Use of Copper Banned in 300 Civilian Items NPA Order Aims To Save Metal For Defense Work Washington The govern- ment today prohibited nonessential use of copper in more than 300 ci- viliau products, effective March L The banned uses vange from pots and pans, building hardware, furniture and electrical appliances to jewelry, toys, cocktail shakers j and paper clips. The order was issued by the Na- tional Production Authority to con- serve copper for "defense and de- fense-supporting said Wil- liam H. Harrison, the NPA ad- ministrator. Throughout the list except in the case of such items as toys and other nonessentials copper will be permitted where it serves a functional purpose, as in working parts, and where no practical sub- stitute is available. 'Bright Work' Cut But the NPA action completely eliminates copper from "bright work" and trim on automobiles, as well as in auto wheel disks, de- frosters and heaters, gas tank caps, mirrors and brackets. Also on the forbidden list are copper door hinges, house num- bers, clothes hangers, cabinet and furniture hardware, drains and downspouts, radiator covers, roof- ing, shower parts, towel bars, weather stripping, and windows. Use of copper in virtually all dress and clothing accessories, ev- en to snaps and hooks and eyes, is barred. .It is forbidden as well in costume jewelry, ash tnays and humidors, fireplace fixtures, trunk and luggage hardware, automatic pencils, clock cases, umbrellas, and tableware. In the field of consumer dur- able goods, the only, permitted use of copper will be as an electri- cal conductor or working parts in such household items as washing machines, vacuum cleaners, re- frigerators, floor polishers, food mixers, toasters, hair driers, tric irons and electric razors. Harrison emphasized that the or- der does not forbid the manufac- ture of the articles themselves. And Vicinity will be ready for the increased power de- mands that accompany mobilization for war.

Improvements Gird Community For New National Defense Role This mid-20th century year of 1950, which started the slide to the year has been a year of transition in another fashion. As the world has turned from one half century to another, so have Winonans all Americans turned from one thing to another. On the one hand, Winona and nearby communities have been absorbed in community improvements. For instance: In Winona, a new high building volume was set, and such large and expensive projects as a new cathedral for the diocese of Winona, a new Lincoln school, a doubling of steam electric power and a new Y. M. C. A. were either started or were under way, A tremendous highway improvement program was at its peak. Across the river, in four Wisconsin counties alone, about was spent on highway construction or major re- pairs. In Winona, a five-year sanitary sewer and. water mam ex- tension program Involving over 20 miles of lines was virtually completed. In Winona employment surged back uver the 10.000 and an all-time high, something over J is predicted in 1951. That new all-time employment high was tied with something else the other thing Winonans, and all Americans, were turning to: War. As the year was ending there was plenty of indications that the Korean incident had brought to an end a brief peacetime inter- lude of five years when communities could concentrate on themselves: It was guessed, on this eve of 1951, that possibly some 600 Winonans viight already be serving in the armed forces, by reason of the draft, by voluntary enlistment, by recalls of Reservists and shortly by the federalization of the local National Guard company. At least three Winona. firms had contracts directly related to the expansion of the armed forces. Some 50 families in eight Southeastern Minnesota and West- ern Wisconsin counties had been notified that their sons, or hus- bands, had become casualties of fighting in Korea. The transition back to mobilization came almost before Americans had slopped talking -about the shortages and the civilian curtailments of World War II. There were rumors, for instance, during the year that the supply of new automobiles had finally caught up with the demand; true or false, by the end of the year some manufacturers were already again restricting civilian production. But this brief peacetime interlude of five years has been productive for this Hiawatha valley region. Some of the the last of the quintet of years, 1950, are summarized on the inside pages. _____ State Airports Part of Area Defense Plan St. Paul Minnesota's pri- mary and secondary airports as well as civilian aircraft will be used in a defense setup an- nounced Friday by L. L. Schroeder, state aeronautics commissioner. Plans for using the airports and aircraft were distributed today among airport managers, service operators and aircraft owners. Schroeder announced at the same time that a meeting state evia- tiori directors from Minnesota; Wis- consin, the Dakotas, Iowa, Illinios and Nebraska has been called for next Thursday and Friday at Des Moines to co-ordinate defense plans. Colonel E. B. Miller, stale direc- tor of civil defense, said at the same time that the state-wide sys- tem of primary and secondary air- ports "is our second line of civil defense in transportation and com- munication." "The airports removed from the centers of Colonel Mil- ler said, 'provide idea! assembly points for personnel and material. The several thousand available air- craft will be invaluable in case of emergency or disaster for bringing into stricken areas, supplies and trained personnel, and for the pur- pose of evacuation." WEATHER Decision Asked On American Position Abroad Dulles Suggests Ring of Steel Around Russia By Jack Bell Senator Spark- man (D.-Ala.) proposed today a I full ssale Senate debate on for- eign policy to help settle the ris- ing controversy over Western de- i fense plans. Sparkman, who served as a member of the American delega- tion to the United Nations, told reporters he agreed with John Fos- ter Dulles that the United States can never make its defenses im- pregnable by abandoning Europe I and standing alone. But. he added that the issue ought to be discussed in the Sen- ate "without name calling" so the country will get a better chance to decide between the views of President Truman, Sec- retary of State Acheson and Dulles on one side and former President Hoover on the other. Hoover has proposed that U. S. create a Gibraltar of de- fense in the Western hemisphere and not "land another man or an- other dollar" in Europe until Eu- ropean nations "erect a sure dam against the red flood." Dulles, on the other hand, said in a New York speech last night that the free world should join in ringing the Soviet orbit with eco- nor.iic, political and military strength. Citef Lack of Confidence The G.O.P. foreign affairs advis- er to the State department added that the "only effective defense for us and for should the So- viet union decide on open war, "is the capacity to counterattack." Senator Taft speaking al Cincinnati, said: "There is a great lack of confi- dence in Washington felt through- out the whole country. We are con- tinually wavering between panic and reassurance. One moment we are told that Russia will attack tomorrow; and another, that we can work the whole thing out in time." Senator Douglas (D.-I11.) said that, by implication, Dulles "has put the finger on the weamiess of the Hoover position if we aban- don Europe and Asia we give up most of the air bases we need to defend ourselves against attack." The top Republican foreign pol- icy adviser, in a speech before the American Association for the Unit- ed Nations, said five years of the cold war with Soviet Russia had shown that "only as we sought to help others could we save our- selves." "Solitary defense is never im- he said in a cloaked reply 1o former Republican Presi- dent Herbert Hoover's recent de- mand for a revised foreign policy. Hoover urged that the U. S. with- dravy from Europe and Asia and make its oceans the frontiers of an American Gibraltar. Instead, Dulles suggested an ec- onomic, political and military ring around the Soviet world to make Russia pay dearly for any new ag- gression. Then, Uie free world will have the "capacity to counter-attack" all-out war comes, Dulles declar- ed. However, Dulles admitted that not every free country on the rim of Soviet power can be made safe Stassen Conferring In South Africa Capetown, South Africa Harold E. Stassen, president of the University of Pennsylvania, had a long private talk Friday with Prime Minister Daniel Malan. Robert Matteson, an American research expert who is accompany- ing Stassen on his current world tour, said the talk with Malan was "most cordial, friendly and en- lightening."

Feet of steel!
Haha! I love the foot adventure Heath! Just think when you come back to town you will be able to jump up and down on Junko's foot torture machine, and go climbing with me! :) I am loving the entries, reading every single one. I have to admit it makes me tear up to read a lot of them. It's all so simple and happy like life is supposed to be. I am so very happy for you two. K back to reading more. ;)
Big Day in Bukuya
Loading Map
It's Saturday. We take our morning visit to the house that has the bathroom (Heath's Fiji Mama Ni-chee) and wash up and sit to have what becomes our ritual chat with her familly. (H of HI: I now know why our friend Justin had a Fiji momma. It's actually pretty easy. The older Fijian woman love to "adopt" foreign boys as their sons. Mine is only 49 years old, but she doesn't care about that. " You have to come back to visit your Fiji mama next Christmas, yes?" I know what your thinking, "what's my mom going to think about that?" Well she's fine with it, and wants to come along so Fiji momma can meet MOMMA. I couldn't ask for anything better.)
Our "hike" is barefoot, thru the jungle, with the boys at the front cutting a way through with
their matchetes. (H of HI: ok here is where i look like a wuss again. What is all this? I'm sharing all my low points it seems. But I'm telling you all of these were such growing experiences. You think your pretty tough and can handle most anything and then you go on a trek with these mountain Fiji men and reality sets in. When we came to the river they didn't want our shoes to get wet, so they said to take them off and one of them would carry them for us. I don't know if you've seen my feet, but they look like chicks feet and are not tough at all. SO as we're walking up the river looking for prawns, I am in excruciating pain walking on the rocks. I'm in imense pain but i have too much pride to say anything, though it's obvious if you watch me delicately creep along, while everyone else including Ingrid is just walking and hopping around in what, as how it should be and is for them a playful manner. We start heading back to a trail, so I look up to find the guy that has my shoes, and find that he is way up the river now and will meet us at our final destination, the waterfall. I am miserable at this point, but decide to just put the nose to the grindstone as we trounce through the jungle towards the waterfall. The hike ended up being about an hour or so, but i did find that walking on the paths in the jungle was a little bit less stressful than walking the river. When we finally got to the waterfall, you have to cross over at the top of the fall, after traversing up a narrow slippery rock ledge. Yes. I'm afraid of heights too. Not only did i almost panic on the ascent and have to hold Sevu's hand I'm ashamed to say, but I slipped at the end of the waterfall crossing, and thought I might go over. Sevu helped me back up and the end of my terror trip was almost over. The whole time I couldn't help thinking that they all must think that i need to stay back with the girls next time. But, in the end, they were always cool, and acted like it was no big deal. In the end it was a miserably wonderful trek. It really made me value their feet. I realized, if you allow the feet to adapt, they can handle about anything. On top of that, no shoe on the planet has better grip in or out of water than the bare foot. I've been working on making my feet tougher every day since! Although i did wear my shoes back down to the village. They had had enough for one day.)
I of HI: We go for about an hour, up and down, throught the steep hillsides that they tell us is the plantation where they come everyday to work. They grow taro, cassaba or tapioca, and kava, which
sustain the village. If they make no money selling kava, they subsist on these hearty starchy roots. The plantation boss disappears into the bushes and comes back with a banana for me! It is my favorite gift. A
little while later he disappears again and comes back with a pineapple!! I love this man. Meanwhile we wind up and down to the river, and the guys catch shrimp with their long shrimp spears!! At the waterfall, we hike around and jump in and swim in a neverending staircase of pools and falls. We set up our picnic perched on a ridge up at the top of a fall, with the water gushing by us.
We laze around for hours by the waterfall - it's Saturday Funday, they do not have to work the plantation, they do not have to do anything, it's Boys Day Out:) They are so deft with their knives - a boy gets one when he turns 19, and they use them for hacking away and trees and roots, and also for deftly peeling the skin off a taro. Skills.
The Watertower
quick game of Trump!! (again, i can't believe we know the same card
games:) Then we are ready for the Stairs...20 years ago the Chinese government determined the village had enough people to build them a hydro facility. So the have electricity! They also have the "stairs" - 900 or so stairs up the steep hill following the hydro pipe to the top of the hill. They use this for rugby training. We want to climb too. Despite the low altitude, it kinda kicks our butts:)
The view from the top looks over the village spread out across the hillside and the whole mountaain range for miles. Rain is coming from 2 directions. We hike the long way down and pick guava's off the trees as we go. It's back to the playground for volleyball before the downpour! Volleyball is awesome, the "court" sits a level higher than the rugby field, and is edged by the same steep dropoff!!
All the kids are really great at vball, it's all they do when they have spare time (no tv:)
The rain turns the clay to a slick layer and we run home, again they hold us up as we climb down with their strong, patient grips.
In LA, Dan had said if we go to Bukuya, we should spend a night at the Chief's house, and must bring a gift of Kava. By Saturday, i feel like i just want to stay "home" and spend more time with our friends. Sat. night, we learn that the chief is off visitin another village, so i get my silent wish!! and we realize now we have a ridiculously huge kava stash that we can give to our BK family instead!! It worked out perfectly. They are pretty damn excited about the half kilo of kava, and David and Sevu and big Joe give a little ceremony of thanks that they perform when they receive a gift.
We spend another night of singing and dancing. I am wearing my Sunday Funday t-shirt and a pink sarong that Buka leant me. I have introduced the village to some of my silly dances and the night becomes a fiesta of those, with my buddy Eli yelling Shake Shake! (you;ll see it in the video.)
We left early in the morning after another breakfast of bread and tea and milk and sugar ( 3 times a day I am an addict now) but this bread was wheat and hearty and made in the village, and the best bread we had all trip! The goodbyes were sad, with promises to send pictures and come back and tell people to come here. And come home for Christmas:)
I give Buka some extra money on the way out (we have a feeling that most of the money we paid stayed with Moses in the park) and Heath give Mama Niche some money for using her bathroom and to buy herself a birthday cake. My mind starts running on all the ways to give them a little something else, and all the things to include in the care package when we send them photos. I can't wait to put it together. Heath is looking for a guitar for Sevu.
The ride down was so quick and comfy in a zippy little truck.
We get to the airport with a few extra hours before we need to be there but we relish in the break from interaction and just zone out.
The vision I had of our week in Fiji seems so funny now - relaxing on beaches, sipping
pina colada's on a movie-like beach scene.
We didn't see a single other tourist. And we drank the water. I didn't get ill on a single thing until we got to the bloody airport and I was overwhelmed with choices and had veggie stirfry, a mini lamington cake, and a slice of pizza. Then we got the bug.
Post your own travel photos for friends and family More Pictures
Feet of steel!
I have to agree. Its like reading a book that you can't put down. I look forward to all the new entries.
Re: Feet of steel!
Thanks Devin, they're getting tougher every day! I really have been walking on rocks and whatever other torturous objects i can find, every day. It's kind of an obsession now. I also like humping on rocks everyday...well at least today.

BMW Financial Services Failure to honor settlement; Heavy-Handed Collection Tactics; Collection calls before 7am and after 9pm Hilliard Ohio
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
The entire Lease-End process has been a complete nightmare, (unprofessionalism, disrespect, lack of integrity, absence of decent and ethical behavior and blatant disregard for Federal Law). Not to mention a complete and total lack of customer service or appreciation for the preceding nine years of loyalty to the brand. It surely seemed that since I chose not to renew a lease with BMW, I was going through a "divorce" and anything but an amicable one at that. From the initial disposition & inspection of 10/26/12 to date, the rudeness, arrogance, misrepresentation and incompetence has been rampant.
The Final Account Statements have been a "moving target" with changes in the amount due, (always increasing), occurring on at least three different dates. Regardless, I promptly paid $4,338.66 for charges I was in agreement with and could understand. I also desired to display "good faith" that I was not trying to ignore the debt. I stayed in constant communication with BMWFS, "begging" for an accurate Final Bill so I could pay the balance. All the while, I'm receiving collection calls at my office, after I requested they cease. I asked on several occasions, via telephone & email, that I be contacted on my cell, NOT on my office line. I explained that any call to my office would result in voice mail since I travel extensively and am rarely in the office. Nonetheless, the calls to my office continued for over five months. I also received several collections calls on Sundays before 7am and during several evenings after 9pm; which I believe is in complete violation of Federal Law.
I returned every call only to be treated rudely and with contempt. The only thing the representatives cared about was collecting, what they showed, to be the full amount due. I never received answers to my many inquiries to justify or explain the charges being billed. Finally, during April of 2013, it was mutually agreed upon that I pay an additional $1,303.57 of the $2,328.57 remaining balance to settle the account.
As of April 8, 2013 I paid to BMWFS a total sum of $5,642.23, leaving $1,025.00 in dispute. The collection calls stopped immediately, as did the collection letters so I had complete belief the matter was, in fact, resolved and closed. That is, until September 9, 2013 when I once again started receiving collection calls demanding the $1,025.00. I've spoken with both the Collection Agency and BMWFS explaining what I've outlined in this correspondence, that I had a verbal agreement to settle the account with payment of $1,303.57 during April. The only response was "there is no record or documentation" to support "your claim". So, to add insult to injury, now BMWFS will not honor their commitment/agreement and has turned the matter over to an outside collection agency, which has most likely damaged my credit.
I have respectfully asked BMWFS to honor the agreement made earlier this year and consider this account closed and matter fully resolved. I have asked that the collection calls cease. I have also respectfully asked BMWFS to remove any and all derogatory and negative reporting related to this matter from all three credit bureaus. All requests have been refused with continued demand for the full balance due.

SUBMITTED: Thursday, November 21, 2013POSTED: Thursday, November 21, 2013
Let's first talk about the calls. They are considered an original creditor and unlike Collection Agencies do not have to follow the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. So they can effectivly call you at any time..even if you request that they don't. Now, if this is a collection agency they must abide by the FDCPA. Which while it doesn't have restrictions on the days(so yes they can call on Sunday) it does on the time. But if you do want them to stop calling you must send them a Certified Letter stating you do not want them to contact you by phone.
You NEVER talk to them over the phone or e-mail. ALL of your communications MUST be through the mail. Anything you send them should be sent Certified Mail with Return Receipt. If you make a "settlement" you do not pay them a single dime until you get a copy of the settlement in writing.
Without something in writing you have zero proof that an agreement was made. So unless you can dispute it with the Collection Agency it sounds like it was a legitimate debt and you probably owe it.
Now, if you do settle with them realize that YOU are still responsible for paying taxes on the settled amount(the amount you didn't have to pay). This is because the IRS treats the amount that they are not requiring you to pay is considered unearned income. If this amount is over $600 they can and will report it to the IRS on a 1099. Meaning if you do not declare it and pay taxes on it the IRS can come after you for additional taxes and penalties. I tell you this because very rarely will a company tell you this little bit of information. But if you don't believe me you can of course consult a tax attorney or accountant.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

I have laptop with win 7 and a PC with vista ultimate and for the life of me can't network the two, so I can use the printer on the PC. I done all file sharing checks in the network sharing center on both machines. Installed drivers for the printer on the laptop as well. Still no joy, well at my wits end could with any advice in resolving this issue thanks. The printer is connected to the PC, both the PC and the laptop on the same network wirelessly. Is this a compatibility issue?

If you have Ethernet, you could set up an ad-hoc network between them. You would only need one Ethernet cable though because, to my understanding, if a computer has Ethernet and is connected to and ad-hoc network, it will share the Ethernet wirelessly over the ad-hoc. So if you create an ad-hoc network on a computer with Ethernet and connect the other computer to the ad-hoc network, they will both be on the same network and be able to network share. The only downfall is that the computers can't be more than 30ft apart.

DescriptionCoral snakes are among the most famous snakes in Nicaragua. They are not abundant and they are not easy to find, but they are one of the few truly venomous snake species living in the country. With its strong venom this snake is capable of killing a human adult, but fortunately this rarely happens. Coral snakes are not aggressive and generally only bite when threatened.
Another similar species is the False Coral Snake, which is often confused with this species. False Coral Snakes, however, are not venomous. The two species can be differentiated by observing the coloration: 'true' coral snakes have yellow bands next to the red bands, whereas 'false' corals show a black band next to the yellow one.

Australian miner
Macarthur, the world's largest exporter of pulverised coal injection (PCI) type coal, said its sales for the three months ended June 30 were 1.32 million tonnes, bringing full-year sales to a record of 5.32 million tonnes, up 15.3 per cent from a year ago.
It had forecast full-year sales of between 4.8-5.0 million tonnes.
Earlier this month, Macarthur raised its full-year net profit forecast by about 10 per cent to be in the range of $115 million to A$125 million, compared to an earlier forecast of between $103 million and $113 million.
Macarthur, which aims to double its production by the end of 2014, was recently a takeover target but managed to drive away US suitor Peabody Corp and local miner New Hope Corp.
The collier said total annual sales was ahead of the guidance range of 4.8 million tonnes to 5.0 million tonnes.
Macarthur said the June quarterly sales were down compared to the June 2009 quarter because sales in that period were at a record level due to a sell down of coal stocks associated with the global economic crisis.
The company said its annual production in fiscal 2010 was up 7.7 per cent, at 5.03 million tonnes, but was down eight per cent in the June 2010 quarter compared to the prior corresponding period.
"This is a significant result for the company especially given the economic environment at the beginning of the financial year," Lihir said.
Macarthur, which owns 73.3 per cent of the Coppabella and Moorvale joint venture, had been seeking to buy a further seven per cent stake in the project, but abandoned the move this week.
Macarthur is the world's largest producer of low volatile pulverized injection coal (LV PCI) used for steel making.
Sales of LV PCI represented 95 per cent of the total sales tonnes from the Coppabella-Moorvale joint venture during the June quarter, and 93 per cent for 2009/10.
During 2009/10 Macarthur was the target of unsuccessful takeover bids from US coal giant Peabody Energy and New Hope Corporation Ltd.

Because– true story– Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland were there (sans shade, I assume) for no particular reason and totally crashed a karaoke party for no particular reason, and well. Yeah. I'm gonna start doing karaoke, LOL. Click inside for more!
First of all, can we talk about the fact that you can now rent your own karaoke room and party with your friends there? Insane.
So, here's what happened. These three girls were partying their asses off in their private karaoke room to the point where one of them even passed out, and in walked Beyoncé and Kelly. Just as the girls were singing Bey's Party. LMAO. Here's what the Karaoke bar posted:
Insane, right?
Now my absolute favorite picture in the world is that first one. Can you imagine being the friend who passed out?! WTF? You wake up later like, 'Oh, man. Did anything happen while I was asleep?' LMAO! Fail. Epic, epic fail. But such a great story to tell the kiddies. Love it.
OMG, an even BETTER pic of passed out girl, with Bey and Kelly! Thanks PITNBr Fifi4life!

Discussion in 'Draft Zone' started by Hoofbite, Feb 27, 2010.
Not bad for 5'8''
What does height have to do with it? Taller people have generally longer arms which makes lifting more difficult as there is a larger range of motion.
Just pointing out he's a smaller guy...........
A better point would have been "Not bad for a 172 lb guy".
He benched more than his weight 20 times. Pretty impressive.
i would hope he could do that much at that weight. i did 225, 7 times@ 145 in highschool. so 225 20 times@ 172 after a 4 year college weight program should be pretty standard.
Look up the reps NFL DB's do. (Almost all CB's are bigger then him, yet most do less reps)
He weighs less then almost every WR this year, yet benched more then everyone (tied with Benn and Jones for the most)
arent the wr working out tomorrow :S
true but he was a running back in college, upper body is more important to an RB than DB and WR which is why i would expect 20 reps. 20 reps is about the minimum for RB. i think 18 is what is expected from DB/WR. not saying it isnt impressive for his size but still nothing i wouldnt expect. short arms help too lol.
It sounds like you are seriously butthurt. You weren't nearly as strong as mccluster in high school, sorry brah. PS. from accounts of players training with mccluster, he's a beast in the gym, so i'm not sure where this "upper body" is more important bs came from
not at all. and if you don't know that upper body is more important for an RB than a WR/DB then i cant help you. i also don't know what players saying about his workouts has anything at all to do with anything i or anyone else has said?
i also never said i was close to his strength in high school i just pointed out that after 4 years of a college strength program that though his reps were impressive for his size they were not eye popping, rather what i would hope and expect from him based on my similar stature and age( I'm 5' 10" 165 and 22 btw)
but i do appreciate your attempt to belittle me.BRAH.
Because they're on a complete strength program, like running backs concentrate on upper body. Legs are just as important for a RB because he's getting hit by 6'4 250 linebackers that run 4.7's and he has to keep his footing. McCluster is probably pound for the pound the strongest person in the draft. 20 reps of 225 is a max of around 350+ which is unbelievable for a dude that's 5'8 170.
And yes, when you say "short arms help" and "i'd hope he could do that much after 4 years in college, it's standard" is ridiculous. Iupati at 6'6 and nearly 150lbs more than Dex got 27 reps. If you can show me a natty athlete that's stronger than Dex at 170 lbs i'll give you complete props.
you might want to read and think before you post. show me where i said that legs aren't important? or even as important? you wont find it. what i said was(for the third time) upper body is more important for a RB THAN IT IS FOR a WR/DB, because that is what i responded to(a comment about WR/DB reps).
he is def pound for pound one of the strongest( though the guard that did 45 reps @310 is prolly pretty close) I'm not taking anything away from him but it is what i would expect(i did not say it was standard as you quoted me as saying BTW) after 4 years in a D1 strength program.
i have a gymnast friend back home that puts up 350 @155. my work out buddy puts up 445 @185. and just for ****s and giggles i decided to see how many reps of 225 i could put up, i got 15 which is about right cause i know my max is around 315, I'm @165 and we are all natural and its something we pride ourselves on.i workout to stay in shape, not get bigger, stronger, faster like these guys do in college so yeah i would expect to be around what d mac does if i played D1 football.
and yes short arms do help, it is a physiological advantage for that test and it can not be disputed.
Love the guy - not sure where he could fit in on this team unless we make a cut somewhere else, but he's a winner.
I'll second everything this gentleman just said.
Well put.
Back to McCluster though... I'm not one to say that I was always in support of someone or something when I wasn't, and I definitely wasn't a fan of McCluster's. My main concern was his size/strength/durability, but the 20 reps he put up indicates that he's fairly serious in the gym and goes a long way towards allaying my concerns...
I'm starting to think he's a guy worth taking a chance on.
thank you sir. ive watched some ole miss games over the past couple of years(cause of oher) and he has impressed me, he is a playmaker and i would love him in the second if he is the best guy on the board. considering half of the top defenders coming out this year are from the sec i think that goes along way in speaking about his ability.
He has great hands, runs great routes and knows how to create separation. Make him our 6th WR.
Every time I watch lil Dex, he seems to stand out. He's just an impressive athlete.

Airline Slogans vs. Political Slogans
Perfect Timing for Trip
In the past, certain high-profile voters threatened to leave the country if their choice lost (although onetime-American Airlines celebrity provocateur Alec Baldwin claims he never said that). If your candidate loses, do you want to get away? If so, the timing couldn't be better.
Airline Dead Zones, Airline Sales
Traditionally, early November and the first couple of weeks of December are considered airline dead zones, meaning few wish to fly during these pre-holiday periods. The result: cheap airfare – and this is underscored by all the low prices listed on airfare deals blogs. Plus, while most airlines advertise sales that expire anywhere from one to three days, there are several unusually long sales now underway from airlines like American, JetBlue, Southwest, Virgin America and more. The current deals include airfares for as little as $49 each-way.
JetBlue Election Deal
Last month, JetBlue advertised an "election protection" contest for those who wished to leave the country if their candidate lost. The winner, who will be named sometime after the results are in, gets a free ticket out of the country to one of the carrier's 20-plus international destinations. And just in case the contest winner decides to give the winning candidate another chance, the ticket also includes a return trip home.

Bird Design and Aircraft Evolution
Speaker: Geoffrey Spedding, University of Southern California

Date/Time: Friday, February 22, 2013, 3:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Alternative flying machines (in the sense that they differ from our usual designs) can be invented, or studied. In all cases, it is reasonable to wonder whether a particular design is optimal, or perhaps what it is optimal for. Definitions of optimality quickly become complex: minimum drag:lift ratio for n passengers that allows our company to outcompete our rival(s) or something that can be grown fast, still works when 50% of the aft surfaces are missing, and that fits in a nest. We will consider two examples of flying devices, one evolved and one invented, and we will look for parallels that exist between them, or perhaps ought to.

The concept of a unified trinity is important in Anthroposophy. Steiner found the concept of trinity fascinating and fundamental. He saw threefoldness as a basic cosmic principle.
In some ways, the highest trinity described in Steiner's doctrines coincides with the Christian concept of the triune God — three persons in one. But the Anthroposophical take is, as usual, distinct.
Here are some quotations dealing with this subject. The first several come from prolific Anthroposophical author Roy Wilkinson, writing explicitly about the triune Godhead. We will then look at numerous statements by Steiner about trinities of various types.
"The names of the gods or divinities are as varied as the peoples and it is not proposed to list them here ... In the Western world the gods have receded ... This does not mean, however, that the gods no longer exist and for those who, like Rudolf Steiner, possess extended faculties of consciousness, the world of higher beings is still accessible ... Above [man], in the spiritual world, are three ranks of higher beings, reaching to the Godhead which is so far beyond him as to be incomprehensible in his present state of development." — Roy Wilkinson, RUDOLF STEINER: An Introduction to His Spiritual World-View (Temple Lodge Publishing 2005), p. 185.
[Temple Lodge Publishing 2005.]
"The human being is...exposed to the forces of advancement and retardation, of good and evil, of God and the devil ... In very rough outline it can be said that the Hierarchies provide substance, then impulse and activity to awaken activity. The activity is transformed into inner life which then proceeds under its own impetus and become creative. Man will become 'like God' ... [T]he highest members of the First Hierarchy, the Seraphim, receive the impulse from the Godhead to create man and an environment in which he can evolve, i.e., the solar system ... [The lower members of the three Hierarchies have subordinate tasks fulfilling the plan of the Godhead." — Ibid., pp. 186-188.
"All is born out of the creative activity of spirit-beings or Hierarchies, which collectively are under the guidance of the Godhead." — Ibid., p. 84.
"[I]t was the intention of the Godhead to create a being [man] who would eventually be free to take his own development in hand." — Ibid., p. 123.
"In order that man could develop according to the ideas of the Godhead, the physical body had to be endowed with many potentialities." — Ibid., p. 189.
It may be worth noting that while Wilkinson, true to Steiner, says that the Godhead is so far above us as to be incomprehensible, he nonetheless confidently tells us what the Godhead has in mind. If you find a contradiction in this, you may not be helped much by the following statements from Steiner himself, which expand the discussion of Godhead to Trinity (or trinities) in various forms.
Herewith, Steiner on trinity and trinities:
"The Seraphim, Cherubim and Thrones are for us the highest Hierarchy among divine Beings, because they have already passed through their solar system evolution and have risen to mighty cosmic deeds of sacrifice. Hence it is that these Beings have come into the actual direct vicinity of the highest Godhead of which we can speak at all: the Trinity, the three-fold Divinity. Beyond the Seraphim we have to see that highest Divinity of which we find mention by almost all nations as the threefold Divinity — as Brahma, Shiva, Vishnu, as Father, Word, and Holy Ghost. From out [of] this highest Godhead, this most exalted Trinity, stream forth the plans for a new cosmic system. Glancing back at ancient Saturn we say to ourselves: before any of this ancient Saturn came into Being, the plan of it had grown within the divine threefold Unity. But the threefold Unity has need of Beings to execute its plan. These Beings must first prepare themselves for the task. The Beings who, are so to speak, nearest God Himself, who, as is beautifully expressed in Christian Western Esotericism, 'bask in the light of God's countenance,' are the Seraphim, Cherubim and Thrones. These take up the plans of a new cosmic system streaming from the divine threefold Unity. This is naturally expressed more figuratively than it really is, for we have to express in human words such sublime activities, for which, in truth, this human language has not been created. No human words exist to express such sublime activity as that, for instance, when the Seraphim, in the beginning of our solar system received the highest plans of the divine Threefold Unity containing the evolution which our solar system has to pass through, namely Saturn, Sun, Moon, Earth, Jupiter, Venus and Vulcan." — Rudolf Steiner, THE SPIRITUAL HIERARCHIES (Anthroposophical Publishing Co., 1928), lecture 5, GA 110.
"It was the special talent of Oriental wisdom, pre-Christian wisdom, to understand recurring development as a triad. The grandeur of this ancient world view was limited by what we may think of as a predisposition in favor of events that recur and are timeless. And when this world view comes to a conclusion, trinities confront us everywhere, and fundamentally these represent the clairvoyant perception of what lies behind coming into being, passing away, and renewal. Brahma, Shiva, and Vishnu, this trinity of creative forces is the foundation of all things. In the time preceding Krishna's revelation it was recognized as a trinity that could be perceived through clairvoyance, and it was seen as Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. The image of this trinity exists wherever time is seen only as the successive recurrence of the same.
"The significance of a new era is recognized when the gift of seeing events in historical perspective arises, that is, when time is taken into account in relation to evolution, when time is looked upon as a real factor. It was a special task of Western knowledge to develop a historical sense, to penetrate into the truths of history. And the two streams in human evolution coming from East and West differ in that the East looks at the world unhistorically, while the West, prompted by a new impulse, begins to look at the world from a historical point of view. It was the world view of the Hebrews that gave the first impulse to this historical viewpoint." — Rudolf Steiner, THE GOSPEL OF ST. MARK (Anthroposophic Press, 1986), lecture 6, GA 139.
"Those people who lived more to the West went through different experiences. There we see remarkable and important inner events in the evolution of mankind. Let us take the case of a remarkable philosopher of the sixth century before the Christian era, Pherecydes of Syros. He was indeed a remarkable philosopher, though present-day philosophers do not count him even as a philosopher at all. There are books on philosophy which actually say — I will quote a few words verbatim — that all he gives are childish symbols, childish descriptions. So does a man today speak who imagines himself to be greatly superior to those ancient philosophers. He calls these notions 'childish and ingenious.' Nevertheless, half a millennium before the Christian era a remarkable thinker emerged in Syros. Certainly he describes things differently from other thinkers, who were later to be called philosophers. For example, Pherecydes says, 'Underlying everything visible in the world is a trinity: Chronos, Zeus and Chthon.*] From Chronos comes the airy, the fiery and the watery element. Ophioneus, a kind of serpent being, comes into conflict with all that stems from these three powers.' Even if we have no clairvoyance but only some imagination it is possible to see in front of us everything that he describes. Chronos is put forward not merely as abstract passing time but as a real being in a perceptible form. It is the same with Zeus, the limitless ether, as a living self-perpetuating being; while Chthon, who draws down to earth what once was heavenly, draws together into the planet earth all that is woven in space, in order to make earthly existence possible. All this happens on earth. Then a kind of serpent being interferes, and introduces, so to speak, a hostile element. If we examine what this remarkable Pherecydes of Syros describes, it can easily be understood without the aid of spiritual research. He is a last straggler endowed with the clairvoyance of earlier times. He sees behind the sense world to the real causes, and these he describes with the aid of his clairvoyance. Naturally this does not at all please those who prefer to juggle concepts. He sees the living weaving of the good gods and how hostile powers interfere in their work; and all this he describes from the viewpoint of a clairvoyant. He sees how the elements are born out of Chronos, out of Time seen as a real being." — Rudolf Steiner, THE GOSPEL OF ST. MARK, lecture 7.
"To His intimate disciples Christ spoke these words: 'Behold the life of the Earth; it is related to the life of the Cosmos. When you look out on the Earth and the surrounding Cosmos, it is the Father whose life permeates this Universe.* The Father-God is the God of Space. But I make known to you that I have come to you from the Sun, from Time — Time that receives man only when he dies. I have brought you myself from out of Time.** If you receive me, you receive Time, and you will not be held spell-bound in Space. But you find the transition from the one trinity — Physical, Etheric and Astral — to the other trinity, which leads from the Etheric and Astral to Spirit-Selfhood. Spirit-Selfhood is not to be found in the earthly world, just as the Earthly-Physical is not to be found in the Cosmos. But I bring you the message of it, for I am from the Sun.'
"* Cp. Paul: 'God that made the world and all things therein, being Lord of heaven and earth, giveth to all life and breath and all things, and is not far from each one of us, for in him we live and move and have our being.' Acts XVII, 24 — 28.
"** 'Time,' as here used, is what we usually designate as 'Eternity', i.e. a continuous, unbroken time-experience. What we usually call 'Time' is our spatialised concept of real Time, separate successional events, measured by spatial changes [sic: notes included in the text]." — Rudolf Steiner, THE FESTIVALS AND THEIR MEANING, Vol. 3 (Anthroposophical Publishing Co., 1958), lecture 6, GA 236.
"Formerly, man had the consciousness, 'I have a dark form, but I am connected with the eternal being.' Who was it that destroyed this consciousness? It was the air-breath that entered into man — Typhon [in Greek mythology, the son of Gaea and Tartarus]. Typhon is the name of the air-breath. When the Egyptian soul experienced within itself how the formerly united stream divided itself into light and air, the cosmic event became a symbolic picture for this soul — the murder of Osiris [Egyptian god of the afterlife] by Typhon, or Set, the air-breath. [Seth is the Egyptian god of violence and discord.]
"A mighty cosmic event is hidden in the Egyptian myth that allows Osiris to be killed by Typhon. The Egyptian experienced the god who came from the sun and was still in harmony with his brother, as Osiris. Typhon was the air-breath that had brought mortality to man. Here we see one of the most pregnant examples of how the facts of cosmic evolution repeat themselves in man's inner knowledge.
"In this way the trinity of sun, moon, and earth came into being. All of this was communicated to the Egyptian pupil in deep and consciously formed pictures." — Rudolf Steiner, EGYPTIAN MYTHS AND MYSTERIES (Anthroposophic Press, 1971), lecture 5, GA 106.
"[W]hen we go to sleep at night, setting forth with our Ego and astral body, leaving behind the body of our waking life, Angels, Archangels and higher spiritual Beings enter into us and animate our organs while we are outside — until we re-awaken. And what is more, as to our ether-body, even in our day-waking life we are not able to fulfill what is needed there. The Beings of the highest Hierarchy — Seraphim, Cherubim and Thrones — have to indwell this ether-body even while we are awake; they remain there always ... [I]f we ourselves had to achieve all the great and wonderful processes taking place [in the physical body], we should not merely do it very badly; we could not set about it at all. Here we are utterly helpless. What outer anatomy ascribes to the physical body could not even move a single atom of it. Powers of quite another order are required here, namely none other than those that have been known since primeval times as the supreme Trinity — the Powers of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. They — the essential Trinity — indwell the physical body of man." — Rudolf Steiner, "Man as a Picture of the Living Spirit" (Rudolf Steiner Press, 1972), a lecture, GA 228.
"[W]e should be able to feel, when we are speaking about rheumatism, gout, constipation, diabetes, migraine, about all conditions that are somehow connected with deposits which express the inherent weight of the substances, we should feel that something is entering into our experience that can be expressed in the words: Earthly gravity has laid hold of the human being. Much is contained in such words. You should permeate your investigations with such feelings.
"Just think how abstractly, how brutally, how heedlessly investigations are made into these things today and you will realize what is really lacking and has been killed, in spite of the fact that Arabism did conserve much of the wisdom, conscientiousness and skill of ancient times. It has been killed because Moon, Sun and Saturn — this Trinity which was then disguised as Father, Son and Spirit — disappeared and was repudiated by Arabian thought in Mohammedanism with the words: 'Away with this Trinity. Mohammed proclaims only one God!' (Mohammed himself did not say this, but the Angel who inspired him, did. He was not one of the best Angels although he was a very wise one.) And so we see that all differentiations in the world are allowed to disappear; things which ought to be known are darkened and our medicine has become an Arabian-Mohammedan medicine. European humanity was incapable of discovering the truth. Today these things must be known or mankind will go to pieces." — Rudolf Steiner, COURSE FOR YOUNG DOCTORS (Mercury Press, 1994), lecture 4, GA 316.
"So that we may know where we are, we must be able to give them their proper place in the order of the hierarchies. You will no doubt remember, from the various lectures I have given in the course of years, or from what you have read in my OCCULT SCIENCE , that in the hierarchical order going from above downward, we distinguish, first, a trinity which we call the Seraphim, Cherubim and Thrones. You know that then we come to a second hierarchy which we call the Kyriotetes or Dominions, the Dynameis or Mights, and the Exusiai or Powers, or Revelations; when we come to the lowest trinity, we usually make use of Christian designations, and speak of Archai, or Principalities, or Spirits of Personality; of Archangeloi or Archangels; of Angeloi or Angels. Those in this lowest group are the spiritual Beings who stand nearest to man. Only then do we come to man himself, as the tenth member within the hierarchical order. Now the question is, where within this order do the Elohim belong?
"We find them in the second of these trinities, and identify them with those Beings whom we call Exusiai or Powers, or Spirits of Form. We know from what we have been taught for years that during the Saturn evolution the Archai, the Spirits of Personality, were at the human stage, the stage at which we ourselves now stand. During the Sun evolution the Archangeloi or Archangels had their human stage; and during earth existence it is man who is at this stage. One grade above the Spirits of Personality we have the Spirits of Form, the Exusiai, who are also called Elohim. Thus the Elohim are lofty, sublime spiritual Beings who had advanced beyond the human stage before the time of Saturn, when our planetary existence began. We get an idea of the sublimity of these Beings if we bring home to ourselves that in the order of the hierarchies they stand four stages above the human. The spirituality which was weaving in this realm — which was, so to say, practising cosmic meditation, cosmic musing — and out of this cosmic meditation brought about our earth existence, was four stages above the human stage. Spiritual Beings at this stage can through their meditation work creatively — they are not, as men are, limited to the creation of thought forms. Because the meditative activity of the Elohim is four stages higher than human thinking, it is not merely an organising, a creative activity within the sphere of thought, but it forms and creates existence." — Rudolf Steiner, GENESIS (Anthroposophical Publishing Company, 1959), lecture 4, GA 122.
"What matters is this: that we as human beings can so unite ourselves with the cosmic course that we are in a position to follow the living transition from the unity into the trinity, the return from trinity into unity. When, by complementing the Easter thought with the Michael thought in this way we have become able to perceive rightly the primordial trinity in all existence, then we shall take it into our whole attitude of soul. Then we shall be in a position to understand that actually all life depends upon the activity and the interworking of primordial trinities. And when we have the Michael festival inspiring such a view in the same way that the one-sided Easter festival inspired the view now existing, then we shall have an inspiration, a Nature/Spirit impulse, to introduce threefoldness, the impulse of threefoldness into all the observing and forming of life. And it depends finally and only upon the introduction of this impulse, whether the destructive forces in human evolution can be transformed once more into ascending forces.
"...If we want to see the inwardly active principle, if we want to see the formative process, we must see forming and shaping as associated with threefoldness, with trinity.
"Hence, the ancient Indian view was of a year divided into a hot season, which would approximate our months of April, May, June, July; a wet season, comprising approximately our months, August, September, October, November; and a cold season, which would include our months, December, January, February, March. The boundaries do not need to be rigidly fixed according to the months but are only approximate; they can be thought of as shifting. But the course of the year was thought of according to the principle of the "three."
"And thus man's whole state of soul would be imbued with the predisposition to observe this primal trinity in all weaving and working, and hence to interweave it also into all human creating and shaping. We can even say that it is only possible to have true ideas of the free spiritual life, the life of rights, the social-economic life, when we perceive in the depths this triple pulse of cosmic activity, which must also permeate human activity." — Rudolf Steiner, THE CYCLE OF THE YEAR AS BREATHING PROCESS OF THE EARTH (Anthroposophic Press, 1984), lecture 3, GA 223.
Perhaps we should conclude by returning to Steiner's followers.
We quoted Roy Wilkinson, above. Here is a comment "Zenon" posted
at the Rudolf Steiner Archive Open Forum.
This is a fairly representative piece of Anthroposophical prose,
meditating upon wisdom received from the father of Anthroposophy.
"'The Christ' is the Cosmic Being that mediates and reconciles vast energies of both a positive and negative nature, whose sources are no less then [sic] God the Father and God the Holy Spirit, respectively.
"All three Cosmic Beings comprise the Holy Trinity and this is law conformable [sic]. There are trinities at all levels of Being. Recall that in his Hierarchies Lectures Steiner cites that the great spirits work in groups of threes — receiving their commands from the Creator.
"We microcosmic beings are in a definite way a very tiny replica of the action of that law when we examine our own bodies at work. The brain-nervous system acts 'downward' from above, as it were, and the metabolic-limb system acts 'upward' from below, while the heart-rhythmic system mediates (reconciles, balances) the two opposing energies. Without this threefold action our organism would fail, and indeed many human illnesses are in large measure due to an imbalance in the action of these three forces." — "Zenon," http://www.rsarchive.org/Forums/view.php?bn=eliboard&key=1157044144&first=&last=&here=.
* "Chronos is not time as we think of it today. Chronos is a being that in contemporary language can be called 'spiritual' if one keeps in mind that one does not thereby exhaust its meaning. Chronos is alive and its activity is the devouring, the consumption of the life of another being, Chthon. Chronos rules in nature; Chronos rules in man; in nature and man Chronos consumes Chthon. It is of no importance whether one considers the consumption of Chthon through Chronos as inwardly experienced or as external events, for in both realms the same process goes on. Zeus is connected with these two beings. In the meaning of Pherekydes one must no more think of Zeus as a deity in the sense of our present day conception of mythology, than as of mere "space" in its present sense, although he is the being through whom the events that go on between Chronos and Chthon are transformed into spatial, extended form.
"The cooperation of Chronos, Chthon and Zeus is felt directly as a picture content in the sense of Pherekydes, just as much as one is aware of the idea that one is eating, but it is also experienced as something in the external world, like the conception of the colors blue or red. This experience can be imagined in the following way. We turn our attention to fire as it consumes its fuel. Chronos lives in the activity of fire, of warmth. Whoever regards fire in its activity and keeps himself under the effect, not of independent thought but of image content, looks at Chronos. In the activity of fire, not in the sensually perceived fire, he experiences time simultaneously. Another conception of time does not exist before the birth of thought. What is called 'time' in our present age is an idea that has been developed only in the age of intellectual world conception." — Rudolf Steiner, THE RIDDLES OF PHILOSOPHY (Anthroposophic Press, 1973), part 1, chapter 2, GA 18.

Our Travel Directors know their homelands like the back of their hands. But they've dug even deeper to unearth the hidden gems of their countries for 2014.
We've cherry-picked some of our top insider moments to give you a taster of how you can discover the real Europe with Trafalgar.
Be My Guest – Best of Italy
Sail by private boat towards Isola Madre, a secluded island on Lake Maggiore where young princes used to play. Sip a glass of chilled Gavi wine and sample traditional Italian cuisine at Signor Telli's lakeside restaurant, as he shares tales of his family and brings the history of the island to life.
Local Specialty – European Highlights
Take in the scent of sawdust as German horologists (watch- or clock-makers) craft cuckoo clocks in front of you. With the Black Forest as a backdrop, the journey feels like it's straight from the pages of a Hansel and Gretel pop-up book. And Bavarian stories are played out in the carvings of the clocks made right in front of you, with their moving parts and musical cuckoo bellows.
Authentic Accommodation – European Whirl
Stay at the historic Grand Hotel Europe in the exclusive Swiss lakeside town of Lucerne. This 140-year-old hotel was built to cash in on the arrival of the Gotthard railway station, which never arrived. As you step inside, you get an authentic taste of life in 19th-century Lucerne.
Unique Insight – Spanish Wonder
Meander along the maze-like passages of La Boqueria market in Barcelona, its halls echoing with the booming and gossiping voices of its community of stallholders. Picking at samples of regional Manchego cheese, Jamón Serrano and fat olives, this insight into the shopping style of the Spanish has the potential to leave your stomach full and your wallet empty.
Local Expert – Prague, Vienna and Budapest
Our local friends weave their personal stories and favourite sights into the famous icons you see, like Prague Castle, Budapest's Fisherman's Bastion, and Vienna's Hofburg Palace. There are quirky stories to enjoy while admiring the old masters – before the general public's allowed in – at Vienna's Museum of Fine Arts.

Additional UMOS V-H Series Power MOSFETs Feature Higher Drain Current and Lower On-State Resistance to Improve Power Efficiency in Synchronous DC-DC Converters
IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 15, 2007 – Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. (TAEC)* has added two new devices to its UMOS V-H Series high-speed switching MOSFETs to provide higher drain current (ID), and lower on-state resistance (RDSON), combined with the power efficiency advantages of the other members of the product family. Developed by Toshiba Corp. (Toshiba), the TPCA8012-H and TPCA8019-H n-channel MOSFETs extend the UMOS V-H Series with higher drain current of 40 Amps (A) and 45A (max.) and lower RDSONof 4.9 milliohms and 3.1milliohms, respectively (max. value at VGS = 10V). The UMOS V-H Series MOSFETs are targeted for use in synchronous DC-DC converters in power supplies for servers, desktop and mobile computers, and portable electronics devices.
"Our UMOS V-H Series MOSFETs are designed to reduce the size and improve the power efficiency of synchronous rectification DC-DC converters for notebook PCs, servers and on-board power supplies. The first members of the series have been well received, and these new devices provide higher performance options for power supply designers," said Jeff Lo, business development manager, Discrete Power Products, for TAEC.
The TPCA8012-H and TPCA8019-H are offered in SOP Advance packages with a footprint of 5.0mm x 6.0mm to help minimize board area and device temperature. The TPCA8012-H features maximum drain current of 40A, a drain-source voltage maximum rating of 30V and a RDSON of 4.9milliohms (max. value at VGS = 10V). TPCA8019-H is also designed to operate with a 30V drain-source voltage maximum rating, with a maximum drain current of 45A and an RDSON of 3.1milliohms (max. value at VGS = 10V). The SOP Advance package from Toshiba features a 41 percent lower profile than a standard SOP-8 package, and enables approximately 47 percent higher power dissipation.
UMOS V Overview
UMOS V is a fifth generation process technology in the Toshiba fast switching series. It utilizes a trench gate structure that combines low RDSON with fast switching. Low gate resistance, a lower gate-to-drain capacitance (Cgd), and lower Cgd/Cgsratio also help reduce the amount of self-turn on loss.
Samples of the TPCA8012-H and TPCA8019-H are available now, priced at $0.45 and $0.60, respectively. Production quantities are available now.

A 52-year-old female presented with idiopathic stocking-glove neuropathy. She underwent a series of right and left stellate ganglion blocks with ropivacaine and clonidine, followed by lumbar sympathetic blocks. This resulted in complete symptom relief for two weeks. These procedures were repeated after a two-month interval; at that time she was still experiencing partial relief from the first series. She again remained completely pain free for several weeks following the injections. As the pain partially returned, daily oral clonidine was initiated and resulted in almost complete cessation of her symptoms, which persisted at a three-month follow-up examination.

CLM Workforce Budget Cuts
The CLM workforce got word that their agency would lose funding next year...by as much as 22 million dollars.
If that happens they'll have to cut back... in areas that may turn their staff... into clients themselves.
"We had 12 offices... we're now down to 3."
Budget cuts. They've slowly been eating away at the services currently provided at CLM Workforce in Marion County. Before it's all over they'll just be known as "M" Workforce... executive vice president Sharon Roberts says... they'll be forced to close their offices in Citrus and Levy counties.
"If this cut comes through we're going to have to close our offices in Citrus and Levy counties which means those customers will have no place to go and get workforce services."
She says the place they intend on funneling the money to... is completely backwards.
"They're moving money from workforce into the welfare system. which means ultimately that we can't work with the welfare customers...in putting them back to work and putting them back to meaningful employment."
Welfare transient client Tysharra Jones, has been unable to find a job or get employment assistance through CLM. She says the money can now actually go to help those who need it the most.
"Everybody need a little help...and i'm not getting it from here."
According to Roberts...a client first needs to be motivated...in wanting to better their lives.
"Customers come in and there's a lot of things going on in their life...we try to work with them on their issues and some just resist."
Resistance or not they're looking to have the welfare to work program cut in July.
Shani Muhammad... WCJB-TV 20 News.

Tommy Chong - of "Cheech & Chong" fame - says Whitney Houston would still be alive today if she had used natural substances.
"Had she just stuck to pot, she'd be alive today," the actor-comedian told Access Hollywood on Tuesday night at "The Simpsons" 500th episode celebration.
PLAY IT NOW: Tommy Chong: Whitney Houston Would Still Be Alive If She 'Stuck To Pot'
"It's when you get into that other stuff... The trouble with that other stuff is that you forget you're high. You think you're taking a bath and you're not. You're under the water. It's a sad, sad thing," he continued.
Houston's cause of death is still unknown, but authorities confirmed on Monday that the late singer was submerged in a bathtub when she was first discovered on Saturday afternoon at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: A Look Back: Whitney Houston — Her Life In Pictures
L.A. County Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter told reporters that the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office was doing routine toxicology tests, the results of which will influence the determination of Houston's exact cause of death.
In September 2009, Houston spoke out about her past drug use in an interview with Oprah Winfrey.
"We were lacing our marijuana with base... you put in your marijuana, you lace it, your roll it up and you smoke it," she said at the time.

"Your drug of choice was weed combined with cocaine?" Oprah asked.
"Cocaine, rock cocaine. Yes," the singer said, nodding her head.

According to Chong, Houston's death was a farewell.
"It's a sad, sad thing. In a way, though, it was like she was saying goodbye," he told Access. "Like she was passing the torch onto Adele. It was a tough one to let go. It was like she came by and said, 'OK, I'm out of here.' It's a sad, sad thing."
