Success, too, means Gervais's deadlines are his own. With his friend and co-writer Stephen Merchant, he claims the working day starts at 11.30am and finishes at 3pm, "with an hour lunch".
To one side of his desk: a framed Radio Times cover with Kate Winslet, Samuel L Jackson, Ben Stiller and the rest of the cast of Extras, the sitcom that, at its creators' insistence, was shown not as the jewel of BBC1's autumn schedule but on BBC2 over summer, yet still scooped a quarter of the available audience.
Facing him: a framed Manhattan skyline, emblematic, perhaps, of The Office's American success, the first British show to be nominated, and win twice, at the Golden Globes. In addition we might count the six Baftas, four British Comedy Awards and the programme's status as the bestselling TV DVD ever, soon to be translated into 80 languages. (Largely for this reason, an industry poll recently voted Gervais Comedy's Most Powerful Person.)
In the corner: a widescreen TV and video used, we might guess, to check the roughs of "Homer Simpson, This Is Your Wife", The Simpsons' episode he has written, or For Your Consideration, the Hollywood film by Christopher "Spinal Tap" Guest (a hero), in which he will star.
On his desk: a tidy pile of More Flanimals, his new children's book; the first entered The New York Times bestseller list at number eight.
In his lap: a draft of episode 19 of The Office: An American Workplace, the US version of The Office on which he advises. Now in its third season, it has outlasted its parent.
It's a big place, Gervais's office. But we might learn as much from what isn't here as what is. Aside from the above - desk, chair, TV, two pictures - it's a curiously bare room. Gervais sits in one corner like the boy kept behind after class. After the removal men have been in.
"Anything will distract him," says Merchant. "We used to work at his house and there were far too many things there. Do you remember Paul Daniels having a tea party with some monkeys? That's what Ricky's like. You'll be saying 'OK, we're getting on to something now' and you'll look round and he's hanging from a tyre. We've learned to strip away the distractions."
It hasn't worked. When I first meet him, he's messing around with his Apple desktop, having recently discovered internet radio. "I've found a Celtic station" he exclaims, and gives that loud, endearing laugh - Mutley chuckle rising sharply to Mad Axe Murderer - familiar to anyone who's watched the DVD outtakes of The Office, which largely consist of him in stitches, unable to finish his lines despite the fact he wrote them himself. (One scene, where Gervais's character, David Brent, gives Martin Freeman's character, Tim, an appraisal required 74 takes.)
Is he busy? "Busy in everything but the work," he says. "There's things to get ready. The [Extras] DVD is coming out. We do everything ourselves. We agonise about every detail. The fonts. We try to be more laid-back, but you just can't. You look at something and think 'That's alright. Oh, but that quote's a bit lame. Why did they put that on?'"
He produces a 2006 calendar for The Office. It's been causing him discomfort. "The BBC have wanted to do this for four years. I've finally relented, now the show's over. I couldn't stand to be seen profiting from something I'm not proud of, so it's going to charity. The body of work and the legacy are so much more important than having a top-selling calendar. It's embarrassing enough earning 1,000 times a nurse's wage for essentially showing off. I've got to earn it."
This is Gervais in interview mode. A bit earnest. He doesn't especially enjoy the process - "You can't relax until they've gone", I overhear him telling the photographer, afterwards - and he's at some pains not to be misconstrued, often doubling back on himself to argue against a point he's just brought up. It's good fun listening to him, but he's not "being funny". Fair enough: he was once asked to name three things he'd save if his house caught fire and, wittily, replied: "cat, salamander and one of the twins" only to be quizzed on the twins' names in subsequent interviews (he has no children).
And, of course, he really doesn't need to sell himself. The Hollywood A-list loved The Office; when he asked them to be in Extras, everyone he approached said yes. Since his success came relatively late in life, he's canny enough to have sussed that longevity comes through cult appeal (no matter how big that cult gets). And since that success came on his own terms, he knows the leverage he's got. "I'm a cottage industry," he says. He declined a £5m "golden handcuffs" deal: "I don't want to be the BBC's bitch". When the corporation announced, earlier this month, they'd green-lighted Extras series two, he responded "Good job... Stephen and I had already booked the studio and promised 30 actors a job." He was joking. A bit.
What sort of a comedian is Ricky Gervais? He's not a character-based satirist like Steve Coogan or a what's-the-best-biscuit? gag merchant like Alan Davies or Peter Kay. Like Larry David (another hero), Gervais revels in social clumsiness and excruciating faux pas. With insecure, infantile boss David Brent in The Office and self-serving actor Andy Millman in Extras, Gervais digs big holes for his characters, then gleefully hands them the spade. In Animals and Politics, his two stand-up shows, he upends notions of political correctness, if not quite saying the unsayable, then certainly seeing how much he can make audiences wince. He has called Stephen Hawking lazy, Gandhi annoying and made cracks about the Holocaust. One of the characters who didn't make the final cut in Meet Ricky Gervais, his unsuccessful 2000 sketch show, was called Dirty Old Queer. When he appeared on Room 101, he bucked the tradition for sending spiders and Margaret Thatcher into purgatory by nominating Children In Need.
"But I was putting a bad television show in," he says. "Why should we think that Children In Need is a good programme?"
But surely he did it for the mischief. There are plenty of bad TV shows that aren't for disadvantaged kids.
"It was a little bit naughty. But it's only that 'Is this OK?' moment. Of course you want that moment. 'Can he say that?' All these middle-class sensibilities... "
The comedian Jim Davidson recently hit the comeback trail, citing Gervais as one reason his un-PC jokes might again find favour. "Ricky Gervais gets away with gags like turning to his wheelchair-bound producer during a show, saying 'He's 31, you'd think he'd be able to walk by now,'" he said.
"Then he's got it wrong," says Gervais. "My humour isn't un-PC at all. I think it's clear there's a satirical edge to my characters, or my stand-up, even when I go under my own name. It's clearly me, getting it wrong. Playing the idiot. There's no hate involved."
'Extras' certainly ran the gamut of emotive issues. Every episode Andy Millman and his best friend, fellow actor Maggie Jacobs (Ashley Jensen) got themselves into a pickle over race or religion, or managed to insult someone with cerebral palsy or one leg shorter than the other.
"There were times when you read the script and thought 'Oh God, how am I going to get away with that?'" says Jensen, whose mother helps children with learning difficulties. "But a lot of intelligent comedy does poke you a bit. It opens things up. I don't know what they're going to do for the next series, though. Because, really, we didn't leave anyone out."
The other source of ribbing came via Extras' celebrity guests, all playing "monstrous" versions of themselves. Rumour has it that telly tough-nut Ross Kemp took umbrage at some of the lines portraying him as a wimp and Jude Law pulled out of the last episode at the last minute (the day they discover this and the subsequent failure to reach Leonardo DiCaprio's agent via a Nokia plugged into a hotel wall is captured, hilariously, on the Extras DVD). But the show that caused most consternation was one featuring Les Dennis. Suicidal, reduced to appearing in a rubbish Aladdin panto and with a dollybird fiancée who's blatantly unfaithful, Dennis's character eventually breaks down: "Why don't people want to come out and see Les Dennis? Where did it all go wrong?"
Where other actors came off as good sports for riffing on patently preposterous versions of themselves (Kate Winslet as a potty-mouthed, Oscar-eyed careerist playing a nun in Nazi Germany, for example), plenty felt that Dennis's character was rather too close to home. The actor Gerard Kelly complained, and he was in the same episode.
"But it's the press perception of him we played with," says Gervais. "Les isn't a sad, lonely man. Through no fault of his own, he became a whipping boy."
"I knew the implications of how dark it was," says Dennis. "I watched it with some friends and a couple of them had to watch a second time before they felt comfortable with it. But it was Ricky and Stephen who said 'How far can we go?' and me who said 'Go all the way'. There've been so many people who've taken the piss out of the situation I've had; to be seen to take the piss myself draws a line under it."
And anyway, Extras and The Office couldn't have built their vast audiences on provocative humour alone. In the unrequited relationship between Tim and Dawn (in the latter), and the platonic one between Andy and Maggie (in the former), there beats a big human heart.
"The Office is bigger than comedy," says Little Britain's David Walliams. "Look at the Christmas episode with the theme that David Brent is redeemed by love. That's an incredible thing to bring in. It's like the stuff Woody Allen was doing, post-Annie Hall. Little Britain doesn't have anywhere near the profundity Ricky's comedy has."
Ricky Gervais was born 44 years ago, a mistake. "My mum told me that," he says. "She went 'You was an accident'. I went 'Cheers!' Ha ha! A lot of honesty in my family." His father, Jerry, was a French-Canadian (Gervais rhymes with "raise", not "race") soldier stationed here during the war. He met Eva, the comedian's mother, during a blackout and they settled in Reading. The youngest, by some way, of four brothers, his childhood was trauma-free. Like The Waltons, he says, "If the Waltons took the piss out of each other. You had to be able to answer back." The first time he did, he got a laugh and, his family reasoned, "He'll be alright."
He could read by the age of three. At eight, he announced he was an atheist. He did biology at University College, London, before switching to philosophy (something his tutor said, "There are three things important to a good life: a decent relationship, a decent job of work and making a difference," came out of Brent's mouth, verbatim). Afterwards, he stayed on as student-union entertainment manager, for a time managing the band Suede, pre-fame. Aged 21, he was in a band himself, new romantics Seona Dancing. Their singles reached 117 and 70. The video for one, "Bitter Heart", was set in a blacksmith's.
"We'd go to the pub and buy a pint each to last all night, just to stay warm," his partner Jane Fallon, now a successful TV producer (EastEnders, Teachers) has said. "Ricky and I were the most unambitious people ever." Aged 36, he landed a job as head of speech at indie radio station XFM, and, via Fallon, was music advisor on TV's This Life. At XFM he met Merchant and they wrote together on several projects - Golden Years, The 11 o'clock Show, Meet Ricky Gervais - before their homemade Office pilot was bought by the BBC in 1999. In 2001, as he became famous, his mother died from lung cancer. His father then died the following year. (He has since done promotional work for cancer charities.)
One morning, Gervais has agreed to interview Coldplay's Chris Martin, for the music magazine Q. I go along too. The pair have met only briefly before but chatter away, with Gervais trying to persuade the singer to appear in the next series of Extras and Martin stonewalling him.
Gervais has a funny attitude to fame. Broadly, he doesn't like it. "Being famous is worse than I imagined," he says. "I don't want to be lumped in with celebrities because I use 'celebrity' as a derogatory term. I don't want to be looked at buying pants. I'm already too famous. I don't need to be this famous to be an actor or a comedian." He won't go to the pub after 8 o'clock. Too much hassle. He'd love to do Have I Got News For You and QI because he thinks they're brilliant, but really, what's the point? "I don't want to use up my cachet, the number of times my fat face is on telly."
Fame has put some peculiar offers his way. Playing the butler to George Clooney's Magnum, in a remake of Magnum, PI. Starring opposite Will Smith, as his brother. Being the singer in the re-formed Frankie Goes To Hollywood.
He's refused countless ads. When he declined one company's offer of £1m, they upped it to £2m.
Still, being in a band, casting himself in his shows - aren't these the actions of someone who's always wanted to be centre stage?
"I suppose you want the best of both worlds," he says. "You want respect and power for what you do and the best way to get that is to have a central role in something like The Office. If someone said 'You can never perform again or you can never write and direct again', that would be very difficult. Because I want it all." He concedes one aspect of fame he likes is meeting famous people he admires. "I know that if I had only written The Office, David Bowie wouldn't be calling me. He'd be calling the bloke who played David Brent."
After the Chris Martin interview has finished, Gervais gets out a video camera. He wants to film Martin for his website.
"Chris Martin from Coldplay, I've got a few questions for you. Now, you like to buy clothes in third-world sweatshops, because they're cheaper. Do you prefer Chinese or Indian-made stuff?"
"Indian," says Martin, playing along. "Chinese don't know what they're doing."
"You famously said you don't trust black people. Is that racist?"
"I think racism is a state of mind."
"On tour, you have the band and crew in stitches with your famous impression of a thalidomide. Why do they find that so funny?"
"What sort of a question is that?" asks Martin.
Where will Ricky Gervais go next? Wherever he wants. His unique position means he can turn down the offers he doesn't fancy - Mission Impossible 3 - and take up the ones he does - The Simpsons. He's working on his third stand-up show, Science. He'd like Flanimals to be a movie, but wants to take his time, avoid hype. That way, he says, it stands a chance of being the next Dr Seuss or Mr Men. He and Merchant have started on the second Extras, though they've only got as far as one side of A4. Still, Madonna and Brad Pitt both approached him at Live8 and said they'd be in it. And Tom Cruise has put his hand up, too. ("There's baggage there," he says.)
Merchant says he'd like to see them have a go at drama. "In five years' time," says Gervais, "the only place I want to be is in a room with Steve Merchant, working on a new project."
The last time I see him, he's sat behind a table in Waterstone's signing copies of More Flanimals. The shop's employees make sure everyone who joins the queue has purchased a copy of the book. Inevitably, people have snuck in other things, too. As he approaches Gervais, one young man whips out the dastardly 2006 Office calendar (all proceeds to charity).
"Where did you get that?" asks Gervais, aghast. "Is it on sale already?"
Then he catches himself and does that great big laugh.

Suicide bomber kills 22 at Iraqi Shi'ite mosque
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A suicide bomber disguised as a mourner killed at least 22 people inside an Iraqi Shi'ite Muslim mosque on Wednesday when he set off his explosives in the middle of a crowded funeral.
The latest of four suicide attacks in a week came as Shi'ite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki faces mounting pressure from mass Sunni protests that threaten to return Iraq to the scale of sectarian violence that killed thousands in 2006-2007.
Dressed in a suit, the bomber mingled with mourners before detonating the blast at the Saif al Shuhada, Sword of the Martyrs, mosque in Tuz Khurmato city at a ceremony for a Shi'ite ethnic Turkman, police and witnesses said.
"I was sitting in the seats at the back when all of sudden I heard the sound of a huge explosion. Thank God I was behind because people in front of me saved me with their bodies," said Abbas Qadir Mohammed, 35, one of the wounded.
Panicked survivors packed the injured and dead wrapped in carpets into trucks and cars to rush them to hospital in the religiously and ethnically mixed city 170 km (105 miles) north of the capital Baghdad.
Rigot Mohammed, an Iraqi army spokesman, said at least 22 people were killed and more than 50 wounded in the blast.
No one claimed responsibility, but al Qaeda's local wing, Islamic State of Iraq, often targets Shi'ite Muslim pilgrims and sites to try to trigger widespread Sunni-Shi'ite confrontation in Iraq a year after the last American troops withdrew.
The Sunni militant group has pledged to win back ground lost during the war following the U.S.-led 2003 invasion and has been reinvigorated by Sunni Islamists fighting against President Bashar al-Assad in neighboring Syria.
Maliki is struggling to calm weeks of street protests by Sunni Muslims while his delicately balanced government, a coalition of Sunnis, ethnic Kurds and the Shi'ite majority, is deadlocked in a crisis over power sharing. Continued...

More Children Living With Grandparents
New research shows more than 7 million children in the United States are currently living with a grandparent.
According to the Pew Research Center, 3 million kids have a grandparent as their primary caregiver.
In many cases it's because the parents are too young, or are single, or simply can't afford to keep their own children.
The Pew Center's Gretchen Livingston says the numbers have actually been stabilizing though over the past few years.
"It suggests that perhaps the economy has started to recover, and there's less need for grandparents to be helping out by either living or caring for their grandchildren."
Livingston says the numbers spiked in 2009, but since then have actually been leveling off.

Why did Law Enforcement Agencies move away from .45 caliber guns? I read somewhere that one of the reasons was the slow moving .45 round lost it's effectiveness to stop a threat after penetrating the windshield of a car. Any truth to this?

Why did Law Enforcement Agencies move away from .45 caliber guns? I read somewhere that one of the reasons was the slow moving .45 round lost it's effectiveness to stop a threat after penetrating the windshield of a car. Any truth to this?
I don't think they really ever "moved away" from it. .45 ACP has never been a standard caliber for the majority of agencies throughout the years. Back in wheelgun days, the vast majority of agencies carried .38 or .357 magnum. Then, a large scale transition was made to high-capacity 9mm pistols to equal the firepower of the bad guys. Within the last 10 years or so, there has been a large scale move to .40 S&W, which is by far the most issued LE caliber today. .45 is still in use with a few agencies, and many officers that can choose their sidearm pick .45 ACP.
I would think that barrier penetration would be good with modern bullet technology with .45, but I have heard that Texas DPS went to .357 Sig and prefer it to their old .45s because of better barrier penetration through automobile barriers, which are a factor in most of their shootings. I've seen 9mm ball ammo outpenetrate .45 ball ammo on the same barrier material (steel), but this isn't directly related to duty JHP ammo. I know that testing in the military showed that NATO 9mm ammo will penetrate a helmet at a much greater distance than .45 ball ammo will.
Actually, the 45ACP performs much better penetrating automobiles than most calibers. It has to do with mass, not velocity. In fact, after being present for a few shootings involving vehicles, I switched to 45ACP for my work gun.
Anyway, the truth why 45ACP is not more popular is this; Capacity, ergonomics, economics and myth.
Capacity is obvious. There simple are not a lot of 45ACP pistols out there that can compete with the 9's and 40's in this category.
Ergonomics, pretty much all 45ACP duty type pistols are big guns. Remember that police departments have to choose a pistol that a wide range of people can operate.
Economics, it is a lot cheaper to send a thousand officers to the range once a month shooting 9mm than its is 45.
Myth. The old 45ACP kicks like a mule, the recoil will knock you off your feet, they are inaccurate, they are hard to control... the list can go on and on.
.45 all the way for me, hit the guy with a flying ashtray is my motto
The reasons stated above , plus another reason, for those departments that did have 1911s, was maintenance. Glocks tend to have drop-in replacement parts and don't require any tuning. 1911s can require fitting of different parts due to lack of standardization. As the model got more popular after WWII, different manufacturers started making their own variations on the theme, leading to different spec guns and parts. The owner of a 1911 typically has to be a little more "gun aware" to properly and reliably use and maintain his 1911 than, say, the owner of a Glock. That, coupled with the fact that many new officers have no prior firearms experience, is a reason why we don't see that many departments that use the 1911. However, note that many SWAT units and special ops units still use it. They have the resources and the training to do so. That being said, I had to get special permission in my all-Glock department to carry a 1911 on duty, and I did because I have worked with 1911s so long and appreciate a really good trigger. At the same time, I have a G19 for qualifying in the rain.
I don't really know. I always thought departments picked their duty weapon on the 'best deal' from the gun maker. The 9mm and .45 were carried, then all of a sudden S&W designed the M&P40. Now the M&P40 is the duty sidearm. They hand it out, we carry it.
I'll bet it has a lot to do with economics.
+ 1 Sixto.
They did? We're required to carry either a Glock 21 (.45 acp) or Glock 22 (.40). Most carry the 21.
Magazine capacity, budget constraints, and the fact smaller/female officers were having a hard time qualifying due to recoil. Advances in bullet design have started bridging the gap between .45 and 9mm.
In my neck of the woods everyone is carrying the .45. Most of the agencys have migrated back to the .45.Quote:
Why did Law Enforcement Agencies move away from .45 caliber guns?
I carry a Sig220, Colt Combat Commander or a G21.
I have heard that Glock has 70% of the US police market. And reading my post above, I had to smile, too, upon re-reading it. I have qualified with my 1911 in all kinds of weather and conditions. I also took a course that involved throwing it around in the sand, scooping it up and continuing shooting. I usually qualify with both guns annually. My point, not well made, apparently, in referring to the Glock was simply that it is a lot easier to clean and maintain and that, in the eyes of some departments, is a factor in their favor.

Upper radiator hose clamps?
Hi, newbie here! First let me apologize if this has been answered before, I can honestly tell you I really searched for a LONG time trying to resolve this myself. We recently purchased a used 2003 BMW 530i and are very happy with it. However we now have a leak in the upper radiator hose and I am aware from reading the forum that the whole coolant system should be replaced but we just can't do it at this time. I have found Bluebee's instructions on removing the hose to be extremely helpful and have tried it myself but it's just not budging! I feel like the screw driver is causing too much damaging with each twist (and if I cause any more expenses my hubby will never let me hear the end of it!
). My question is...can the middle hose be removed, leaving the "quick connects" (with the pins) still attached to the car and if so do I cut the metal rings off? I've noticed the auto shops tend to just carry the hose itself anyway. Also is there a step by step instruction for just the hose removal? It seems to be a simple process, I'm just scared because of all the new terms I'm learning such as "bleeding", etc... HELP! (Pretty please).

Had he not known where and what you carried, or that you carried at all...he would not have known.
It's nice to know that the minister is pro-gun.

OK, this isn't the usual I got made thread, but thought it had enough interesting points to type it up.
Saturday afternoon it was my turn to cut the grass at our church. My wife went with me and she wanted a turn using the church's riding mower. As she is across the road cutting a field the church also owns the minister came out of his house which borders the church property. He had brought out a couple of bottles of water for us. I was half way across the parking lot and yelled over to him "Thanks, We brought our own water!" and proceeded to walk over to my wife to see if she wanted me to finish the lot.
When I returned the minister was still waiting by my truck. He wanted to show me something, which he flashed me before I was twenty feet from him. Even at that distance I knew it was his CPL.
He and his wife had just gotten them. He knows I carry all the time so I sat down and we talked while I waited for my wife. I asked him if he was carrying at the time and he said "Yes, can you tell where?" I said I assumed he was pocket carrying since I knew he bought a Kahr with the intent of pocket carrying. He proceeded to pat himself down, going from one pocket to another. He had on cargo shorts so there were a lot of pockets. When he was done he lifted his polo shirt to show me the Kahr in an IWB holster with a spare mag. I told him it concealed quite well, even after I knew where it was. He told me that he had been able to see that I had my snob nose in my front pocket of my jeans shorts as I walked across the parking lot.
He wants to get a snub nose revolver for his wife to carry since she has to go into the bad part of the neighboring town for her job. I said that I think a revolver makes sense for her because the manual of arms is simpler and he should get her one.

Ah, you guys are one firmware upgrade away from having your very own Space Sphere.
As a bonus, it should say "I'm in space!" only when all three accelerometer channels drop to zero-g.

Wow, I didn't even notice the addition of UPS and I even placed a SparkFun order recently with them.
I was expecting two packages, one SparkFun, and when UPS showed up without my red box, it didn't take him long to look through the truck and find it. Those red boxes are handy!
I've been meaning to pick up one of the new Arduino Unos, but they've been out of stock every time I look, can I back-order with Free Day funds?
Wow, this is deja vu for me. As a professional software developer for 30+ years, this sounds like some things we have said about TRS-80…
Funny you should bring up the TRS-80. I cut my programming teeth on the TRS-80 as a little kid, and now I'm a full fledged roboticist writing assembly code for PICs (No Arduinos for me!) Having BASIC do the nitty gritty for me wasn't a hindrance but a catalysis. Those that truly need to learn the harder stuff will when it's appropriate.
I've never used an Arduino since I was introduced to PICs first, but I've recommended them to several people and they've all appreciated the suggestion.
For plotting, I use matplotlib which is a library for python. For all those students out there, I highly recommend the Enthought Python Distribution which sets up python, matplotlib and a ton of other useful libraries with one install, on lots of different operating systems and it's free for students.
I'm not a fan of going off the length of the legs: what happens if I cut the leads and then forget? So, there's usually a flat or a cut on the plastic lip at the bottom of the LED. So, I remember: "Cut is for C…cathode" and then my other memory is "Current flows alphabetically, anode to cathode."

Failing to connect power is my number one point of failure. Even after I've double-checked it, it turns out I needed to triple check it. So, for every chip I've installed, I've been pulling out a multimeter and probing the power pins as close as possible to chip, to make sure they're getting the proper voltage.

The other day, I lost about four hours trying to debug a problem with a XBee. First I probed the power connections where I soldered the pins to the PCB, and they seemed fine. Four frustrating hours later, I probed the solder connections on the XBee itself (probing as close to the chip as possible) and I discovered that my connector was faulty.

Also, for more debugging, I highly recommend this book:

I recall being taught to always give each LED it's own current limiting resistor because otherwise, the LED with the smallest voltage drop would take the lion's share of current. If you hook five in parallel, and each can only take 20 mA and if you sized the current limiting resistor to provide 100 mA, then you'll wind up with one LED taking more than 20 mA, which might exceed the current rating.

One last word of caution for people using these. I'd had good success soldering these guys in, but I messed one up by leaving the heat too long on the ground pin (I was trying to tack down the part and was fumbling.) It failed to make a good connection and after a long hour of debugging, I found the voltage on the soldered connection on the socket and the XBee didn't match, so there was a bad connection.

So, after you solder in the socket and connect up the XBee module, measure the VCC and GND pins on the module (not on the socket pins) to make sure you get the 3.3 volts.
No public wish lists :(

I requested a copy of my credit report on 3/25. The CRA responded on 5/2 which is 38 days instead of the required 30 days. Law says I can sue for $1,000. True? Are lawyers fees included? Is the CRA required to remove the credit report?
Talk with a local consumer lawyer, but don't expect to receive a large jackpot as a result of this minor mistake. Hope this perspective helps!Ask a similar question
You are mistaken. A credit bureau does not have to respond to your request in 30 days. Rather, when the credit bureaus receive a dispute about a debt, they notify the furnisher of the dispute (i.e. the creditor). If the creditor verifies that the information is correct, it stays; if the creditor does not verify the information in 30 days, the credit bureau is supposed to remove it.
Credit bureaus make their money from creditors, not consumers. The credit bureaus listen to the creditors, not the consumers and credit reports are filled with errors. You can only sue the credit bureaus (and not all states recognize private causes of action against the credit bureaus) if there is erroneous or inaccurate information that the credit bureaus have failed to correct. If you are alleging that an error occurred in the reporting of information, you can recover up to $1000 per violation or your actual damages (if you were denied a loan or forced to get a loan at a higher rate because of the failure to correct the error). You also can recover reasonable attorney's fees.
If you think that a bona fide error/inaccuracy occurred, then you should talk to a consumer law attorney who specializes in FDCPA/FCRA violations.Ask a similar question

A Reply to Frances Harrison of the Huffington Post.
Posted on November 19th, 2012
By Charles.S.Perera
In an article  to  the Huffington Post of the 16 November,2012 Frances Harrison asks, " What if the UN Had Spoken Out on Sri Lanka ?â€Â The article is to blame UN for suppressing the information it is supposed to have had about 50,000 casualties in a war off limit to journalists and asks  if today the United Nations had informed the receipt of such unconfirmed reports   †wouldn't the world take notice of it ?â€ÂÂÂ
What would have happened ? We know what happened in Libya . We have seen in Libya what happened when the "world took notice and tried to stop the killings.â€Â That taking notice ended up in what the NATO said  the " most successful operation  in NATO History.â€ÂÂÂ
"Writing back in September, Thomas C. Mountain, an independent journalist currently living in Africa who was a member of the 1st US Peace Delegation to Libya in 1987, estimated that NATO had dropped over 30,000 bombs on Libya, with an average of "two civilians killed in each attack.†Thus, Mountain has estimated that some 60,000 Libyan civilians had been killed by NATO air strikes alone by the end of August.  Shortly thereafter, when rebel forces began the siege of Sirte, Moussa Ibrahim, a spokesman for the now-deceased Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, told Reuters via telephone on September 19 that "in the last 17 days, more than 2,000 residents of the city of Sirte were killed in NATO air strikes." As of today, some 26,000 NATO sorties and 9,600 strike missions have been conducted by NATO, with an average of four bombs used per attack.  "Though it may never be known just how many died in "the most successful operation in NATO history,†the alliance has shown little interest in rebuilding a nation that has in many ways been wrecked by its seven-month military campaign.  "
According to Palestinian human rights activist Shawan Jabarin, "The military operation damaged everything in Libya, not just Gaddafi and his regime, but the society [as well].â€ÂÂÂ
After some 8,000 bombing raids, with estimates of 4 bombs used per attack NATO has already dropped over 30,000 bombs on Libya. That's almost 200 bombs per day for 6 months, some tens of thousands of tons of high explosives. With an estimated 2 Libyans killed per bomb and without a single NATO casualty the Western regimes have massacred over 60,000 Libyans in the past half year with the rebels themselves having said there have been 50,000 Libyan deaths. One hell of a humanitarian intervention isn't it? (http://www.counterpunch.org/2011/09/02/30000-bombs-over-libya/)
Frances Harrison that is how the " world took notice†in Libya when a group of Libyans in Benghazi manifested against the Colonel Gaddafi . It was not really the world but it was the "leaders of the powerful nations†that took notice of it and went all out to not only assassinate Colonel Gaddafi but also kill large numbers of civilians including women and children. After that NATO's most successful bombardments in its history what remained of Libyan cities and villagers were rubble of buildings, and houses where once people lived.
 It would have been exactly what would have happened to Sri Lanka "if the world took notice and tried to stop the killings.†The UN Secretary General having had experience of knowing how the West reacts to such notification may have deliberately suppressed the information without allowing the Western Nations to send its NATO Forces to turn Sri Lanka into rubble with civilian deaths put off as  collateral damage.
 There would not have been the Human Rights watch , the Amnesty international, International Crisis Group and the UNHRC that would have got involved to intervene but just the  NATO bombardments. Frances Harrison aught to be naïf , not to understand that eventuality.
 Frances Harrison ,  today UNO is just a label, there are other Organisations and Agencies that have usurped  the original UNO. What remains is an empty shell just bearing its name. After the  Swedish Secretary General of  UNO Dag Hammarskjold, the next European who held the position was Austrian Kurt Waldheim, and after him no Western man has  headed the UNO.
 Since then the Western countries were disrespectful to the UNO, and gradually it lost its importance as an International Organisation to keep war at bay, making it a forum for the dissenting nations to meet and settle their disputes in dialogue rather than resorting to war. George Bush just walked over the UNO and declared war against Iraq waving  tampered documents claiming Iraq has stock piles of  weapons of mass destruction. In like fashion France, USA, UK and their allies gave false assertion of surveying the airspace over Libya and got the NATO Forces to Bomb Libya.
 Frances Harrison has not written anything about Syria. Syrian war continues because the western countries arm the rebels against the Armies of Al Asad like they did in Libya. Fortunately Sri Lanka escaped such a dire end. The West including people like Frances Harrison regret that lost opportunity to get the NATO to bombard Sri Lanka and arm the "rebels under Prabhakaran†against the Government.
 For Frances Harrison it is the question of  a leaked document which had been suppressed by the Secretary General Ban Ki Moon. One wonders how many such leaked documents there would be in future.  It is really another farce that is being enacted by the West. There had been no leaked documents, but these are  reports and information brought out from time to  time to discredit a Sovereign State –Sri Lanka which is doing far  better than the expectation of the West.
 At the moment West is facing a serious political and economic crisis. There greatest fear is the Asian countries piercing through difficult technological and financial barriers to take over the control of the world economy.  USA has its part of the unsurmountable difficulties, yet the newly elected President Barrack Obama makes a voyage to Burma of all places. Why not to France which has changed its conservative regime to a Socialist Regime ?
 President Obama chooses Burma to spread American influence in an area of the world where China is becoming a super power. America by its hopeful influence in Burma is trying to avert China's influence in North Korea, which America continues to threaten along with Iran for their  nuclear intentions.
 Therefore it is understandable that Frances Harrison is  made a mere pawn in the hands of the Western big powers to stop Sri Lanka getting further involved with China, allowing China to make use of its politically strategic position. The west is involved in a power game discrediting Sri Lanka and help any dissenting groups like the TNA and anti Sri Lanka pro-terrorist Tamil Diaspora to Balkanize Sri Lanka. Having had lost the opportunity they had to break up Sri Lanka at the last phase of its military operations against the terrorists, the countries Frances Harrison represent now come out with "leaked†documents and numbers killed by the armed forces at the crucial phase of its war against terrorists gradually increased from 7000 to 40 or 50000.
Frances Harrison is getting depressive haunted by the thoughts of what may have happened at the end phase of Sri Lanka war against terrorists. Harrison says, "The document cites the UN's role in Rwanda, saying some lessons there were not learned and proved relevant to Sri Lanka. Let's hope they're learned for Syria, but as the author of a book of survivors' stories from that war in Sri Lanka I am haunted by the thought of what might have been there.â€ÂÂÂ
Frances Harrison refers to Charles Petrie's document and very sadly remarks, "Petrie's report meticulously documents how senior UN officials continuously tried to blame the Tamil Tiger rebels – a proscribed terrorist group – for the killings even while their own international staff told them the Sri Lankan government was responsible for the majority of deaths. It was a bias that has slanted all coverage of the conflict since because it came from such an influential and reliable source – the UN no less. â€ÂÂÂ
Whatever Charlesd Petrie had said UN is making constant errors without having an agenda of its own but serving the agenda of those powerful Western Countries. There are no reliable reports about Sri Lanka  from whatever western agencies, journalists or foreign political analysts , not to speak of the squeaking of the BBC,  the UK Channel 4 and the likes.ÂÂÂÂ
 I cannot understand Frances Harrison who is supposed to have written a book of survivors' stories from that war in Sri Lanka,( apparently there are many who profit from the situation in Sri Lanka to make money writing books for gullible western readers) has not read the report of the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission on its  records of the breaches of the CFA by the terrorists and the Government, an excerpt from  which reads:  " In total 13,026 complaints were filed, most of them in Batticaloa (3815, 29%) and Jaffna (3219, 25%). The vast majority (92%) of the violations were committed by the LTTE ….â€ÂÂÂ
 The Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission was a European Group, and they reported from what they had verified and monitored that the majority of the violations against the CFA were committed by the terrorists.  How can then those  who had no access to the ground situation   say, even if they were senior UN Officials that , "the Sri Lankan government was responsible for the majority of deaths.â€ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ
 In the final stages of the military operations against the terrorists no body could have been counting deaths though Frances Harrison faults the UN officials . There was an exodus of Tamil Civilians held as human shields by the terrorists    seeking the safety amoung the Government Military Forces.ÂÂÂÂ
 Can Frances Harrison understand the dimension of the situation that existed in that no fire zone ? Why cannot Harrison give a modicum  of  his thoughts to the extreme human kindness of the Armed Forces taking 300000 Tamil Civilians to safety risking their own lives ? Would the soldiers who helped the escapees from the terrorists seeking their protection turn round to shoot at them ?
 Frances Harrison any human being has two mental aspects one that appreciates, and the other that condemns. What one observes in these Western do gooders is their weeping for the unknown dead, without turning to understand the living. They readily condemn, but are  slow to give credit.   If one can look at the problem without getting personally involved then one  will realise that there are the inevitable that may happen in war for which the one that fights to destroy the evil cannot be blamed .  For terrorism was the evil that, massacred, killed, and maimed a nation's cherished people, men and women of valour.
 Frances Harrison there are many who try to put the Sri Lanka terrorists and the Government Forces on the same footing. This is a most disgusting way of evaluating  perpetrators of crime, and those who try to stop its perpetration.
 Would you put Al Qaeda who blew up the twin towers killing more than 3000 Americans and the American Navy Seals who killed the unarmed Osma Bin Laden on the same footing ?ÂÂÂÂ
 Of course you would not… so why do you write accusingly of  Ban Ki Moon's Chef of the cabinet Mr. Vijay Nambiar an intelligent man imploring Navy Pillai to tone down and dilute her statement ? You say "He even complained that her statement put the Tamil Tiger rebels and the government on the same footing.â€ÂÂÂ
 Frances Harrison,  many are the people who have come forward to accuse Sri Lanka after the elimination of the cancer of terrorism that ate into the fabric of the Sri Lankan Society for three decades . They never came forward before either to sympathise with the government and the people of Sri Lanka, nor to give a hand in its attempt to rid itself of terrorism.ÂÂÂÂ
 Why do you now after three years come round to look for numbers dead, while the living are seeking  to get over the shock of going that long period of suffering to settle down to reconcile with the communities and march together towards progressive development of Sri Lanka ?
Perhaps Frances Harrison does not know  how many innocent civilians have been killed by the very nations he represent through out the period of colonisation from Peru to Africa, Vietnam to India, Latin America to Middle East ? What are the numbers  the Western countries you represent killed in Vietnam, in Japan , in China, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Libya ?
 Frances Harrison you do not represent a saintly crowd of Western countries ? They are and they have been more devilish, ruthless killers, murderers, and assassins ?
 The war against terrorists in Sri Lanka was a rightful war against a group of terrorists sprung from amoung the people, and fought within the boundaries of Sri Lanka. It was a clean war . It is the West represented by you who are used to unclean wars , who try to make our war against our terrorist  seem unclean.
 If there were to be terrorism again in Sri Lanka we will eliminate them the same way we eliminated the LTTE terrorists, and will not allow any one of the countries you represent to interfere asking us to set up monitoring offices.
 Frances Harrison, you have worked for the BBC, Amnesty International , but these institutions have no love, they have no sense of justice and fair play. They get reporters to write what they are paid to report . They are reporters without feelings without  hearts. Each country has its own  cultural values that makes one  nation different from another. It is only one who knows and understands another's culture, that can evaluate the reasons of its actions. The rest are mere spectators trying to understand others from one's own cultural make up, which is different from that of the other.

Raiders offensive lineman next in line for extension with Carr's deal done
Raiders offensive lineman next in line for extension with Carr's deal done
The Raiders locked up Derek Carr last week, signing their franchise quarterback to a five-year, $125 million contract extension.
He isn't the only member of the 2014 draft class worthy of a raise. Edge rusher Khalil Mack will get a big one, likely at some point next offseason. The Raiders have some time with Mack after exercising a fifth-year contract option available for first-round picks.
General manager Reggie McKenzie didn't have that luxury with Carr, and his 2014 second-round pick cashed in before formally entering a contract year.
Right guard Gabe Jackson could do the exact same thing. McKenzie prefers to draft, develop and reward homegrown talent, and the 2014 third-round pick should be next in line to do so.
McKenzie has said back in March that he'd like to extend Jackson's contract, though there isn't a deadline to do so.
"There's no timetable," general manager Reggie McKenzie said. "But, I alluded to earlier in the offseason that Gabe is one of the guys I want to get locked up."
That could happen later this offseason, or further into training camp. Despite paying Carr an NFL-record $25 million in 2017, his contract is structured in such a way that there's room for another offseason extension. That was important for Carr, that the Raiders can sign other members of this young core.
"We figured out a way to do it," Carr said, "so that we have the opportunity to sign the other guys that I think are important to this organization."
The Raiders have roughly $18 million in salary cap space after the Carr deal. Some of that is earmarked for the team's top three draft picks, which remain unsigned to this point. A large sum could go to Jackson as incentive to sign up early, well before he's eligible to hit the unrestricted free agency.
The offensive guard market is booming, with bigger deals going to a position group generally lower than other spots on the offensive line. The Raiders contributed to that inflation in 2016, signing left guard Kelechi Osemele to a five-year, $58.5 deal with $25.4 million in guarantees.
Osemele is one of eight guards with contracts worth $40 million or more, a list that includes two right guards. Jackson played left guard – the more valued position – until Osemele showed up. He moved to the right without complaint.
Jackson thrived there as well. He didn't allow a sack in 2016, according to analytics site Pro Football Focus, with 27 quarterback pressures in 735 pass-blocking snaps. Jackson has been a strong run blocker as a pro, where he has started 44 games in three NFL seasons.
Finding proper value to entice Jackson to sign while remaining on budget is McKenzie's next task, trying to keep a valuable offensive lineman in place for years to come.
Carr plans to spread new wealth after Raiders contract extension
Carr plans to spread new wealth after Raiders contract extension
ALAMEDA – Derek Carr isn't one for extravagance. The low-key Raiders quarterback already has some nice cars, a house and some luxury items to his name, but signing a $125 million contract extension Friday morning won't prompt a spending spree.
Cornerback Sean Smith suggested he get a Bugatti. That's a $1 million car.
"Yeah," Carr said with a smirk. "That's not going to happen."
That isn't the 26-year old's style. Carr had a his own plan after signing on the dotted line.
"I've been eating clean," Carr said. "I'll probably get Chick-fil-A."
That makes sense. This is a guy who celebrated his first NFL victory with a trip through a Carl's Jr. drive-in.
There will be other purchases. His wife Heather will get something nice in the near future. His family, especially Heather and sons Dallas and Deker, will be taken care of for life.
After all that, Carr plans to spread the wealth.
"The exciting thing for me moneywise, honestly, is this money is going to help a lot of people," Carr said. "I'm very thankful to have it, that it's in our hands because it's going to help people. Not only in this country, but in a lot of countries around the world. That's what's exciting to me."
Carr and former Raiders running back Latavius Murray took a missionary trip to Haiti, an impoverished nation had a profound impact on the star quarterback.
"I've been down to Haiti and I've seen some of those struggles that they have and the kids there, and my heart just… I cry sometimes thinking about it," Carr said. "So, just knowing that we can go down there and make a difference and help, those are the kind of things that the money makes me kind of like, 'Oh my gosh.' Because now we can really do some things to help a lot of people."
He plans to support those in that area, in addition to global and domestic charities he has been involved with over the years. Don't expect a press release accompanying every donation. Carr would rather keep those decisions private.
"I'm going to do my best to make sure no one knows what we do with it," Carr said. "I'll just say this, I can assure you that it's going to help a lot of people. I'm not stingy. My business manager will probably be on me saying, 'Hey man, that's enough.' I won't get into when, how or why. It's not all about that for me. It's about making a difference. That's what's exciting for me is that we'll be able to do that."

The bf left today. I drove him to airport this morning…only to come back to a quiet house. Ok so maybe I sort of, kind of miss him.
Don't tell him!
Kidding, after 5 years it is nice to miss someone who can sometimes drive you totally and utterly crazy.
But I must say he is a silly goose, and I do love him dearly. Plus I have to keep him around to take pictures of me for you guys right?
Hehehe…thanks for reading!

I am only posting these again because someone wanted to see them as a pair. They are now blocked and should be dry so one Christmas present (the less exciting one for 6 yr old grandson) is done. He is so funny. I talked to him on my bday Saturday and told him to start making a list for Christmas and have his mom send it to me. He said, "I want a video game and a phone, a REAL one." I asked him if he'd talked to his parents about it and he said they said yes, which I know is bologna! They must have tried to pacify him somewhere down the road with a fake phone. lol His father said, "h*** no!" and his mom said he is a ham and he wants a handheld to play video games on. This is Jackson on his first day of first grade. Children and grandchildren can be hilarious that's for sure.
Wonderful lookiing socks (both of them) and a very good-looking grandson. I'll bet first grade is a great source of stories! Good for you for makng such an excellant start on Christmas presents.
Jackson must be a real character They can be so humorous! The socks are great, thanks for posting the pair.
Lovely boy, and funny too! Also, you block socks?
Yes, I block my socks, but usually only those given as gifts. They lay so nice and flat that way.
Jackson is his dad through and through and my son, who will be 40 in about 3 weeks was no end of a source of trouble. He teased his little sister unmercilously, and always seemed to find something to joke about. He told us once he didn't need shots, (I had to lay on top of him when he was 10 and sliced his hand open from a jack knife he and his best friend were playing with as he was afraid of needles) that when he grew up he wouldn't have anyone bossing him around (he found out that was a lie pretty quick) and when he grew up my little hippie boy followed the Grateful Dead around for awhile. God Bless him, he is now a senior account executive for an advertising firm (but he still has that pesky boss! lololol)
Excellent socks. If someone has an old phone that's no longer used as a phone, you little man might enjoy it. My son gave me an old EVO that I've been playing games on. It doesn't work as a phone (not activated) but the games and internet work fine. The problem for me now is that I have a new one that will be activated, probably Friday. Your GS wouldn't need the 2nd one I'm guessing.
My feet block my socks. I might block them for a gift. Usually whoever they're for is around to try them on when they're done and will wear them home. :rofl:
Thanks for sharing that story nonny, and the photo of his lovely finished socks. He sounds like a pistol! First grade is such a wonderful time with kids... :muah:
Congratulations on a wonderful pair of socks for that handsome little man!
Nice story, socks, and grandson!

Traffic Stop Leads To Drug Bust
Published January 9th, 2012
Loading Video...
It started as a simple traffic stop, but ended up as a drug bust.
After unscrewing panels and removing a makeshift shelf inside a van, Alachua County Sheriff's officers found what they were looking for: more than 10 pounds of marijuana hidden in a secret compartment.
Deputies said they could smell the marijuana when they first pulled over three men for tailgating another vehicle heading south on I-75 on Friday.
Deputies also found more than four thousand dollars in cash.
Diosdado Cabello, Didier Castro, and Omar Ortega are charged with possession with intent to distribute.
The men told officers they were farmers, traveling from Kentucky to Miami.
They said they did not own the van and didn't know the drugs were there.

5 Defensive Stock Short-Squeeze Plays - 13699 views
BALTIMORE (Stockpickr) -- Is it time to get defensive with your portfolio? If trailing returns for the last quarter are any indication, it is.
That's because the last few months have brought outsized returns from traditionally defensive industries -- groups such as health care, utilities and consumer staples. There are a few reasons why that's the case right now. Most significantly, inflationary headwinds and concerns over the health of the economy are making investors skittish about risk assets -- instead, they're flocking to "safer" income generation instruments. It's that behavior that's creating a potential short-squeeze opportunity right now.
More From Stockpickr
A short squeeze is the buying frenzy that ensues when a heavily shorted stock starts to look attractive again to investors, causing short-sellers to cover their positions -- and share price to skyrocket. One of the best indicators of just how high a short-squeezed stock could go is the short interest ratio, which divides shares short by average daily trading volume in order to get a ballpark estimate of the number of days it would take for short-sellers to cover their positions. The higher the short ratio, the higher the potential profits when the shorts get squeezed.
Naturally, these plays aren't without their blemishes -- there's a reason that these stocks are being heavily shorted. But for investors looking for exposure to a speculative play with a beefier risk/reward tradeoff, these could be powerful upside plays for the coming year.
There are plenty of reasons why stocks in defensive industries may be shorted -- but because they're fundamentally driven investment stories, mispricing and overzealous shorts often shake themselves out quickly. That's why we're looking at five defensive short squeeze opportunities this week.
With that, here's a look at defensive stocks with short squeeze potential this summer.
Canada-based energy generation utility TransAlta (TAC) is a good example of an income-generation play that's being shorted heavily right now. With a short interest ratio of 21.6, it would take short-sellers more than a month to unwind their bets against TransAlta at current volume levels.
But there's reason to bet on shares of this generation stock. One of the most significant is TransAlta's sizable 5.51% dividend yield, a payout that the company is able to meet without too much of a struggle.

Normally, inflationary environments discount securities that pay income -- but that's not the case for TransAlta. Because this stock is a power generation play, its income should increase lock in step with commodity prices. Because the firm's margins are within the high single digits, incremental increases in energy costs should realistically have an outsized impact on the firm's bottom line.
That's particularly true if an attractive trading environment helps TransAlta's energy trading business increase profitability. While acquisition-fuelled debt and regulation risks do factor into this stock's attractiveness, I suspect that shorts are overblown.
TransAlta, one of TheStreet Ratings'top-rated independent power producer stocks, is also one of the highest-yielding utility stocks.
Atmos Energy
While energy prices have been on the rise, one commodity that's languished has been natural gas. As a result, investors have largely ignored natural gas-related stocks -- or outright shorted them. But in the energy market, rising tides lift all ships, and nat gas could be due for a drive higher.
That's because rising prices in alternatives such as oil make natural gas a more attractive option -- attractive enough to overcome switching costs that previously made nat gas economically unviable.
That factor should bode well for distributors like Atmos Energy (ATO). Atmos is largely insulated from commodity price movements thanks to automated rate filings that diminish regulatory risks and ensure that the company is compensated for delivering energy, not for the ebb and flow of the market.
With a very efficient cost structure and one of the largest natural gas pipeline holdings in the country, Atmos should be well-suited to benefit from an increase in natgas consumption.
A 3.93% dividend yield should help to sway investors to shares as well -- the company has a history of dividend rate increases and more than 100 consecutive payouts to shareholders under its belt. Atmos is one of the highest-yielding gas and utility stocks.
Weis Markets
In the grocery game, Weis Markets (WMK) is far from the best in the breed. This stock doesn't offer investors an economic moat, an attractive niche or any protection from the inflationary prices that are pushing investors to defensive stocks in the first place.
But even though Weis isn't the most attractive grocery play right now, its absurd short interest of 30.1 is making it worth watching right now.
That's because while Weis is nothing special, it's still a reasonably high-performing firm with an impressive 99-year track record. While Weis is late to the game on the kinds of store renovations that attract high-dollar consumers, the chain has also been reluctant to spend money on expensive expansion efforts, even in the height of the real estate boom. That's helped the company maintain an enviable, debt-free balance sheet that makes the low margins of the grocery business seem somewhat more impressive.
A growing private label business has helped to grow the firm's top line throughout the recession, as has the value proposition that the firm is offering consumers. As fundamentals continue to get rosier, expect frustrated short-sellers to look for less attractive businesses.
Weis, one of TheStreet Ratings' top-rated food and staples stocks, is one of the 20 highest-yielding retail stocks.
C.R. Bard
C.R. Bard's (BCR) shorts have been under siege in 2011 as this medical device stock continues to deliver solid performance numbers to Wall Street. All told, shares of the firm have rallied more than 17.6% year-to-date, vs. just 7.9% returns from the S&P 500. Nevertheless, a short ratio of 15.5 means that a considerable chunk of investors are short C.R. Bard right now.
As a medical device maker, C.R. Bard has been continually improving its positioning in a highly competitive market. From a one-trick pony years ago, today's firm is a major player in a number of attractive niches that provide ample opportunities for sales growth as C.R. Bard carves out increasing chunks of its markets.
Key to C.R. Bard's growth strategy is the fact that around 90% of revenue comes from deep-margin consumable products that are recurring in nature. As a result, the company is able to generate ample cash to cover its obligations.
With increased focus on improving shareholder value this year, it'll be interesting to see how a continuation of the 2011 rally in Bard plays out for short-sellers' abilities to stay in the stock.
C.R. Bard, one of TheStreet Ratings' top-rated health care equipment stocks, shows up on a recent list of Top Health Care Stocks for an Ailing Portfolio.
Another heavily shorted medical stock is RedMed (RMD), a $5 billion medical device firm that develops products that treat breathing disorders. Specifically, ResMed is one of the leaders in developing solutions for sleep apnea patients, a market that the firm took from its competitors by bringing superior devices to market.
That competition is far from conceding RedMed's success, however. With well-funded rivals trying to reclaim ResMed's share of the sleep apnea treatment market, expect battles to be hard won.

Perhaps just not as hard won as the short-seller believe. With a short ratio of 11.9, it would take more than two weeks for shorts to cover their positions at current volume levels. Strong margins and a net cash position should help fuel the firm's moves into new markets going forward.

With the success of computer viruses like Slammer, security issues are now a top priority for Windows system administrators, right alongside day-to-day tasks such as setting up accounts and managing performance. If you use Windows 2003 Server at a small to medium-sized organization, or use Microsoft's Small Business Server, this thorough yet concise tutorial offers the hands-on advice you need for securing your network.Modern network operating systems include bundled services that range from traditional file and print sharing and Internet services to authentication, directory and remote access services each a potential security vulnerability as well as a capability. Securing Windows Server 2003 shows you how to put Windows security tools to work, and how to run the server's subsystems to protect users and resources. But that's just the beginning.Network security needs to be well thought-out, not treated as a fire drill when a threat occurs. This book focuses primarily on ways to plan and implement a secure operating environment. Microsoft security veteran Mike Danseglio uses real-world examples to show you how various security concepts relate to your own system, including:
Mike Danseglio is a Program Manager in the Security Solutions group at Microsoft Corporation. He has worked in the areas of security and technology for the last decade. He holds several technical certifications including MCSE and CISSP. His work includes developing and teaching extensive security training on topics including cryptography, security technology, and attacks and countermeasures. His recent projects include writing security documentation for Windows XP and the Windows Server 2003 family as well as working on a host of white papers and articles. He also works on security feature development for Microsoft Windows.

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of Securing Windows Server 2003 is a wandering albatross (Diomedea exulans). Named for its unique flying ability, the wandering albatross covers the Southern hemisphere by wing, landing only to mate and scavenge. In nonbreeding years, it has been known to circumnavigate the globe.The largest of the seabirds, the wandering albatross can achieve a wingspan of almost 3.5 meters and can reach up to 1.35 meters in length. (Females are somewhat smaller than males.) From a distance, the bird appears entirely white, except for its pinkish beak. Viewed up close, however, it has fine black lines on its neck, breast, tail, and wingtips.The wandering albatross can live up to 60 years. It matures at around 12 years of age. The albatross socializes and courts during its adolescent years, then mates for life. During its lifetime, it will breed every two years. Its preferred food and drink include saltwater, cuttlefish, squid, and food scraps cast off from ships.An endangered species, the wandering albatross is threatened by surface longline fishing for tuna. The albatross may ingest baited hooks used in such fishing. Tending to follow sailing ships, the wandering albatross has been the inspiration for much marine folklore and poetry.

Comments about oreilly Securing Windows Server 2003:
The book is very thorough. Mike Danseglio really knows his stuff and he knows how to impart it in a practical and comprehensible way. If you are responsible for a Windows 2003 server then everything you really need to know and implement on a day to day basis is in here. He takes you from a simple description of what security really is and means, to the unspoken and over looked security problems and solutions of DHCP, DNS and IIS and much, much more. This book covers the total nature of creating an environment which maintains an acceptable level of security. It doesn't kid you that you can make any system 100% secure, but it gives you the peace of mind that comes from knowing exactly what your exposure is at the end of your security policy implementation. It takes each physical and programatical security issue of a Windows 2003 environment (though most of the advise could be applied to any computing environment), points out the security loop holes and tells you what your options are for plugging them, from newer ideas like smart cards to good practices, securing your network protocols and using encryption.Some of the book explores the varying options for security implementation on any given security issue, bringing you to the understanding that there is no one right answer and that making a system usable is directly contrary to making it secure, so you have to strike the right balance and be proactive as well as reactive.Conclusion:Read it cover to cover, go through it systematically to secure your entire server or use it as a reference for specific items you want to secure. You won't be sorry you bought this book. If you only buy one Security book this year, make it this one.

Carl Malamud Finds 500,000 Veteran's Social Security Numbers Published in the Congressional Record | UsefulArts.usPII Compliant? 500,000 Veterans Social Security Numbers Published in the Congressional Record
By Dave Wieneke on Nov 11, 2009 in Featured, Privacy/security
Just over a year ago, Carl Malamud, the founder of Public.Resource.org, a non-profit dedicated to making public records available online, did the Department of Defense a big proper.
He noticed that the social security numbers of officers were being printed in the Congressional Record. Hundreds of thousands of them. Since copies of the Congressional Record are available online and in print at libraries throughout the United States, this is a big privacy breach.
As a good citizen, Malamud immediately informed the Defense Departments Inspector General Gordon Heddell; the Government Printing Office, which prints the Congressional Record and publishes it online; and the three major commercial databases that publish online versions of the federal publication: W.S. Hein, LexisNexis and Westlaw.
Remarkably, it took ten months for the complaint to make its way to Defense Departments Privacy Office.
Were at the beginning stages of this, Jenkins said. Were taking this very seriously and aggressively pursuing action. (As if ) When contacted by Stars and Stripes, military officials could not explain why it took nearly a year to address the complaint.
In contrast, LexisNexis and Thomson Reuters Westlaw both removed the data from their services back in 2008. Stars and Stripes found that W.S. Hein, like our federal government, had still not acted.
As today is Veterans Day, heres a tip of the hat to Malamud, who switched gears from making public records publicly available, to helping keep the personal data of those servicing the public, private.
And thanks to Stars and Stripes for holding the feet of non-responsive agencies and licensees to the fire.
Why am I not surprised.

Shouldn't have happened but being realistic about things, soc. security numbers, DLs, names, addresses and phone numbers are all UNFORTUNATELY readily found. The cat has been out of the bag since the dawn of the internet and the invention of Google and search engines.
What difference does it make really, in terms of id theft, if someone gets a soc. security number or a DL number? Presently, FTC Red Lock Rules have all manner of small businesses and professionals collecting DLs on all their customers--- anyone think small business can keep those things securely? I don't.
Smart identity thieves will know how to go about getting SS #'s but why hand out 500,000 #'s to the not so smart ones? I wonder how many people Okay'd this breach before it actually got on the Internet - there were probably many who could have spoken up and said this was a bad idea.

The duo in white 'Abbas-Mustan' is all geared up with their mammoth sparkling venture with multi stars 'Players'. The music of the film album has been released and doing great at the music stand. The music launch party was arranged to introduce the film lavishly. This was the first of its kind music launch taken place in Bollywood history. The makers, Burmawala (Abbas-Mustan themselves), made it extraordinary lush to open the eyeballs of the competitors and the filmgoers. And yes, they succeeded in their marvelous effort.
The grand music launch of the chic flick, 'Players' took place with the leading stars of the movie in Mumbai. Abhishek Bachchan, Sonam Kapoor, Bipasha Basu came to attend the event and they performed the eye-pleasing and eye-opening stunts there.
Their entry on the stage was simply breath-arrestingly grandiose – as they hit the space with swanky cars, heavy bikes, fire in the background and blah blah to make the event memorable forever.
The other star cast also came to attend the grand event like Bobby Deol, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Sikander Kher. The media was in full attendance there. The stars chipped in their views on the film and their characters. The whole stars cast was pretty happy for the film and above all the way the music launch was organized, it opened their eyes as well. It looked as if some Hollywood launch was being held rather the Hollywood movies and music too are not launched lavishly as Abbas-Mustan did for Players.
Abhishek Bachchan, who is playing the leading protagonist of the film, says that he has never ever been a part of such lavish music launch in his career and he also describes that he has even not heard about this kind of grand event before in his life.
Players is being rated as the biggest flick of Abbas-Mustan's career.
