OEM fog light lens glass or plastic?
I'm trying to buy replacement fog lights for my escalade and were wondering if the oem fog light lenses are glass or plastic? found a good deal on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/330786672347...84.m1423.l2649 and wanted to make sure they will look and function as much as the OEM as possible.

Also the lens on both the headlights and fog lights are plastic(even the taillights have plastic lens) there hasn't been a glass headlight since the 70's not sure on the fog lights as far as oem goes but I'd say its the same except aftermarket fog lights)
Re: OEM fog light lens glass or plastic?
what happend to your originals? Reason i ask is because when I bought my Escalade the lights were there but the lens were straight up missing! I ended up getting a set of "capa certified" ones on Rockauto.com for $50 a peice, and they work great other than the fact one of them had traces of water inside it after a car wash. just a quick bead of clear silicone fixed it. I think originals from Cadillac are somewhere in the range of $70..
Re: OEM fog light lens glass or plastic?
I still have the housings on the truck. The lenses have been missing for some time and everything inside the housing is black from dirt and exposure, so I think it would be easiest to get whole new housings and replace altogether.

both lens were m.i. a. on my 03 when I got it I tried aftermarket housings (worst mistake ever) they sucked so I looked online and found my set at amazon and I will do the same for my moms 02(I wish gm had the hid low beams on the 02 but that can be a project of mine sometime after I do the air box improvement for the air shock compressor)

Re: OEM fog light lens glass or plastic?
Got mine from eBay, they are plastic, cost me 27 bucks free shipping with the braket. I did remove the plastic retainers and put in a screw with a bolt, nice and tight, next are the H.I.D.s. Seller: carpartswholesale, easy and fast as heck.

does 4300k best match the original HID low beams?
Cadillac Man is correct 4300K is the brightest temperature of LED's. I have 6000K LED's in mine and they match the factory HID's almost perfect. If you do a lot of driving on dark roads and such get the 4300K LED's but if you want it to match and are just looking for that, go with the 6000K. I turn mine on at night to match my HID's just for looks. I have never been brighted by other drivers or pulled over for having them on. For me it is just esthetics.
- 02-10-13 09:50 PM #10Originally Posted by Tx_Lee
Tx_Lee, google HID colors and 4300K, and you will see it does NOT match the factory HID's what so ever in my opinion. If you need it for lighting like Cadillac Man says by All means get the 4300K! If you want it to match and don't drive on super dark roads etc go with 6000K. I have 6000k fog LED's and will send you a picture to show you they match... 4300K looks like a halogen bulb in my opinion, they are brighter but like I said I matched mine for looks not for brightness. PM me and I will gladly send you a pic of mine on with my low beam HID's and you be the judge.....

I know as I bought two hid kits with 6000k bulbs where the seller said they was white(they aren't)
The only seller I get my bulbs and hid kits from is here www.kensun.com buy a set of 4300k bulbs from here and you will get true 4300k bulbs same with 6000k bulbs
I also know that factory hids are legal with 4300k bulbs any other is considered illegal by federal law
Also mark take a close look at the lumens ratings of both 4300k and 6000k bulbs and you will see that the 4300k bulbs have more lumens=better lighting(FYI 4300k bulbs color shift up to closer to 5000k as they age)
There is a forum that has a guide to hid bulbs and the colors along with the lumens ratings are listed
6000k has 1300 lumens 4300k has 3200 lumens

Re: OEM fog light lens glass or plastic?
I bought a set of fog lights from grill4you about two weeks ago. They were not the right fit. The mount is different and the struts going from the mount to the light is about half an inch too long. All in all the light will mount about an inch lower than the original. I will try to attach a picture for illustration, but this is my first post and it may come out as intended.
The customer service guy at grill4you, Justin, was very apologetic and helpful in the resolution of this issue, but in the end I had to go to another vendor for replacements. They are very easy to take out (3 screws). When I get some more time, I will put together a "how to" post as it seems to be a common problem.

Here is the link
These are a great replacement set and include bulbs but I suggest getting a hid kit from here
www.kensun.com the socket size is 880 the color that gives the most light is 4300k

Loic Remy is off the table after failing his medical with Liverpool, meaning the club will have to look to other means to strengthen their attack for the coming season.
Remy was seen to be the perfect signing for the club: cheap, experienced and versatile. But complications with his medical persuaded the club to pull the plug on the deal.
Liverpool are evidently in need of another forward, so they'll certainly be in the market for alternatives to the French international.
With plenty of time left in the transfer window, here are six striker options Liverpool could look to.
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar has shown just how effective he can be, now only for the Netherlands but also his club side Schalke.
The Dutch international missed most of the first half of last season but returned after the winter break to maintain his excellent form in front of goal. Thinking of the many chances Liverpool can create next season, a poacher like Huntelaar is just what they need.
He may not fit in with the club's apparent policy of buying young, currently being 30. But there are few strikers in Europe better than Huntelaar in front of goal.
Now is the right time to prise Ezequiel Lavezzi from PSG. The French champions are desperate to sell in order to raise funds for other targets, and the Argentine international has just come off an impressive World Cup.
Lavezzi is known as a wide forward and may impede the development of other younger players at Liverpool, but he is also capable of playing through the middle. Moreover, Liverpool will need depth for what is to be a far more taxing season than what they've just had.
If the funds are there, the club should at the very least be making enquiries for the Argentine forward.
Following a steady climb up the Premier League table, Romelu Lukaku is now ready for a club competing in the Champions League, and with 15 goals for Everton last season, he would be a very good partner or alternative to Daniel Sturridge at Liverpool.
The question is whether Chelsea will sell to a club they'd deem a title rival. Jose Mourinho has given little indication that he intends to keep the Belgian, but the club may prefer a sale abroad.
If they can convince Chelsea to sell, Liverpool would land another exciting signing with a view to the future.
If the price is right, Liverpool would be wise to look to Wilfried Bony this summer, who proved last season he can be effective in the Premier League.
Bony would offer qualities that aren't present in Daniel Sturridge's game, while also able to offer something much more long term than Rickie Lambert. Bony is a powerful, quick forward who can give Liverpool another option in attack.
He'd be a good striker to help the club through the added pressure of European football, having competed in the Europa League last season with Swansea.
What better alternative to Loic Remy than Alexandre Lacazette, who shares many of the same qualities with his compatriot.
Lacazette has come off a fine season with Lyon and was very much expected to move on. But interested has quietened in recent weeks, though that could prove to be a positive for Liverpool.
Lacazette is young and has a bright future ahead of him. Being versatile and able to find the net with ease, he'd be a very good addition to Brendan Rodgers' squad this summer.
If Milan are as desperate to sell Mario Balotelli as they appear to be, it wouldn't be a surprise if Liverpool moved in and negotiated a knockdown fee for the Italian international.
It would of course be a gamble, with Balotelli being an extremely erratic character, both on and off the pitch. But on form, this is a striker who can change games in the way Luis Suarez used to do during his days at Anfield.
Balotelli would very much fall in line with the club's youthful approach to the market and could help take Liverpool to the next level. There's no doubt he'd be an asset for the upcoming Champions League campaign.

Pet Shop Boys
Tower of London
Four songs in, and the Pet Shop Boys' old hit 'Suburbia' prompts a mass civic migration at this genteel open-air gig in the Tower's grounds. Just as the forces of history and class mobility once swept people from country to town to suburbs, the distinctive strains of Chris Lowe's keyboard tones solicit a great rush forward tonight, carrying a little democracy in its wake. The seated folk in the posh pews are soon overrun by excitable Pet Shop Boys fans from the cheap seats, dancing in the aisles.
The nice seats, by the way, are beige canvas director's chairs with reclining backs. They are arranged under an awning in case of rain, and are occupied in significant part by corporate clients, here as part of a package (Diamond, Ruby or Pearl) offering varying degrees of cocktails, dinner and show. The cheaper seats are foldy-uppy blue plastic chairs under the sky. Users are invited to picnic on the banks of the moat. As open-air gatherings go, this is more Glyndebourne than Glastonbury. Great catering: shame about the class system.
Not that this Pet Shop Boys soiree, the first of two consecutive nights, should be anything like Glastonbury, of course. Our hosts are Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe, a refined, effete, high-art-nobbing disco duo who have long curled their collective lip at the graceless knuckle-draggings of rock. They are currently enjoying an artistic renaissance with their latest album, Fundamental, which emphatically restates their commitment to sleek dance pop.
You can't help but cheer inwardly, however, as the iffy sound and flat atmosphere that greeted the Boys' first three songs are swept away by happy clots of bobbing bodies, soaking up the bass and bawling along. Even more democratic is this little secret: you can see any of this series of 10 Tower of London festival shows for absolutely nothing if you bag some bum-space on the perimeter wall.
The Pet Shop Boys shake no stuff, of course. Early on in their career, they were derided as studiedly bored performers, Lowe impassive behind his keyboard, Tennant poker-faced.
They still keep to this expressive asceticism, but their live shows have long since become extravaganzas of design and choreography. Tonight's gig, a procession of hits and new album tracks, is no exception. Award-winning theatre designer Es Devlin has given the Boys a white magician's cube that subdivides, rotates and provides a warren of spaces for dancers and singers to move through. Tennant is in a dinner suit and top hat, all in black; dancers and backing singers dressed as his doppelgangers. Lowe is in a reflective windcheater and baseball cap with doppelgangers of his own. The white cube spreads out into screens on to which films can be projected: a dancing cowboy, a funeral motorcade. There are giant cut-out Tennant and Lowe heads for 'Always On My Mind', from which dancers pop in and out with questionable literalism.
The white cube is a bit like the Pet Shop Boys' music: pristine, multi-functional, purposefully blank, inviting meanings to be projected upon it. This ambivalence has long been one of their commercial strengths. Their music and lyrics exclude no one, while speaking intimately to an audience who can read the pumping signifiers to 'Go West' or the gaudy 'It's A Sin' in a specific way.
But this cat-and-mouse with meaning has also been one of the Pet Shop Boys's least appealing aspects. Their best songs are specific, not inscrutable; impassioned despite themselves. Their old hit 'Rent' is a high point - a poignant vignette of the exigencies of love. Rent boys may exist in the gay demi-monde, but heterosexuals make physical and emotional compromises for cash, too.
The best of the new songs flaunted tonight - the sumptuous, angry 'Sodom And Gomorrah Show', and to a lesser extent 'Integral' - share this engagement of detail and feeling. By contrast, 'Minimal' - the Kraftwerk-saluting next single - is a vapid ditty, a hymn to aesthetics over content. And whatever possessed Tennant & Lowe to write the singer-songwritery guff that made up their Release album of 2002, and the boring middle bit of tonight's otherwise engaging show? Thankfully, there is substance as well as surface in evidence. The appeal of Fundamental hinges on the fact that Tennant is hot and bothered about things. The climax of 'The Sodom and Gomorrah Show' sees him decked out in outre military regalia, singing about decadence and the folly of war. This is the kind of arty substance-pop that Madonna fluffed with American Life. With an eyebrow slightly raised, the Pet Shop Boys get away with it.

I'm a Stay-At-Home Mom. How do I Respond to People Who Ask Me When I'm Going Back to Work?
Q. I'm a stay-at-home mom with an infant daughter. Lately people have asked me, "Isn't it time to put your child in day care and go back to work?" or "Don't you get bored being home all day?" I find these questions rude. How should I reply?
Laura Kastrup
Vancouver, British Columbia
A. First let me say, what a lovely time for you! I hope you enjoy every minute. I fondly remember when my girls were tiny, and I have to say my only regret is not realizing how fleeting that time would be. Don't waste it worrying about rude questions. It's nobody's business whether you work in the home or out of the home. Furthermore, anyone who passes a negative comment or who appears to be judging you is probably insecure about her own life choices.
The next time someone broaches the topic, face her head-on. Say in a matter-of-fact tone, "I feel fortunate to be able to spend meaningful time with my daughter. I wish every parent could have the same wonderful opportunity."

"I'm worried about stomach issues if I eat before a run. Is it necessary to eat before running? Can you give me advice on what to eat before running?"

When you begin a run, you should feel neither starved nor stuffed. You don't want to eat immediately before running because it could lead to cramping or annoying side stitches. But running on an empty stomach may cause you to run out of energy and leave you feeling fatigued and lethargic during your runs. Your best bet is to eat a snack or light meal about 1 1/2 to 2 hours before you start running.

Your choice of a pre-run meal is important, as eating the wrong foods could send you looking for the closest bathroom during your run or just leave you feeling very uncomfortable. Choose something high in carbohydrates and lower in fat, fiber, and protein. Some examples of good pre-workout fuel include a bagel with peanut butter; turkey and cheese on whole wheat bread; oatmeal with berries; a banana and an energy bar; or a bowl of cold cereal with a cup of milk. Stay away from rich, very fatty, or high-fiber foods, as they may cause  gastrointestinal distress.

If you've had digestive issues and find yourself stopping to use the bathroom frequently during your runs, here are some suggestions for the best pre-run foods and tips on which ones to avoid.

How Long Should I Wait After Eating to Run?

Like many related running-related questions, the answer is, it depends. If you eat a very big meal, you should wait at least two hours before running. This is especially true if you eat foods that take a long time to digest, such as greasy, fatty, or fried foods. (In general, it's best to avoid those kinds of foods before running.)

If you eat something smaller, like a light breakfast or lunch, you should be fine to run about an hour after you eat. But, it also depends on what you're eating. Also, everyone has different digestive systems and what works for someone else may not necessarily work for you.

If you prefer to run in the morning and you don't want to wake up really early to give yourself enough time to eat, try eating a small snack so you're not starting your run with an empty tank. You can have an energy bar, a banana, some toast, or something else that's light and easily digestible. You still should try to finish eating your snack about 30 minutes before you start. Also make sure that you drink some water with it. Most people wake up dehydrated, so morning runners need to re-hydrate before they start their run. If you're running for more than 45 minutes, carry an energy gel or other small snack with you in case you get hungry.

Nothing New on Race Day

If you're training for a big race, it's important that you try out different pre-run foods and practice the timing of it all so you can figure out what works for you. You don't want to have any surprises on race day. The morning of the race, you'll want to eat the same foods with the same timing as you did during your training.

The innovative architect Frank Gehry has turned his propensity for out-of-left-field lines on the new poster for the 54th Grammy awards. The Recording Academy, which produces the awards, said on its website, "The work integrates traditional GRAMMY iconography with Gehry's unique architectural style in a piece that mirrors The Recording Academy's commitment to celebrating excellence and diversity in art and culture year-round."
The artwork will be used as a promotional symbol for the awards, gracing everything from the GRAMMY Awards program book to the telecast tickets and posters. Gehry commented that he was thankful to be given the opportunity, "I have been fortunate to have worked with and become friends with some of the top musicians in classical music," the architect said. "They are my inspiration and my heroes. I am pleased to work with the GRAMMYs to help celebrate all of these talented people."
Gehry's buildings have received 100 national or regional American Institute of Architects awards and in 1998 he was awarded the National Medal of Arts. His most notable buildings include the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in Spain, the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and the Nationale-Nederlanden Building in Prague. You can view the poster here.

Big Sam certainly won't be disappointed with the efforts of summer signing Adrian between the sticks for West Ham this season; the Spaniard has kept five clean sheets in ten Premier League appearances since taking over goalkeeping duties from Jussi Jaaskelainen.
But the Hammers could still do with an upgrade at No.1, and when it comes to potential availability on the transfer market this summer, it's hard to look past Celtic's Fraser Forster.
The Buoys' stars are leaving Celtic Park thick and fast – Gary Hooper, Victor Wanyama, Kelvin Wilson and Joe Ledley have all left the Scottish Champions this season – and with a host of Premier League suitors on the horizon, it's believed the England international could be next.
The 25 year-old has kept a sensational 17 clean sheets in 28 league appearances this season and conceded just 14 times. Last month, Forster set a new Scottish top flight record after breaking Bobby Clarke's previous feat of not conceding in 1,155 minutes of league action.
Measuring in at 6 foot 7, the Celtic No.1 would be a good fit for the Hammers. He's also an incredible shot-stopper, as shown in last season's historic Champions League clash with Barcelona, and is now blooded at international level with the Three Lions.
The tabloids believe he could leave Celtic Park for around £8million in the summer, which is well within West Ham's financial reach.

Pablo Escobar T-shirts a hit in Mexico drug war states
By Lizbeth Diaz
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Nearly two decades after Colombian cocaine kingpin Pablo Escobar died in a hail of bullets, his eldest son is conquering new markets in Mexico - with a fashion line in his father's image.
Sebastian Marroquin's designer T-shirts, plastered with photos of Escobar, are hot sellers in Mexican states that are on the front lines of the country's deadly drug war.
The shirts are emblazoned with images of the Medellin cartel boss, who flooded the world with cocaine before he was shot dead in 1993. Featuring pictures from Escobar's student ID card, driver's license and other images, the shirts cost between $65 and $95 - a small fortune in a country where about half of the population lives in poverty.
"We're not trying to make an apology for drug trafficking, to glamorize it in the way that the media does," insists Marroquin, 39, who was born Juan Pablo Escobar Henao, but changed his name to avoid reprisals after his father's death.
In a bid to head off criticism that the line glorifies drug crime, the shirts carry messages to provoke reflection. One bearing Escobar's student card reads: "What's your future looking like?" while a design emblazoned with his driver's license warns: "Nice pace, but wrong way."
The cotton shirts, which went on sale last year in Mexico, are selling well in stores in Culiacan, the capital of western Sinaloa state, which is home of Mexico's most wanted trafficker, Sinaloa cartel chief Joaquin "Shorty" Guzman.
The clothing is also on sale in Guadalajara in western Jalisco state, long a refuge for drug traffickers, which has been swept up in Mexico's raging drug violence. About 60,000 lives have been lost in the last six years.
Analysts warn that the increasingly popular 'Escobar Henao' clothing line simply reinforces an already widespread fascination with the symbols of cartel culture such as marijuana leaves and AK-47s among youngsters in Mexico. Continued...

HTC Implements Workaround to Apple's Patent for Evo 4G LTE, One X
Jason Mick
May 17, 2012 4:35 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
U.S. Customs has seized HTC's smartphone shipments and have refused to give it a timeline for when its changes will be reviewed.
(Source: Change.org)
Customs ban remains in effect, government hasn't revealed when it will bother to review HTC's changes
Apple, Inc.'s (
U.S. Patent No. 5,946,647
covers data-tapping -- creating actionable links in a text document, and displaying a menu of options, such as to call or save a phone number.
While questions of prior art surround the patent, Apple has thus far been successful in convincing the courts of the patent's validity. However, despite Apple suing all the major Android manufacturers and despite the feature being in all stock Android browsers/messaging apps, it's only been able to use the patent to
pick off the smallest and weakest
of Android "big three" -- Android's HTC Corp. (TPE:2948).
Even as Apple's decision to "beat up on the little guy" has drawn ire, HTC has moved to try its best to restore its products.
The Verge
that its testing of the Evo 4G LTE -- a new handset on preorder at Sprint Nextel Corp. (
) -- and
the One X
-- a handset coming to AT&T, Inc. (
) -- reveals that both devices no longer carry the infringing browser and messaging app bulids.
HTC has developed modified versions of these apps. It cleverly creates a settings menu that allows users to directly associate a data type with a specific app. This allows documents to be marked up in such a way that it skirts Apple's patent description, given that rather than a menu coming up, a click directly launches the app.
The workaround is dubbed "App Associations".

The big question is whether HTC's hard work will do any good. After all, even before
The Verge
's verification, HTC insisted that all of the handsets that had been held up at Customs featured the modification.
According to HTC, U.S. Customs officials have
refused to inspect its product
or consider lifting the ban after a month of inaction. With the AT&T and Sprint left in a quandary about how to fulfill preorders, HTC is desperate to get the ban lifted.
But the
U.S. International Trade Commission
and Customs have offered no clue that Customs officials might be ready to review HTC's seized shipments. Thus HTC finds itself in the position of a prisoner left forgotten in a holding cell.
Customs does not have clear-cut publicly available rules regarding how and when it bans products, so HTC is at the mercy of these bureaucrats. And right now they seem perfectly content to enforce a ban that benefits Apple, despite compelling and clear-cut evidence that HTC no longer is offering the contended feature.
That questionable policy is certainly not sitting well with Android fans and customers who preordered. But it's a pleasing development to Apple's well-heeled, polished legion of lawyers and the company's most zealous fans.

More than 400,000 Californians have been enrolled in county health programs since 2010. Farrah McDaid-Ting is from the California State Association of Counties.
McDaid-Ting: "We're really testing out what the ACA is designed to do, which is get care, primary care to these childless adults."
California is one of a handful of states using federal funds for the early expansion of Medicaid.
McDaid-Ting says the Low-Income Health Programs seek to bring down costs by giving uninsured adults primary care.
McDaid-Ting: "It costs a lot of money to treat someone who has a chronic condition who shows up in the ER. If we can treat that person and get that person under control with primary care, I think it will in the long run save taxpayers money."
The federal government will give almost three billion dollars to this phase of California's low-income health program.

The Philippines began clearing roads blocked by debris today as rescue teams searched for survivors of this week's powerful earthquake, with the death toll rising to at least 158.
Tens of thousands of residents of Bohol island, which felt the full force of Tuesday's 7.2 magnitude quake, continued to live outdoors over fears of more aftershocks, of which authorities have recorded 1,200, including one of magnitude 5.5.
Officials said at least 374 had been injured and 22 were believed to still be missing, with some feared to be trapped under a collapsed public hospital and a church in Loon, a Bohol town.
Nearly 17,000 people have yet to return home in the town of Loboc, where the island's second oldest church, the Church of St Peter, was left in ruins after the quake.
"All of them left their houses because of the strong aftershocks," said Mayor Helen Alaba, who said she had sent out teams of engineers to check if homes were safe.
The national disaster agency said at least 146 of the dead were from Bohol, 630 km (390 miles) south of the capital, Manila. There were 11 deaths on the nearby Cebu islands and another on Siguijor island.
The number of injured reached 374, with at least 22 people missing. The government has declared a state of calamity in Cebu and Bohol, where more than 3.4 million people were affected by the quake. Schools remain closed.
Damage to infrastructure, mostly roads and bridges, was initially estimated at about 179.15 million pesos (£2.6million), a public works official said.
Huge landslides caused by the quakes wrecked more than 130 schools and 2,000 houses, completely destroying some and damaging 34 bridges and nine main roads.
Engineers say at least three bridges in Bohol are structurally unsound and need to be replaced, the public works official said.
"To make these roads passable at the soonest, they will need millions here, to the tune of about 700 million pesos," said Bohol governor Edgardo Chatto. "We're not talking of replacements yet."
The transport department estimates restoring Bohol's damaged port of Tagbilaran City would cost about 500 million pesos.
After providing food and shelter to victims, restoration of Bohol's centuries-old churches, usually thronged by tourists, would top the government's agenda, Chatto said.
Loboc, whose residents depend mainly on tourism for their livelihoods, will need several weeks to recover before it can resume such tourist draws as river cruises and sightings of the world's smallest primate, the tarsier, a tourism official said.

Vice President Joe Biden made the rounds on the network morning shows following President Obama's State of the Union address and CBS This Morning did its best to help the vice president protect Obama from criticism. Appearing with co-hosts Charlie Rose and Norah O'Donnell on January 29, Biden was treated to a friendly interview, and the only tough questions he received were that the Obama Administration wasn't being liberal enough in pushing its agenda.
Perhaps the most notable point of the interview was when Rose made the softball pitch that President Obama's acknowledgment of a wounded veteran was "trying to capture the spirit of America and build a kind of identification with this can-do attitude." [See video below. MP3 audio here.]
Rose's only attempt to ask a skeptical question was on Obama's use of executive orders to bypass Congress. Rose noted "so many people believe they have limited abilities and most of the big things have to be through Congress?"
Rose's co-host Norah O'Donnell turned her attention to immigration reform and hit Vice President Biden from the left for Obama's omission of the term "pathway to citizenship" in his State of the Union speech. O'Donnell lamented that:
Last night the president called for immigration reform again. But I noticed that he left out the phrase "Pathway to citizenship," which is a pretty big omission. He used that specific phrase last year. Does that mean you're willing to cut a deal with Republicans that would just provide legal status to illegal immigrants in this country?
Rose then brought up former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates' new memoir which was highly critical of Biden's foreign policy record. Rose concluded that Gates believed "you were wrong on almost every major decision in the last 40 years." Rather than challenge the vice president on Gates' serious accusations, the CBS host just allowed Biden to refute Gates' book without any pushback.
Instead, the veteran CBS host seemed to accept Biden's personal testimony on foreign policy and refused to confront the vice president for the numerous foreign policy positions that have been wrong over the years including his opposition to the raid on Osama Bin Laden's compound and the military surge in Afghanistan.
The interview ultimately concluded with a grinning O'Donnell pleading for Biden to comment on his future presidential aspirations and asked him if "Your wife, Dr. Biden, I think you might want to run for president?" Rose followed this up by conveniently bringing up Hillary Clinton and asked Biden "Will Hillary Clinton's decision affect your decision?"
Throughout the entire segment, Rose and O'Donnell didn't bother to ask Biden about ObamaCare, Benghazi or the state of the economy. Instead, CBS used the segment as an opportunity for Biden to push Obama's agenda without objection. CBS This Morning's softball interview with Vice President Biden was a stark contrast to its interview with Tea Party Senator Rand Paul later in the broadcast, with the female co-hosts expressing dissatisfaction with Rand Paul's comments on Monica Lewinsky, and Rose interrupting Paul to insist he was wrong about the president's speech.
See relevant transcript below.
CBS This Morning
January 29, 2014
7:12 a.m. Eastern
CHARLIE ROSE: With us now the Vice President of the United States Joe Biden. He joins us from the library at the naval observatory in Washington. Mr. Vice President good morning.
JOE BIDEN: Hey Charlie how are you doing?
ROSE: Good. Let me begin with the State of the Union and what the president said. Why so much emphasis on executive orders when so many people believe they have limited abilities and most of the big things have to be through Congress?
BIDEN: Most of the big things do have to go through Congress and the president said I want Congress to do that. As a matter of fact, as I sat there with John Boehner, he and I were talking about the prospects before the president spoke about the prospects of the House moving on immigration. Last year the president asked for a move on immigration and as everybody said no it's dead on arrival. This year it looks like we may get something done. In the meantime, the president eased up some of the deportation that was under way. So the president will take action where, in fact, he thinks it will spur action in the states and federally and with the Congress or where we have to -- where we can make some progress. We're just not going to sit around and wait for the Congress if they choose not to act.
ROSE: But it seemed to me last night the president including the remarkable portrait of Sergeant Remsburg is somehow trying to capture the spirit of America and build a kind of identification with this can-do attitude.
BIDEN: Well, he is. Look. The president and I remain incredibly optimistic. Relative to the rest of the world, Charlie, and you know international relations. You travel the world. We are better positioned than any nation in the world to lead the economy in the 21st century. China, Europe. No matter where you go. America is the engine. We'll be the epicenter of energy in the 21st century in North America. We have the greatest work force in the world. And so this is about taking advantage of the assets that we have and let's move. That's why the president put me in charge of this new task force that's going to gather all these forces including companies and universities and community colleges to do the things that the American people say, look, every initiative the president put forward, the polling data you have done and everyone else have done show the American people agree with us on it. So part of this is making the case repeatedly to the American people who in turn make the case to the Congress. So this is like we did before Charlie on energy. We said all of the above. We went out and we did renewables, we went out and we did oil. We went out and we did gas, we went out and at the same time -- it's the same thing, all of the above man. We've got to move. The middle class needs access.
NORAH O'DONNELL: Mr. Vice president, I know last night the president called for immigration reform again. But I noticed that he left out the phrase "Pathway to citizenship," which is a pretty big omission. He used that specific phrase last year. Does that mean you're willing to cut a deal with Republicans that would just provide legal status to illegal immigrants in this country?
BIDEN: No, it doesn't mean that. We still think by far and away the preferable route to go is citizenship. We don't want two-tier people in America, those who are legal but not citizens and citizens. And so what we are saying is -- and I've said to John last night -- pass something. If that's what you're going to pass, pass it. And to use the wonkish term, let the Congress get to conference and let the conference battle it out and decide what the route is. And then we'll decide whether we think its good enough. Citizenship is the pathway.
ROSE: Mr. Vice President, you've had a long career in the Congress and was Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and now you have former Secretary of Defense Bob Gates writing a book in which he said you were wrong on almost every major decision in the last 40 years.
BIDEN: Well, you know, Bob and I like each other. We both acknowledge each other, possess integrity as he said in his book. But we have disagreed for forty years. I thought we should end the war in Vietnam, that's why I ran. He didn't think that. I thought Iran-Contra was a disaster. He thought it was a good idea. I thought Gorbachev was an agent of change. Remember he encouraged Reagan not to view him as an agent of change. I thought we should have war crime tribunals in Bosnia. He thought we shouldn't. I thought we should end this war in Afghanistan after taking care of al-Qaeda which we're about to finish doing. He didn't. The president said last night it's time to end the war in Afghanistan. That's not Bob's position.
O'DONNELL: Mr. Vice President can I ask you then on Afghanistan because as we draw down our forces in Afghanistan, military leaders have said that they would like a force of between 9,000 and 12,000 at the end of this year. You're calling for a much smaller force. Why?
BIDEN: That is not true, by the way. I read these reports about what I call for.
O'DONNELL: How many troops should be there then?
BIDEN: My counsel is to the president privately. That's why I think that bothered Bob a lot that the president listens to me a lot. And so I have taken no public position on that. So that's not true, number one. Number two, there is a division within even the military as to how many troops should be left behind, but the military's united on one thing, except I'm not sure Bob is. And that is, if in fact, there is no security agreement where our troops are guaranteed certain rights if they stay, the military says we shouldn't stay. So Karzai has to sign the so-called BSA, this basing agreement, in order for anything to happen. The president's in the process of making that decision now. I keep my council to him and keep it private. And he will make a decision shortly. But here's the deal. We went there for an explicit purpose, to defeat and dismantle al-Qaeda and prevent them from returning. We did not go there to nation build. We did not go there to occupy. And the president said this war is coming to an end. We'll prepare to continue to train forces in Afghanistan of the Afghan military and have a small C.T. operation there. That is a decision to be made by the president after a consultation with the military. I don't know who's putting these numbers out but ask anyone. No one has heard me say in the Situation Room offer any specific number. I do that privately with the president.
ROSE: But you're saying the president was listening to you and not to his Secretary of Defense.
BIDEN: No, I didn't say that. I said that Bob Gates in his book laments the president listened to me.
O'DONNELL: And then finally let me ask about your own future. Does your wife, Dr. Biden, I think you might want to run for president?
BIEDN: Does my wife want me to run for president? Is that what you said, I'm sorry?
O'DONNELL: Yeah. Does Jill want you to run for president?
BIDEN: Well, Jill and I will make that decision later down the road. It's too early to do that right now. I've got a job to do in the meantime. If I do the job well and decide to run for president will help. If I don't do the job well and decide to run for president won't help and if I don't run for president it will all be okay.
ROSE: Will Hillary Clinton's decision affect your decision?
BIDEN: No, not directly. The only reason a man or woman should run for president -- I'm sure Hillary views it the exact same way -- is if they think they're better positioned to be able to do what the nation needs at the moment and what is the plan you have for the country and that's the only thing to generate whether you run.
ROSE: Mr. Vice President thank you so much I didn't mean to cut you off. But thank you so much.
BIDEN: No that's okay. I'm glad to stop talking about it.
O'DONNELL: Good to see you.
ROSE: You can come back tomorrow.

Unformatted text preview: 130 C H A P T E R 4 INCOME STATEMENT AND RELATED INFORMATION LEARNING OBJECTIVES After studying this chapter, you should be able to: Understand the uses and limitations of an income statement. Prepare a single-step income statement. Prepare a multiple-step income statement. Explain how to report irregular items. Explain intraperiod tax allocation. Identify where to report earnings per share information. Prepare a retained earnings statement. Explain how to report other comprehensive income. 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Pro forma reporting, in which companies provide investors a choice in reported income numbers, has been very popular among com- panies in the S&P 500. For example, in 2001, in addition to income measured according to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), 77 percent of S&P 500 companies also reported an income measure that they adjusted for certain items. Com- panies make these adjustments because they believe the items are not representative of operating results. Characteristic of pro forma reporting practices is Amazon.com . It has adjusted for items such as stock-based compensation, amortization of goodwill and intangibles, impairment charges, and equity in losses of investees. All of these adjustments make pro forma earn- ings higher than GAAP income. In its earnings announcement, Amazon defended its pro forma reporting, saying that it gives better insight into the fundamental operations of the business. An update to this earlier report on non-GAAP reporting indicates a decline in pro forma income reporting. In 2003, the percentage of companies practicing pro forma reporting dropped to 54 percent, and the flavor of pro forma reporting also changed between these two periods. For example, in 2003, there were fewer income-increasing pro forma reports, and there was a narrowing in the magnitude of the gap between the pro forma and GAAP earnings (Entwistle et al., 2006). Which Income Number? PDF Watermark Remover DEMO : Purchase from www.PDFWatermarkRemover.com to remove the watermark 131 What happened? Several commentators point to a couple of factors. First, Sarbanes-Oxley was passed in 2002, and it put a new focus on more transparent reporting. Second, the SEC issued Regulation G, which requires compa- nies to reconcile non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP. This regulation provides investors with a roadmap to analyze adjustments companies make to their GAAP numbers to arrive at pro forma results. Regulation G addresses the concern that investors have a hard time comparing one companys pro forma measures with results reported by another com- pany that has a different idea of what is fundamental to its business. Also, there is concern that companies may use pro forma reporting to deflect investor attention from bad news....

Heat pump blowing both hot and cold air in cool mode
The way to check is with a volt meter. Is there 24V between W and C with a call for cool?...yes= thermostat or thermostat wire problems
If no then we get in the touchy area where you get to stick hands in live 240V which is fused many times higher than it takes to kill you. For that reason I do not suggest DIY checking it. Sequencers are cheap ,match the H and C numbers on the old sequencer. Eliminate the thermostat and wires as a possible cause first though.
Did you replace the thermostat and were the terminals on the new thermostat identical to the old one? (Not that it makes much difference - pros can wire them incorrectly too!)
if the thermostat was replaced in the winter. its possible its wired wrong, and you never took notice.
With regard to the thermostat... I should have mentioned that we turned the AC on a few weeks ago and it had been working a.ok.
We came home from vacation and that is when we discovered the problem.
The thermostat was set at 74 today and that is where the temp was when I checked it this evening.
So...it seems to be working ok with the heating elements disconnected.
one more question... how can I tell the type of sequencer if it is not marked on the outside of the component ? would this be somewhere in the schematic?
Thanks again for the help !

It's a baby-boomer politician's worst nightmare: The New York Times gets holds of personal letters you wrote to a close friend back when you were a self-absorbed college student trying on different personas and personalities.
It happened to Hillary Clinton Sunday.
This came right after the national media dissected the political and fashion significance of her displaying an apparently modest amount of cleavage in a speech on the Senate floor.
Sounds like a bad run news for Hillary, right?
In fact, Hillary's campaign has done something few thought possible:
The woman once portrayed as an ice queen has warmed up her public image, while also projecting the aura of strength, experience and command presence that it takes to be President.
No mean feat.
Actually (to pat myself on the back) I predicted this could happen some time ago in a blog I wrote about Mandy Grunwald, Hillary's media guru. But I didn't think it could happen this fast.
Her campaign may or may not have planned the cleavage display. It certainly wouldn't have wanted the letters released. But sometimes the breaks go your way.
If they don't start going the other way – and if Hillary's team stays on their game – she will be very tough to beat for the nomination.

The best TVs you can buy right now
Find reviews of the best Sharp TVs 40in - 49in.
26 August 2011
Sharp tries to make it two for two with its new 3D TVs with the smaller sibling to its impressive LC-46LE831E: the 40in LC-40LE831E.
23 June 2011
After mostly impressing us with its 3D debut a few months back, the 60in 60LE925E, Sharp has finally followed it up with the more manageable - and vastly more affordable - 46in 46LE831E.
11 May 2010
Sharp mixes in a yellow sub-pixel to the usual red, green and blue ones with great effect.
10 November 2009
The Sharp LC-46LE700E now has 100Hz motion processing, so does this LED backlit LCD TV find favour with John?
13 October 2009
The LC-40LE600E is a genuine original to the UK LCD TV market, offering direct LED lighting with white dimming for a good price.
08 June 2010
Sharp keeps mainstream with this well-priced, Freeview HD-ready, 40-inch LCD TV.
19 March 2009
This Sharp 46in LCD TV has 'green' credentials, but is that enough to win over John?

Professor David Pickernell of the University of Glamorgan Business School looks at the issue of growth and the priority sectors
Few can argue against the importance of economic growth to the future of Wales and, unsurprisingly, most look to indigenous Welsh business to deliver much of that growth. NESTA, for example, has spoken of the "The vital 6%", the small number of highest growing UK businesses that were responsible for more than half the new jobs created by existing businesses between 2002 and 2008.
In the Welsh Government's "Economic Renewal: a new direction", in order to promote this growth, was a focus on six key sectors (now nine, including food and farming, construction and tourism) which are said to have the most potential for growth, and where SMEs are said to be central to achieving this growth.
In order to examine this issue, the Top 300 provides us with a useful starting point. As the Welsh Government acknowledges, the six original priority sectors account for around 22% of private enterprises and 27% of employment in Wales, though the addition of the three additional sectors of construction, tourism and food and farming will have significantly boosted these figures.
Crude initial analysis shows that, among the top 300, 52% of the firms, representing nearly two thirds of employment and just under half the total profits, are not in a priority sector. This can also be seen as indicating that, as the Welsh Government claims, the priority sectors have great potential because, despite employing only a third of the total employed by the top 300 and being less than half of the number of companies (emphasising the stronger SME influence of their structures), they contributed more than half the profits.
Looking at the top 300 companies' growth performance over the past year, however, (that is those firms in the Top 300 this year, comparing their performance this year with last year), we can see that, in terms of employment, the non-priority sectors were the ones that grew most in terms of employment. Only in construction (small growth) and financial and professional services, were there growing numbers of employment overall in the priority sectors.
In terms of turnover the top 300 companies in the priority sectors had higher average growth than those in non priority areas. This was, however, predominantly down to financial and professional services, and advanced materials and manufacturing, both of which are likely to have been due to the performance of the larger companies in these categories rather than the small and medium-sized ones. This suggests that even for the best performing companies in the Welsh economy, in terms of turnover and employment, there is uneven development.
Many of the top 300 firms in sectors focused on by the Welsh Government are therefore not currently able to deliver the strong returns from medium and larger companies on which much depends.
This makes it more important than ever to develop those firms in the top 300, and also to look outside it for smaller, but growing, enterprises in the priority sectors. In addition, however, firms outside the current priority areas able to quickly grow turnover and/or employment are also of importance. This is of particular urgency given the current economic situation and the effects on public sector employment.

Hey congratulations on your car!!
This is a discussion on 96accord's 2015 WRB WRX Limited within the Member Show-Off & Photography forums, part of the Community - Meet other Enthusiasts category; Hey congratulations on your car!!...
Hey congratulations on your car!!
Stink Eye Mob #82
I never met 96accord but can feel his passion for the 2015. Congrats! Very happy for you! I'm another 4-6weeks supposedly. Would love to meet at a meet. Safe cruisin!
Btw, car looks great. I have a limited just like it (GBP) due to arrive next month.
I had the "upgraded " stereo on my '07 WRX which just added a little dinky subwoofer under the seat. It sucked.
The HK stereo is very good in my opinion. Of course its not like a system that you could build/buy yourself and install but from the factory its really good. Had good bass for me (old ears - 29 haha)
Good to hear. I just want some balance and quality in the sound, not necessarily vibrate the rear view mirror with bass.
Nice ride. .. have a wrb limited as well! Love it!
I got the windows tinted (20%) a few weeks ago. Looks darker than it is.
Do the base model wrxs come with the carbon dash like that too? I havent seen inside of one yet but i have one ordered haha
2015 Subaru WRX : ISC Coilovers........
Not much has changed since I last posted. It looks the same.
I'm almost at 6,000 miles.
Went down to Georgia/North Carolina/Tennessee

The latest in interactive street signs
June 21, 2013 Leave a comment
With the dawn of mobile technology street signs may only seem to be of use to foreign visitors. Breakfast, a New York based digital agency, wants to bring back the usefulness of them with Points.
This sign not only moves to change what it is pointing at, but works via social networks to point people to popular locations, places with high ratings, as well as train stations and places of interest. It works by taking information from RSS feeds, Twitter hashtags and Foursquare check-ins. It also has a menu so users can look for specific types of places, including events.
Whilst there is currently only one in the world, which is situated in the Breakfast office, they have received requests from hotels and sporting events and conferences.

The Top Thirteen Customer Management Trends For 2012
Posted by William Band on January 3, 2012
- 825 Recommendations
- 5 comments
What are the key trends that CRM trends that business and IT professionals need to pay attention to in setting their plans during 2012? Here are the top trends that I am tracking. My full report that spotlights our latest research and recommendations for how to compete in The Age of the Customer will be published in late January.
1. Customer experience management will move beyond aspiration to strategy. More organizations will move beyond empty goals like becoming "customer-obsessed" to define clear and actionable customer experience strategies. The strategy must meet three tests: 1) It defines the intended experience; 2) it directs employee activities and decision-making; and 3) it guides funding decisions and project prioritization.
2. Brands will embrace the experience ecosystem. Firms will move to break free from their organizational silos, invest in understanding customer moments of truth through journey-mapping, and embrace the concept of the "customer experience ecosystem" — one that considers the influence of every single employee and external partner on every single customer interaction.
3. Experience management will emerge as a management discipline. There is increasing acceptance of the idea that customer experience management can be thought of as a discipline — a set of sound, repeatable practices such as those are defined in Forrester's Customer Experience Maturity Framework.
4. Organizations will strive to domesticate untamed processes. More organizations will focus on poorly managed processes which remain, in many ways, the last frontiers of business process automation. Processes that touch customers and suffer from inefficiency and disconnects include customer onboarding, order administration, loan processing, incident management, customer service, and investigations.
5. Target operating models will link customer experience with process. Organizations will adopt the notion of target operating models (TOMs) — a representation of how an organization operates across process, organization, and technology domains to deliver the value. In addition, the concepts of "business capability maps" and "value stream analysis" will be used to delineate the business architecture required to deliver an intended customer experience.
6. Agile implementation approaches will take root. Companies want to become more flexible, and they are increasingly adopting Agile project management and software development methodologies based on the principles of iterative development, where requirements evolve through collaboration between a self-organizing cross-functional team. Pure waterfall and big-bang approaches to CRM technology deployment approaches are declining and being replaced with "Water-Scrum" and "Scrum-Fall."
7. Social customer engagement tactics will become more widely used. More social CRM use cases spotlighting demonstrable business value will emerge. Forrester's annual Groundswell Awards showcases hundreds examples of how organizations use Social Computing — for example, in market research, customer self-service, and product development.
8. Mobile applications will empower customer-facing workers and consumers. Interest in mobile CRM solutions is red-hot. But the state of mobile CRM solution support will remain fragmented. To help cut through the complexity, more companies will use Forrester's Mobile CRM Best Practices Assessment Framework to decide how to best support mobile workers.
9. The move to the cloud will continue, intensifying governance challenges. CRM embraced the cloud five years ago. Software-a-service (SaaS) vendor agreements now matter more than ever because greater quantities of mission-critical data and larger dollar amounts are involved. Leading organizations are recognizing that developing SaaS contracting acumen and governance skills is important.
10. Big data and agile BI will move to center stage. Business intelligence professionals face the challenge that social-sourced Customer Intelligence can become a never-ending data gusher. As a result, there is growing interest in "big data." This is an emerging paradigm that focuses on architecting analytic and transactional applications so that they can harness petabytes of complex information flowing in from social media and other new and traditional sources.
11. Solutions will converge to support multichannel customer interactions. Forrester anticipates the convergence of technologies from varied sectors to form the core of customer experience management (CXM) solutions. Vendors from a diverse set of solution categories — from eCommerce platforms to content management, site search, personalization, and customer service — are expanding their capabilities to support the management and optimization of cross-touchpoint customer experiences.
12. Business leaders will refresh their change management skills. Business change management — which we have seen defined as "the process, tools, and techniques to manage the people side of change to achieve a required business outcome" — is still the single hardest part of customer-centric business transformation. We see a resurgence of interest in understanding the best practices for helping employees adapt to new ways of working and building a company culture that puts customers first.
13. The voice of the customer will become an engine for culture change. Organizations will increasingly try to harness the voice of the customer to prioritize process improvement priorities and help back-office employees better understand customer expectations. Providing more customer feedback to employees across the organization in the form of survey results, customer visits, social sentiment data, and the like help employees better understand the impact their decisions have on the customer.
Thanks for this great list of
Comment from Roanne Neuwirth (not verified) on Mon, 01/09/2012 - 12:27
Thanks for this great list of predictions and hope marketers take heed of the importance of leading the charge. Companies are finally beginning to connect the dots regarding the opportunity and the imperative to embrace customer experience management, and I think that marketers have the opportunity to take the lead and bring the other functions along. Your post has inspired me to reflect on the implications for CMOs that I have shared here http://farlandgroup.com/blog/are-you-ready-for-2012-to-be-the-year-of-cu....
Operational Intelligence
Comment from Shalin Shah (not verified) on Tue, 01/10/2012 - 13:54
Great post, William!
Indeed, organizations must strive to domesticate untamed processes. With the hidden causes of broken processes revealed, business operations must now proactively act to eliminate the costs and risks to future revenue while contributing to the top-line with a seamless customer experience. Operational Intelligence takes businesses to a new level of effectiveness and agility by enabling resources to be proactively applied towards risks and opportunities that are long into the future.
About #6, Agile
Comment from Fadi El-Eter (not verified) on Fri, 01/20/2012 - 14:46
About #6, Agile implementations to take root. Every year we have management predictions that list Agile as a silver bullet that will be adopted by every company (look at number #4 in this list: http://www.pmhut.com/top-10-project-management-trends-for-2012 ).
From my perspective, Agile is losing the steam, and the problem lies in the fact that there are just too many versions of Agile - The Agile fathers did not create a clear methodology - it was just some guidelines...
