Plan to attend:
From rhetoric to action: Achieving person and family-centered health systems
Date: June 10-11, 2013
Where: Sheraton on the Falls, Niagara Falls, Ontario
Despite much talk and some action, we are far from achieving a health system in Canada that is fundamentally designed to focus explicitly on people by being respectful and responsive to their preferences, needs and values. Person and family-centered care has been linked to increased quality and safety, reduced costs, enhanced provider satisfaction and an improved patient experience. Join us as we explore how health leaders can implement an integrated person and family-centered approach across the entire health system, including primary care, public health, acute and chronic care, mental health, and home and continuing care.
This year we are pleased to introduce a nursing leadership stream. This new stream will provide an opportunity to showcase nursing leadership initiatives as well as proving the opportunity to dialogue with healthcare leaders in other disciplines.
Online Registration is now open!
About the conference:
Co-hosted by the Canadian Healthcare Association and the Canadian College of Health Leaders, this conference is the largest national gathering of health system decision-makers in Canada and provides a forum for questions, debate, and sharing strategies and solutions to the most pressing health system challenges. Participants represent health regions, authorities and alliances, hospitals, long-term care organizations, public health agencies, community care and mental health services and social services. As well, the conference draws participants from government, education and research institutions, professional associations, consulting firms and industry.Back to Pulse

Yanukovich shrugs off criticism of election
Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich shrugged off international criticism yesterday of an election which showed his party on a winning course, while opposition nationalists alleged vote-rigging and threatened possible street protests.
With the count from Sunday's vote nearing its end, Yanukovich's Party of the Regions and its communist allies were set to retain a comfortable majority in the 450-seat Parliament to cement his grip before he seeks a second term in 2015.
The Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe, which sent 600 observers, called the election a "step backward" for Ukraine's democracy. It said state resources were misused to support the ruling party and media were biased, and noted that Yanukovich's main rival, ex-prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko, is in jail. It did not however criticise the voting itself. "The observers gave a positive assessment to the process of voting," Yanukovich said in a statement that ignored the OSCE's critical comments about the election campaign.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton backed the OSCE criticism and called on Yanukovich to free Tymoshenko.
Tymoshenko has announced a hunger strike in protest against what she called electoral fraud. Her party has yet to make a statement on results that show it placing second and losing about a third of its parliamentary representation.
The election will bring two other opposition parties into parliament for the first time, making the fractious body even rowdier – a liberal bloc led by world heavyweight boxing champion Vitaly Klitschko, and a far right group. Each looked set to secure about 35-40 seats, enough to make them viable fixtures on Ukraine's political scene.

Rye whiskey
Thu Apr 26 2007

What bar has a good selection of rye whiskey?—Dan Ray, Clinton Hill, Brooklyn
Once a favorite spirit of the (original) speakeasy set, rye whiskey is experiencing a comeback. East Village bar Death & Co. (433 E 6th St between Ave A and First Ave, 212-388-0882) has a collection of nearly a dozen varieties (some, like the Hirsch 21-year-old, go for as much as $23 a shot). Barkeep Philip Ward also mixes the hard stuff in inventive cocktails, like the Monongahela Mule—Old Overholt rye with fresh lemon juice, homemade ginger beer, mint and raspberries. The Whiskey Ward (121 Essex St between Delancey and Rivington Sts, 212-477-2998), a Lower East Side saloon, stocks the hard-to-find Van Winkles 13-year-old family rye among its 40-large whiskey collection. New Williamsburg BBQ joint Fette Sau (354 Metropolitan Ave between Havemeyer and Roebling Sts, 718-963-3404) has an eight-seat bar and a more than a dozen ryes—each about $12 a shot—including two from local producer Tuthilltown Spirits.

What Happened To Al & Tipper Gore? Experts Tell Us They Actually DEFIED the Odds By Staying Together So Long!
BFFs, you would think lasting through 40 years of marriage like Tipper and Al meant that you were in it for the long haul — turns out high school sweethearts are even MORE likely to split up than stay together!
Everyone was completely shocked when one of the most publicly blissful couples ever, Tipper and Al Gore, called it quits via mass email yesterday. So after speculation about possible adultery was quickly quelled, the question still remained: How could this poster couple for marital concord suddenly decide to part ways?
"People either just grow apart or their lives take them apart," says relationship expert Dr. David Eigen. "Al and Tipper weren't able to maintain the connection or intimacy in their marriage so it just dissolved."
Al and Tipper released a statement obtained by the AP, June 1, saying their decision to split was "a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration."
We asked experts to weigh in on why they'd be doing this so late in the game because it just didn't make any sense!
"People don't always evolve together," says relationship expert Whitney Casey. "For a while, opposites like Tipper and Al may attract but after 50-years of age opposites are just opposites."
Believe it or not, we're also told couples cite the same reason as Al and Tipper for terminating the marriage.
"80 percent of couples say it was a mutual decision," admits relationship expert Pat Love. "What this usually means is 'I'm not a priority in your life anymore' and we don't really know why this happened."
Al and Tipper met at a prom in 1965 and Tipper ended up following Al to Boston where the two ended up having four children together. Even after such a strong foundation they still didn't last a lifetime … it's kind of scary isn't it?
"When high school sweethearts marry, there is a likelihood of divorce," says psychiatrist Dr. Carole Lieberman. "Because people change so much as the years pass. Al and Tipper actually defied the odds to stay married for 40 years."
Ladies, doesn't this sound a little depressing? It's almost like there's no point of even getting married then?
"The Gores had things in common over the years namely raising kids and Al's political campaign," says relationship expert Amy Levine. "But now that these aren't in the forefront it likely became obvious they had less in common. People want to make the most of their lives, and rather than settle they split."

The Car
"Rather than being about safety or aesthetics, power or efficiency, comfort or dynamism, our aspirations were 'the best or nothing' in every respect. No other car stands for the Mercedes-Benz brand promise more than the S-Class."—Dr. Dieter Zetsche, chairman of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and head of Mercedes-Benz Cars.
Without question, the Mercedes S-Class, given that Daimler has taken the über-lux Maybach out of production, is the top-of-the-line vehicle for the company. With the development of the new S-Class, the company has set a vast cadre of designers and engineers to work on creating and crafting a car that essentially encompasses much of what the organization knows about automotive technology at the highest levels.
On Design
"The sophisticated design of the S-Class has always been an expression of luxury and automotive grandeur of its era. And our new S-Class continues this tradition. With its classic architecture and flowing silhouette, it is a modern embodiment of sensual clarity. The design draws a line from the sophisticated, progressive design idiom to the classic elegance of our 1930s cars—intelligence that speaks to the emotions. Stylish sportiness and sensual forms in synthesis with timeless clarity and effortless superiority make the S-Class a true design icon."—Gorden Wagener, vice president Design, Daimler AG
The designers went to work on developing a car that has presence without ostentation. Part of the presence can be found in the front of the car, where the grille is larger and more vertical in orientation, indicating a sense of pride. The subtlety is exemplified around back, where the backlight is rounded and cuts into the C-pillars, consequently creating a coupe-like appearance. The tail lights are integrated into the body.
On Lighting
According to Mercedes, the S-Class is the first vehicle in the world without a single light bulb. Not one. Not for exterior lighting. Not in the cabin. Not even in the trunk. It is all-LED, all-locations. The tail lamps each have up to 35 LEDs (and there are four more for each fog lamp). The headlamps have up to 56 LEDs.
A word about those tail lamps. They have multi-level functionality. This means that their brightness varies, depending on ambient conditions. For example, when the brakes are applied at night, there is a dimming of the lights so that they aren't too bright for the driver in the car behind.
Which then gets to the head lamps. There is a function—not available in the U.S. market yet, due to regulatory issues—called "Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus." What this means is that the highbeams can be turned on and left on. While this provides the driver with a great view of what's ahead in the dark (and more about the dark in a moment), it can be problematic for driver's of on-coming cars.
But the S-Class has a stereo multipur-pose camera that is located near the rearview mirror. It has a range of 500 m, and of that distance, there is 3D capability for approximately 50 m. The camera detects vehicles ahead, using an image-recognition algorithm. It finds both on-coming and foregoing vehicles. Then the system activates what are essentially shades so that the portions of the bright light that would cause problems for the drivers ahead are masked in those drivers' views. The system will activate low beams under certain conditions, such as when the S-Class is driving into a curve, and there are multiple vehicles ahead. Headlamps are also dimmed to prevent reflected glare from road signs.
Finally, on the interior of the vehicle, there are approximately 300 LEDs.
Certainly, one rationale for the use of LEDs, particularly on the exterior, is that they allow the creation of daytime running lights that have a striking, sig-nature appearance. But there is another, arguably more important, reason why LEDs are used. They are more energy efficient. That is, an LED low-beam requires 34 W to generate the same light output as a xenon lamp requiring 84 W or a halogen needing 120 W.
Sensor Fusion
About driving in the dark in the S-Class. Supplementing that massive LED array is the company's third-generation night-vision system, "Night View Assist Plus." This system uses both long- and short-range infrared cameras (the former is mounted in the grille, the latter by the rear view mirror); they detect animals up to 100 m away and pedestrians up to 160 m away. This occurs (1) when it is dark and (2) the car is traveling at speeds over 60 km/h.
What happens then is that the instrument cluster transforms from an instrument cluster to a display showing a grayscale image of what's ahead, with the pedestrians or animals highlighted in red. (Should the system calculate that it is a person, then there is a flashing of the headlamps to alert him or her; this doesn't happen if it is an animal because the flashing might have untoward consequences.)
(The reason that the instrument cluster can transform into a screen is because in lieu of physical gauges and dials, the instruments are digital. The S-Class has two high-resolution TFT color displays in an 8:3 format and with a screen diagonal of 12.3 in. The one on the left, in front of the driver, ordinarily shows the relevant gauges; the one on the right, which is central on the instrument panel, is used for infotainment and control settings.)
In addition to these infrared sensors and the previously mentioned stereo camera, there is a wide array of other sensors. There are two short-range radar sensors in the front bumper and in the sides of the rear bumper. They have a range of 30 m and a beam angle of 80°. There is a long-range radar at the front, which has a range of 200 m and a beam angle of 18°; it also has a medium-range capability of 60 m and 60°. And in the back there is a multimode radar that offers an 80° beam angle at 30 m and a 16° angle at 80 m.
There are 12 ultrasonic sensors: four in the front, four in the back, four on the sides.
There are four cameras that are coordi-nated so that they provide a 360° view around the car.
All of these are necessary because there are a multitude of functions that the S-Class offers, where the various sensors provide inputs to other systems in the vehicle. For example, there is ROAD SURFACE SCAN (Mercedes uses all-caps) that uses the stereo camera to look at the surface of the road ahead; when bumps are detected, then MAGIC BODY CONTROL is activated, setting up the suspension system to accommodate them. There is DISTRONIC PLUS—adaptive cruise-control, which uses radar—that is now available with Steering Assist and Stop&Go Pilot (Mercedes left out the spaces). In this setup, the stereo camera comes into play. It helps make adjustments to the steering torque when traveling on a straight road or where there are slight curves; it reads the road lines or a vehicle traveling ahead for its directional reckoning. In congested situations, when road markings are not visible, the car ahead is used for guidance.
Speaking of congested conditions, this leads to BAS PLUS and PRE-SAFE Brake. These systems use both the stereo camera and radar sensors to not only provide autonomous braking in the event that it is calculated that the car in front is going to be rear-ended (it can prevent collisions at speeds up to 50 km/h), but there is pedestrian detection included as well. The driver is given both visual and acoustic warnings to get on the brakes; if the brakes are applied but not sufficient to prevent a collision, there is boosting all the way up to full braking.
Seating Experience
A luxury car is primarily about the inside and the amenities than it is about the exterior or even the structure.
(But on the subjects of the interior and the structure, it is worth noting that the skin of the car is aluminum, including its roof, which is the first application of an aluminum roof at Mercedes. The passenger cell is high-strength-steel intensive. The S-Class has a torsional stiffness of 40.5 kNm/degree, which is a significant improvement vis-à-vis the W221 model, its predecessor, which measures 27.5 kNm/degree.)
Mercedes makes its own seats. There are about 600 people in a plant in Böblingen, Germany, who, on a two-shift basis, produce seats for the S-Class and the E-Class. The S-Class must keep them busy because there are five different rear seat variants alone. One of those seats, the Executive, has a backrest that reclines up to 43.5° and features an adjustable calf support. When the Executive seat is specified, the front passenger's seat is a folding "chauffer seat," meaning that it tips forward toward the front of the car and has a heel rest on its back surface for the person in the Executive seat.
Naturally, seats are heated and cooled. Cooling is done is a different manner than is typical for seats: when the ventilation system is first activated, fans in the seat pull air down from the seat surface, thereby more quickly removing heat from the hotter surface. After about four minutes, the fans reverse and blow cool air through the seat surface.
There is what is said to be a "world's first": an ENERGIZING massage function. Again, there are luxury cars with a massage function. But here there is a difference. There are 14 individually actuated air cushions in the backrest and an integrated warming function. The air cushions can simulate a "hot stone" massage.
Making It
This, the sixth-generation S-Class, is exclusively produced at the Mercedes
plant in Sindelfingen. The last-generation model went into production there in 2005, and since then more than 500,000 vehicles have been produced.
The U.S. market is getting the S550 and S550 4MATIC vehicles that have the long wheelbase (124.6 in.) and a 455-hp, 4.6-liter, direct-injected, twin-turbocharged V8. However, there is not only a short-wheelbase version (119.5 in.), but a variety of other powertrains, including a 3.0-liter V6 diesel, a diesel hybrid, and a gasoline hybrid. Meaning that with the wide range of options, to say nothing of vehicle configuration, the people at Sindelfingen are dealing with a considerable amount of build possibilities.
Recognizing this, Daimler has invested a considerable amount of money in the plant
for the S-Class, as in € 350 million for the body shop, € 130 million for stamping, and € 70 million for assembly.

A former underground Cu-Au-Ag mine located n the NW¼ sec. 6, T.12N., R.2E. (Mayer 7.5 minute topo map), on 10 claims north of the Agua Fria River, about 1 mile above the Stoddard Ranch, near Mayer. Discovered by I.T. Stoddard. Started Aug 1916 and closed Mar 1919. Reopened during the period 1920-1923. Ultimately closed 1947. Owned by the Arizona-Binghampton Mining Co.
Mineralization is comprised of 3 lenses 10 to 15 feet maximum width, one of which, at least, is 100 feet long and extends down to the 600 foot level. Fissile gray-green schist strikes N.10ºW. and dips 70IW. It is greenish and consists mainly of a pressed quartz porphyry. The three oreshoots are as follows: 105 shoot is 100 feet long & extends down to the 600 foot level; the 91 shoot is 50 feet long and, at most, 10 feet wide; and the 94 shoot (no information). The oreshoots result from the replacement of schist by fine-grained quartz that is not significantly crusted. Ore concentration was oxidation at near surface. Alteration was chloritization and sericitization.
Area structures include foliation and transposed bedding in metavolcanic rocks that trends N-S to N15W. Massive sulfide lenses parallel stratigraphic units.
Workings include an approximate 1,000 foot deep shaft (3 compartment), 600 foot deep shaft, 1,000 feet of adit and 4,000 feet of other workings. Production was some, 8,000,000 pounds of Cu in concentrates (150,000 tons of ore at 3% Cu with 2 oz. Ag/T.

The New Zealand men's hockey side celebrated their historic win at the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup in low-key style, choosing instead to focus on some Olympic-sized aspirations.
The Black Sticks beat Argentina in this morning's final in Malaysia, with a drag flick from Andy Hayward enough to separate the sides and secure a maiden title for New Zealand at the annual tournament.
But captain Dean Couzins said, rather than revel in their success, his side were reserved in their celebrations - with their eyes immediately switching to the year's main prize.
"It was a pretty quiet night," he said. "We've had quite a long tournament - seven games in 10 days - so everyone was feeling pretty tired. But it was nice to be able to sit back and relax with the boys and have a few laughs.
"We've got loftier things to play for this year but it's nice to get this one."
No prizes for guessing the heights Couzins and his team were targeting. The spectre of the London Olympics looms large over many New Zealand athletes and, with their first game in eight weeks' time, it is no different for the Black Sticks.
Couzins felt this tournament both the ideal preparation for London and a handy confidence boost as New Zealand seek their first hockey medal at an Olympics since the famed 1976 gold medal-winning men's side.
"I think we're where we want to be heading into the Olympics, in terms of our preparation and how we're playing," he said. "This tournament has lifted [our confidence] even more - we beat some sides we could play in the Olympics and we put in some good performances."
Between the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup and December's Champions Trophy - in which New Zealand, as hosts, finished fourth - the Black Sticks have now tested themselves against nine of the other 11 teams at the Olympic tournament, something Couzins saw as imperative.
"We had a good tournament at the Champions Trophy, where we finished fourth and got some results against some top-ranked sides, and that gave us a lot of confidence. Now we know what we're going to be up against in London, we'll take some positives from that."
Another positive was the way New Zealand grafted out the result this morning despite a less than stellar performance. New Zealand were made to work for their trophy by a side they had thumped 5-2 in pool play, converting their only penalty corner and defending doggedly to claim the spoils.
"It's good to win games without putting out your best performance," Couzins said. "We've played pretty well over the course of the tournament, and at this stage it's about getting the result more than anything.
"A lot of us have been coming to this tournament for a while now so it's great to finally win it. We've watched a few too many finals over the years, so it was awesome to finally play in one and get the win.
"It's great to be sitting on the bus with the trophy beside you."
The team will return with the trophy to New Zealand, where some players face a nervous week ahead of the June 12 announcement of the Olympic squad.
"It's going to be a tough next 10 days for the guys," Couzins said. "When the team gets named there's going to be a few disappointed guys and that's going to be tough - but there's no way around it, really."

The FASTER Way to Ignore TABOR
Tune in to Devil's Advocate this Friday night as I am joined by Rich Sokol of Legacy Capital Group and Tom Ryan of Analyst Strategy Group for an examination of how the 2009 FASTER legislation has allowed Colorado to issue $300 million of new debt without bothering to ask permission from Colorado voters as required by the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights (TABOR). That's Friday, May 27 at 8:30 PM on Colorado Public Television 12. Re-broadcast the following Monday at 1:30 PM.

First period summary: Bruins-Flames
|03.27.10 at 1:45 pm ET
The Black and Gold faithful have not seen that in a while.
Boston broke its power play funk at 14:08 into the game with its first chance on the man-advantage. The penalty was set up by Mark Recchi who had a point-blank chance on Flames' goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff and was hooked to the ground in the process by Craig Conroy. On the ensuing power play the Bruins cycled from the corner to the blue line where the double Dennis tandem of Seidenberg and Wideman exchanged the puck with Wideman turning it back to Seidenberg in the high slot for a one-time slap shot that had eyes all the way to the back of the net at 14:08.
The strike breaks the Bruins scoreless power play streak at 0-for-22. Their last man-advantage goal was a Marco Sturm second period strike on March 9 against the Maple Leafs.
Tim Thomas got the nod for the Bruins and was solid in the first period in shutting down the Flames 12 shots on goal. The Bruins have the edge in the shot department heading into the second with 14 total on Kiprusoff.
Defenseman Mark Stuart sustained some type of injury to his face in the final minute of the period and skated off the ice straight into the tunnel and the dressing room.

Well, it appears that the company is quietly steering away from using the MOTOBLUR moniker with their products – especially when it wasn't uttered even once in the press materials for the Motorola PHOTON 4G and TRIUMPH. Moreover, a Motorola spokesperson went on to confirm that the company is steering away from the MOTOBLUR name. In fact, it isn't the first time we've heard of such things, because it was actually mentioned by Motorola's very own Sanjay Jha last year.
In actuality, the choice was made primarily due to some public feedback they received about it – albeit, some parts of its social networking aspects will continue to live on with future devices.

st: Multinomial logit for panel data?
Wed, 8 Jul 2009 14:41:56 -0400
I have a large panel dataset (about 14000 individuals over 84 periods
– unbalanced). I want to get to the limiting distribution of
distribution dynamics for 2 separate groups. Is anyone aware of the
way to analyze this?
–markov- does not work on panel data and –xttrans- produces a single
transition matrix by lumping all of the transitions into '1 old to 1
new' transition. Ideally I would want a dynamic panel data model but
the dependant variable is a quintile so it seems to me that
multinomial logit or probit is in order. Thanks for all of your help

When you see MIRROR, MIRROR entertains you. No One wants to hurt you anymore. This feeling of wonderment at your own memories, so akin to melancholy, is it's gift to you. And then it doesn't hurt anymore.
These days there are so many ways to hurt. The bees are leaving and I think I know why. Memories are lighter than air. Floating past this atmosphere, just as we will. Try and remember how you loved the crisp air on a clear fall day. We are following you into your own memory. And there is something there that wants to hurt you. Let it out. Let it breathe awhile.

Re: Where is the game? PS Sore - 12.45 a.m - 14 june
its still only showing the 1.3meg theme, where is the installer?
I dont know why USA is doing preorders like this on the EU store you can download the game days/weeks before release and then soon as it is midnight of the release for the game it becomes playable
Re: Where is the game? PS Sore - 12.45 a.m - 14 june[ Edited ]
No where on my screen does it say available at 12:01 pacific time. It says only to make sure you have 27GB free. When it is 12am where a person lives then their PSN store should update accordingly. If Wal-Mart would have gotten the game in I wouldn't have to lower myself to buy the digital version. Bad night all around with this game.
Re: Where is the game? PS Sore - 12.45 a.m - 14 june
Just did some research on PST and currently it is Thursday june 13th 4:52 pm. So we have about 7 hours until the download is available. **bleep**! who is even living in that time zone? I have no idea why Sony decided to go by PST.

Artist Cai Guoqiang who is well known for his spectacular gunpowder artworks including his artistic direction in the Beijing Olympics, continues to experiment with innovative ways to use fireworks to paint the sky. One of his latest projects took place in mid June of this year and was titled ' Sky Ladder'. True to its name, the project was about animating the sky with fireworks shaped like a ladder that began as a dream the artist had over 21 years ago. The magical ladder which spans 1650ft high and 18ft wide was cast with a large balloon to hold up its structure. And just before sunrise the fireworks began, and the ladder began to take shape one step at a time towards the sky:

Great for spot recognition
By Karen in HR
from Dallas, TX
About Me HR Manager
Best Uses
Comments about Baudville Pop-Up Pocket Praise - You Deserve a Medal:
These are great little cards, allowing you to give quick, on the spot recognition to employees. I used them recently to write personal notes to a team who has been working long hours on a key project. I also keep some handy in my office, so when someone does something "above and beyond" I can write a quick note to recognize it. I've seen them posted in people's cubes, so they seem to be a hit.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
The long seven months between the Super Bowl and the pre-season is over. The new look New England Patriots are on the field warming up at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay awaiting the kickoff of their first pre-season game of the year against the Buccaneers.
A lot has changed on a team which came within one first down of beating the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC Championship game and heading the Super Bowl.
What seemingly was a depleted wide receiver corps last year has been completely revamped. It began with the free agent singings of former Miami Dolphins receiver Wes Welker and former Saints first round pick Dante Stallworth. Then the big ball dropped on NFL draft day as the Patriots traded for perennial Pro Bowl icon Randy Moss.
The defense added only the best free agent on the market, versatile linebacker/lineman/safety Adalius Thomas from the Ravens. It seems like a match made in heaven as the multi-talented Thomas is the perfect player for head coach Bill Belichick's dynamic defense.
Some pre-season stories include the ongoing contract dispute with cornerback Asante Samuel, who was a league leader in interceptions during the 2006 season. The Patriots have franchise tagged the four year pro for an estimated $7.79 million, one year deal. Samuel yearns for a multi-year, big money contract which the Patriots have balked on.
To replace Samuel for the time being are two new faces and two old ones returning. First round pick Brandon Merriweather out of Miami and veteran Torry James from the Cincinnati Bengals will hope to fill in, along with the returns of injured secondary stall worts Rodney Harrison and Eugene Wilson.
Will Laurence Maroney be able to carry the whole load with the absence of the released Corey Dillon? Will Brady's new arsenal of receivers pay off? Can the secondary withstand a Samuel-less season, especially with the season ending knee injury to Chad Scott? All these questions begin tonight in Tampa!

West Windsor, NJ (September 21, 2009)-- Garden Commercial Properties, developer, owner and management company for The Square at West Windsor, located in West Windsor, New Jersey, has confirmed that Trader Joe's Grocery Store will open a 11,000 square foot store on September 25, 2009.
Trader Joe's, a privately-owned company based out of California, will join co-tenants Lowes, Fidelity Investments, Ethan Allen, Thomasville, Sleepy's Mattress, and Pier One Imports at The Square at West Windsor.
A specialty grocery store, Trader Joe's will carry a large selection from their private label, as well as everyday items such as dairy, produce, and meats, poultry and fish. (www.traderjoes.com)

Jonathan Frieder, managing partner for Garden Commercial Properties, has said, "We are very excited about the addition of Trader Joe's to the center, and to the West Windsor and Princeton Market."

Foreign Policy: Russia announces it will withdraw from a post-Cold War deal to dismantle nuclear and chemical weapons when it expires next year. Is this what President Obama meant by a "reset" in U.S.-Russian relations?
The so-called Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction program, which had been renewed twice by the U.S. and Russia, was a major post-Cold War success.
It led to the deactivation of more than 7,650 strategic warheads from the old Soviet Union, and seemed to put the former USSR onto a far more peaceful path. It helped seal President Reagan's hard-won U.S. victory in the Cold War against its former foe.
But after four years of Obama's weak stewardship of our nation's national security, the Russians are saying "nyet" to renewing the deal in 2013. It's easy to see why.
Everywhere they look, they see U.S. weakness and a failure to respond to overt provocations by others.
They see world affairs as the U.S. retreats from previous strong alliances, such as those with Britain and Israel, and ignores or downplays others, including our ties with Japan.
Why continue to disarm after losing a cold war if your enemy is already busy disarming itself?
In announcing the move, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov seemed to take a contemptuous dig at both the U.S. and the president. "The agreement doesn't satisfy us," he said, "especially considering new realities."
Those "new realities" no doubt include Obama's feckless "reset" — another word for U.S. capitulation to the New Russia's neo-imperialism under its strutting dictator wannabe, Vladimir Putin.
It's enough to make you wonder, isn't it? From the very beginning, Obama's "reset" has included a series of diplomatic moves that clearly weaken the U.S. position in the world, particularly against Russia.
One of the first things Obama did on entering office was to break America's promise to its allies in Eastern Europe, Poland and the Czech Republic, to place missile interceptors and radar on their soil. This was a huge gift to Russia.
Not a year later, at the New Start talks in 2010, Obama gave away America's nuclear edge, agreeing to disastrous cuts in our nuclear arsenal far in excess of what Russia promised and putting missile defense on the negotiating table.
The idea, Obama says, is a nuclear-free world — a utopian idea that has proved dangerous as Iran, North Korea and other rogue nations pursue nuclear weapons. Not only is the world not "nuclear-free," but some of the most dangerous regimes on Earth are now on the verge of threatening us with nukes.
By setting a new tone, Obama suggested, Russia would be far more reasonable in its foreign policy.
Reasonable? In a bit of muscle flexing, it cut off gas supplies to Europe shortly after Obama was elected.
It has failed repeatedly to help the U.S. end Iran's nuclear program, and indeed has instead supplied the mullahs with nuclear know-how and fissionable materials.
Russia continues to stir up trouble in our own hemisphere, forging close ties with Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, who now surpasses even Castro as Latin America's No. 1 troublemaker.
We've asked for Russia's help in solving the murderous civil war in Syria, a country that Russia has particularly close ties to. It's done nothing.
Earlier this year, Obama's fixation with appeasing Russia became clear after he was caught whispering to Russian President Medvedev that after the election, he'd have more "flexibility" in his relations with Russia.
Given the record, it's hard to imagine Russia could get any more from a president. The ultimate "reset"? A new president in the U.S., one who understands reality and realistically calls Russia our "No. 1 enemy."
His name is Romney.

A death row inmate in Oklahoma, 50-year-old David Magnan - who admitted to intentionally killing 2 women, a man, and injuring another - has been granted a release on a court's order due to a technicality.
Magnan pled guilty in Seminole County District Court to 3 counts of 1st-degree murder and 1 count of shooting with intent to kill on March 3, 2004. He was sentenced to death by lethal injection.
But Magnan's conviction was overturned Friday by the 10th US Circuit Court of Appeals after it was determined the triple homicide had taken place on an Indian reservation - official Native American land where the state technically has no authority or jurisdiction.
Only federal and tribal laws have prosecutorial authority on reservation territory - providing a legal loophole in this case.
Therefore, Magnan, a member the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux tribes, was removed from death row at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester, where he'd been for nearly 10 years.
The judgment came with the presumption that federal authorities will intercede and re-arrest and prosecute Magnan, given the homicidal nature of the crimes and admitted guilt in the triple murder and wounding of other members of the Seminole Nation.
If he is ever tried federally though, it's likely Magnan will not face the death penalty as it is rarely imposed in federal courts.
The killings occurred in 2004 inside an inherited Seminole residence, where family and friends had gathered to celebrate a birthday. Magnan drove to the home with 2 other men, where he shot and injured Eric Coley who'd come outside to speak to him.
Court records state Magnan then entered the house, noticed James Howard, said "goodbye," and shot him.
Karen Wolf and Lucilla McGirt were also shot. Lucilla died from complications stemming from her gunshot wound 2 weeks later.

Prince William, Kate in Seychelles for honeymoon
The newly-weds flew to Seychelles in a private jet Monday and will be there for a 10-day romantic break.
London: The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have finally left for their honeymoon to the Seychelles, known for its beautiful beaches and tropical seas.
The newly-wed royals flew to Seychelles in a private jet Monday and will be there for a 10-day romantic break and will shell out 4,000 pounds-a-night for the villa they are staying in, reports contactmusic.com.
A spokesman for St James's Palace said: "We are not confirming and we are not commenting on speculation on where they may be going on their private honeymoon, we are just confirming that they have gone. The couple have asked that their privacy be respected during their honeymoon."
The two got married April 29 and an insider said: "After the glitter and excitement of their wedding and all the organisation it involved, they can't wait to spend some quality time on their own."
Britain's Daily Mail has quoted another source as saying: "It's one of the most incredible places you will ever visit and Catherine will have the time of her life. It's everything you could want from a honeymoon destination and more - beautiful beaches, tropical seas and complete privacy."

Your Real Address
A working contact number.
Playa Name
Camp Name
Camp Address.
It's important that you put your real name and contact info on everything. If there is an issue w/ the containers and you want your stuff back, I'll guarantee you the shippers or authorities are not going to bother to try to contact Little Lord Puffy Pants, they will reach out to John or Jane Doe.
A lot of stuff gets left behind or mistakenly picked up by others during load out. W/ out real contact info, there is no way to get this rectified.
Once the containers are unloaded we are not responsible for your stuff, we have left stuff on the side of the road if no one comes to get it. Don't let that happen to you
Remember, we are Volunteers and we GUARANTEE NOTHING.
There is no guaranteed arrival date on the playa. Once it leaves Philly, we have NO control. It has been made it clear to the shippers the nature of the shipment and that it can be an issue of someone's survival if the container is late.
Please either purchase or bring your own yellow topped bin. You can easily get these at either Home Depot or Lowes. If you have odd sized items that do not fit in these bins, you will be responsible for the volumetric rectangular space it takes up in 6 cubic feet units rounding up. Space on the container will be sold in 6 cubic feet increments for $42, which roughly translates to $7.00 per cubic foot. That's $42 to ship your bins round trip to BRC and back to Philadelphia. If you have larger containers or other odd shaped items such as PVC poles, they will be measured the same way in 6 cubic foot units. If you have a very large or odd shaped package, let us know asap at firstname.lastname@example.com
Please buy what you need. We will not refund, you WILL be responsible for loading the ENTIRETY of your purchase at once, and be legally responsible for its contents.
Container Vital Specifications:
Inside Dimensions: 8' 3" Wide x 8' 11" High
Door: 8' 2"(w) x 8'11"(h)
• Important: please pack your bins fully & tightly! All loose items must be contained in a box or crate. Please use strong, durable, and reusable packing containers (as indicated above or better) since things will be stacked on top of your boxes. EVERYTHING MUST be ready to ship in a HEAVY DUTY bin. PLEASE DON'T cheap out on this as no one wants all of your stuff strewn about the playa if your bin busts. Your boxes must be well sealed and use zip ties for the yellow top bins. You will also want to use the same boxes to return your things home in. Cardboard and brittle plastic containers are NOT a durable, reusable, or strong shipping container in most cases, and will be crushed and rendered unusable for the return trip. Hundreds of pounds of items will be packed on top of your bins. People will walk on top of your things. Items will be jostled when the container is lifted from train to train. It's not a moving truck so things will not be secure. Carpets must be rolled and bound tightly. PVC piping or conduit must be taped together. Loose or bagged (trash, shopping, or other thin plastic type) items are not acceptable! Army bags, backpacks are OK - keep in mind that they will be crushed.
• We are not responsible for any lost, stolen or damaged items.
• ALL BIKES MUST BE BOXED. ONE (1) STANDARD BIKE BOX IS EQUAL TO TWO (2) TICKETS. You must purchase 2 tickets per bike box - if you show up with one ticket and the container is sold out, your bike won't fit on the container.
All bicycles must be taken apart and put in boxes. NO objects may stick out of your box whatsoever. Things will be packed on top of each other. If you love your art bike, take care to protect it. Build a crate and load your bike in. Maybe you can stuff some extra supplies and tools in that crate if you do it right. If you do not prepare your bicycle as described above, it will not be put on the container.
• If you have a very large or odd shaped package, let us know asap at firstname.lastname@example.com
• DO NOT ship crates that are impossible to move! Use common sense when building crates. If 1-2 people can't move it, your crate is too big! You are also not allowed to load a large empty crate into the container, and then load it once it is in the container.
• DO NOT ship drugs, guns, fireworks, illegal contraband, life forms, etc cannot be packed on the container. Your mistakes will jeopardize the entire Philly Container Project!! If we catch you with anything suspect, expect your items to be burned and you to be tarred and feathered and banned from PEX for life.
• Nothing flammable at high heat or questionable allowed. This means NO GENERATORS unless they are brand new, or have been completely dried out. We will check gas cans/tanks. If a container is not dry, it will not go on until you empty and dry it out. NO gasoline, gas of any kind, explosives, pressurized canisters or illegal substances. These containers will get VERY hot during their cross country trek. Consequently, anything that can be damaged by extreme heat should not be shipped on The Container. Take this seriously. This container will be on rail and in the sun for 10-12 days - without any ventilation. Any slow leak or evaporation of combustible materials/solvents could turn the box into a firebomb.
We reserve the right to open any container to check. If you blow up and/or cause the container to be searched because of suspicion of illegal substances, you risk delivery of the entire container if you do not follow these rules. Your goods must be packed in accordance to these guidelines in both directions or they will not be loaded in!
• Everything MUST BE LABELED for the Philly load-in and then on the Playa for the return trip to Philly. The label must have your name, camp information (if applicable), and when you will be unloading your things on the playa (so we can order the load in a bit). If is not labeled, it will not be packed in the container. Labels and Tags must be durable so they don't peel and come off. We recommend tags that tie on or marking directly with a paint pen, or laser printed stick on labels. Unlabeled items will not be loaded into the container. If you are splitting up your space or give it to someone else, then all names must be on the label! This means the label should have the name of the person who bought the space as well as the name of the person using the space.
This should include:
Your Real Name
Your Real Address
A working contact number.
Playa Name
Camp Name
Camp Address.
• If you are shipping an art car in the container, you must provide us copies of the "ticket" you receive for your vehicle. When vehicles are approved for on-playa inspection, the owners receive an invitation by email that is their "ticket" through the gate. This email includes the name of the vehicle and owner, and clearly states that vehicles without invitation letters will not be allowed into the event. There will not be any exceptions made - if you have a vehicle that falls under the DMV rules, you must provide this documentation. If you show up with a vehicle without proper documentation, we will not ship your vehicle. No refunds. Please provide us with hard copies of your paperwork on load-in day and forward us the email you received from the BMORG. Please refer to the DMV website for all relevant information.
Loading the container is hard work. This is a community driven project and as a collective effort, it is everybody's responsibility to load/unload their own stuff as well as help load and unload the container in Philly and on the playa. We ask that you consider this when planning your arrival and departure times. Bring beer, drinks, or food to help fuel the loading. : )
• Philly Load in
The Load-In date may change, please check back soon!
If for any reason you cannot be there that day and will be having someone else bring your things YOU MUST let us know by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com and send your items with a NOTARIZED legal waiver which we will send to you prior to load-in.
• BRC Unloading
Container unloading will begin when the container arrives on the Playa, please check back for exact arrival dates! The container will only be open at certain hours. It will be closed by 10pm every night. And will open in the morning. It will remain open all day. Please be careful moving things around in the container. Please reload anything you removed while digging for your stuff.
• Post Burn Load-in
Reloading on the playa is the most difficult part of the process. This load-in begins on Sunday, September 4th from 10 am to 5 pm. You will need to RELOAD your things during these times. DO NOT just drop your things off at the container and leave without loading them in and helping out others. WE WILL NOT PACK YOUR THINGS FOR YOU from the playa. If the container is closed and you leave your things on the side of the container and take off…THEY WILL NOT BE PUT ON THE CONTAINER FOR YOU. Bad planning, flights and rides, and poorly thought out travel arrangements are no excuse for not loading your own stuff and sticking around and helping load up! If you drop unlabeled items off, there is no guarantee that you will end up with it back in Philly. You have been warned. Container loading will end and doors locked Sunday @ 6pm.
• Container Unload in Philly
Container load out is mid September on a weekend. Check back here for more information. Come early to help unload and get your stuff immediately. There WILL NOT BE ANY STORAGE AREA at the unload site, so please arrange to have someone pick your things up and help unload if you can't personally make it. If your items are not picked up on Unload Day, there is truly no place to hold them, and they will be left on the sidewalk.
• • Things NOT to do:
*Dropping things off at the load-ins and leaving without loading your stuff in the container.
*Dropping garbage off at the container site or shipping garbage back Philly.
*Not labeling items clearly.
*Not reloading items you unloaded that were in your way when unloading on the Playa.
*Using the container as storage during the week. Come get all of your stuff early in the week so you can play with it.
*Abandoning items at the loading/unloading area.
*Shipping hazardous or illegal materials.
• • All sales are final. No refunds or exchanges will be issued. Service fees are non-refundable.
• • By reserving space, you agree to all the above.
If you have any questions please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com

Those thinking they can improve their twilight years by saving more during their working lives or staying on past retirement age, are in for a rude shock.
Workers on an average wage who put aside an extra 5 per cent of their salary will lose roughly the same amount from their age pension on retirement, PricewaterhouseCoopers's head of retirement and asset consulting, Cathy Nance, said yesterday.
And those who work past the retirement age will be taxed at an effective rate of 60 per cent.
The Age reported on Wednesday that an average couple would need $43,350 a year to retire comfortably ($23,800 for a single).
This means a couple needs $475,000 on retirement ($425,000 for a single) to supplement the age pension. A modest lifestyle would require $23,550 for a couple and $16,930 for a single.
The problem is that, with the average retirement lump sum at less than $70,000, the bulk of Australia's retirees are looking at a modest retirement income, rather than a comfortable one.
A comfortable lifestyle includes eating out occasionally, owning a dishwasher, air-conditioner, computer, digital camera, buying newspapers and CDs and having top private health insurance.
According to the Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia, which commissioned the report, an average couple would need to save an extra $90 a week over 30 years, with singles squirrelling away an additional $118 a week, to reach a comfortable lifestyle.
Ms Nance said extra savings and working longer came at a cost. She said the pension system was a disincentive for most.
About 200,000 people retire each year. This is expected to rise to 250,000 a year in 2010, and around 300,000 a year in 2020.
Ms Nance said even if an average worker saved 5 per cent of their wage a week, or about $75,000, on top of their $150,000 in employer-paid superannuation, the age pension would be means tested and reduced, effectively wiping out the extra savings.
"We are telling people to save more, but essentially they are not going to be any better off. Our means-testing arrangements are not providing any incentives for the average Australian to save beyond the 9 per cent level," she said.
To make matters harder for those now approaching retirement age, Ms Nance said those who opted to work longer would not only forego the pension, but also be taxed on their earnings, giving them an effective tax rate of 60 per cent.
ASFA, which is encouraging people to save more, argues these issues can be addressed by good financial planning.

The timeline can provide useful visual clues to
understanding the progression of historical events, and Clifford Pickover has
employed this mechanism to its fullest. In The
Math Book (2009), The Physics Book
(2011) and The Medical Book (2012;
Sterling Publishing, $29.95 each), Pickover relates milestones in the history
of the books' subjects. On each two-page spread he ties an important event,
person or discovery to a particular (or, in some cases, approximate) year. The
left-hand page holds the date in large type along with the text; the right
shows a related image. (The image at right, from The Medical Book, is reprinted from Andreas Vesalius's 1543 book De Humani Corporis Fabrica; it
accompanies an entry on early descriptions of cerebrospinal fluid: in 1736 by
Emanual Swedenborg and in 1764 by Domenico Felice Antonio Cotugno.) This design
may not lend itself to depth, but it is both attractive and captivating. The
books' starting dates vary: The Physics
Book begins with the Big Bang at 13.7 billion B.P., The Math Book with the "ant odometer" at circa 150 million B.P.
Succinct descriptions make it easy
to flip through and pick up a few facts perfectly suited for cocktail-party
conversation. Colorful, eyecatching illustrations depict everything from a
pseduosphere in The Math Book (which
is a shape that has a constant concavity over its entire surface) to the common
cold in The Medical Book. A subject index
at the end of each book aims to make
it easier to find references when you don't know which date to look for, but it
can be a bit spotty. For instance, in The
Physics Book, the flyleaf promises the book will answer the question,
"Could we really be living in The Matrix?" But the only subject entry related
to matrices has nothing to do with the movie. It take some digging to figure out
that the referenced section is "1967: Living in a Simulation," which never
mentions the later movie by name. Nonetheless, in today's fast-paced world, the
bite-sized entries in these three books make for quick and enlightening

Tda1543a S1
I went shopping a found this shop who had a pile of TDA1543 in a tray. Mixed up in there were TDA1543, and TDA1543A. The shop does not know the difference. The interesting thing is that the TDA1543A had S1 marked on it!
Does anyone know if this is the same nomenclature as the S1 in the TDA1541A i.e. I have found a goldmine?
Anyway, I got four pieces, and used them in paralel with my CD player that uses a CXD1135 chip. I tapped the BCK, LRCLK and DATA directly from the chip ( could not find the datasheet and hence I probe the pins to find a 2MHz -BCK, 44.1kHz-LRCLK, and a random signal that dies when the music stops - must be the DATA ). That works fine.
Comparing to my TDA1541 R1 NOS DAC ( 6922 tube buffer ), it sounds good indeed. Much more lively sound but cannot beat the smooth sound of the TDA1541 for vocals.
I do not have a TDA1543 DAC as I do not have I2S and cannot compare if the S1 makes a difference. Will try that this weekend. I have made a simple shift register to covert the Sony ( EIAJ ) to I2S and then I can do an AB compariison.
Wish me luck!
So which shop izzit?? Care to share...??
Hey man
Is there a chance you can send me a couple of these (1543A S1)
You mind emailing to me about this? firstname.lastname@example.com (just remove the _NOSPAM_)
I tried to email you directly but it didnt work.
I have an old sony cdp(M-18) that i cannot find manual for, and would like to upgrade/tweek it to get the best outta this old thing
Its got regular 1543A on it.
Pls see my thread: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showt...threadid=23424
I also was thinking of altering the output stage, but without the schematics there is not much that i can do. Seems like your CDP is somewhat similar (got similar ICs), I'd appreciate if you can share your experience.
Also does stacking several DACs makes a lot of a difference?
I am also planning to get a Bottlehead Foreplay preamp between the cdp and my SS Hafler amp.

OK. Replies to two guys.
1. Li Gangyi, the shop is at Sim Lim Tower, at the basement. They are wholesalers and do not cater for the diy crowd. The typical answer you get from them is "no" even before you get a chance to say the part number. I dress up a bit better to look like a trade customer, and ask for some initial sample purchase to check on the part. I guess I can go back and buy more samples. Anyway, I do not know the name or address of the shop, but will go down to Sim Lim again next week, and post the shop unit number. Meantime, let me see, I have two Creative CD-ROM drives, 1 pioneer CD player, 1 Sony VCD player....... I better go buy all I need before everyone rushes there to buy up all their stock.
2. Static, if I can get more, I would not mind posting to you. I would be more than happy to do a swap with anyone who can supply TDA1541A S1. Just tell me the exchange rate. How about 4 to 1? Ill e-mail you seperately.
Also, I read your post on your predicament. Actually, just forget about all the analogue stuff. Just built a passive non OS DAC using 4 parallel TDA1543A. Plenty of projects out there in the web on doing this. Tap the three signals, get a 8V supply, and you are done. I probe around to get the pins for my CXD1135. It will be the same for the CXD 1125. The next time I open up the board again, I will post the pin outs. As for the CXD2500, I do not have the datasheet, but my computer CD ROM drive uses this chip. I will be poking around with a scope to get the three lines when I get some time. Will post the pins as well when I get around to doing that.
I attach a picture of the chip.
Two weeks ago,I purchsed 70 PCS of TDA1543/TDA1543A(used all) ,cause I wanted to build some TDA1543 NOS DACs in the future.
I found the "R1" of TDA1543(Not TDA1543A) in them ;) ,but only 2 PCS.:xeye:
I trust what CM said is true.
X.G pls send me a pm
what means the "PM"?
Maybe after a few days, I take some pics .
cm, if you can get more S1s, can you also share some with me? I do not have 1541 S1 here, but I can manage to get you something else? Or simply I can just pay for the 1543. True or not, I think those S1s are worth of a try.
2 Attachment(s)
the pic of those TDA1543/TDA1543A I buyed.
The two pcs of TDA1543R1 are in the centre of pic.
sorry,my poor English and photo tech.

Ripoff Report
Sears3333 Beverly Road Hoffman Estates, Illinois United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I bought a Kenmore Air Conditioner from Sears on August 11, 2011, Sears sent (Harper heating & cooling) to install the air conditioner, Three days after it was installed ice was building up on the furnace along with a puddle of water surrounding the furnace, The technician told me after he installed it to always call him first if there is a problem (I thought that was suspicious as if he had something to hide) so he came back and put some silver tape around the part dripping the water and swore it was fixed, meanwhile Sears was calling to sell me on extended warranty for the air conditioner, so I did due to the pricey cost of it. Sears warranty is a ripoff! Sears is laughing all the way to the bank everytime they make a sale.
By the time I had the air conditioner installed summer was ending so I thought well at least I'll have it ready to use next year 2012, Sears told me to call in May,2012 for a yearly maintenance check, I did just that, the man that came out said the freon was low but is now good, about two weeks later I turned on the air conditioner and got the same problem of ice building up on the furnace and puddle of water surrounding the furnace.
I called Sears to fix the problem but, was given the runaround, each representative claimed that only a man name (Adam) could take care of the issue, I became more frustrated and decided to call Sears Holdings in Illinois, I talked to their resolution rep name (Picole) who was no help! worse was that I was told that the technician (Harper heating & cooling) was terminated from Sears and that no other technician was available Finally, they sent a man name (Mike) to check the problem on June 05,2012, I was told that the Compressor was damaged and that the air conditioner might be too big for my home. I haven't enjoyed the air conditioner since the date of installation. Sears is the worst company I have ever done business with, Sears is highly deceitful and is only out to take your money. Over ten years ago I bought a defective color television from Sears, when will I ever learn that Sears should have been put out of business a long time ago by our justice system?

The distressed Gold Coast office market is Australia's worst as the city's main industries, tourism and property, continue to languish.
Vacancy across the office market improved marginally to 21.8 per cent from 22.4 per cent in the second half of 2011, the Property Council says.
Colliers International expects a faster recovery this year. "From July this year we believe the vacancy is likely to go below 20 per cent because of the lack of new supply coming on and a lack of contiguous space," Colliers Gold Coast office leasing director Ed Howard said.
The improvement over the six months to December was driven by leases, particularly in the Broadbeach market, where the brand new Oracle development attracted several key tenants such as Macquarie Southern Cross Media.
Broadbeach recorded a significant decrease in vacancy from 29.8 per cent to 16.5 per cent.
However, Mr Howard said the Gold Coast office market was not seeing a lot of new tenants but a lot of consolidation from groups outside areas not taken in by PCA figures.
"They are the ones who are filling up the new space," he said.
While Broadbeach has improved, CBRE's senior director of office services, Tania Moore, said Surfers Paradise had softened, with an increase in vacancy of over 4000 square metres. "The shift in vacancy between the precincts can be attributed to a clustering of tourism, property and finance-related businesses establishing in Broadbeach, which had previously been the domain of Surfers Paradise," Ms Moore said.
Office vacancy in Surfers Paradise jumped from 23.8 per cent to 26.9 per cent in the period.

A few days after her husband, Jesse Jackson Jr., resigned from congress, Alderman Sandi Jackson filed a series of amendments to her ward committee's campaign fund. Ald. Jackson's amendments disclosed transactions that go as far back as the year 2009 that had previously not been disclosed. According to a Sun-Times review, among the transactions were at least $13,000 in transfers from her husband's congressional account into the Alderman's ward organization account. Prior to the Congressman's resignation, these transfers had not been disclosed.

Bradley Beal has tried to "fight through" his right wrist injury ever since his awkward landing on Jan. 18 after a hard fall in Denver. Beal got up and made two critical free throws in the Wizards' 112-108 victory that night, but his shooting form and accuracy haven't been the same. And after being held to just six points and getting benched for all but three minutes in the fourth quarter of Monday's loss to Sacramento, Beal has decided that it might be time to take a rest.
"I'm a tough kid. I feel as though it has to be broke in order for me not to play," Beal said. "At the same time, I want a long career in this league and I have to take care of my body and I have to do what's best for myself and my team. And I feel if I can't make shots for my team then there is no purpose for me being on the floor. I'm definitely going to continue to support my team and just try to let this thing heal on its own."
"I have to take time off," Beal said. "It's hard to do that, but I have to live with it."
Beal was held out of Tuesday's practice and wore a protective brace over his wrist, with a splint to limit its movement. Coach Randy Wittman said he sat Beal as a precautionary measure but wasn't certain if the rookie would be available when the Wizards take on the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday at Wells Fargo Center.
"I'm anticipating yes, but obviously I think there is a chance maybe not. We'll see," Wittman said.
In his past six games since getting injured, Beal has been slumping, averaging just 8.8 points while shooting 35.7 percent from the floor (20 of 56) and 30 percent (6 of 20) from beyond the three-point line. In his first nine games in January, Beal averaged 19.2 points while shooting 47.7 percent from the floor (64 of 134) and 60.4 percent (26 of 43) from long distance and posted five 20-point games, including a career-high 26 points in Sacramento on Jan. 16.
Beal shot just 2 of 6 in Monday's rematch against the Kings but was adamant that his wrist hadn't given him any trouble during the game. Wittman, however, felt that Beal appeared hampered, which led him to lean more on Jordan Crawford and Trevor Ariza down the stretch. He added that the team will have to be careful with a 19-year-old who has a strong desire to be on the floor, no matter what.
"You've got to keep that in mind," Wittman said. "I like that in any of my players that want to tough through it. There is a difference between an injury and being hurt. He's a tough kid, he wants to play. We also have to have an understanding that if it's affecting his play to a certain extent then you have to look at some rest."
If he is forced to miss any games, Beal said that there would be no timetable and he wouldn't play until his hand got right. "I guess it's somewhat day-to-day and see how it feels in the next few days and then let it heal. I've been playing a lot. Maybe that's what it is. It's a little injury," he said. "It's not 100 percent. If I feel as though I'm can't help the team like I was previously, then I'm not going even going to play."
Beal has managed to play through the pain, but he credits that an adrenaline rush that eventually wears down over the course of the game. "When you're in a game, you're going, going, and going. And then, all of a sudden, it starts hurting and then adrenaline stops. And you're just thinking about your wrist all the time, or your injuries. It comes a point where I'm sitting on the bench and it starts aching."
Beal has only missed two games his rookie season, and that came after Hawks forward Josh Smith blocked his layup attempt and Beal landed on his backside and banged his head on the hardwood. Nuggets center Kosta Koufos knocked him down as he attempted a baseline drive.
"I haven't been the same ever since. It was just the fall," Beal said. "My shot's not even the same. If you see it, it's totally different. And I can feel it in my wrist. It bothers me. [During the game against Sacramento,] for some reason, it wasn't bothering me. But now, it just came back, so I'm not going to keep irritating it and making it worse."
Koufos didn't receive any more than a personal foul on the play and Beal said the incident didn't warrant any more action from the referees or the league.
"Whenever somebody lands like that, you always question whether or not it was a flagrant or not," Beal said. "But if a player makes a play on the ball – like Josh Smith, he made a play on the ball – I wasn't mad at all. I was mad 'cause I fell, but I couldn't be mad because he made a play on the ball and I think the guy from Denver made a play on the ball as well. He asked me if I was all right, and it wasn't a dirty play. So I'm not holding a grudge against him."

Well, it looks as the import of BareAbouts to Inkspeare went well. Everything was imported to this blog, and now I can keep blogging to my contentment. There is only one issue, in some posts, the font will be different and smaller in some sections, but it doesn't hurt – my apologies for that, but it is something that happens with the import and cannot be avoided.
I decided to mesh Inkspeare and BareAbouts because they are both my passion – my life is my work and my work is my life – so it is all good and one and the same. I hope you enjoy some of the posts that were imported.
