Medicare Cards
From today's NYT:
"The government on Thursday activated a Web site documenting wide variation in prices for scores of prescription drugs at thousands of pharmacies around the country. In many cases, the prices offered to Medicare beneficiaries, with the help of new drug discount cards, appear similar to the prices available to any consumer using online pharmacies."
But after analyzing the data on Thursday, Representative Henry A. Waxman, Democrat of California, said, "The prices available with the new Medicare cards are far higher than the prices available in Canada and the prices negotiated by the federal government on the Federal Supply Schedule, and are no lower than the prices currently available to individuals who do not have the cards."
And this from a media advisory that just went out:
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and Congressmen Henry Waxman (D-CA) and Marion Berry (D-AR) will join seniors to discuss the new Medicare prescription drug discount cards on Monday, May 3. They will be joined by Barbara Kennelly, President of the National Committee to Protect Social Security & Medicare, Ed Coyle, Executive Director of the Alliance for Retired Americans, and dozens of senior citizens.
I recently spoke to somebody who works for the GOP side of the Government Reform Committee, and said, "Oh yeah, so you're over there with Waxman?"
Response? A very long sigh...

New Orleans Fringe Fest trailers
Gambit, by Will Coviello, November 14, 2012.
Gambit, by Will Coviello, November 14, 2012.The New Orleans Fringe Festival starts tonight. There's a preview and some recommendations in Gambit this week. One can also go to the Fringe website and see a brief preview of all shows. If you follow the links, many of the performing groups have their own websites and some have video teasers and trailers for their shows. After the jump are trailers for many of the shows recommended in Gambit and a few others that I hope to see. One of the more amusing trailers is the interactive YouTube preview for Liebe Love Amour!, which works like a choose your own plot novel. You talk with the show's star Tall Hilda, and clicking answers to her questions leads to more videos and more revelations and questions.... (CLICK HERE TO READ MORE).

plumbing in hard lines for a compressor
got another question, i am thinking of putting in either copper or black iron pipe for my air compressor so i don't have my rubber line laying across the floor. i have been looking at my local farm and fleet(which is like tractor supply) and have seen in the copper tubing section that there is four differnent types of tubing/pipe, one just say's copper tubing, one of the other ones is just copper pipe, third is type m hard copper pipe,and the fourth one is type L hard copper pipe. can you tell me the difference between them? and which one Black Iron Pipe or The copper tubing would you use, i have seen both of them used in area shop, just wondering what is going to be the best for what i want to do.

Type M is the light wall pipe and is cheaper so you may want to use that but don't use soft Copper line, the pressure rating should be well above anything you are likely to put on it. How many feet of pipe are you going to need? If you will be running over 50 ft you might want to consider black iron if it will save you some money but Copper will cool somewhat better especially if the total length is less than 50 ft or so. A common concern about black iron is internal rusting but that concern seems to be a lot of worry about nothing and iron pipe has been used successfully for many years. Regardless of what you select for your piping you will want an end filter because you will accumulate some debris in the line no matter what you use.
Copper is a bit spendy, I'd use galvanized pipe and fittings with pipe paste to seal the joints. Paste is easier than Teflon tape. When you drop it, it doesn't unroll across the floor and pick up all the bits and pieces of dirt.
You'll need a flexible line between the compressor and hard pipe. I know a guy who used a stainless covered flex line normally used to connect water heaters. He claims it works fine.
Don't forget drip legs with petcocks (no Paris, it's one word) or ball valves to drain condesed moisture.
Much better to just use hydraulic hose for the flex line, the less expensive low pressure hose is rated well over 1000 LBs so that certainly is not an issue. Tractor Supply, Northern or Surplus Center all have it in any size and length you need it with pipe thread ends. You probably can find it locally too, any place that makes hydraulic hoses can make you any size you want, the local Oreilly auto parts here has them. These hoses are cheap, easy to install, available in any size/length you need them, are rated far in excess of anything your compressor can put on them and they will last forever.
Just a note about hydraulic hose, these things are available in very high pressure ratings, 6000 PSI and higher. If you have someone make them up for you make SURE they know you don't need the really high pressure hose or you may have serious sticker shock when you go to pay for it! The standard hose is way more than adequate and is not expensive at all, most likely the standard hose is what you would find anyway.
I don't know about the copper, But I just finished my garage airline. I looked in to a lot of different materials before I picked one. I looked at PVC, Iron, Copper and various air lines. And I found something that works great, is safe and cheap.
I used 3/4" od Air Brake line. It has a working pressure of 1400psi, 6000psi burst. Heat resistant up to 400* (Working pressure at 200* is 300psi. ) DOT approved and It is oil and solvent resistant.
It is made for the air brake systems on tractor trailer trucks.
It is good stuff. The minitruckin guys have been using it for years on trucks with air bag suspensions. You can use push lock fittings or brass fittings. It is semi ridged, and easy to run.
I bought 250' of 3/4" (od) in a pinkish orange color for $60. It was a discount stock because of the color, They had black, red and blue for $0.49 per ft.
I was told that it is basically the same stuff that comes with the rapid air garage kits. The only bad part is it is not rigid like pvc, iron and copper.
I ran mine in all the walls and used the gray PVC conduit from lowes, and ran the air line inside the conduit, And put "T" fittings every 10' and had an air chuck on the ends. worked perfect, and I have less then $100 in the whole system.
To get an idea of cost the Air brake line is $0.49 ft, the pvc conduit is $0.89 for a 3/4"(id) X 10' stick. And the T and angle fittings are $0.59 each. The air line comes in many other sizes from 1/4" to 1" (the 1" was $1.19 per ft )
Saved me a lot of money vs black iron or copper. And could have saved my eye if I went with PVC lol.
Since it is heat resident, you can run it right from the compressor, But I used a 3/4" 24" black iron pipe and a speedaire filter and regulator combo with a on/off ball valve. Just in case. I don't like the idea of nylon air line getting that hot, even if it says it can handle it.
That system should be as safe as about anything you could have used, unlike PVC which is a time bomb! One disadvantage is that it offers little in the way of cooling which can lead to water in a system such as this because of the hotter air allowing the moisture to pass through the water separator as vapor, that's the main reason Copper is somewhat better than iron especially for shorter systems under 50ft in length. This however can be remedied by the addition of a cooler before the water separator if water in the lines should become a problem. Since you ran yours is in conduit you should not have any problems with sags but if any kind of flexible line is used without support then sags in the line can cause a real headache as water tends to accumulate in the low spots, since yours is in conduit that won't be a problem but for someone considering just the un-supported line it very well could be. One thing for sure you have a very clean system that will be completely immune to rust or scaling!
I never thought about that, I used the conduit to keep it ridgid for the air conectors, so I cant pull it out of the wall. I never thought about a sag holding water. But your right, if it had a sag it would build up water fast, and the next time you use it you better hope your not painting!
The air brake line fit in the conduit tight. I used brass fittings and so far I have no leaks at 150psi.
That got me to thinking. And you seem like a person to ask. That gave me an idea to help keep watter out of the lines. What if, Right after the compressor I made a large "V" out of the airline/conduit maybe 2' long on each side pointing down and at the bottom point put a large bowl filter. That way gravity would help pull the water to the filter.
Dumb Idea or not? I just thought of it wile I was typing this so dont flame me, just a ruff idea.
A sag in a line can be a real headache because water will collect without any noticeable problem for a while but then what happens is it reaches the point where it starts to restrict the air flow and it will get picked up and expelled all at once, lots of water instead of just a few drops. Then once it's cleared the cycle starts all over again and all will seem well until just at the worst possible time (seems like it anyway ) it will do it again!
What you are talking about with the line is basically what we call a "drop" to collect water where it can sit undisturbed by the air flow until it can be drained. There are several good diagrams here that show the layout and a couple of really ingenious designs by some of the guys here. The basic idea is to run the air through a metal line as far as practical in order for the air to cool and let the water vapor condense into liquid water droplets that can be caught in the separator, water vapor in hot air tends to pass right through the separator only to then cause problems by condensing in the air hose. Also along the route of the piping there should be those "drops", kind of like what you are talking about, for the water to drain back into as it condenses on the pipe walls where it can stay undisturbed by the air flow. The water separator needs to be placed as far away from the compressor tank as possible so that the air will have time to cool and condense the moisture, if it is located at the tank before the air has a chance to cool it will catch very little of the moisture, most will simply pass through as vapor.
One really neat example can be found here in the pic in this thread
Water Separaters
This is a good example of using the principle we are talking about and going a step further to adapt it to a small shop where running long lengths of pipe would not be practical.
Wow that is neat. Im starting to love this forum. Many very smart creative people here for sure.
One question, I would like to do something very similar to that in the picture. Maybe put longer piece of pipe going to the ball valves for more area to collect water. With that many bends and turns in a small area does it restrict the amount of CFM any? Or cause a drop in pressure when used on a regulator?
That is a good Idea, Like I said before I bought 250' of the Air brake airline and I still have 50-100 foot left over to do something like that with. Im sure it wont do as good of a job as cooling the air like copper does, But Im thinking I already have everything needed so why not. Even if it only trapped 10% of the moisture thats 10% I don't need to worry about any more.
Unless the line was quite small you would see no significant drop in pressure but if you do have moisture problems you could easily rig up a cooler somewhere along the line. I saw one recently in a home garage that the guy had rigged up to sandblast with, he had run the air through an old car air conditioner evaporator and had a couple of fans from a scrapped computer behind it. Even with no more air flow through it than was provided by those little fans it worked pretty darn good, a bigger fan would make it even better. This was interesting because we have discussed a system using AC evaporators here before and after seeing that rig I think it may be a really good idea.
On my lines I ran 1" black iron pipe. Also made a cooler by the compressor. I have very little moisture after the cooler. When the compressor is running a lot, the temp difference between the inlet and outlet is almost 30*.
That's another good example!
47chevy, I see what you've done with your air manifolding, but I'm wondering about that wiring hanging off the shelving. It doesn't look like it .... ah whats the word I'm looking for? Oh yeah, it doesn't look like it meets code.
Like an aluminum A/C evaporator ? Will that hold 150psi ?
My father-in-law owns a heating and cooling business and has a ton of scrap units. Ive already got my hands on two sealed-unit blow motors that I plan to use for paint exhaust fans. I wonder I could figure A way to use freon to cool compressed air..........
I think you guys are over thinking this big time. I can't comment on your design Smith being I can't see the whole thing in the photo. But if it looks like the one on the link oldred posted it is wrong. First off and most important, you are WAY too close to the compressor to do any good. The air hasn't cooled, it is still hot and full of condensation. Being the water is still "in the air" it will go right thru your contraption. You need to "trap" water later down the line when the air has cooled and it is separated from it.
If your contraption were to be mounted horizontal, now that would help out as long as the pipe was mounted at a slant at every point. Then it would act as a "radiator" cooling the air WITHOUT restricting it's path.
Guys, go to Sharpe, Devilbis, and any other paint gun manufacture along with any air tool manufacture and you will see a diagram like this one at Sharpe.
The slope can be toward the compressor or away, I see no real consensus in that, some like it toward, some like it away.
I think this particular drawing is a little misleading in that the drains don't need to be at a slope as this drawing depicts. The bottom of the drop where the drain is could be a foot or twenty feet it would make no difference in it's efficiency.
The most important part is you have the main line sloped. At each drop to an outlet you go UP and then down passing the outlet to a drain at the bottom. The water being heavier than air has to go UP and down to the outlet so much of it simply can't make it and then it goes back to the compressor or out the last drain. The water that does get up and over, falls down to the drain at the bottom of the drop bypassing the air outlet!
Think about this, your air line is a race course, do you want your air going thru a tight course set up in the streets before it gets to your gun or tool to do it's job, or do you want on the Indy oval?

The Lake County quagga mussel stamp requirement for all powerboats entering any Lake County waterway isn't popular with some boaters. However, a recent news release from the Tahoe Resource Conservation District shows just how important it is to be vigilant in regard to keeping mussels and other invasive species from getting into Clear Lake.
According to the report, inspectors performed 7,000 new inspections of watercraft that were launched at Lake Tahoe in 2013. More than 14,000 vessels were launched at Lake Tahoe last year and that includes both newly inspected vessels and those with intact Tahoe-issued inspection seals. Of that number, 4,221 were decontaminated. Thirty-six vessels were found to be harboring aquatic critters, including plants, mussels and snails.
According to Lake County Water Resources Department, approximately 15,000 mussel stickers were issued to boaters in 2013. Lake County only had to decontaminate four vessels. Lake Tahoe charges a fee of $25 to decontaminate a boat. In Lake County that service is free.
Whereas Lake County has a strict mussel compliance program, Lake Tahoe is even stricter. All boats must be thoroughly inspected before they are issued a sticker. In Lake County the boater is first screened on where the boat was last in the water and where it is stored. If necessary, the boat is then inspected. The sticker fee in Lake County is $10 for an annual sticker for residents and $10 for a monthly sticker for nonresidents. At Lake Tahoe all boaters, resident and nonresident, pay an annual fee of $35 for boats 17 feet long and smaller, $75 for a boat between 17-21 feet, and $86 for a boat between 21-26 feet. When a boat is taken out of the water at the ramp an inspector fastens a locked cable between the eye hook on the bow of the boat and the trailer. When the boat shows up again at a Lake Tahoe ramp it can be launched without an inspection provided the cable is still intact. However, if the boat has been launched in another lake and the cable is broken, the boat must undergo an inspection.
In addition to being required to purchase a sticker at Lake Tahoe there is also a launch fee. Not only are Lake County mussel stickers less expensive, but launching a boat is free at most locations.
Quagga and zebra mussels are being spread by boaters. According to the Department of Fish and Wildlife (DWF,) dreissenid mussels (quagga or zebra) have now been discovered in Lake Piru in Ventura County. The DWF is working with United Water Conservation District and Lake Piru Recreation Area staff to contain the infestation. All boaters are being required to clean, drain and dry their watercraft upon exiting the lake. This discovery marks the first time quagga or zebra mussels have been found in a Southern California water body that does not receive water from the Colorado River.
On Dec. 18, Lake Piru Recreation Area staff reported the discovery of potential quagga mussels to the DFW. The mussels were found attached to a Lake Piru patrol boat and several additional mussels were subsequently found on devices deployed in the lake for the purpose of detecting mussels. DFW staff tentatively identified the mussels, which range in size from one-half to three-quarter inches long, as quagga. Genetic testing is underway to confirm this identification. Lake Piru Recreation Area staff members are working to determine the full extent of the infestation.
Lake Piru, which is managed by the United Water Conservation District, is located downstream of Pyramid Lake. Lake Piru drains into Lower Piru Creek, a tributary of the Santa Clara River.
The bottom line is that every effort has to be made to keep the mussels out of Clear Lake. If it requires that boaters pay a little more to use the lake, so be it. If the mussels get into the lake there will be a lot more restrictions and use of the lake could be limited.

Your flight to the Caribbean get canceled, RS?Citizens of the USA who own guns, will give the finger to liberals demanding rid gun legislation.
Guns are not the problem......people are
The laws currently on the books just require enforcing.
That would require work; and work is something liberals in office won't do.
So the gun owning citizens must protect our 2nd amendment and society, because the liberals won't.
Fact check with 50 year track record the liberals solutions did not provide.

I agree.
Just one more reason why the confiscation hysteria is so overblown.
Personally, I can support an assault weapons ban. But that is not where I see the bulk of our efforts as being needed. We need to focus on the things that will help to tighten up enforcement of current laws with regard to background checks and so forth. And that stuff is going to make some folks profoundly uncomfortable. The gun show loophole is not likely to survive. However, when it comes to things like registration and law-enforcement databases in order to trace guns backwards to their sources, I expect opposition, and not just from the pro-gun lobby.
Ditto the kinds of reporting/databases that are likely to impede access to arms for folks who have been adjudicated of mental impairment--or are decompensating and may be at risk of harming self or others. We are going to have to look at these kinds of things, as well as the options that are/are not available to too many desperate families who see their loved ones in trouble and have no protective options available for themselves OR those who are impaired.
These are serious discussions that we need to have and it doesn't help to have the NRA rabble proclaiming idiocy before the table is even set up for the discussion.

You have any specific info regarding the registration requirements?
I haven't been able to find anything beyond the state will develop a registry. I was interested in when this will begin.
Some things may have to happen over time. If, as you predict, all the "law-abiding gun owners" are going to all become non-law-abiding, there will be an initial glut of non-registered weapons. However, as registration at the time of purchase is tightened up, this should diminish.
And the reality is, not everybody buys into your particular rabid world view. There may be more willingness to abide by the law that you believe.

Last I heard there were 6 State Board members requesting a special meeting to discuss the issue. I believe this is about 4-6 short of the number required to force a meeting. Terhar could decide to have one anyway. The next regularly scheduled meeting is Feb--second week, I believe.
There are certainly plenty of reasons that she makes a bad example for children: bad history, disrespect for the President, spreading propaganda. Perhaps one could make a case that she is not the best person to support our schools in being weapon-free zones.
I think at the end of the day, however, Kasich has sufficient Board members in his pocket to prevent anything very serious from happening.

Deb Terhar is not really an employee of the state. She is an elected representative to the State Board of Ed.
In fact, state employees are somewhat limited in their ability to express political opinions--particularly if they pose a conflict with their work.

If she was to apply for a loan, she would put the state or a department of the state of ohio down as her employer. Anyways, it doesn't really matter except that as an elected official, her political speech is that much more important. She has duties to perform in her position and this was not represented as part of those duties nor did it reflect any position of the state of ohio.
I also take exception with your classification of her conduct.
There is no bad example for children unless you think not speaking your mind on political matters is the example that should be made. While there was disrespect for the president, her comments did not resort to name calling nor did it denigrate the president in any way. She simply posted that Nazi Germany took guns away from the citizens and it allowed Hitler (an elected official) to become a dictator and murder many people while pushing his idea of Eugenics and the master race. As for bad history, I'm not sure anything was historically inaccurate, I will have to re-examine her comments.
And as for a bad example at a weapons free school zone, again this is completely political. When I was in school, we took long bows and shotguns to school and had Skeet and archery clubs that met after school and actually competed against other schools and clubs. The idea that this is somehow bad is a relatively new concept probably stemming from a few bad incidents that have happened in far away places. Children who learn that guns are more then weapons tend not to view them only as a weapon and this will probably do more to curb gun violence then any ban would. Also, a weapon free zone is more of a political issue then anything. You simply cannot use someone's political speech as a dis-qualifier for office once they are hired or elected simply because you do not agree with it. The only time that is appropriate is when they serve at the pleasure of an office like governor or president (appointed officials) If that was the case, then Obama should be removed from office as well as many of the democrats. But we do not see anyone usurping the will of the electorate simply because they do not like the policies supported by Obama.(you do see people wanting to impeach him if he ignores the second amendment, but not for wanting to increase taxes or playing robin hood).

Furthermore, it is completely dangerous and mirepresenting the ideals and concepts of democracy when you demand that all politicians keep their political views silent because you do not agree with them. Our country was never designed to act this way and the first amendment as well as the constitution provides for the freedom to speech. It is so inherent in the US system of government that anyone who says anything in congress is constitutionally protected from prosecution. The entire idea of having different opinions on matters and being able to express those opinions is ingrained since the very beginning of the country and was a direct push away from traditional procedures where you could be arrested and swept away into obscurity for expressing anything that wasn't in line with the crown.
I know a lot of you democrats have little respect for the over 200 year old document we refer to as the constitution. I know a lot of you manipulate and attempt to change the meanings of wordings if you can find it suits your purpose. This is a very dangerous and poisonous well you are drinking from when you are trying to claim a politician cannot have political ideals or speech unless you agree with it. What would happen when your political foe decides to take the same tactic and all the sudden every democrat that spoke out against something was forced out of office by the opposition party.
Once again, stupid libs are not thinking things through. If an elected official looses their political speech, then so does all elected officials. Where were you idiots when Sherod Brown started comparing politicians to Hitler and Stalin? I guess it didn't matter back then because it was to your political advantage.
My gawd, you libs seem so freaking stupid- it's as if you would cut your own throats if you thought it could be to your advantage. Get a spine and stand up for what is right for once.

Hi! I'm 13 weeks pregnant and the other day had bleeding like a heavy period! I was so scared that I was going to miscarry. I went to my doctor and they did an ultrasound and found a 2cm tear in my placenta. My doctor told me that it was good news that the tear was so small and said that it would heal on its own. I took 2 days off work and the bleeding pretty much stopped within 24 hours. My doctor said that because the tear was so small, it won't affect the baby. Good Luck!posted 01/15/2008 by csackett1
I am 16 weeks preg and was in the hospital last night because I had a tear in the placenta also ! Mine is a little bigger then usually so they kept Me over night ! I am no longer bleeding but I have 3 other kids ! I have had this in everyone of my pregnancies and the Dr said my. Uterus and placenta are fragile but like the Dr said I know this if you see going to have a miscarriage there usnothin that can be done until after 22 weeks really ! I wish eveyone the best and bedrest will help the tear heal but destiny has a way ! And everything happens for a reson ! Best of luck to you all !posted 08/17/2010 by Jessie_Leanne_
I am so sorry that you are going through the same thing I am. Right now I just hit my 11 week mark and last night I went into the ER room. I found out that I have a small tear but no one would tell me the measurements. So, after I left I went to my doctors and he told me its fine. All he told me is that just as long as the baby has a heat beat then the tear can heal by itself. But, there is a 50/50 chance that you could miscarry. He told me not to lift anything, no running, no swimming, no bath's and no sex! I hope this helps out some and I wish I had more info on this. Seems like doctors wont tell you everything that u need to know.posted 09/05/2008 by colley09

New York -- New York City Pension Funds is urging shareholders to vote against the re-election of Wal-Mart Stores CEO Mike Duke and four other board members out of concerns about the chain's bribery investigation in Mexico, the Associated Press reported.

In a letter to shareholders on Wednesday, the fund says shareholders should vote against Duke, H. Lee Scott Jr., Arne M. Sorenson, S. Robson Walton and Christopher J. Williams during the company's annual meeting on June 1, according to the report.

I am a landlord and I provided copies of the lease to 3 tenants when it was signed a 1.5yrs ago, 1 of them moved out. Now I'm evicting them for non-payment and they also have 4 unathorized guest in my property for 6 months. And now they are asking for copies of the lease. Am I obliged to provide these second copies?
You will if you evict them. Might as well provide it, I doubt it contains a lease provision excusing the payment of rent.

If tenants are asking for it as part of Discovery for the summary process case, yes, you need to turn over a copy in accordance with the Uniform Summary Process Rules, typically within ten (10) days of receipt of the request unless you made some other arrangements with them or their attorney. Just make sure to keep a copy for yourself as well. Generally, evictions in MA can be difficult and expensive for landlords if everything is not done just right. You may wish to consult with a landlord tenant attorney who might be able to warn you of potential difficulties in advance and guide you through the process. Good luck!

Yes, if the tenants send you what is called a "request for production of documents," you must provide a copy of the lease. Also, if you go before a judge she/he may likely want to see a copy of the lease. It's always a good idea to consult an attorney who knows how to help you in drafting your responses to requests for production of documents.
The foregoing answer does not establish an attorney client relationship, is not confidential, and should not be relied upon in place of an actual consultation with an attorney.

I agree with the others.
If a formal request is made in discovery, then yes. However, if the lease was for one year, and you are no longer operating under a lease agreement, you may argue that it is not relevant. You may be alleging more than you need to, and I would strongly encourage you to get an attorney to assist you before this backfires, as is often the case.

I first got to know HubSpot last summer when I was researching for the report: "Interactive Marketing Priorities For SMBs." Born out of MIT's Sloan School in 2006, HubSpot is an all-in-one marketing suite for small businesses. It provides blog building, content management, SEO, email marketing, lead management and social media tools, templates, and reporting for marketers at small and medium-sized companies. The model? To provide automated solutions for multiple marketing functions together in an easy-to-use system, tailored for the SMB market. Forrester loves the idea of the online marketing suite, so we think HubSpot's approach is right-on.
Well, HubSpot just announced today that it has two new investors: Google and salesforce.com.
To me this investment signifies two things:
1) Google wants to expand its reach into marketing budgets of small companies, many of whom currently use mostly local search. I've said before that I think Google is moving away from its core search business and into expanded media opportunities like television media. I think this investment is further evidence of Google's expanding priorities, now into the SMB market.

JOHANNESBURG: The Johannesburg Stock Exchange's All Share Index hit a record high at the close Thursday, buoyed by a deal to avoid fiscal tightening in the United States.
Africa's leading index ended the day up nearly half a percent at 40,245 points.
President Barack Obama on Thursday signed into law a deal that avoids the world's largest economy being squeezed simultaneously by a sharp cut in government spending and higher taxes on consumers.
On Wednesday the JSE had already closed above 40,000 for the first time in its 17-year history.
The news was greeted with some relief in Johannesburg.
Despite a rocky year for the mineral-focused South African economy the JSE has risen around six percent over the last 12 months.
The country was plunged into crisis on August 16 when 36 striking miners were shot dead by police.
Economic growth in South Africa more than halved to 1.2 percent in the third quarter, the lowest rate in more than three years.

Dammit, I'm late for a foot appointment and I need to cross this intersection, but these three cars are on a retard parade so I have to wait until the red light!

Encyclopedia article about Amos Tappan Akerman, a Georgia lawyer who rose to prominence as U.S. attorney general during Reconstruction. He was born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, on February 23, 1821. He went south to teach after graduating from Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, in 1842, starting in North Carolina, then in Richmond County, Georgia. In 1846 Akerman accepted a position as tutor in the Savannah home of John Macpherson Berrien, U.S. senator and former attorney general. As he taught the Berrien children, Akerman studied law in the senator's library, and he was admitted to the Georgia bar in 1850. He practiced first in Clarkesville, then in Elberton. In 1864 he married Martha Rebecca Galloway, with whom he had eight children, one of whom died. He participated in drafting the Georgia Constitution of 1868 and supported equal political rights for African Americans.

Apple has issued an official statement advising iPhone owners how to overcome the problem in which the device can lose signal when held by its lower left corner.
Apple CEO, Steve Jobs also emailed one user to say: "Just avoid holding it that way."
The company advises customers who may have purchased an iPhone 4 yesterday to, "avoid gripping it in the lower left corner in a way that covers both sides of the black strip in the metal band."
Apple also said that using a protective iPhone case -- such as this -- will resolve the antenna issue. Recent iPhone 4 customers may point to the $29 cost of the case as an additional cost that isn't advertised as required for the smartphone.
iPhone 4 hit the shops yesterday, with thousands queuing outside shops in Japan, Germany, France, US and UK to be among the first to purchase it.
Within hours, customers were complaining that signal strength fell when the device was held in certain ways, this was eventually identified as taking place when the iPhone was held in that lower left corner.
In its statement, Apple said:
"Gripping any phone will result in some attenuation of its antenna performance, with certain places being worse than others depending on the placement of the antennas. This is a fact of life for every wireless phone. If you ever experience this on your iPhone 4, avoid gripping it in the lower left corner in a way that covers both sides of the black strip in the metal band, or simply use one of many available cases."
For incredibly obvious reasons, left-handed iPhone owners are particularly impacted.
Mashable speculates at what is behind the problem. Asking, "How did Apple miss this?" they note the state of the stolen prototype iPhone 4 which ended up with Gizmodo in a widely-reported pre-launch leak.
The reason the device was outside Apple HQ was because the company engages in extensive product testing. But the prototype was held inside a protective case which made the device look just like an iPhone 3GS.
"I bet Apple didn't realize the iPhone 4's reception issues because they did field testing with a 3GS lookalike case," speculates Matt Schlicht, Ustream's Product Lead for Social and Virality.
The problem is likely to lead a wave of negative sentiment toward the company and its flagship device. Piper Jaffray analyst, Gene Munster, believes Apple will have sold up to 1.5 million iPhones by Saturday night.
However, other mobile phones suffer similar problems. MacRumors points to a support thread for Google's Nexus One which warned of a similar issue in February, for example.
Despite this competitors will be hoping this problem gives them the opportunity to grab back a little market share.

The Indiana Pacers remained the NBA's only unbeaten team this season after Paul George scored 23 points and Lance Stephenson had the first triple-double of his career in a 95-79 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday.
Indiana became the NBA's seventh team to open the season with eight wins and no losses since 2000, two more wins than the club's previous best start. And they followed a familiar script in the battle between last season's conference runner-ups by dominating the glass, dominating the second half and divvying up top honors.
Stephenson finished with 13 points, 11 rebounds and a career-high 12 assists. George Hill scored 13 points and Roy Hibbert added five more blocks to his NBA-leading total. Memphis were led by Marc Gasol with 15 points and Zach Randolph with 12.
The San Antonio Spurs rolled to an easy 109-85 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers as Danny Green scored 18 points and Tony Parker had 14. The defending Western Conference champions are off to a 7-1 start following consecutive wins in New York and Philadelphia. Evan Turner scored 20 points and Spencer Hawes had 17 for the Sixers, who couldn't give coach Brett Brown a better effort in his first game against his former team.
Al Horford scored 24 points as the Atlanta Hawks handed the Charlotte Bobcats coach Steve Clifford a 103-94 loss in his first game back since undergoing a heart procedure. Clifford missed Charlotte's game last Friday night against the New York Knicks after having two stents placed in his heart. Jeff Teague had 14 points and 12 assists, while Cartier Martin chipped in with 16 points. Josh McRoberts led the Bobcats with 19 points and seven assists. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist had 16 points, but none in the second half. Al Jefferson had 10 points and seven rebounds in his first game back from an ankle injury.
Avery Bradley scored 24 points as the Boston Celtics beat the Orlando Magic for the second time in four days with a 120-105 win. Kelly Olynyk, Jordan Crawford and Jeff Green each had 16 points for Boston, which has won four straight after opening the season with four losses under first-year coach Brad Stevens. Arron Afflalo had 18 points and seven assists, Victor Oladipo scored 17 points and Nikola Vucevic had 15 points and 10 boards for Orlando, which dropped its 16th straight road game.
Blake Griffin had 25 points and 10 rebounds and Chris Paul added 21 points as the Los Angeles Clippers held off the Minnesota Timberwolves 109-107, after Nikola Pekovic missed a tip-in at the buzzer. Kevin Love missed first and Pekovic came up just short to end the Wolves' two-game winning streak. Paul had 11 assists, Jamal Crawford scored 18 points and DeAndre Jordan had 14 points and 11 rebounds to help the Clippers improve to 3-0 at home. Kevin Martin scored 30 points Pekovic had 25 points, and Love had 23 points and 19 rebounds for the Wolves.
In other games, Derrick Rose had 16 points before leaving in the fourth quarter with an apparent injury as the Chicago Bulls beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 96-81, the Houston Rockets beat the Toronto Raptors 110-104 in overtime, the Portland Trail Blazers defeated the Detroit Pistons 109-103 and the Denver Nuggets downed the Utah Jazz 100-81.
