tower into the ocean, and no buyer emerged in the middle of the night to save the day.
Instead, Revel merely unraveled through the night to an anticlimactic pre-dawn closing of its moribund casino floor. Employees of Ivan Kane's Royal Jelly Burlesque Nightclub held a stubbornly spirited after party as remaining on-duty dealers watched from emptying tables, waiting to inventory final stacks of chips.
One supervisor put fingers to his own head like a gun and rolled his eyes. An off-duty employee walked around barefoot. A bartender went in for a long private apology to a burlesque dancer.

Photos: Tim Bradley Training in Beast Mode For Marquez
By Chris Robinson
HustleBoss.com/BoxingScene.com steps inside of the Boys and Girls Club in Indio, Calif. as WBO welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (30-0, 12 KO's) trains for his upcoming HBO pay per view clash with Juan Manuel Marquez on October 12th at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.
[QUOTE=Light_Speed;13654563]I thought the same thing. He's got that glassy eyed, sleepy look, and he speaks a lot more slowly than he used to, needs more time to gather his thoughts.
