London, United Kingdom, 21 November 2012 - A new report from the World Bank, IFC, and PwC finds that governments continue to reform their tax systems despite global economic uncertainty, with 31 economies having taken steps from June last year through May 2012 to make it easier and cost less for small and medium businesses to pay taxes.
Released today, the Paying Taxes 2013 study looks at tax regimes in 185 economies and finds that the most common tax reform is the introduction or improvement of online systems for tax compliance, which occurred in 16 economies.
"Electronic filing and payment reduces paperwork and complexity in tax systems and can help increase tax compliance and reduce the cost of tax administration," said Augusto Lopez Claros, Director, Global Indicators and Analysis, World Bank Group. "The report finds that over the last several years there has been a gradual reduction in the number of payments and in the number of hours spent by a medium-sized company to comply with its tax obligations. This reduction across all regions of the world in the burden of tax administration is a welcome development."
The report finds that on average a medium company pays a Total Tax Rate of 44.7 percent of profits, making 27.2 payments, and spending 267 hours to comply with its tax requirements. In the eight years since the study began, the time to comply has fallen by 54 hours, almost seven working days, and the number of payments has declined by more than six, while the Total Tax Rate has fallen nearly 1 percent for each year.
"We are seeing tension between the need for governments to raise tax revenue and at the same time provide a system that encourages economic activity and growth," said Andrew Packman, a tax partner at PwC UK. "Governments seeking to create a more business-friendly tax climate need to focus not only on rates, but also on minimising the time and effort needed to comply."
An economic analysis undertaken by PwC senior economic adviser Andrew Sentence and featured in the report shows that in economies where action was taken to reduce complexity in tax administration – both in terms of the number of payments and the time taken to deal with tax matters – there has tended to be higher economic growth.
Reforms continue around the world. However, the report finds that the number of economies reforming has fallen from 35 last year to 31 in the most recent study. The focus continues to be on reducing the administrative burden of the tax system. In 2011, the time to comply fell by an 8-hour day and the number of payments dropped by almost two, while the Total Tax Rate fell by only 0.3 percent.
Paying Taxes 2013 measures all mandatory taxes and contributions that a medium-sized firm must pay in a given year. Taxes and contributions measured include the profit or corporate income tax, social contributions and labour taxes paid by the employer, property taxes, property transfer taxes, dividend tax, capital gains tax, financial transactions tax, waste collection taxes, vehicle and road taxes, and other small taxes or fees.
The World Bank Group is one of the world's largest sources of funding and knowledge for developing countries. It comprises five closely associated institutions: the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Development Association (IDA), the International Finance Corporation (IFC); the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA); and the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID). Each institution plays a distinct role in the mission to fight poverty and improve living standards for people in the developing world.

Samantha Ronson Gets Litigious
Samantha Ronson has more going on her life than enabling Lindsay Lohan because she's in love and wants to keep her by her side in anyway she can. Look, we've all been there. You've got a mad-on for someone who doesn't feel the same way about you but does like either sleeping with you or hanging with you or doing drugs with you. Desperation isn't pretty, and self-delusion is easy. I'm telling you, when Lohan calls this off – it's going to be the Night of 1000 Knives up in Villa. Samantha's going to start spinning while covered in blood and dedicating the Violent Femmes' "Country Death Song" and Johnny Cash's "Delia's Dead" to Lohan over and over while banging her head off the turntables. Lesbians don't f*ck around.
Samantha is suing the lawyers she hired to sue Perez Hilton for her. Ronson hired Davis & Gilbert after Perez Hilton claimed that she had a hand in Lohan's May 2007 car crash. DJ Sammy says that the firm overcharged her and didn't handle the case correctly. The defamation suit against Hilton was dismissed.
In return, Davis & Gilbert is suing HER and claiming she owes them $164,000 in unpaid fees. She better start spinning at better-paying gigs!

There are currently no validated methods for predicting clinical course in Crohn's disease (CD). We hypothesized that disease course in CD would correlate with differing gene expression profiles from the affected colon at diagnosis.
Colon biopsies and serum were obtained from nine children with CD at diagnosis, five children with a history of active CD despite treatment (refractory) and eight healthy controls. RNA was prepared from colon biopsies and gene expression was determined using the Affymetrix Human Genome U133 array, with analysis performed using GeneSpring™ software. Serum cytokine levels were measured using the Bioplex™ assay. A retrospective chart review was performed to gather demographic and clinical data.
Age, sex, disease distribution, endoscopic severity, and biochemical data did not differ between CD patients at diagnosis and the treatment refractory group. Serum IL-6 and activation of the IL-6 dependent transcription factor, STAT3, were up regulated in both CD groups compared to controls. Moreover, gene array analysis revealed that STAT3 target genes including CXCL chemokines, MMPs, and factors which regulate cell proliferation and survival were up regulated in both groups. The treatment refractory group additionally exhibited up regulation of a broad array of immune and tissue remodeling networks involving CCL chemokines, TLRs, eotaxin, and multiple collagen subtypes. Five patients at diagnosis had gene expression profiles similar to the broad immune activation seen in treatment refractory CD. Patients with the refractory profile at diagnosis were more likely to have higher serum IL-8 and IL-1β levels and to be steroid dependent during the first year after diagnosis.
Distinct serum cytokine and colon gene array profiles at diagnosis may be associated with different clinical courses in children with CD. If confirmed by a larger ongoing study, this may allow for more targeted therapy in patients likely to have a refractory course.

Bad news for Chris Brown fans: he hit another woman this weekend.
Fortunately, it was a car accident. However, the hit-and-run incident could trigger a violation of his probation and lead to Breezy ending up in the slammer.
The accident took place in LA and TMZ reports that Chris gave the woman in the other car major attitude when she asked for his ID afterwards. He reportedly refused to provide his driver's license number and then gave her incorrect insurance information.

Unfortunately for Chris, he's still on probation for assaulting Rihanna. If he broke the law by leaving the scene without fully disclosing information, that would be a direct violation of his probation and he could potentially end up in prison for the next four years.
All of this is ultimately taking attention away from his music as well. He's scheduled to release his latest single today, "They Don't Know", which features previously unheard vocals from the late singer Aaliyah.
Of course, his personal life is still as busy (and dramatic) as ever too. Just three weeks after splitting up from Rihanna, his girlfriend du jour Karrueche Tran has reportedly moved into his Hollywood Hills mansion with him.
Do you think Chris will face any legal consequences for his hit-and-run?

Division One side Nakuru AllStars has handed over junior side Coach Peter Okidi the reigns of the senior team.
Okidi had in the past season been in charge of the team's 'B' side, during which time he led it to the provincial league.
Receiving the baton, from Simeon Mulama, who left the team towards the end of the past season, Okidi says he believes he is up to task and promises to help the team achieve its objectives for the season.
-After working with the team towards the end of last season, I came to understand this team, and the Division One league as a whole. It is a new challenge, and I always welcome challenges, meaning I will use this opportunity to try and see that we always achieve reaching the goals we set. We will work as a unit, together with the other coaches, and the players as well, Okidi told the club's official website.
More changes
In other changes, former AllStars C coach, Jimmy Angila has been promoted to AllStars B, replacing Okidi.

Cassidy Slams HIV Rumors
Rapper Cassidy has lashed out at rumors he's HIV positive amid allegations he passed on the virus to a female fan.
The Hotel hit-maker, real name Barry Reese, hit the headlines last week after an unidentified woman from his native Philadelphia, Pennsylvania claimed she had contracted HIV after having unprotected sex with the star on several occasions.
However, Cassidy has blasted the reports, insisting he is "perfectly healthy" and has no idea who the young woman is.
In a post on his Twitter.com page, he writes, "Stopactinstupid! (sic) I don't even know that lil girl... I only f**k with pretty girls... and I still don't go raw (have unprotected sex). I'm sick with it, but not like that! That b**ch probably mad she not my type (sic). I'm perfectly healthy, so it can't be true."

Jersey 1.2 is released
By sandoz on May 10, 2010
We have just released version 1.2 of Jersey, the open source, production quality, reference implementation of JAX-RS. The JAX-RS 1.1 specification is available at the JCP web site and also available in non-normative HTML here.
For an overview of JAX-RS features read the Jersey user guide. To get started with Jersey read the getting started section of that guide. To understand more about what Jersey depends on read the dependencies section of that guide. See change log here.
The main driver for this release is basic OSGi support. This has been hard work as Jakub will testify. Most of Jakub's time was spent on testing.
Currently only the jersey-core, jersey-server, jersey-client and jersey-json modules have been made OSGi aware (the other modules will be completed in the next release). The following deployment scenarios work. Deploying using Grizzly or Jetty with the OSGi HTTP service (see osgi-http-service sample) and deploying OSGi war-bundles to Jetty (see helloworld-osgi-webapp sample). Deployment requires that root resource and provider classes are explicitly declared (the next release will hopefully support package scanning).
For the next release, 1.3, Jersey will only work on Java SE 6 or greater.

Microsoft (MSFT) shares closed recently at $28, the upper-bound of its narrow range after reporting quarterly earnings. Strong enterprise software sales and healthy demand for its office product helped comfort shareholders, but investors are focused primarily on evidence of higher sales for its tablets and smartphones. Most importantly, investors are looking for evidence that Windows 8 software sales will keep growing steadily. There are 6 things to look at from Microsoft's quarterly earnings.
1) Multi-year Software Licensing Offsets Mobile
Record revenues of $22 billion were supported by multi-year licensing agreements from enterprise customers. The long-term software commitments from customers also helped the company earn $0.81 per share in the quarter. Microsoft refreshed its server software to Windows Server 2012 and System Center 2012. Multi-year licensing revenue grew 17% in the second quarter.
In Q4 (2012), Microsoft grew its market share in Windows Phone 8 to 3%, up from 1.8%. In 2013, lower growth rates for sales for Windows Phone 8, in partnership with Nokia (NOK), could shake investor confidence. In its last quarter, some of the sales were limited by a lack of supply to meet demand. This quarter, rising competition from Google's (GOOG) Nexus 4 could be expected, as device shortages are now resolved. BlackBerry's (BBRY) successful launch of the BlackBerry 10 will also put pressure on Microsoft's ability to sell its mobile device in the enterprise space in the quarters ahead.
2) Cloud Road Map Intact
A possible IPO by Dropbox illustrates the importance and the demand for cloud storage. Microsoft has a cloud road map in place, which supports an infrastructure hosted in both the cloud and in the data center. Azure, SQL Server, Skype, and Yammer are only a few of the products that have brand recognition that would support a growing customer base.
3) Cross-Integration of Windows 8
A seamless experience across Xbox 360, Windows Phone, Windows 8, and cloud services could appeal to users. In the second quarter, revenue from the Windows division grew 11%. This could increase the appeal of the tablet, which would offset the high price and limited battery life of Windows Surface Pro that could limit sales.
4) Weak PC Segment
Revenue from the consumer segment declined 2% during the quarter due to a weak PC market. In the entertainment division, revenue dropped 2%. Despite the decline, Halo 4 was launched successfully when it was launched in November 2012. Bundling the game with the console also helped increase Xbox sales by 750,000 units in the last week of November 2012 alone. To-date, 7.34 million copies of Halo 4 have already been sold.
5) Windows Phone
Microsoft said its smartphone sales were 4 times higher than a year ago. In 2013, the company will be expanding its product line-up, and support the growth by increasing retail distribution and capacity.
6) Marketing Costs Grew
Due to new product launches, Microsoft increased marketing costs by 10%, or to $8 billion. For the full fiscal year, Microsoft expects expenses to be $30.3 billion to $30.9 billion.
Upside for Microsoft shares could continue to be held back because of greater investor interest for companies exposed to the growth of mobile devices. Nokia and BlackBerry are outperforming Microsoft by a wide-margin over a 6-month period:
(Data Source: Yahoo Finance)
Strong demand for business offerings from Microsoft continue to be unrecognized by the market. BI ("Business Intelligence") that is offered through the combination of SQL Server, SharePoint, and Excel continue to drive strong sales for software. It also encourages multi-year licensing. A combination of consistent cash flow from these sales and the end of Windows XP support in 2014 makes Microsoft undervalued.

For the first time in recent memory, several Clovis churches will join together to celebrate what many Christians call the birth of the Church — Pentecost Sunday.
"Since this is the first time we've done it, we want to get it right," said the Rev. Lemuel Perry, pastor of Bethel Assembly of God, who was helping to coordinate the event. "I've been part of one in a couple of other cities — in Colorado Springs and in Phoenix. We get so caught up in our local thing without looking outside and seeing what's going on. We discover, 'Hey, there are other Christians not worshiping in this building.' "
At least eight Pentecostal/Charismatic-type congregations will gather for a Pentecost Sunday Celebration at 6 p.m. June 8 at Faith Christian Family Church, 3401 N. Norris St., the corner of Llano Estacado and Norris.
"Lemuel Perry suggested it, and we thought it was a great idea," said the Rev. David Swann, senior pastor at Faith Christian Family Church. "We want to start doing it annually. It's an opportunity for churches to get together and celebrate the birthday of the Church and the Holy Spirit's entrance into all believers starting with the day of Pentecost."
The celebration of Pentecost, which is a Jewish feast occurring 50 days after Passover, is based on the New Testament passage described in Acts 2.
"To me, it's the third most important event in Christianity (after the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus and the birth of Christ)," Swann said.
"Pentecost is the birth of the Church," Perry said. "Those first disciples needed some impetus to get them going. There on Pentecost Sunday, it really got them going. It gave them the impetus to evangelize the world."
The Rev. Jonathan Brock, pastor of True Victory Church, said his congregation was looking forward to participating in the joint service.
"We're coming together to celebrate Pentecost Sunday," he said. "It's just like the prophet Joel prophesied and was quoted by Peter on Pentecost Day: 'And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: and on my servants and handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy' (Acts 2:17-18).
"I'm looking for some miracles to take place, for people to get saved and to get filled with the Holy Spirit," he said.
Perry said he hoped the event would bring about harmony and unity, not division.
"In the New Testament, it was a bringing together," he said. "Our church world is so divided, so many denominations. In Ireland, the Pentecostal experience can bring Catholics and Protestants together — and in South Africa as well. The Azusa Street Revival of 1906-1909 was interdenominational, inter-racial and international. People came from all over the world just to experience it. It was exciting."
All faiths are welcome to attend the June 8 event, Perry said.
"Our purpose is not to divide, but to bring together," he said. "We don't want the extremes, but we do want the reality."

Hey everyone!
As we said in our previous post we would change our plans if not enough teams signed up. That was the case, so moving forward we are changing our plans and will instead host an individual event using the same maps we have received.
The first play-day will still be this upcoming Saturday, and we will announce more information about it this upcoming week!

The BJP high command has been saved by the bell of rahukala, with B.S. Yediyurappa relenting and walking to the Raj Bhavan to submit his resignation following his indictment by the Lok Ayukta in the illegal mining scam. For a party which wanted Yediyurappa to go before Parliament began its monsoon session, this is not a small gain.
However, events from the moment Yediyurappa was asked to step down have caused severe ruptures in the "party with a difference", showing it to be merely a party with differences. On the one hand, there was the unseemly spectacle of the Yediyurappa camp defying the BJP bosses and playing hardball for three if not four days.
And, on the other hand, there is the very large, even if local, damage that Yediyurappa's demands and conditions for vacating office has caused. There are now clearly two, if not three, camps within the party and it is clear that whoever the BJP legislature party elects on Wednesday, there is further trouble in store, later if not sooner.
Coming as all this does with the countdown to the 2013 assembly elections, the questions are obvious: has the BJP emerged stronger or weaker after this blood-letting? Have the troubles in the BJP ended with Yediyurappa's resignation, or have they only just begun?
And, above all, after this show of strength of "70 MLAs", will the "loyal and disciplined soldier of the sangh" fight the next election under the BJP symbol? Or will he bide his time, and form his own party ("Karnataka Janata Party", as is rumoured) as the elections draw near? And will he taste success?

Sirius Backseat TV
Does anyone know if Sirius Backseat TV is still available in 2012? Sirius is clueless but told me it was. At first they told me it was only available on the Jeep Commander. When I told the CS rep that was 2010 info she transferred me to someone who had a bit of a clue. Also are all the Sirius modules the same? I see they are all the same price. Where is it located? Can the backseat tv be turned on with a Starscan tool? Are all the sirius antennas duel antennas? I assume it us under the plastic cover on the roof...if I'm wrong where is it. Does anyone think I will be able to add this to my 2012 JGC Overland? I have the factory RES.

This week brought further encouraging signs that the economy is finally on the mend. There was evidence of a pick-up in manufacturing, construction, services and retailing. All of this suggests that growth in the second quarter could outpace the steady expansion shown in the first three months of the year.
But just because the sun has been glimpsed at last does not mean that economic summer has arrived. And even if we see steady growth from here there are formidable challenges ahead, most obviously in turning round the public finances.

Gabon, Tunisia through, Morocco out in high drama
FRANCEVILLE, Gabon: Gabon snatched a place in the African Cup of Nations quarterfinals and eliminated Morocco after a dramatic 3-2 win on Friday in the craziest game yet at a highly unpredictable tournament.
Gabon President Ali Bongo lived every moment of his team's rollercoaster ride at Stade de l'Amitie as it came from 1-0 down to take the lead with two goals in a minute, conceded a 90th-minute equalizer and then won a stunning game with a stoppage-time free kick from Bruno-Zita Mbanangoye.
Bongo was slumped in his chair in Libreville, then hugging officials and jumping with joy. Fans streamed onto the pitch in wild celebrations at one point, swallowing up Gabon's heroes and even flooring forward Eric Mouloumbui in the chaos.
Gabon's unlikely win also saw Tunisia qualify from Group C following its earlier 2-1 victory against Niger. The Tunisians stole their own 90th-minute winner through substitute Issam Jemaa to begin a memorable night in the Gabonese capital.
Ghana and Mali surely can't produce anything like it when they meet in probably the highest-profile clash of the African Cup so far on Saturday in Group D in Franceville.
Gabon coach Gernot Rohr and Morocco boss Eric Gerets were spotted peeking out from the players' tunnel as substitute Jemaa's last-gasp goal gave Tunisia its late win over tournament debutant Niger, which pushed the 2004 champion all the way before falling at the very end.
Rohr smiled ruefully and shook his head as Tunisia temporarily took control of the group, not knowing his team was about to produce something even better.
With Morocco playing for its survival against a co-host urged on again by a packed stadium, captain Houssine Kharja settled its nerves with a slick finish in the 25th minute for 1-0.
The game burst to life in the 77th when Gabon's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored from a volley from near the penalty spot and veteran striker Daniel Cousin _ who was on as a substitute _ poked home barely a minute later.
Morocco was thrown a lifeline when Kharja converted a high-pressure spot kick in the last minute of regular time when Charly Moussono blocked Younes Belhanda's shot with his arm, but that lifeline was cruelly yanked away by Mbanangoye's curling right-footed free kick into the top left corner in the fifth minute of added time.

TUPELO – Former Tupelo Police Capt. Cliff Hardy will get his day in court, U.S. District Judge Sharion Aycock ordered today.
Earlier this week, attorneys for the City of Tupelo argued Aycock should dismiss Hardy's lawsuit filed in the Northern District of Mississippi.
Aycock's ruling came a full week before she said she would do so.
But today, she validated Hardy's July 20 trial date in Aberdeen.
Hardy claims he was virtually fired after a series of demotions put him in menial jobs for TPD, and he subsequently retired. He insists these demotions were based on a public speech he gave in October 2006 about racial bias in the department.

Thirukkural in English
On The Lord (Adoration)
1. The alphabet "lives" on the basis of the first letter A; likewise, all the world – movable and immovable --- is sustained by the faith in God.
2. The Lord is of the form of pure wisdom; without adoring His Lotus feet, what is the good of learning many a lore? Such study will be fruitless indeed.
3. The most High is seated in the lotus of the heart of devotees and rules the world; those who adore His Lotus feet will get everlasting wealth.
4. the Lord is free from "Likes" and "dislikes"; He is the friend of all; He is compassionate; sorrow will surely never approach those who take refuge in His feet.
5. The Lord's glory is unfathomable; if this is cognised and He is adored, good and evil – the two consequences of "delusion" – will vanish.
6. The person who subdues the five senses, keeping them away from the external world and ever walks the path ordained by the Lord will be blissful ever.
7. The Lord is without a peer (non—paraller); He never decays; he who takes refuge in Him will get beyond all sorrow and enjoy lasting happiness here.
8. The Lord is beheld as an ocean of virtue and compassion personified; without holding o to the boat of His feet, it is scarcely possible to reach the other shore of the sea of sorrow.
9. The Lord has eight glorious attributes; the head of a person who bows not to His feet is useless, like the eye without sight.
10. Only those persons who hold on to the boat of the Lord's feet as sure aid will easily cross the sea of births and re-births; it will be impossible for others to do so.

Background: Studies indicate that extended shifts worked by hospital staff nurses are associated with higher risk of errors. Long work hours coupled with insufficient sleep and fatigue are even riskier. Although other industries have developed programs to reduce fatigue-related errors and injury, fatigue countermeasures program for nurses (FCMPN) are lacking.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of an FCMPN for improving sleep duration and quality while reducing daytime sleepiness and patient care errors. Selected sleep variables, errors and drowsy driving, were evaluated among hospital staff nurses (n = 47) before and after FCMPN implementation.
Method: A one-group pretest-posttest repeated-measures approach was used. Participants provided data 2 weeks before the FCMPN, 4 weeks after receiving the intervention, and again at 3 months after intervention.
Results: Most of the nurses experienced poor sleep quality, severe daytime sleepiness, and decreased alertness at work and while operating a motor vehicle. After the FCMPN, significant improvements were noted in sleep duration, sleep quality, alertness, and error prevention. Although significant improvements were not found in daytime sleepiness scores, severity of daytime sleepiness appeared to decrease. Despite improvements in fatigue management, nurses reported feelings of guilt when engaging in FCMPN activities, especially strategic naps and relieved breaks.
Conclusions: Initial findings support the feasibility of using an FCMPN for mitigating fatigue, improving sleep, and reducing errors among hospital staff nurses. In future investigations, the acceptability, efficacy, and effectiveness of FCMPNs can be examined.

UConn coach Geno Auriemma provided only a playful response when he was asked about the status of Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis heading into Thursday's game against No. 10 Penn State at Gampel Pavilion.
Mosqueda-Lewis, who did not play against Colgate Nov. 28 due to a concussion, missed the entire second half tonight against No. 9 Maryland with a left quad contusion. She left the game for good with 2:45 left in the first half.
"Probable. No, doubtful for Thursday,'' Auriemma said. "I sound like Bill Belichick now, huh.''

Were these instructions helpful?
took the old one off and put the new one on
Took the broken one out and installed the new one,never had to buy a new one before, felt it should last many years not under 2 years.
The bin door shelf was easy, just snap it in. For the drawer support rails, the hardest part of the repair was removing all the food from the shelf above the meat bin. Once that was complete, I took out the shelf with the drawer supports, unscrewed the rails from each side, inserted the new rail and reinserted the screw tightening the rail on each side. You can't put the rail in incorrectly since the screw holes will not line up. Very simple and easy.
My wife tried to clean glass shelf by rinsing cold glass under hot water ( bad choise ) shattered into a million piceses. My kids broke the bin by hanging on it. I ordered online -- great price sent it slow and cheap but it came it like two days. Best online experence i have had!!!!!!!!Thanks a million
The only issue was inserting the bin-door properly so that it was secure and would hold jars. At first it appeared that I had either ordered or received the wrong part, because it didn't seem like it was going to fit. With peseverance and determination, I was finally successful -- I just had to hold my breath and risk flexing the plastic a bit. The good news is (1) how easy it was to use the web site and locate the proper part, and (2) how quickly the order came -- ordered on-line one day, got word later the same day that it had been shipped, and it arrived the very next day!!
This was as simple as it gets. I removed broken door bin after it cracked at the bracket on refrigerator door.Then slid new door bin in existing bracket on door.Viola, complete and good as oringnal! It was just as easy to order the correct part from 'partslect.com'.Thanks, Teresa
Partswere here very quickly.I will most definitely order from here again.
It just slips right in, no tools required.But I just wanted to say that it took less than 24 hoursfrom the time I ordered my part (3pm Tuesday) until I received my part (1pm Wednesday. I couldn't believe it came so fast. I am very happy with PartSelect.com and will definately use this site again whenever I need any applianceparts. Thank you.
Stuck in to the inside door. Best part was after ordering, the part arrived in two days....YEA and thank you
Very easy to slide into brackets; no adjusting needed! Very easy and FAST, dependable shipping!! Amazing service!
Ordered new part - was here in less than 48 hours . Great service and cheaper than than the local repair people . Will do it again if needed . Thank you - a happy customer !
I called PartSelect, gave them my model # , ordered the part they looked up for me, and I had it at my door in 2 days!!Great service!!!
Amazingly received my new door bin in 12 hours from placing my order. This seriously has to be a record. I will use Partselect.com for all my part needs. They're incredible.
I just want to say thank-you for your fast and prompt service. The door bins arrived within 2 days. Thank-you again

As craft beer booms, label design is the liveliest blend of folk art, graphic design, and local subcultures in the American food scene.
Full Steam Summer Basil
A Bit of Restraint
Breweries are often small, overworked, and cash-strapped. Labels with fewer colors cost less but can look terrific. Durham, North Carolina's Fullsteam Brewery works in a clean, hip, retro-with-a-twist lithograph style. Who's that guy? He's a "semi-fictitious steampunk plantation owner," of course.

No. 9 Arizona stops Utah
SALT LAKE CITY Mark Lyons scored 18 points, freshman Brandon Ashley added 10 in a reserve role and No. 9 Arizona defeated Utah, 68-64, Sunday to snap a two-game skid.
Arizona led by 13 early in the second half only to see Utah respond with a 14-3 run to tie it 51-51 with 7:28 left on Jason Washburn's tip-in.
A 3-pointer by Dakarai Tucker pulled Utah within two with 4:46 left, but a putback by Kevin Parrom and a layup by Lyons helped seal it for the Wildcats (21-4, 9-4 Pac-12), who were coming off their worst loss of the season.
Jarred DuBois had 16 points, Washburn added 15 and Jeremy Olsen had 12 for the Utes (11-14, 3-10), who have yet to win back-to-back conference games since joining the Pac-12 two years ago.
Arizona coach Sean Miller shuffled his lineup, starting Parrom, a 6-foot-6 senior forward, over the 6-8 Ashley in hopes of avoiding another sluggish start.
Arizona led 33-25 at halftime, with Ashley contributing six points off the bench.
Despite the victory and losses last week by other top 10 teams, Arizona is expected to fall when the new rankings are released today.

Hello! I'm Lori Grisham. I am a writer and researcher based in Washington, D.C.
I currently work at USA TODAY as a multimedia journalist where I report daily, trending stories for the larger Gannett network. I also collaborate with digital designers and developers to create alternative story forms and interactives.
Prior to this job, I spent four years working at NPR as an editorial researcher. I supported the Ombudsman, also known as the audience representative, by investigating listener and reader complaints about coverage.
I have an M.A. in Communication with a focus in journalism and public policy from American University and a B.A. in English and Religion from Mary Washington College. In between getting those degrees, I lived in beautiful Savannah, Ga. working as an admission counselor for the Savannah College of Art and Design. I still dream of warmer winters and Tybee Island, but Washington, D.C., is my home. In my free time, I love exploring my neighborhood on Capitol Hill and cheering for the Nationals.
You can find me on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn, but my favorite social media platform is Instagram.

Members also almost all year round travel all over Munster for weekly practices again showing fantastic dedication. Finally a thank you to all the people of Cullen, Duhallow, Kerry. and further aflield for all the support

It's been a big week for superhero fans.
Just last weekend a couple big movie studios released the first pictures from the new Spider-Man and Captain America movies, and they looked pretty darn good.
Then earlier this week, director Christopher Nolan announced that Bane and Selina Kyle be the new villains in The Dark Knight Rises, his follow-up to the hugely popular Batman film The Dark Knight.
I grew up on a steady diet of Batman and Captain America, but I know not everyone was into superheroes the way I was. So, if you want to start brushing up on who these characters are (and maybe even have extensive conversations about what the movies "got right" or "got wrong"), stop by your local library and pick up some of their most popular graphic novels today:
Underneath the mask, Spider-Man is just a normal teenager, worrying about the same things his readers did. The new Spider-Man movie is going to focus on how Peter Parker learns to balance being a typical high-school student and having an atypical nightlife--the same struggle he has in Ultimate Spider-Man.
Call it childhood nostalgia, but my favorite rendition of Captain America will probably always be the cartoon from the 1960's (I watched it in reruns as a kid and still love the theme song). But there have been plenty of different renditions of Cap over the years. If you're looking for a wide range of interpretations by some of the most talented people in comics, pick up the anthology Captain America: Red, White and Blue. Bruce Timm, Paul Dini and (my personal favorite) Alex Ross all contributed.
To most people, Bane isn't as familiar or iconic a Batman villain as Scarecrow, the Joker or Two-Face, but fans of the comics know that he's one of the most imposing foes in Batman's rogues gallery. Upon his introduction to the series, the cold, intelligent crime lord figured out Batman's secret identity, walked up to Bruce Wayne's front door and broke the Dark Knight's back over his knee. Batman: Knightfall chronicles the whole story.
Next to the Joker, Selina Kyle is probably Batman's most well-known and often-adapted villain. Comic writers, film directors and TV producers all love putting their own spin on the character. My favorite Batman story is Frank Miller's Batman: Year One, which shows how Batman's first year of crimefighting inspired Selina Kyle to become Catwoman.
