American Gunfight is the fast-paced, definitive, and breathtakingly suspenseful account of an extraordinary historical event -- the attempted assassination of President Harry Truman in 1950 by two Puerto Rican Nationalists and the bloody shoot-out in the streets of Washington, D.C., that saved the president's life.
Written by Pulitzer Prize-winner Stephen Hunter, the widely admired and bestselling novelist and author of such books as Havana, Hot Springs, and Dirty White Boys, and John Bainbridge, Jr., an experienced journalist and lawyer, American Gunfight is at once a groundbreaking work of meticulous historical research and the vivid and dramatically told story of an act of terrorism that almost succeeded. They have pieced together, at last, the story of the conspiracy that nearly doomed the president and how a few good men -- ordinary guys who were willing to risk their lives in the line of duty -- stopped it.
It is a book about courage -- on both sides -- and about what politics and devotion to a cause can lead men to do, and about what actually happens, second by second, when a gunfight explodes.
It begins on November 1, 1950, an unseasonably hot afternoon in the sleepy capital. At 2:00 P.M. in his temporary residence at Blair House, the president of the United States takes a nap. At 2:20 P.M., two men approach Blair House from different directions. Oscar Collazo, a respected metal polisher and family man, and Griselio Torresola, an unemployed salesman, don't look dangerous, not in their new suits and hats, not in their calm, purposeful demeanor, not in their slow, unexcited approach. What the three White House policemen and one Secret Service agent cannot guess is that under each man's coat is a 9mm German automatic pistol and in each head, a dream of assassin's glory.
At point-blank range, Collazo and then Torresola draw and fire and move toward the president of the United States.
Hunter and Bainbridge tell the story of that November day with narrative power and careful attention to detail. They are the first to report on the inner workings of this conspiracy; they examine the forces that led the perpetrators to conceive the plot. The authors also tell the story of the men themselves, from their youth and the worlds in which they grew up to the women they loved and who loved them to the moment the gunfire erupted. Their telling commemorates heroism -- the quiet commitment to duty that in some moments of crisis sees some people through an ordeal, even at the expense of their lives.

Review of Hunter
As. Usual Hunter gives insights into motivations that drive people to do drastic things. This incident has hung in the back of my mind. I was so young at the time the the facts were very sketchy in mind. Hunter almost has too much info here. The Third Bullet was an easier read.by Kevin Canwell on March 23, 2014

Say goodbye to appliance installers and repairmen! When today's consumers buy new stoves, refrigerators and other major appliances, the usual choice isn't an installation contractor, but a home improvement or electronics warehouse store, which simply delivers the unit to the front door. Arranging for installation is now the homeowner's responsibility. Installing the appliance themselves is the choice of increasing numbers of homeowners purchasing appliances in this way. For some appliances, DIY installation can cut the cost of an appliance by more than 50%. And equal cost-savings is achieved by the homeowner who is able to perform basic maintenance and repair tasks themselves. DIY Guide to Appliances is a comprehensive guide to installing and performing basic maintenance on all major household appliances, including washers and dryers, refrigerators, garbage disposers, dishwashers, water heaters, ovens, ranges and more. Perfect companion book for homeowners buying appliances from warehouse stores Includes complete installation instructions Repair and maintenance instructions can save homeowners thousands of dollarsONE OF THE BEST THINGS ABOUT OWNING A GAS FURNACE IS THAT THEY ARE SO POPULAR THAT finding information, parts, and materials to maintain them is relatively easy. Plus, most local gas suppliers employ service technicians anbsp;...

Financial Adapter®
Universal Interface Tool for Importing / Exporting your SAP TRM Data
Treasury experts all over the world are using it
Your goals
Seamless Data Transfer
As an investment manager, a treasurer or even a debt managing division in your company, you must be able to guarantee data exchange to and from your TRM system such as:
- Market data import (Bloomberg, Reuters etc.)
- Master data import (Bloomberg, Reuters etc.)
- Import of SWIFT transaction messages
- Import of all fund data for consolidation
- Realtime synchronized of front and back office systems
Minimization of maintenance and operation costs
Data from diverse sources must be integrated. To do so, specialist departments frequently use individual interfaces which must always be kept up-to-date. For the company this usually generates considerable maintenance and staff costs which are not required with a standard solution.
Our solution
The COMPIRICUS Financial Adapter® is a universal interface solution for importing and exporting TRM data. It enables the simultaneous connection of several application systems to SAP TRM, both - quickly and efficiently. High implementation costs are not required because it is a standard adapter.
Thoroughly tested and proven in practice
Prestigious insurance companies (e.g. AXA, VHV Group) and industrial companies (e.g. STATOIL) have implemented our Financial Adapter® on 120 interfaces and now benefit from the advantages it provides to their business:
- Cost efficiency, since all imports and exports run on one platform
- High data quality and stable application, since the product is thoroughly technically matured and proven
- Investment security
Multitalent for the creation and management of interfaces
With the Financial Adapter®, you are able to connect different source and target systems to your SAP TRM at the same time:
- External market and master data providers / systems
- Investment and custodian banks
- External databanks
Comprehensive supply of data
The Financial Adapter® ensures the supply of financial data which are required in modern capital investment management:
- Market data: Exchange rates, currencies, reference interest rates, SWAP rates and volatilities
- Master data: Partners, investments (incl. Solvency II, statutory reporting, call and redemption schedules etc.)
- Transaction data: All major Transactions for SAP TRM's asset categories are supported, corporate actions, payments, manual accounting entries
- Position classifications
Important interfaces already exist
Our Financial Adapter® represents the core element in the interface landscapes of several international companies. We have already integrated the following systems to SAP TRM:
- Allocare AMS (trademark of Allocare AG, Altishofen)
- Bloomberg AIM (registered trademark of Bloomberg L.P)
- Bloomberg Data License™
- Reuters DataScope Select™ (trademark of Thomson Reuters Canada Ltd.)
- SimCorp Dimension® (either a registered trademark or a trademark of SimCorp A/S in Denmark and/or other countries)
- SunGard Asset Arena and AvantGard Quantum (trademarks or registered trademarks of SunGard Data Systems Inc. or its subsidiaries in the U.S.)
- SWIFT (protected as trade name and registered trademark in many countries)
- Technosis ATAQ
- 360T™ (trademark of 360 Treasury Systems AG)
Your benefits
- One for all: Rapid implementation of several interfaces with one software only
- Fully automatic data importing and exporting to and from SAP TRM
- Investment security through the easy connection of new systems
- Flexible and stable interfaces
- Reduction in manual input
- Protection of important resources

Qiagen and WuXi Join Forces to Support Biomarker Development in Asia
Qiagen Asia Pacific and WuXi AppTec forged a pact to provide a single solution for molecular biomarker development, validation, and personalized healthcare targets to their respective clients. Qiagen will supply a complete portfolio of instrumentation, training, and consumables, and WuXi AppTec will provide laboratory facilities and staff to execute the services. The laboratory will be located at WuXi AppTec's campus in Shanghai and will begin operating immediately.
Under the terms of the agreement, WuXi AppTec will also help Qiagen develop biomarkers, assay panels, molecular diagnostics, and other new products. WuXi AppTec will use Qiagen's technologies to support the company's and Qiagen's customers' drug discovery and development efforts.
Qiagen has developed and markets over 500 sample and assay products as well as automated solutions for consumables. The company provides its products to molecular diagnostics laboratories, academic researchers, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, and applied testing customers for purposes such as forensics, animal or food testing, and pharmaceutical process control. Qiagen's assay technologies include the digeneHPV Test for testing high-risk types of HPV.
The alliance creates the first laboratory of its kind in Asia, according to Victor Shi, president, Qiagen Asia Pacific, equipped with a standardized, fully integrated, automated sample and assay technology for drug discovery, development, and molecular diagnostics. "We believe that this partnership is a significant milestone in providing high-quality and complete automated solutions for the molecular biomarker testing industry," he notes.
The partnership with WuXi AppTec follows Qiagen's recent acquisitions of DxS and SABiosciences to pad its offerings in the biomarker and personalized medicine field. Qiagen also recently opened its Asia headquarters in Shanghai's Zhangjiang High-Technology Park. Qiagen began its expansion into Asia in 2005 and currently maintains 10 offices in China, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, and India. Including the subsidiary in Japan, these Asian operations currently contribute approximately 13% to the firm's overall net sales, Qiagen notes.

Target: Jim Atchison, CEO of SeaWorld
Goal: Demand that SeaWorld discontinue the use of psychoactive drugs on orcas
As if being forced to a life in captivity isn't enough to bear, there is even more evidence showing the mistreatment of orcas at SeaWorld. According to recent documents released in a lawsuit against the company, trainers have been giving the orcas a psychoactive drug to battle their aggressive behavior towards each other. Animal activist groups argue that the drugs are likely being used because of their stress-induced violence that is the result of living in captivity. The orcas also exhibit evidence of their negative state of mental health through abnormal and repetitive behaviors such as self-mutilation and chewing on concrete. Rather than solving these issues by providing more space for these animals or even releasing them to a sanctuary, SeaWorld covers the issues with unnecessary, harmful drugs.
Long term use of these drug can cause adverse effects on physical, mental, and cognitive health and can even add to orcas' already unusual violent behaviors. Adult orcas are not the only ones being affected by these drugs. There are also reports of the use of these drugs on nursing females, though veterinarians say it is not meant for use on pregnant or nursing females because it may cause birth defects.
SeaWorld recently released a statement claiming their use of these drugs are "limited, infrequent, and only clinically indicated based on assessment by a veterinarian," and despite the recent exposure from the media, they claim to always treat their animals well and keep their conservation as a priority. Demand that the company take responsibility for the orcas' well-being and start properly addressing the issues that stem from them living in captivity, rather than giving them drugs to deal with these issues.
By signing this petition, you will demand that SeaWorld discontinue the use of psychoactive drugs on orcas and adequately address the issues that relate to them living in captivity.
Dear Jim Atchison,
It is well past time for your company to take responsibility for your orcas' well-being and start properly addressing the issues that stem from them living in captivity. The recent documents that revealed SeaWorld trainers giving orcas the psychoactive drug benzodiazepine to battle their aggressive behavior is not only an outrage, but evidence of the orcas' negative state of mental health. This mistreatment has been taken even further by the use of these drugs on nursing orcas, despite the ominous warning of birth defects by veterinarians.
The orcas exhibit unusual violence towards each other and abnormal and repetitive behaviors such as self-mutilation and chewing on concrete that are very likely caused from living in captivity. These animals require a large surface area in order to thrive mentally, physically, and cognitively, and giving them psychoactive drugs will only ultimately add their issues. Please address the issues that relate to them living in captivity instead of covering the issues with cruel drug therapy.
Your further consideration for the well-being of these creatures is necessary for their conservation. Please discontinue the use of psychoactive drugs on orcas at SeaWorld and properly address the issues that relate to them living in captivity.

Researcher and author Robert Howells has spent the last twenty years investigating the history of conspiracy theories, and secret societies and in the latter half, he talked about how old secret societies were driven by the same impulse as Anonymous and WikiLeaks are today.

I can't comment on the quality of the product because I never received it and I never got a refund for the money that I spent on this site. Essentially this company took my money and gave me nothing in return. I am highly dissatisfied and the customer service department won't bother to send my order or reply to my messages. I will never order from this site again and will never recommend this site to anyone.

Drug task force arrests 28
BOE supports pay raise resolution
ELKINS-The Randolph County Board of Education voted unanimously Monday to support a resolution seeking better pay for all school employees.
Matthew McCarty, from the West Virginia Education Association told the Randolph BOE Monday the resolution is pushing for raises for the employees by the next school year.
Currently the average salary for teachers in West Virginia is $45,453, according to WVEA statistics, which is nearly $20,000 less than neighboring states like Maryland, and Pennsylvania. More than 1,500 students graduated from colleges in West Virginia into the education field last year and only 400 of them were employed in schools in the Mountain State, McCarty said.
"The average salary for teachers in West Virginia dropped from 30th (out of the 50 states) in 1993 to 48th in 2013," said McCarty. "This resolution is to ensure a competitive salary for educators."
Board member Ed Tyre said he supported the resolution whole-heartedly and urged the other board members to vote in favor of it.
Also at Monday's meeting:
-Robbie Morris, executive director of the Randolph County Development Authority, presented plaques to Elkins Middle School and Third Ward Elementary School that were donated by the Wood Technology Center in Elkins to commemorate each facility's School Building Authority renovation.
– Brad Smith, director of finance for Randolph County Schools, gave the BOE an update on the Affordable Care Act and how it relates to the school system. Smith said that schools will be using a "safe harbor" method, which helps calculate time worked for employees, to determine insurance eligibility.
"For example, if a substitute is called in for a day, we will put them down for eight hours worked," said Smith. "Those that average 30 hours will qualify for insurance."
Smith said that under this system six or seven substitutes will qualify for health care benefits through the BOE.
"The biggest thing for us is to make sure that we comply (with the federal regulations)," Smith said. "Following the regulations will prevent us from facing hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines."
Tyler Louk, a student from Tygarts Valley High School, gave a presentation on his school's new facilities and the renovations made recently.
Louk said that an alumnus donated $20,000, which was used to install a new floor for the school's gymnasium, and provide groundswork and beautification projects around the campus.
Louk also talked about how the school recently converted its library to a full-fledged media center, replacing all of the school's books with a database called E-books, which allows students to go online and have access to books digitally.

Good to know. Thanks, Matt!

Son of ex-police chief wins $110,000 settlement
BRATTLEBORO The son of a former Vermont police chief has won a $110,000 settlement after suing the Ohio state patrol for excessive force almost a decade ago.
Eugene Wrinn, of Guilford, said he was disoriented after a 2005 crash and couldnt understand an officers instructions to stay in his vehicle.
A court announcement Tuesday said Wrinn was hit in the head with a flashlight, had a stun gun used on him and was kicked in the legs.
Wrinn said he was hospitalized with injuries, including head trauma, and ran up more than $30,000 in bills.
Wrinn is the son of the former Brattleboro police chief who retired in June. Ohio Highway Patrol spokesman Lt. Craig Cvetan says both parties came to an agreement and the Highway Patrol will be honoring that agreement.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Both major candidates for Vermont governor have places they dont want to go for...

Homeland Security:
Critical Design and Implementation Issues
GAO-02-957T: Published: Jul 17, 2002. Publicly Released: Jul 17, 2002.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-4800
The government faces a unique opportunity to create an organization that is extremely effective in protecting the nation's borders and citizens against terrorism. There is likely to be considerable benefit over time from restructuring some of the homeland security functions, including reducing risk and improving the economy, efficiency, and effectiveness of consolidated agencies and programs. Sorting out those programs and agencies that would most benefit from consolidation versus those in which dual missions must be balanced in order to achieve a more effective fit in the proposed Department of Homeland Security is a difficult but critical task. Moreover, the magnitude of the challenges that the new department faces will clearly require substantial time and effort, and it will take institutional continuity and additional resources to be fully effective. In the short term, issues to be resolved include the harmonization of communication systems, information technology systems, human capital systems, the physical location of people and other assets, and other factors. Given the magnitude of this task, not everything can be achieved at once, and a deliberate phasing of some operations will be necessary. The new department will need to articulate a clear overarching mission and core values, establish a short list of initial critical priorities, develop effective communication and information systems, and produce an overall implementation plan for the new national strategy and related reorganization. Effective performance and risk management systems must also be established, and threat and vulnerability assessments must be completed.

What will Technology be like in 2025?
2025 seems like a long time off. Customer Communication experts might expect thousands of contextually-driven ultra-personalized messages to reach recipients at exactly the time they are needed in a communication utopia. Nobody can predict exactly what the future will be like, but certainly more communications will be delivered via a host of new devices. Many customer communications will be integrated into cars, clothes, glasses or other interesting places. These devices may use new types of quantum processors and new memory that makes today's fastest technology look like a clunky 1990's PDA (Personal Digital Assistant).
A Radical Change in Technology for Customer Communications
Today's smart devices have screens, speakers, microphones, NFC (Near Field Communication) capabilities, fingerprint readers, Wi- Fi, Bluetooth, lights, location, moisture, light, motion, and other sensors. These sensors constantly become cheaper, more powerful, and more tolerant to environmental extremes, enabling the creation of new devices that send new types of information. By 2025, this information could be used to, for example, share experiences with friends with striking realism. And it will generate a lot of data for corporations to store, manage, and mine to connect with customers in new ways and realize new value.
New Forms of Digital Communications for Business
Today, we communicate via paper-based mail, smart phones, tablets, and desktop and laptop computers across a variety of third-party services, social networks, and business networks. Consumers have been experimenting with wearable fitness trackers for a few years. The early adopters are already sharing immersive 3D experiences. Many of us are on Snapchat, Instagram or Periscope and engaging in new image and video communications. In 2025 years, there will be new social networks along with more apps and connected devices. The information exchanged will flex to best fit these channels and the context within which they are used.
New Services to Connect Customers, Devices and Customer Data
As we consider future communications, it is not far-fetched to imagine that the average consumer will have five or more personal, connected devices. Several of these devices will always be available. And the Internet of Things (IoT) will likely add additional sensors that communicate with these devices. There will be new services that bridge people, devices, and data across new media. The form factor and capabilities of the devices we use will impact how people communicate as well as what they consider to be important. As you imagine your place in the world of 2025, you need to imagine a business that is friendly to new types of technology. You cannot escape concerns of privacy and security, but you will not survive with restrictive policies that favor slow adoption. Technology is moving faster than the 12-month budget planning cycle, so you need a business that is built to absorb new technologies on their release schedules.
Low Tolerance for Information Overload
People will still use water and electricity in 2025, but no one will want to receive a haptic feedback notification each time someone turns on a light or runs the tap. For most consumers, a once-a-month bill will be sufficient. And while there will be more connected refrigerators, who wants to be notified each time a yogurt hits its expiration date? A consumer might appreciate a warning that a red sock has slipped in with the whites on laundry day, but they don't want to know when the spin cycle began in their laundry machines. In 2025, people won't tolerate oversharing. Some services just don't warrant a high level of mindshare.
Unsatisfied Customers Going Viral Faster
Individual consumers have wildly different expectations for communications. Consumers have a wide range on their preference for the amount of detail that is available to them on bills and other statements. Some banking customers feel comforted to receive a confirmation for every transaction. Certain consumers prefer long, sortable lists of transactions. Others prefer a more graphical presentation of information. In 2025, unhappy customers will take their bad experiences viral faster than ever. They'll turn a corporate communication failure into a new meme that pervades hundreds of social networks and billions of potential customers just by shouting something from their brand new 360-degree 3D videocasting device.
The Right Communications to the Right Customer in the Right Quantity
As you build your business to communicate in the next decade, consider how you will manage to communicate with the right frequency, intensity, and style. The technology will be there to communicate across all of the channels constantly. Considerate businesses that resist the temptation to over-communicate will create the strongest bonds with customers.
