Ps. Great Tech Support Always There For You!
quote HiDefNinjaI just purchased from Giga about 3 hours ago. The bot works fantastic. I had trouble setting it up myself and he gave the best remote support and got me up and running within 10 mins. The argument of who designed this product is irrelevant. I choose to buy a product based on its usefulness and effectiveness. There are a million shoe manufacturers and they all make the same product save for a color scheme, blasting this guy for what you perceive is the same product as another person is juvenile. I suppose we should only have 1 automaker as well.
quote nipbotgood guy and pretty good product, especially given the obvious challenges. Very responsive over email, great guy.
quote UsafaDude is awesome. helped me set everything up!!!
Buy His Stuff!!
quote AceBahamutI bought Rageminer around a week ago and have been very impressed with it. I was somewhat reluctant to write my support for it because this is my first post here after being a lurker, and didn't want any heat drawn to either giga or myself.
All I can say is that the bot works. I am running 15 accs on rotation and am racking up the personal HP and soon the Hr and up packs.
The setup isnt difficult, I ran into a couple of issues that were actually my fault and giga very promptly helped me solve them.
The price isnt a lot for what is on offer. I actually gave him an additional donation because thats how impressed I am with it. I am a regular poster on gamefaqs and will be happy to talk to people about the bot through pm.
quote randy21mJust bought two days ago after reading through all 10 pages. I'll give my honest opinion. THIS THING WORKS! I will say that I had problems at first (partly due to my fault), but Gigaplex was quick in responding, never unprofessional and resolved my issues quickly with same day responds! That's more than I can say for some major companies that offer paid support!
Thanks Gigaplex! Satisfied customer here! Looking forward to future releases.

Today at Ethika Politika, I examine the longstanding claim of the Roman Catholic Church that the universal character of the common good in our present era necessitates a world political authority. The problem, I argue, lies in the tradition's too closely identifying the good of political communities with the common good.
The recently canonized Pope John XXIII, for example, states that "[p]ublic authority" is "the means of promoting the common good in civil society" (Pacem in Terris, 136, emphasis mine). And Pope Benedict XVI continued the call made by John XXIII for a "world political authority" in Caritas in Veritate, specifically recommending that the U.N. be "vested with the effective power to ensure security for all, regard for justice, and respect for rights" (57, emphasis mine). The problem with the U.N., to the popes, is that it is not powerful enough.
In response, I write,
I would worry about a U.N. or any other global political authority endowed with such great power and means. If nation states have failed to ensure the global common good, as the pope admits, why should we expect a global government to be free from error in this regard? The only difference would be that the mistakes of such politicians would necessarily have global consequences. I like my U.N. nearly ineffective and mostly powerless, thank you very much. If anything, to ensure subsidiarity, the larger the political authority, the less power and means it should have. (more…)

This report describes the final Phase 2 analysis of the effects on residential customers' energy consumption patterns of Commonwealth Edison's (ComEd's) Customer Application Program (CAP).
This report presents the findings of a pilot, implemented by Commonwealth Edison, to improve the understanding of how advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) can be used to influence residential electricity consumption. It is part of a series of Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) studies to help the power industry exploit technological advances and induce changes regarding when and how consumers use electricity in order to increase reliability, reduce costs, and promote sustainable economic growth.
The final report will interest those concerned with the efficacy with which smart grid technologies facilitate Demand Response (DR). AMI-enabled pricing structures and technologies can yield system-wide distribution benefits when they provide, at lower cost, services comparable to those that could otherwise be provided only by supply-side resources. These benefits include reduced costs of generation and transmission, lower distribution capital and operating costs, and reduced siting and environmental costs associated with supply-side technologies. DR might also provide flexibility that could help planners ensure reliable delivery with limited resources. Smart grid technologies might facilitate DR by giving customers information to help them make effective consumption decisions and offer automated ways to make those decisions. The ComEd project provides data to assess the extent to which smart grid technologies actually do induce DR.

Oral Questions
11:30 a.m.
Gary Lunn Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC
Mr. Speaker, internal documents show that there is once again political interference by the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness on the establishment of a DNA missing persons index. The minister established a public consultation last spring and only through access to information documents we now learn that the most substantive part of the discussion was deleted and replaced with the comment from the minister's office, "the question will not arise because we won't let it".
Why is the minister wasting everyone's time and money when she has already made up her mind in advance?
Oral Questions
11:30 a.m.
Edmonton Centre
Anne McLellan Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness
Mr. Speaker, I am not exactly sure that I know what the hon. member is referring to, but let me reassure the hon. member that when it comes to DNA and the creation of the DNA data bank, this is a very serious matter of law enforcement. We are consulting widely in relation to amendments to that DNA data bank to ensure that it is as complete and useful as possible as an instrument or tool of law enforcement in this country as the law permits.
Oral Questions
October 21st, 2005 / 11:30 a.m.
Pauline Picard Drummond, QC
Mr. Speaker, according to the Globe and Mail , two of the independent forecasters, including the Conference Board, appearing before the Standing Committee on Finance next week, estimate the federal government surplus to be over $10 billion.
Does the minister intend to use the enormous surplus to address the fiscal imbalance, by increasing transfers for post-secondary education, as students have been asking for, and by substantially improving the equalization program?
Oral Questions
11:30 a.m.
Ralph Goodale Minister of Finance
Mr. Speaker, the government has already announced in the course of our last two budgets that we are not only taking existing transfer payments to an all-time record level, which they are now at, but over the course of the next decade, we have already indicated the resources that will be added to those transfer payments, totalling in excess of $100 billion.
Oral Questions
11:35 a.m.
Pauline Picard Drummond, QC
Mr. Speaker, the enormous surplus shows, once again, that the federal government takes in more revenue than it needs to meet the obligations under its jurisdiction.
Does the Minister of Finance agree that it is high time to sit down with Quebec and the provinces in order to review the equalization program and negotiate a new division of the tax fields in order to correct the fiscal imbalance once and for all?
Oral Questions
11:35 a.m.
Ralph Goodale Minister of Finance
Mr. Speaker, a review of equalization is already under way. I expect to receive a report on that during the course of this coming winter.
I would also point out that in addition to increasing transfer payments to the provinces by $100 billion, we have also reduced the tax burden on Canadians by $100 billion.
If the provinces believe that they need more taxes, we have provided them some room that they could occupy, if they think that is the right thing to do.
Oil Industry
Oral Questions
11:35 a.m.
Paul Crête Rivière-Du-Loup—Montmagny, QC
Mr. Speaker, the oil companies are raking in the profits. In the third quarter alone, from July to September, Esso expects earnings of $652 million, up 20%. Petro-Canada's estimated earnings are $652 million, up 59%, and Shell's $516 million, up 14%.
Will the government finally assume its responsibilities and impose a minimum $500 million surtax on the oil companies to help consumers, who were left out of Bill C-66 and are struggling with the latest price hike, get through this crisis?
Oil Industry
Oral Questions
11:35 a.m.
Ralph Goodale Minister of Finance
Mr. Speaker, I do not believe that the solution to energy issues at the present time lies in increasing taxation.
I would point out to the hon. gentleman that one of the most severe price spikes actually occurs in the field of natural gas.
If he is going to take his logic as embedded in his question, is he arguing for a major federal tax increase on Gaz Métropolitain?
Oil Industry
Oral Questions
11:35 a.m.
Paul Crête Rivière-Du-Loup—Montmagny, QC
Mr. Speaker, there has been a transfer of wealth from the pockets of taxpayers, to the pockets of those who control our economy, to the oil companies. It is the government's duty to act.
How can the government sit idly by, given the devastating effects of the spike in gas prices, without asking the oil companies to do their share? It is unacceptable for the government to act like this.
Oil Industry
Oral Questions
11:35 a.m.
Ralph Goodale Minister of Finance
Mr. Speaker, about a week ago we announced a package of relief measures totalling some $2.4 billion. They include not only payments to reduce the burden on our most vulnerable citizens, but also a very important investment of $1.8 billion in energy efficiency and energy conservation that will make it possible for every Canadian family to save, if they take advantage of the programs, something on average in the range of $400 to $500 not just this year but every year, year after year after year into the future. That is good public policy.
Oral Questions
11:35 a.m.
Myron Thompson Wild Rose, AB
Mr. Speaker, Canadians, including myself, are really sick and tired of the law constantly protecting the rights of predators while not considering the rights of victims, especially children. A 14-year-old and a 15-year-old are still children.
The Prime Minister likes to say that Liberal values are Canadian values. I want to ask him, how many Canadians feel their values include adult men having sex with 14-year-old girls?
Oral Questions
11:35 a.m.
Northumberland—Quinte West
Paul MacKlin Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada
Mr. Speaker, clearly, we are well aware that the victims of crime do have concerns about the criminal justice system being in balance. We know that the victims question the amount of money that is spent to train and rehabilitate those who are incarcerated.
The reality is the primary goal that most victims will agree with us on is that they never want to be a victim again, and the government agrees with this goal.
Oral Questions
11:35 a.m.
Carol Skelton Saskatoon—Rosetown—Biggar, SK
Mr. Speaker, the health minister rises daily in the House to talk about our pandemic preparedness, while the public health minister issues dire warnings.
The health minister brags that we have Tamiflu pills for 2.5 million of our population, less than 10% of the population. European countries have 20% and 25% of their population covered.
Why is the Liberal government not preparing to protect more than 10% of our population?
Oral Questions
11:35 a.m.
West Nova
Nova Scotia
Robert Thibault Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health
Mr. Speaker, we have been recognized by the World Health Organization and many countries internationally, or all countries internationally, as being the most advanced in this area of preparation.
What is the right level of one substance as opposed to another that we should have? We work with experts across Canada and internationally to inform us on that.
An organization will be making a recommendation to government within the next couple of weeks. Perhaps the recommendation will be to increase the avian Tamiflu or others.
Next week the Minister of Health is hosting an international conference because this requires an international answer, and Canada will play the lead.
National Defence
Oral Questions
11:40 a.m.
Cheryl Gallant Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke, ON
Mr. Speaker, it has been over three years since the crash of a CH146 Griffon helicopter claimed the lives of two pilots.
Why is the minister expanding the use of the Griffons for search and rescue missions before the final report on rescue 420 has been publicly released?

Distinguished Alumni
Patrick M. Dreiling, DDS, MS
Dr. Dreiling was the eighth person in his family to graduate from Saint Louis University's School of Dentistry, but the first person in his family to earn a degree from the Graduate Orthodontic Program in the Class of 1969. The building that houses the Center for Advanced Dental Education (CADE) is named in part after Dr. Dreiling. When Dr. Dreiling pledged $1.3 million toward the renovation of the existing facility, he requested that the building be named in honor of Dr. Marshall. Dr. Marshall was overwhelmed by the honor and at first declined. He relented only after Dr. Dreiling agreed to share the name. The building is named Dreiling-Marshall Hall in their honor.
Lysle E. Johnston, Jr., DDS, MS, Ph.D
Dr. Johnston succeeded Dr. Marshall in 1976 and served as Chairman of the Graduate Orthodontic Program until 1991. During his tenure, he significantly advanced research activities, which resulted in numerous awards. In 2001, Dr. Johnston was awarded the Albert H. Ketchem Award, the highest honor given by the American Board of Orthodontics. In 2006, Dr. Johnston received the Jarabak Memorial Orthodontic Teachers and Research Award and received Professor Emeritus status at Saint Louis University.

NYPA Makes Contribution to Massena Hospital
May 20, 2005
MASSENA—The New York Power Authority (NYPA) on Friday contributed $2,000 to Massena Memorial Hospital as part of the hospital's annual fundraising drive.
Allen Schriver, NYPA's regional manager for Northern New York, presented a check to Charles F. Fahd II, Massena Memorial's chief executive officer, at the hospital.
"On behalf of our employees at the St. Lawrence-FDR Power Project, I am delighted to continue our tradition of supporting Massena Memorial Hospital," Schriver said. "As members of the Massena community, we benefit from the vital services that the hospital provides and we welcome this opportunity to express our thanks."
Fahd noted that "the Power Authority is a valued contributor to our hospital and we appreciate its ongoing support. Donors like NYPA make it possible for us to continually strengthen the quality of our care and facilities."
In addition to its annual contributions, the Power Authority in 2003 donated $50,000 to Massena Memorial Hospital's building fund.
The hospital's annual fundraising drive coincides each year with National Hospital Week, which this year had the slogan "A Calling to Care."

Clouds Come Up Against Open Source Ethics
While Amazon.com (AMZN) has proprietary advantage in the Application Program Interface used for its EC2 cloud, and while VMware (VMW) has proprietary advantage in its vSphere virtualization system, most of cloud computing runs on open source.
Hadoop, the "big data" system, is an open source tool. OpenStack, the cloud infrastructure originally developed through NASA, then run as open source by Rackspace (RAX) , is now managed by an independent OpenStack Foundation.
Open source idealism is infused throughout the cloud computing industry. This makes profit harder to come by as the benefits of open source flow naturally to users rather than bankers or salesmen. It means that if you're in the cloud computing business, you need to tread lightly, keeping your knife in your boot rather than on your belt.
VMware and Red Hat (RHT) are now learning this the hard way as they battle over an open source project called Vert.X.
Vert.X was first developed through a VMware employee named Tim Fox, so VMware acted as its corporate "sponsor," paying Lee for following his passion. The software lets teams build cloud applications in a variety of computer languages, so Red Hat was quick to support it for its OpenShift cloud platform.
It was when Red Hat recruited Fox from VMware that the trouble started. As ZDNet's Jack Clark explained, VMware lawyers demanded Fox give the company back control of the project, which Fox did.
The result was an explosion of concern at the Google Group supporting the project, with developers threatening to "fork" it so there might be two Vert.X versions, one for VMware and one for Red Hat.
But this would also mean developers having to reinvent the wheel, and the versions would, in time, become incompatible. The two companies quickly put out a joint statement promising to work things out through the Vert.X "community."
I have covered open source since 2005 and this sort of thing happens often. When corporate agendas get in the way of community agendas, what's unique about open source is the community tends to win.After Oracle (ORCL) bought Sun Microsystems a few years ago, gaining control of the Java open source programming language, Open Office office suite and Solaris operating system, it quickly found itself unable to fully capitalize on all this "intellectual property" due to community resistance.
Open Office was eventually spun into the Apache Foundation, Oracle was forced to back off its efforts to control Java, according to IDC analyst Al Hilwa, and even Open Solaris re-emerged with a new open source community behind it, as former Sun evangelist Simon Phipps noted in Infoworld.
What investors want to know after all this is, where did the money go? It went, and is going, to people and companies using the software. It's going to those running cloud services like Google (GOOG) , and it's going to companies building services on top of clouds like Facebook (FB) .

Learn more: About the Author: Lorraine Hariton serves as Special Representative for Commercial and Business Affairs (CBA).
We've marked "World Trade Week" here at the State Department this week with a busy agenda in which we've noted President Obama's ambitious goal to double exports in the next five years. Our first priority is ensuring that business advocacy and commercial diplomacy are an integral part of the diplomatic agenda. Exports are the focus of our contribution to the domestic economic recovery and job creation. I hear daily from our U.S. ambassadors who are out there on the front lines advocating for U.S. companies across the globe. It is our embassy officers who offer critical information to U.S. businesses on the political and economic situation in specific countries. I also hear daily from U.S. company executives about their successes in selling U.S. products or services abroad based on assistance our embassies have provided in local markets in places as diverse as Singapore, Sweden, Vietnam, and the United Arab Emirates.
We work with the U.S. corporate giants like Boeing, GE, and Raytheon, but we also work with small and medium-sized enterprises that aren't household names to help find local partners in foreign markets or address the complicated issues they face in exporting U.S. goods. We also help those companies when they encounter roadblocks in their efforts to expand sales abroad. Our embassies stand side-by-side U.S. companies that face investment disputes or market-access issues in foreign countries. We have a special program to expedite visa processing for foreign business travelers. We work closely with our colleagues in other government agencies -- especially the Commerce Department, the Small Business Administration, the Export-Import Bank, and the Overseas Private Investment Corporation -- to leverage their services in support of U.S. companies working abroad. We teamed up with the U.S. Trade and Development Agency in April to co-host the ASEAN Clean Energy Conference in Manila to introduce government officials from all of the ASEAN countries to a wide range of U.S. companies' clean energy technology, products, and services.
With a renewed focus on the U.S. entrepreneurial spirit, we met with more than 220 entrepreneurs from Muslim-majority countries in April at the Presidential Summit on Entrepreneurship held in Washington D.C. It was an exhilarating week that included the launch of our Global Entrepreneurship Program and our e-mentoring program which we hope will spur economic development and expanded trade through enabling an entrepreneurial ecosystem around the world.
Every day we meet with businesses in Washington to talk about their efforts to expand exports overseas. But we also get out beyond the beltway to find out what's on the minds of exporters across the country. I recently traveled to Manchester, New Hampshire, with Senator Jeanne Shaheen to talk to exporters at the Granite State Export Forum. Other senior State Department officials have reached out to exporters in places like Miami, Florida, and Gary, Indiana. We hear from individuals everywhere that U.S. government and embassies' assistance to exporters may be one of the best kept secrets. We hope to change that, because every day is "trade day" at the State Department.
O.C. in U.S.A. writes:
I think the best thing America has is its ability to put whole scale systems in place. Not necessarily to run the systems but we seem to excell at establishing systems like transportation networks, agricultural and building systems. The amount of labor that has gone into building our country is unsurpassed. Using development as a foreign policy tool is the only thing that makes sense.
The government just needs to get its policies in line with its rhetoric and then our economy will be smokin' hot just like Obama or whatever the lunch lady said.

5 Good Signs for the Economy in 2013
Specifically, The Mortgage Bankers Association takes an across the board look at the U.S. housing market, and does so in a thorough and forward-looking forecast published on the MBA's web site.
There forecast has no shortage of insights. For instance, the U.S. has added 4.8 million renters since 2008, and has lost 1.7 million homeowners. The association also has a few predictions for 2013 related to the housing market -- predictions that suggest the housing market specifically, and the U.S. economy in general, should see more slivers of sunlight in 2013 than in 2012.
Here's a snapshot from the MBA:
There will be more U.S. mortgage originations. The MBA expects $1.3 trillion in mortgage originations in 2013, mostly stemming from homeowner refinances in the first six months of the new year. It also has revised its 2012 mortgage origination estimate upward, to $1.8 trillion. "We expected 2012 originations to be front-loaded in the first half of the year, with refis falling off with rate increases," explains Jay Brinkmann, MBA's chief economist. "Instead we saw the refinance market grow during the year due to a combination of low rates, thanks to QE3 and slowing global growth because of continuing problems in Europe, and adjustments in the HARP and FHA refinance programs. We expect 2013 refinance originations to play out like our original expectations for 2012, with a long tail of refis extending through the first half of the year followed by a rapid drop-off in the second half."
There will be more home purchases. The association sees more outright home purchases in 2013 than this year, a good sign for the economy. "We expect a 16% increase in purchase originations in 2013 over 2012, with every quarter in 2013 exceeding the same quarter of 2012," Brinkmann says. "The increase in purchase volumes will be driven by continued modest growth in the economy, an increase in owner-occupied sales financed with mortgages as opposed to cash purchases by investors, an increase in new home sales and a small increase in average home prices." Overall, the group sees new home purchases rise to $585 billion in 2013 up from $503 billion in 2012.
Mortgage rates will remain low. Don't look for residential mortgage rates to rise in 2013, mostly due to continuing efforts by the Federal Reserve to stimulate the economy, the MBA says. "Mortgage rates are likely to stay below 4% through the middle of 2013, principally due to the announced ongoing purchases of mortgage-backed securities by the Federal Reserve under its QE3 program," Brinkmann says. "The Fed has committed to buying $40 billion of agency MBS per month until the labor market shows significant signs of improvement." Those purchases should help keep interest rates down, a big priority for the Federal Reserve in its effort to keep the credit pipeline primed as much as possible, Brinkmann adds.

Europeanrevolution 2011
The International March to Athens has arrived in Rome after having covered on foot over 800 kilometers.
Around 11 am they have reached the limits of the capital and is expected they appear in the central Piazza del Poppolo around 3pm. The group consists of about 40 people from different nationalities who have also a support car and they have collected hundreds of claims in the different assemblies for which they have passed.
From today until wednesday 18th, the walkers will participate beside the organization of Agora Rome in a series of thematic assemblies in different neighborhoods of the capital. Are expected the mass arrival of sympathizers of the movement of indignation from Spain, France, Netherlands, Germany and the UK in the next few days to participate in the Agora Rome, the next step of dignity, a continuation of previous international meetings in Paris and Brussels.
The 15th is called a mobilization on the streets of Rome under the slogan Carnival of the System, according to organizers this is ironic march with festive character to demand the end of the financial dictatorship, recognition of the constituent assemblies and to display the non-violent character of the movement....
United in the Agora Rome construction
The general assembly last night in the piazza of San Giovanni was massive and participatory. On a night where low temperatures were protagonist the main subject where logistic affairs, then working groups such as cooking, action, communication, art, childhood and others were created. Working groups are opened to the cooperation of citizens and therefore has been established a series of regular meetings where those people interested in the Agora Rome can attend and bring their ideas to the community. It's remarkable to point out the participation of Caracalla's Assembly because it has been a well known encampment in the Italian capital. Day by day the involvement of Caracalla with walkers and supporters of the movement in San Giovanni are giving shape what already has become an enriching event.
On the other hand, the encampment is increasing with the arrival of people who have traveled to Rome from Finland, Greece, Belgium, France and Spain among other nationalities. The General Assembly take place and can be followed live from Piazza San Giovanni at 9 pm at the regular streaming channels from Agora Rome and March to Athens....
#15MGlobalStrike – "The pitchfork movement" – Sicily paralyzed Today is the third day of protest in Sicily. The island is almost paralyzed. In the island are protesting truckers, farmers, fishermen, craftsmen associations and merchants. Students are organizing demonstrations in solidarity, occupying roads and harbours. In Gela they close the entrance to the refinery, threating the port operations. Hundreds of trucks are at Villa San Giovanni harbour trying to ship to the big island with tons of goods (fruit vegetables and dairy supplies) will soon putrefy because the trucks cannot reach the shores of Sicily island. This stop is having a price on Sicily in terms of loss in their economy. The stocks of fuel are scarce and in many areas of the island are over, same for food, with empty shelves in supermarkets and some smaller business are already closed. People are starting to fear the food that comes from the black market. Truck inventory is escorted by the police....
On Saturday afternoon over a hundred thousand people participated in the rally against the cuts the Catalan government. The demonstration was called by trade unions, the Catalan Social Forum, 15M movement and other groups.
The curious fact of the demonstration was to see dozens of mossos march in the demonstration with family and friends. Some wearing the cap service and others with signs announcing their presence at the demonstration.
This confirms the Catalan police openly participated in activities against the present system of government. It is a fact that the demonstrations in Barcelona can see cops protesting with posters, banners, flags, etc. and at the same time, riot police guarding public buildings. A double moral difficult to understand from the perspective of the social demands.
The participation of the Catalan police union has also recently declared that efforts to resolve the crisis may be more forceful, the police remain unresolved as education and health sectors have seen their benefits cut provocating seriously damage....
More than 300,000 people today in Lisbon, in what has been the largest demonstration in 30 years.
O Terreiro do Paco became the agora of the people in the powerful demonstration of their struggle against exploitation. The workers in Portugal have shouted loudly and clearly and have shown their determination and fighting spirit in the defense of the right to work, the recovery of the purchasing power of wages, and for a developed and sovereign country.A demonstration in which, beating the resignations and the false fatalism, has been affirmed the fight as an essential and decisive factor in the defeat of right policies and the building of a Portugal with future.
Next steps after the Rome forum
Over February 10-12 European Alternatives organised an important three-day transnational forum in the Teatro Valle in Rome with over forty organisations from eight European countries. Here is our plan for follow-up.
European leaders seem unable to imagine social and economic alternatives to the European crisis, and merely insist on austerity measures and cuts to social spending, driving Europe further into recession.
We belive it is now time for European citizens to take coordinated action, and show that an alternative way out of the crisis - one based on participation, solidarity, and democratic control over the economy and finace - is possible. For this reason over February 10-12 European Alternatives organised an important three-day transnational forum in the Teatro Valle in Rome with the participation of over forty organisations from eight European countries (information on the forum).
The Rome forum follows another important transnational meeting organised by European Alternatives in the European Parliament on November 30, which paved the way to the Rome meeting (information here).
We are now working on a clear follow-up to make sure a transnational political process is started over the coming months. Here are the main points of conclusion:
The 400 participants of the Action Conference from February 24th to 26th in Frankfurt/ Main, Germany, have decided to call for days of protest from May 17th to 19th against the crisis dictatorship of the European Union. We resist the disaster that is applied to Greece and other countries, against the impoverishment and denial of rights of millions of people and the practical abolition of democratic procedures resulting from the decisions of the Troika consisting of ECB, EU and IMF.
The days of protest in Frankfurt directly succeed to the International Action Day on May 12th and the anniversary of the first assembly in Madrid on May 15th. We are therefore sending a visible sign of solidarity to those people in Europe who have been and are resisting against the debtocracy of the Troika and the attacks on their livelihood and their future. Simultaneously, protests are being organised in the US against the G8 Summit in Chicago.
The choice of Frankfurt for the protests results from the role that the city has as headquarters of the European Central Bank (ECB) and of powerful German and international banks and corporations.
On May 17, we will occupy parks and main squares of the city to create spaces for discussion and exchange. On May 18, we will block the running business of banks in Frankfurt and turn our anger about the Troika's policies into action. We will gather for a large demonstration on May 19 and visualise the broad base of the protests. From many countries and regions of the world people will travel to Frankfurt and participate in the days of protest.
The success of the protests requires a mobilisation that is actively supported by as many as possible: the Occupy movement, the initiatives of unemployed and the crisis alliances, trade unionists, Attac, the environmental and peace movement, migrants', youth and students' organisations, anti-racist, anti-fascist and left groups, activists of various local struggles and the Left Party.
The period of mobilisation includes the European action day on March 31st and international Mayday, as well as collective bargaining struggles in Germany that have our solidarity.
We would like to discuss the following ideas for actions:
After the demonstration at the EZB construction site on March 31, in the frame of the European day of action, May 1 will be a common day of protests, in solidarity with the trade-union members.
Also taking place on March 31 there will be a preparatory meeting in Milan, in order to intensify the international coordination of the next global action days from May 12-15, 2012. These global action days will also take place throughout all of Germany. With the wind of the global protests against our backs, a multitude of actions will take place in Frankfurt and worldwide. Let's block the financial sector of Frankfurt, like the Occupistas did in the Oakland harbor. The goal will be to focus our numbers on resolute actions, in order to create an unmissable sign of solidarity. Together, determined, in solidarity, we will be successful! Let's then benefit from the momentum we gather in May and continue to strike against the banks as well as the German government!
The specific date of the blockade in Frankfurt (sometime between May 12-31) will be determined at the Action Conference. After the blockade, the protests will hopefully become a permanent fixture in Frankfurt through the rest of the summer. The Action Conference will begin on Friday, February 24 at 19.30 with an evening event, and will end on Sunday at 13.00 with a common plenary session.
With the help of workshops, plenary sessions, working groups, talkshows, and mumble-conferences, we will come to an understanding, and begin to plan and organize ourselves. Let's do it! Let's discuss, argue, think outside the box, and devise something new. Finally, let's follow through on our words, with action!
The European Action Conference will be held in the University buildings of Frankfurt-Bockenheim.
How can Schäuble lecture us on Europe while, behind the pro-European rhetoric, austerity is really tearing the continent and its people ever further apart?
UpdatesYesterday was a strange day. the general strike was called by the unions (the CGTP) to protest against the austerity measures. they organized lots of gatherings and marches all over the country. many workers went on strike, although not as many were in the streets. In Lisbon there were three marches, organized by the unions and social movements, and as a result the city was completely paralyzed for all the day. probably social movements and unions need to be more united, but as you know is a long process and we are doing our best In Porto the protestors "welcomed" the prime minister on his visit to the university chanting "IMF out of Portugal" and he had to run inside the university. One protestor was arrested by police in plainclothes, accused of "throwing carrots"....
EUROPE: M31-member …umsGanze! has released their Clip for March 31st. It's entirely in English, and might be useful in other countries, too. M31 – The Movie will be re-released in English this Sunday.
With some thirty organizations (unions and social movements, national or European – see "Who are we?" ), we organised on March 29 & 30, 2012, besides the EU Summit our own spring conference, in order to voice the political and social agenda of the European peoples.
Where we come from
1. Last year, the JSC fixed its diagnosis of the crisis. It highlighted the systemic nature of it: financial, economic, social, ecological and political. This crisis shows the failure of a development model and of two decades of neoliberalism. The JSC also denounced the neoliberal character of the response of the governments. European demonstrations (like that of 29/09/2010) could not until now reverse the balance of force. So they must continue. This is not our crisis, and we don't have to pay for it.
Our diagnosis today
2. Last year we experienced an acceleration of the crisis in Europe. European summits are multiplying, but utterly fail to achieve their stated objectives, namely to "restore confidence in financial markets" and resolve the crisis in the Euro area. A second banking crisis is looming in Europe; austerity policies jointly conducted in all countries are about to provoke a comprehensive recession, and in Greece and other countries, even in a depression. Public debt, unemployment, poverty and inequalities are increasing at an alarming rate.
3. The lesson derived by the European leaders, is not that austerity policies are socially destructive and economically suicidal but that austerity policies do not go far enough. Over the past year, European leaders are working on the project of "economic governance" and are showing an unprecedented institutional activism. Adding successive layers, European leaders plan to make austerity stronger and more irrevocable. After the discrete adoption of the "Six Pack", introducing the reversed majority vote, the "golden rule" fiscal principle, part of the "Two Pack", is being adopted in the greatest silence . Two hazardous treaties, related to one another are being ratified (the Treaty on the European Stability Mechanism and the Fiscal Pact). This hardens the fiscal rules and procedures adopted or to be adopted and makes them even more stringent.
According to Mrs Merkel, "the purpose of the Fiscal Pact is to insert a permanent debt brake in the national legislations. These brakes will have an eternal validity and binding! ". The President of the Commission President, J.M. Barroso, speaks of a "silent revolution"....
..more at:
What to do ? Our alternatives
8. The JSC requires to stop austerity policies – at the contrary, social rights and public services must be enhanced as a development model – and to follow a different approach to the debt issue. The adoption of austerity policies in times of great economic crisis is the worst political choice. It causes enormous social suffering without making any response to the economic problems that caused the crisis.
9. We believe that the very principle of debt repayment must be questioned. In any case, it cannot take precedence over state sovereignty, the well-being, and the preservation of the environment… as is currently the case in countries subject to the dictates of the Troika and the IMF. We call in all European countries an audit of public debt under citizen's control to assess the part of the debt which is illegitimate and whose load and reimbursement should not be supported by the citizens. In the most indebted European countries, we demand to first stop the hemorrage of debt service, with possible suspension of payments or other solutions in the interest of the peoples.
10. The debt question poses in an acute way the question of tax justice. We demand : a concerted European tax strategy in favor of the citizens : increasing corporate taxes and tax on higher income; a tax on wealth; a taxation of all financial transactions to raise revenue and curb speculation; a coordinated fight against fraud, tax evasion and corruption.....

There are different song lists circulating - yesterday I saw one from con cod group with 13 regular tracks and one extra. There are a bit of confusion here that might have to do with marketing policy but another theory is that the final tracklist is not decided. The last theory I doubt because most thing s including album sleeve are probably already produced. Anyway there is a buzz around this album I haven t experienced for a Maccarelease in a very long time. With that considered and adding the facts that it seems like some dj:s and journalists have been offered to hear some tracks it s amazing that not more than this has leaked. Guess the big marketing starts soon - first step is to create a buzz and present a single, second step put the single in a major movie, third step big marketing, aviability to listen to songs etc. Hopefully we soon will be there
And hopefully the album will live up to the hype

Directions to Bridger Inn HotelAddress: 301 S. Main St., Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
Average rating: 83%
Rooms from: US$ 0
Directions to Bridger Inn Hotel
301 S. Main St. Las Vegas, Nevada 89101 From McCarran International Airport The public bus (RTC Transit) leaves from the baggage claim area of Terminal #1. Look for the sign above the exit door that says Public Transportation. From there, take bus #108 towards downtown. Get off the bus at Bridger St. and 4th St. and walk West 3 blocks on Bridger to Main St. We are on the corner. http://www.rtcsouthernnevada.com Cost is $2.00. Have the correct change as the bus driver does not carry change. It's only a 3-4 minute walk from the bus kiosk. A variety of shuttle/limousine services are available at McCarran, and are located on the west side of baggage claim. The Bell Shuttle leaves from exit 9 and the cost is $8.00. They make stops along the route but will bring you directly to our front door. Please note that there are both group shuttle and 'for-hire' stretch limousine services. When you are ready to leave, our front desk clerk is able to arrange for Bell Shuttle to pick you up at The Bridger Inn for a ride back to the airport 24/7. Taxicabs are available on the east side of baggage claim, outside door exits 1-4. Airport personnel are available on the taxi curb to assist passengers. Amtrak Train The closest that Amtrak gets to Las Vegas is Los Angeles. If you take Amtrak to LA the train stops at Union Station. From there you have a few choices: 1. Greyhound Bus: To get to the Bus station you will need to take a taxi or if you book the bus through the US' rail agency Amtrak (www.amtrak.com) the bus leaves directly from Union Station. This is the Greyhound "Convenience" bus and schedules need to be checked. The ride is 5 ½ hours. When you arrive in Las Vegas, The Bridger Inn is across the street and ½ block away from the bus station. 2. Lux Bus America: Another Bus option is The LuxBus that serves the Los Angeles area and Las Vegas. Upon arrival you will only be 3 ½ blocks away from The Bridger Inn. 3. Flying from McCarran Airport is always a quick easy option . Public city bus (RTC Transit) 1) The Duece The Deuce is a city bus that travels from the Downtown - Fremont Street area (1 block from The Bridger) to the south end of the Strip and back again 24/7 for $7.00/day or $15.00 for a three day pass. There are stops along the way near most of the major casinos, and at the Town Square Mall and Las Vegas Discount Mall. 2) The Ace The ACE is another city bus that services 'the Strip' 24/7 for $7.00/day. The Ace has fewer stops making the 'Strip' run somewhat faster but limits the stops available for riders. 3) Taxis There are lots of Taxi Companies in Las Vegas. In the city, it is illegal for a taxi to stop curbside to pick up a passenger. So if arrangements are not made for a taxi pickup it could take a while for a taxi driver to pull over and give you a ride. The front desk can make arrangements for guest pickup.

Once top enlistee, he now works to aid vets
The retired sergeant major will help improve veterans services.
By CATHERINE E. SHOICHET
Published May 20, 2007
Jack L. Tilley retired as sergeant major of the Army and moved to Riverview in 2004. He is a member of a new committee that will advise Veterans Affairs Secretary Jim Nicholson on improving services for veterans returning from combat and their families. Tilley spoke with the St. Petersburg Times about his background and the committee's mission.
Has the situation for soldiers changed since your tenure as sergeant major of the Army?
I think the pace of the Army has changed. Usually when you go into a fight like this, you'd hope that it'd be over very quickly. Unfortunately, when you're dealing with terrorists, this war could last anywhere from 10 to 20 years.
Probably the main thing that's changed is the fact that family separation, the stress that's placed on the family, the stress of going to war. Most people have no earthly idea what it's like to live every day where you think you could get killed. Think about getting in your car and driving from Riverview to Tampa, and within that series of time you either get shot at or somebody gets blown up and killed.
How did you get involved in this committee?
I have really a vast amount of experience when it comes to dealing with families and issues in deployments and family separation.
There are so many things when you're looking at the treatment of disabled vets, the National Guard and Reserves and the kind of issues they have, mental health issues, post-traumatic stress disorder, even the research they have for health issues facing veterans from Iraq, your dependents and your survivors. And also educational assistance and transition benefits. Those are the kind of things that I want to really try to help with.
And I'm not one to mince words. I'll sort of just tell it like it is. I'm certainly sure that's exactly what the secretary wants.
If you were going to tell it like it is right now, what would you say?
I think they need to obviously worry about medical issues with the veterans. One of the things that I always worried about is once (someone leaves the) service, are we tracking them? Are we helping them, making sure the Veterans Administration is helping them through that transition?
And then you look at the other aspect of family members. You have a young man who loses a couple of limbs, and then the transition not only for him but the transition for his family.
You were at Walter Reed Army Medical Center a couple weeks ago. What was it like?
The Walter Reed staff does a tremendous job. Unfortunately, they got some bad publicity because of the (condition of) housing, but nobody's ever said that Walter Reed's doctors and nurses don't do a good job, because they absolutely do a wonderful job. Unfortunately, they have a problem with issues as far as the building.
They used to have, let's say, 100 people to take care of at Walter Reed. They probably went to about 700 to 900 people, and there's a big difference with the influx of personnel coming through there from the war. And when they went to that 800 or 900 people, they didn't change the structure of the staff. If there were eight people (once) taking care of 100, there were (the same number) taking care of 900.
What do you see as your role on this committee? Is there a particular perspective you bring or a particular constituency you're representing?
I represent the enlisted corps of the Army. For 35-plus years, I've been to about every war-torn area that you can think of, starting with Vietnam. So I understand what the issues are.
And I still do quite a bit with the military and talk to a lot of people, so it's not hard for me to find out exactly how they feel about a particular issue.
The committee's task is to improve services for returning combat veterans. How can services be improved?
Again, you don't know what kind of services need to be improved until you go and evaluate them and find out what the issues are.
A lot of times there's better technology out there to speed up systems. Maybe there's a better way to get someone through the veterans system in evaluations on physicals and things like that, which frustrate people.
You've talked about Walter Reed. And there's been a lot of media and public scrutiny about the care of injured veterans there and other places. What sort of reaction do you have when you read about that?
Any time you read anything like that, it bothers you, because the bottom line is that the Army will sort it out, whatever the issues are they'll get in there and make it better. They'll fix it.
But some people have concerns that conditions at Walter Reed got to that point.
Nine times out of 10, what it really is it's a breakdown in communication. Somebody knows it's an issue. They told somebody, they didn't go back and follow up on it.
In 36 years of service, I don't think I ever tried to walk by something that was wrong because you're obligated to fix a mistake.
And, really, everybody's got a piece of the pie. The last year that I testified to Congress, I complained about money. I asked them to put more money into our hospitals.
They'll make it better. And I think in the long run, everybody will benefit from this one issue.

JetBlue Pilots Swap Paper for iPads
JetBlue became the latest airline to begin replacing pilots' paper flight manuals with iPads, announcing FAA approval for iPad-based electronic flight bags (EFB) on Wednesday.
The airline has already begun distributing iPads to all 2,500 of its pilots, after completing a trial phase with about 60 pilots. The iPads will add new capabilities, such as the Comply365 app, which features real-time data about aircraft performance, weight and balance calculations.
"We are one step closer to a paperless cockpit," said Jeff Martin, senior vice president of operations for JetBlue. "The iPads will have real-time weather capability and the ability to update safety and flight documents securely. We expect to add digital chart capability, once it is approved."
All pilots will be trained to use apps for real-time weather, pre-flight planning and digital airport and aircraft charts.
American Airlines was also recently given FAA approval to use iPads during all phase of flight, an approval that JetBlue has not yet obtained.

Our general interest e-newsletter keeps you up to date on a wide variety of health topics.
Laser surgery for an enlarged prostate can take from 30 minutes to a couple of hours depending on the size and anatomy of the prostate being treated.
Before the surgery begins, you will be given either general anesthesia, which means you'll be unconscious during the procedure, or spinal anesthesia, which means you'll remain conscious during the procedure.
Laser surgery techniques for enlarged prostate are all done by inserting viewing scopes and instruments through the tip of the penis into the urethra. This makes surgery possible without making any cuts (incisions) on the outside of your body.
Exactly what you can expect during and after the procedure can vary somewhat depending on the particular type of laser and technique used.
A narrow fiber-optic scope is inserted through the tip of your penis into the urethra. By accessing the prostate through your penis, your doctor won't need to make any cuts (incisions) on the outside of your body. The doctor will use the laser to destroy, vaporize or cut out the prostate tissue blocking urine flow. Depending on the procedure, your doctor may also use instruments to remove cut pieces of prostate tissue from the bladder.
After the procedure, you may have a urinary catheter in place because urine flow is blocked by swelling. If you're unable to urinate after the tube is removed, your doctor may replace the catheter for some time to allow you to heal or give you catheters that you can insert on your own a few times a day until swelling goes down and you can urinate again normally.
You may also notice:
Follow your doctor's instructions about any specific restrictions or steps you need to take after the procedure. These may include:

John Love: Many of the mint state examples that survive today come from a group of about 28 originals uncs that were found in an original mint bag of 1894-Ss that came into a bank in Great Falls, Montana in the early 1960's. I ended up acquiring about five pieces from the owner. The first one I paid $2800 for in about 1965 or 1966. The quality of the coins was approximately what we'd now call MS63 or MS64. This was the only find of this extremely important date that I know of. You would have thought that LaVere Redfield would have had some, but he didn't.Q. David Bowers: The 1893-S is the rarest of all Morgan dollars in higher grades. That the 1893-S is not an "impossible" rarity is because thousands of worn specimens survive. I recall being offered a group of 250 circulated pieces in 1987, the average grade being Very Fine.
I have never personally seen a quantity of mint State 1893-S dollars. However, 20 examples of 1893-S are said to have been found mixed in with a bag of 1894-S dollars which came to light in Great Falls, Montana in the early 1950s (as reported by Wayne Miller).
Ron Guth:
The Eliasberg 1893-S $1 in PCGS MS65 sold in a Legend Rare Coin Auction in October 2014 for a new record price of $646,250, surpassing the previous record held by the Norweb NGC MS67. The big question is how this new record price will affect the value of the spectacularly toned PCGS MS67 Vermeule/Lee/Coronet Collection example, which was acquired by the owner of the Coronet Collection in October 2008 for a price reported to be in excess of $1 million.
David Hall: The 1893-S is the true "King" of the Morgan dollar series. The PCGS CoinFacts Board of experts estimated survival number for all grades is 9948. Dave Bowers has estimated that 6000 to 12,000 survive and I think those numbers are probably accurate. There are probably as many as 10,000 1893-S dollars in all grades.
In Mint State condition, the 1893-S is absolutely the rarest Morgan dollar. And in Gem MS65 or better it's a super rare coin. CoinFacts survival estimate is 123 Mint State survivors and 18 MS65 or better survivors. I believe that MS65ob number is way too high. I think there may very well be 100 or so MS60ob survivors, but no way is there 18 Gems. I believe the true number of MS65 or better examples is probably 6 to 7 coins.
The finest known example is the fabulous Jack Lee MS67, recently sold for over a million dollars. There are 5 or 6 others that have or would grade MS65 at PCGS. Over the years I have handled several Gems, but if there were truly more than 10 MS65ob coins then they would appear much more often than they do.
Note that this is one Morgan that is virtually unknown in prooflike condition.
Note that there are many counterfeits, usually made by adding an "S" to a 1893 Philadelphia. So authenication is highly recommended.

"they want to send their children to school"
Teachers reported to the Freedmen's Bureau monthly listing information such as the number of students enrolled in their school, sources of financial support, and what subjects students were studying. Despite their impoverished condition, African Americans contributed as best they could to support education in their communities. It is reported by this teacher that "the people are not able to pay the tuition, but they want to send their children to school."

About This Book
"There's only two kinds of people in Vietnam. People who are alert twenty-fours a day, and people who are dead."
Richie Perry was seventeen and in trouble. There was no way he could afford college, and the streets were just too hard. He hadn't really given the army too much thought. It was enough that it would give him something to do and three meals a day. He just wanted to cool out till he got himself together.
Basic training wasn't so hard. But there were things they didn't tell him in basic.
They didn't tell him about Nam Rot, or napalm that sucked the air out of your lungs from a hundred yards away, or the body bags that lay in neat piles, ready for the next soldier to die.
They didn't tell him how it felt to shoot at Vietnamese soldiers no older than you were, and just as afraid.
In a novel rich in characters and authentic in detail, Walter Dean Myers tells the powerful story of one seventeen-year-old's tour of duty. Fallen Angels is a testament to the thousands of young adults who fought and died in the Vietnam War.

Product Description
This hub is a work of art. Made from CNC-machined 7075 aluminum, this hub features floating hub flanges that align perfectly under tension. The fact that this hub is recommended for both mountain bikes as well as road bikes speaks to its robust construction. While there are lighter front hub options, like the Tune Mig 45 front hub, those tend to use much smaller bearings, which wear out faster, and they are generally only intended for road riding.

Use of an experimental targeted drug to treat metastatic melanoma tumors with a specific genetic signature was successful in more than 80 percent of patients in a phase 1 clinical trial. Results of the trial of PLX4032, an inhibitor of a protein called BRAF that is overactive in more than half of all melanomas, appear in the August 26 New England Journal of Medicine. The role in melanoma of the BRAF mutation, which keeps the protein constantly activated and driving cell growth, was discovered in 2002 by researchers at the Sanger Institute in Britain.
The new study was led by Keith Flaherty, MD, formerly at the University of Pennsylvania Abramson Cancer Center, now at Massachusetts General Hospital, and Peter O'Dwyer, MD, professor of Medicine, began to explore whether drugs targeting the mutation might interfere with tumor growth. The Abramson Cancer Center will be enrolling patients in a larger trial involving BRAF inhibitors, which will be led by Lynn Schuchter, MD, professor of Medicine and Ravi Amaravadi, MD, assistant professor of Medicine.
