Pittsburgh vs. Dayton (12-23-06)
Entering his senior season at Pitt, All-America candidate Sam Young is a talented, creative scorer and rebounder who possesses an umatched desire to improve. A 2007-08 All-Big East First Team selection and Big East Most Improved Player award winner, Young continues to amaze fans with his spectacular highlight-reel dunks, logic-defying rebounds and surprising blind-side blocks. A slashing power forward, Young takes advantage of his quickness to score against taller players in the post and utilizes his size and trademark pump fake move to create space on the outside. He is unbelievably athletic, plays good defense and rebounds with aggression. A hard working gym rat, Young continues to add new elements to his game each year. His hobby is improving his game. Prior to his junior year, he worked on his outside jumper then went out and hit 50 percent of his 3-point attempts. The previous season, he worked hard to improve his perimeter ball-handling. This past summer Young attended several NBA camps. Look for Young to put it all together in 2008-09.

Theology After Darwin 3 (RJS)
I am slowly working through a series looking at the impact that the evidence for evolution has on our theology. This series is based on a book of essays, Theology After Darwin (available from amazon UK or, as pointed out by a commenter, a search of Abebooks.com on author = Berry and title = Theology After Darwin will yield a USA-based source for a new copy of the book at a reasonable price (HT PB)). David Fergusson, Professor of Divinity at the University of Edinburgh contributed a chapter to this book entitled Darwin and Providence. In this chapter he outlines what he sees as the four major theological challenges raised by a Darwinian or evolutionary view of creation and discusses how they were dealt with in the latter half of the nineteenth century making connection with our debates and questions today. Today I would like to outline and consider his comments on these four issues: God as Remote from Cosmos, the Loss of Providential Control, The Intensification of the Problem of Evil, and The Threat to Human Significance.

Wall Street rejects Ackman's Herbalife 'death blow'
By Svea Herbst-Bayliss and Ryan Vlastelica
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Billionaire investor William Ackman's latest volley of accusations against Herbalife Ltd on Tuesday missed its mark on Wall Street, with investors sending the stock price soaring 25 percent.
Ackman, who has been battling the California-based nutrition company for 19 months and has a $1 billion bet it will eventually go bust, told 500 people in a New York auditorium - and thousands watching the webcast - that Herbalife is a criminal enterprise that targets minorities, counts nonexistent
customers, and breaks labor laws.
Ackman's $14.7 billion hedge fund Pershing Square Capital Management unveiled its $1 billion short bet against Herbalife in December 2012, calling the company a pyramid scheme where members earn more money from recruiting than by actually selling products to end users.
Herbalife has rejected the claims.
In his three-hour presentation, Ackman said officials are moving too slowly against Herbalife. The Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Trade Commission, and the FBI are among those probing the company's business practices.
With this presentation, which he billed as the most important in his career, he shifted his appeal to investors, saying that by laying out all of the evidence against Herbalife he was giving them a reason to start selling.
Ackman said he hopes to cause the company to collapse and called for it to be shut down. Continuación...

I saw the icon beta tester near avatar. How to get this icon?
Well you can't do it at the moment. There must be a new marketplace and during the beta testing period you must submit some work to the new marketplace. The last chance we got was like half a year ago, maybe a bit more, when photodune was still beta.
There was a yellow sign saying "Beta" in the top-left list near the photodune logo.
Thank you for reply.

Derek Mahon
Poet Details
Derek Mahon is widely regarded as one of the most talented and innovative Irish poets of the late 20th century. Affiliated with the generation of young poets from Northern Ireland who rose to prominence in the 1960s and 1970s, Mahon is best known for illuminating the ordinary aspects of daily life through his skillfully crafted verse. Often working in received forms, Mahon's lucid, sculpted lines incorporate both classical allusion and contemporary life. Critics have compared his poetry to that of such masters as W.H. Auden, the poet and classical scholar Louis MacNeice, and Samuel Beckett. A voluntary exile from his native Belfast, Mahon explores themes of isolation, loneliness, and alienation in his poetry. After studying French at Trinity College, Dublin, Mahon spent a year in France at the Sorbonne; he subsequently lived and worked in cities across the United States and Canada before moving to London to become a journalist. His sixth collection, The Snow Party (1975) offers a pensive look at the lives of outcasts. In "A Refusal to Mourn," Mahon evokes through the use of minute detail the lonely existence of an old man who lives his life on the periphery of society. The most celebrated piece in The Snow Party, "A Disused Shed in Co. Wexford," animates the world of a huge cluster of mushrooms locked in an abandoned country hotel shed. With detached and unsentimental language Mahon symbolizes what Blake Morrison in the Times Literary Supplement called "past human aspirations … striving to be remembered and redeemed."
Mahon's work throughout the 1970s, '80s and '90s was widely praised for the intensity and grimness of its gaze. Focusing on the artist's alienation from society, Mahon continually seemed to question the role of art in a corrupt and modern world. The Hunt by Night (1982), published three years after the release of Mahon's first volume of collected works, focuses in part on the dark, uncivilized side of human nature. The title poem, inspired by 15th-century Florentine artist Paolo Uccello's painting of the same name, emphasizes "the connection between killing and living" in an "unembarrassedly clear-eyed context," describing the "vivid riot of men, dogs and horses" pictured on Uccello's canvas, noted Neil Corcoran in the Times Literary Supplement. Other poems in The Hunt by Night depict humanity as insignificant in the face of time and history, powerless against the inevitable forces and experiences that shape human life. Mahon's series of epistolary verse-novels, The Hudson Letter (1995) and its follow-up The Yellow Book (1997), gather the detritus of a decadent contemporary culture and submit it to the formal pressures of art. Meditations on the often-conflicting realms of nature and art, the books are firmly in the tradition of Louis MacNeice's masterpieces Autumn Journal and Autumn Sequel.
Some critics have faulted Mahon for his tightly controlled poetry, suggesting that his adherence to a highly structured verse form diminishes the power of his words. Morrison proposed that Mahon, at times, has sacrificed "vigour" for the achievement "of greater technical competence." Despite this, the poet's keen eye for detail and honest approach to his subjects have earned him a reputation as a significant figure in 20th-century English literature. As Brian Donnelly asserted, "Mahon is restoring to English poetry qualities which are rare at the present time—conversational narrative combined with wit, intelligence and humour capable of realising a deep seriousness." Mahon offered his own ironic thoughts on the merits of a poet in "The Sea in Winter," an excerpt of which appeared in the Observer: "I ... know nothing / Scribbling on the off-chance, / Darkening the white page, / Cultivating my ignorance."
Mahon experienced something of a late flowering, publishing four collections in just five years in the 2000s. These books, have received a series of accolades and commendations: Harbour Lights (2006), winner of the Irish Times Poetry Now Award; Somewhere the Wave (2007); and Life on Earth (2008), which won another Irish Times Poetry Now Award and was shortlisted for the prestigious Griffin Poetry Prize. Mahon's An Autumn Wind (2010) was praised by Paul Batchelor in the Guardian for its sophistication, technical prowess and willingness to address contemporary themes, including environmental degradation. Batchelor maintained that the book "confirms the triumphant late flowering that began with Harbour Lights and continued in Life on Earth. This body of work forms one of the most significant developments in poetry this century."
Early on, Mahon was perhaps too often praised as a "scrupulous craftsman." Philip Hobsbaum declared in Contemporary Poets that Mahon's is "a poetry that represents a decisive adaptation of Auden and MacNeice, Mahon's two acknowledged masters." He added, "it may well in the end form an oeuvre fit to stand beside theirs in literary history."

Singapores telecoms regulator the Infocomm Development Authority (IDA) is implementing new rules governing the maximum length of time any operator can lock a customer into a contract for fixed, mobile or broadband services. From March 2010, any consumer wishing to renew or sign up to a new contract for any of the above will not be locked into the contract for more than 24 months. Also from March next year, anyone signing a contract term longer than three months and who end their contract before the end of the contract period will no longer have to pay a fixed early termination charge. Instead the IDA is putting in place new rules under which the consumer will see these charges decreased on a month-by-month basis as they serve out their contract. The IDA hopes the new rules will ensure that industry practices in the city-state are more reasonable and fair, and have been prompted by users concerns that contract lengths risk becoming too long and early termination charges excessively high.

I am 53 years old and I have had Botox injections on 5 separate occasions from 5 different board certified doctors hoping that I would see results. I did not. The "eleven" lines between my brows are fine (not deep) therefore I thought Botox would be perfect.
Is it possible that I have antibodies that would prevent me from getting results from Botox? Is there an alternative to Botox that would give me the results I am searching for? Thank you so much for your time and advice!

Reading our scoreboard takes a bit of getting used to. This page will walk through the process in a more detail than the previous page, the basics of curling. The example used is different, but will, I hope, explain what goes on. Olympic level curling on television has the advantage of computerized digital scoreboards. Most curling clubs rely on the hang tag method, it's simple, it needs only one set of numbers representing the ends played, and it works. No computer glitches here.
Before we start the game, the scoreboard is obviously blank. The blue numbers across the middle, 1 through 14 represent the potential points. More than 14 is possible, but incredibly rare, so to conserve space and improve legibility from the far end of the sheet most curling clubs utilize large numbers and letters and quit at 14 or 15.
First end – Yellow scores two points. The hang tag is placed in the yellow row (because they scored the points) under the number 2 (blue row of points in the center). The score is Red – 0, Yellow – 2. The #1 on the hang tag indicates this was the first end.
Second end – Red scores three, a great end for them. The hang tag goes in the red row, over the number 3. The score is Red – 3, Yellow – 2. The #2 on the hang tag indicates the second end
Third end – Yellow scores one. Yellow already has two points from the first end, and took one more in the third end for a total of three. The hang tag goes in the yellow row under their current score of three. It's now a tie game, Red – 3, Yellow – 3.
Fourth end – nobody scores! It's called a "blank end". Red keeps the all important hammer (the last rock to be thrown in the end) and the hang tag is placed somewhere out of the way. We place the hang tag sideways under the word "score", although many clubs hang it all the way at the far right end under the #14. It clearly doesn't count for points.
Fifth end – Yellow steals two. It is called stealing a point when the other team has hammer. Yellow already has three, stole two more for a new total of five. The hang tag goes under the 5. The score is now Red – 3, Yellow – 5.
Sixth end – Yellow steals two more. Yellow already has five, stole two more for a new total of seven. The hang tag goes under the 7. The score is now Red – 3, Yellow – 7. Red, being the good sports that they are, recognize the inevitable and shake hands. Broomstacking commences.
Summary – The total points scored are across the middle. The hang tags and placement represent the ends in which points were scored and how many points. Which ever team scored most recently throws first. The other team has the hammer. The score after six ends is Red – 3, Yellow – 7.
In most league curling we curl eight ends. In competition it's ten ends. An extra end is played to break a tie. Our example stops after six ends.

I bought a match barrel from firedragon for a 92FS, but need to have a locking block installed. Where is a good place to purchase one? Is this a gunsmith repair?

I bought a match barrel from firedragon for a 92FS, but need to have a locking block installed. Where is a good place to purchase one? Is this a gunsmith repair?
Can't help ya on where to buy the block, but removing one should be fairly easy - It just depends. Some people say that theirs come right out. I tried to take mine out, and it would not come out - at least not w/o using a mallet.
Check e-bay - and there is a site where U can order Beretta parts. I am sure someone will post it up for U.
I finally got my locking block to wiggle free with a little effort. Thanks for the help.
ok, great to hear it :)
Go to Beretta's website. They'll send any spare part for your 92. I think they charged me around $8 for a new locking block and retaining pin, and I recieved it quickly.
Try Dave Olhasso at olhasso.com for Beretta parts for the 92/96 and Cougar. I have an extended mag release ordered for my Cougar as the 92/96 Elite II will work in it. Never understood why Beretta made such a short mag release button. The Elite II is much better and would not have cost 1/2 cent more to make in bulk. He has Elite II hammers as well and other items like locking blocks. Orders from him always arrive within 10 days so far. I am still waiting on 4 additional MDS mags from Beretta ordered around the first of May. In fairness they projected a July ship date. Other items will take quite awhile as well is you read their stated lead times. Enjoy your new Beretta.
Brownell's and Midwest Gun Works are authorized Beretta part retailers as well.
U do realize that the original thread was started 5 years ago?
I wasn't paying attention, I do now, thanks.

You are herecontent / Impeachment Vigils September 1, 2006
Impeachment Vigils September 1, 2006
Progressive Democrats of America and After Downing Street encourage you to hold a vigil for impeachment on Friday evening, Sept. 1st, preceded or followed by a meeting to dicuss and plan for Camp Democracy. Enter your event into online system HERE. Search for an event already planned in your area HERE. Here are resources from Camp Democracy.
You can also download and play this new 16-minute video from After Downing Street.
Here's what's happening online the same day:
Starting at noon ET on September 1, 2006, and lasting 24 hours, websites and blogs all across the internet are being asked to replace their front pages with the single word "Impeach" in simple white text on a black background. Here's an example: http://impeachnet.net
Visitors to those sites and blogs will be able to click and link to the sites' usual front pages. But first they will see a word that, standing alone, is as powerful as any word right now: it is banned by our political and media leadership but more popular among citizens and activists than perhaps any other. It is both shocking and welcome. For 24 hours, web surfers and blog readers will see that word first when they visit their favorite sites. In this way, we hope to get the public talking about the one tool guaranteed by the Founders to restore our Constitutional Democracy. Please encourage your favorite websites to take part in this action. If you plan to take part, please let us know here:

Damn, i wanted to be first in line to blog about his impeachment.
gues this will have to do, it is 2:30am, "missed it by that much"
O.k., just like the first time, my people get the blame. Why not go in under the Stars and Stripes like true Americans. Hey, I've been hearing about impeachment for a long time, but I think it's all talk. Nobody seems to have the guts to do it.
It's not just in Boston anymore! Netroots Rocks!!!
Thanks for the link, Yank!
Great video. We were just debating my advocacy of isolationism at my blog;
it was a perfect fit.
---The Bikemessenger
P.S.--"Isolationism" may have a bad name now, but maybe it's time to change that:
In George Hewes' eyewitness account of The Tea Party, painted and coal dusted patriots, tomahawks in hand, did not even know each other's name, just their group leader, as they boarded three ships surrounded by warships. They took special care to see that the tea would be ruined in the water and they went out in boats the next day to batter down tea containers that floated back up to the surface. Onlookers (Liebermans) who tried to salvage tea for personal use got chastised. Gasoline is our price gouged tea. We do it to the Bush Cheney redcoats and we get it done right. Not just impeach, we tell the whole al Q story from the heroin and Stinger missle love affair between the Reagan right wing and Osama in the Iran Contra Days and the deliberate treachery of a White House cabal that knew an attack was coming and savored it so they could justify their preconceived invasion of Iraq. These tea taxing traitors go under the water. AMERICAN REVOLUTION 2 gets it done, coming soon to your favorite country.
Back to skool . .. lots of "newbies" looking for answers . . .
Here in the USA, we have lots of kidz getting back to skool or starting skool . . . this is a HUGE opportunity for outreach programs around college campuses . . . these September 1 Vigils are a great opportunity for these kidz and older kidz to get involved in the Movement.
Here in Wilmington, the community colleges and the university have just started classes this week and already our Peace Meetup and Activist Internet sites are getting slammed with hits . . .
. . . and if our last two Peace Meetup meetings are a sign of things to come, we may have to start looking for a larger venue . . . we are getting to that "standing room only" stage . . . a good problem to have!!! . . .;-)
Put up flyers in the record stores, book stores, bars & clubs, student unions, music stores, etc. Run adverts in the local "Entertainment" weekly mags like "Creative Loafing","Time Out", etc. .. and if you are fortunate enough to have any independent "non-Clear Channel" radio stations (like our WONDERFUL "The Penguin" and "The Bone"), you might have some luck getting your Public Service Announcements (PSAs) on the air . .. same thing with local cable "community access" channels . ..
Remember, kidz, "Be Nice To Newbies" . . . ;-)

UNC-Wilmington "INVOLVEMENT CARNIVAL" a HUGE success!!!
Hey Kidz!!! In just THREE hours, our Wilmington Peace Meetup Group almost DOUBLED our support base at this North Carolina University outreach event!!! The theme of the carnival was "Here are things to do in the area while you are in skool."
The reception of these college kidz was unbelievable. They have caught on to the fact that "things are NOT as they appear" and they are demanding answers. And they have done their homework, too. I loved talking to all the science majors about the "Scholars for 9/11 Truth movement" and all the pre-law kidz about the "Downing Street Memos" and the "Illegal NSA Wiretapping". . . like the man said, "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows" . . .;-)
Even the College Republicans came over to our table . . . and we exchanged contact info about coming to address one of their upcoming meetings!!!! And the young Baptist evangelists next to us even helped us take down our tent and asked about our group meetings and took some of our Peace handouts!!! . . .;-)
We handed out hundreds of tri-folds, pamphets, peace sign buttons (badges for you anglo-philes), and sold a lot of bumper stickers!!!
Unlike other outreach events in the past, we did not have a SINGLE person express hostility/anger at us (i.e. You are traitors to the US and the troops, etc. . . come to think of it, I haven't been spat upon in quite some time now, kidz . . . this is a good thing . . .lol)
The saddest part was the number of alumni/faculty/staff that came over to voice support for our efforts but were actually AFRAID to sign up for our e-mail newsletter . . . for fear of their jobs . . . this is Patriarchal Fascist BULLSHIT!!! WE THE PEOPLE should NEVER have to be afraid to voice our oppinions in THIS Country!!! ESPECIALLY in an academic setting, kidz . .. ;-)
Yup, I'm afraid we may have to start looking for a larger venue for our Peace Meetup meetings . . . a damn good problem to have, kidz!!! . . . ;-)
Think globally, act locally, kidz . .. and Older Kidz look after the younger kidz because the "Grown-Ups" are all insane!!! . . . ;-)

Look for a MILLION ON THE MALL.....that's what it will take. Partisan messages, official tee shirts, pre-printed signs -- all those are passe. It's time for WE THE PEOPLE to reclaim this democracy and it needs to happen now!
The crimes for impeachment have been identified and there is a constant source of new ones every day, but most of congress is not taking action even though it is their duty. These congressmen and congresswomen are standing in the way of justice. Since Impeachment is just removal from office and does not require them to face the crimes, a civil suit is what is in order.
I propose that rather than spending the raised money on ads, use it to sue the lot of them. File suit against Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield, Rice, Wolfowitz, Bolton and the rest of the administration. Name those in the House of Representatives that are refusing to hear articles of impeachment as co-conspirators to the crimes (they are!). You will be surprised at how many decide to 'do the right thing' and start the impeachment procedings. It will also be hard to campaign while being in a law suit. If they don't uphold the law and impeach the president, we don't want them in office (Democrat or Republican).

It is unreal how only 20 non-American Nationals predominately Muslim men from Middle Eastern Countries, were able to disrupt and seriously disturb the greatest nation on earth. The towers feel and we are going to war with a militia of sorts who's leader was trained and funded by yours truly the C.I.A and has created the largest terrorist network in history with offices in over 50 Countries. The primary reason stated for the attack of 911 was our government had supported the main enemy of the majority of Nations in the Middle East: Israel. Now if anything the poetical for future attacks has increased significantly since mourners are more likely to want revenge. We have reached a fork in the road: we must either completely destroy our enemy who could be several hundred thousands out of a billion potentials by now with the fact that we currently maintain slippery boarders or we must befriend and make peace with them. If we make peace the resolve of the Israeli-Palestinian issues are crucial.

Earlier today TSN's own NHL insider Bob McKenzie broke the news that the Carolina Hurricanes claimed former Philadelphia Flyers forward Andreas Nodl off of waivers. Nodl tallied a total of 1-point (1 A) in 12-games played this season for the Orange & Black, and has a +/- rating of minus-1.
Last night's loss is a perfect example of how the Flyers manage to beat themselves out of a comeback. The chances are there and we've got the talent to capitalize. But it's our own depressing incompetence that anchors our success to the seabed of the loss column. It's getting old. Fast. No more excuses.
Before last night, Carolina was on a three game losing streak that began with the Flyers exactly one week ago today. Yesterday they managed to break the skid with a win over the Leafs. Nevertheless, Carolina seems to be a squad our Flyers have had more success against than not. Especially this season, with the series record standing at 2 - 0. The 'Canes know this and look to soak in some payback tonight.
One thing each and every male on this planet can relate to is an injury to his "yogurt factory." We've seen videos on the internet hilariously showing a man taking a shot to the chones from his child's swung wiffle ball bat. But it's not always fun and games.

Writing left handed
Tom Gilb lent me a book about Leonardo Da Vinci a few months ago. Inspired by the great artist's ambidexterity (and something I read in Drive by Dan Pink) I've been learning to write left-handed (I'm right handed, ooops I wrote write there at first). At first I practised my alphabet with separated letters. Then with joined up letters. And more and more recently, with joined up words. It's starting to actually look like writing, and feel smooth when I write.

I'm watching President Obama deliver his victory speech and I am distraught.
He hasn't once mentioned Our Great White Hope, the one with more than one 100% per cent on his Form IIC Mid-Year Report, the one who can attack world greats by telling them they failed to get their O-Levels, Dr Franco Debono, with an office in Valletta and room for a pony.In fact, by the time I wrote the above, Obama had wrapped it up and there was no mention of Debono.
This is the end of civilisation as we know it, because now Joseph Muscat will have to join Debono and launch an all-out attack on Obama.
The next move, of course, will be for Mario Vella and Lino Spiteri to write a couple of deep columns lambasting Obama for ignoring the intellectual Titan in our midst, Debono The Supreme Intellect, He Who Gives Shakespeare English Lessons.
We will then see an unprecedented move by the Supreme Court, as a result of which Debono will be invested with audience rights before that august institution to enable him to deliver a stirring speech about how he singlehandedly dragged Malta's criminal system into the 21st Century. Obama having been struck dumb by Debono's oratory will resign, Congress already having amended the Constitution to allow a village lawyer from Ghaxaq to become the world's most powerful man
Debono will then sweep into the White House and nuke Austin Gatt and Manwel Delia. The buses will start to run on time and Boris Johnson will be made President of Malta for life.

About Me Maker
Takes an interesting approach to teaching penetration testing. The book instructs the user to create vulnerable virtual machines using mostly free versions of software as targets. The problem is that some of the versions are old Windows versions (XP, etc.) and nowadays it appears that you cannot even run a virtual XP instance w/o an authentication service set up by Microsoft. In the past, this was done for up to 30 days for a trial, but the service no longer exists at Microsoft and therefore you cannot set up the target. This in turn limits the usefulness of the book and it was only published in May '14.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie apologized today for not being "clear enough" in recent discussions of same-sex marriage and the struggles for racial equality.
Bob Jordan, our Gannett correspondent in Trenton, reports that the uproar over Christie's comments reached far enough to draw Georgia civil rights leader John Lewis to Trenton this week to scold the Republican governor.
Christie, who opposes gay marriage, last week urged proponents of gay marriage to support putting the matter on the ballot. "People would have been happy to have a referendum on civil rights rather than fighting and dying in the streets in the South," he said.
Lewis and others have said the comment showed an insensitivity to the difficulty advancing such a question in racially divided states 50 years ago, Jordan reports.
Christie, on his monthly Ask the Governor radio program, said his comments were misinterpreted but said that was his fault for failing to communicate clearly.
Christie said he meant to underscore that gay marriage supporters should take advantage of the referendum option if they believe enough people would vote for it. Christie repeated his promise to veto a same-sex marriage bill if it reaches his desk.

Ok so after a little searching and all i made it back to ford and i guess they answered my question better than i could find on the internet. on my 2008 ford focus it has the TPMS, AdvancTrac Traction Control( i didn't think they installed this on a FWD car ) but after about 45 mins sitting with the service advisor he couldn't give me an answer other than the TPMS wouldn't put the car in limp mode then he pulls my vin and after searching the data base he goes "Huh, this car has advance trac traction control and if the tires were used they have to be within 1/4" difference in total circumference between all 4 tires measured at the center of the tire or the car would think the car was spinning and activate the traction control which would put the car in limp mode to try and regain traction(which would cause the lack of power).
So instead of hit and missing i sold the rims and tires and will just look for a set of new ones and be done with it
If i would have known about all the little things that cause problems i would have just bought a different style of car this one is really starting to annoy me

WASHINGTON — Two congressmen are working to put the brakes
on elimination of the first-month purchase option for power
wheelchairs through a sign-on letter, but there is less than two
weeks to generate support.
Reps. Jim Langevin, D-R.I., co-chair of the Bipartisan
Disabilities Caucus, and Glenn Thompson, R-Pa., are leading the
congressional charge to delay elimination of the option for a year.
Mandated under the health care reform law, the measure currently
stands to be implemented Jan. 1, 2011.
The target date for the congressional letter, to be sent to the
chairmen and ranking members of the House Ways and Means and
Commerce committees, is Friday, Sept. 17.
"The industry needs to remain focused on reaching out to
legislators to educate them on why a delay in implementation is
necessary in order to preserve access to these products and
services and local jobs," said Seth Johnson, vice president of
government affairs for Exeter, Pa.-based Pride Mobility Products.
"We now have a letter to formally quantify the level of support for
the delay in the House, and a similar letter is expected to be
circulated in the Senate soon."
With elimination of the purchase option, mobility providers
would have to wait for 13 months before being fully compensated by
Medicare for a standard PWC (complex rehab chairs are exempt).
Payment in months one-three would be 15 percent of the purchase
price and 6 percent in the remaining 10 months. Hamstrung by the
floundering economy, which has basically caused financing to dry
up, most providers cannot make the sizeable cash outlay upfront
that a power wheelchair demands.
Without a delay, Langevin and Thompson point out, "this policy
will create significant access and quality-of-care issues as
providers of this equipment either struggle to make the significant
changes to their business model to adapt to a new payment model
that has the costs front-loaded with reimbursements from Medicare
spread over 13 months — or simply go out of business."
A one-year delay would allow providers to build up their rental
fleets and transition to the new system, the representatives
"Delaying implementation of this provision for one year will
give power wheelchair providers a much-needed transition period to
secure additional financing and adjust their business models so
that consumers will not see interruptions or reductions in access
to services," reads their letter to colleagues about the
The letter suggests the delay, estimated to cost less than $50
million, could be paid for by a 1 percent reduction to the Consumer
Price Index update to standard PWCs. Some stakeholders believe such
a delay might even be supported by CMS.
"We believe CMS is also open to a delay so they can make the
changes that are needed to implement this plan, and in a way that
is not going to jeopardize beneficiary access," Johnson told
HomeCare earlier. He said Friday the hope is for the delay
language to be inserted in legislation prior to Congress'
Johnson said a Medicare doc fix bill, which would remedy a steep
cut in physician reimbursement, is the primary vehicle that has
been identified for inclusion of the delay language, "but we have
been told there will be other opportunities as well."
One of the other opportunities, he said, could be what is known
as the "extenders bill," which covers certain tax provisions set to
expire this year and for which there is broad bipartisan support to
extend. That bill must be passed by Sept. 30.
Johnson said stakeholders including the American Association for
Homecare are actively courting not only providers but also
consumers and clinicians and urging them to educate their
representatives on the issue.
Already, several advocacy organizations have voiced support for
the delay, including the American Association of People with
Disabilities, Association of Programs for Rural Independent Living,
National Council on Independent Living, National Spinal Cord Injury
Association, Paralyzed Veterans of America and the United Spinal

The Fix
by Michael Massing
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Michael Massing was a MacArthur Fellow in 1992, writing about how the US Drug War didn't prevent drug addiction.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0684809605, Hardcover)"When, back in 1988, the New York Review of Books sent me to Columbia to write about the Latin American cocaine trade," notes Michael Massing, a contributing editor of the Columbia Journalism Review and 1992 recipient of a MacArthur "genius" grant, "I had little notion that the issue of drugs would engross me for so many years." The "War on Drugs," arguably, has been the United States' most futile and expensive social campaign. In 1998, the federal drug budget was more than $17 billion--over ten times its 1981 allocation--and yet the corresponding population of drug offenders in the nation's state and federal prisons has increased tenfold within that same period. What to do?
The Fix makes a case for the return of the community-based drug treatment clinic model that was a cornerstone of U.S. drug policy under Richard Nixon. While Nixon's personal distaste for illegal drugs may have been most evident in his decision to ignore evidence indicating that marijuana use did not lead irreparably to harder drugs, his pragmatism helped him recognize that the problem of narcotics was far more cost-effectively approached as a health issue rather than one strictly of law enforcement. In a narrative that alternates between descriptions of a drug-ridden neighborhood in Harlem and policy makers in the nation's capital, Massing compellingly argues that the most effective battle against addiction is the creation and maintenance of a comprehensive national treatment system. --Patrizia DiLucchio

any pics or reviews of this model ?
I owned this model briefly. Not impressed at all. Bezel function was too loose and it did not match the watch aesthetically speaking. This is certainly one of the "dogs" of the Sinn line-up in my opinion.Originally Posted by Pureslab
Rolex Sub-C 116610
Tag Heuer AquaRacer Chrono CAF1110
Jaguar XF 2010
The dial is quartered, and the bezel is divided into six sections ... I have always felt a bezel with emphasized numbers at 15, 30 and 45 would have fitted the dial more harmoniously.Originally Posted by pugridiron
Martin ("Crusader")
Really? sorry to hear that. I was considering this model for the future, but now I will have to think twice about it. Does the bezel have the firm dry click of the Tutima FX model bezels or is it different mechanism?Originally Posted by pugridiron
On the one I handled in the Sinn showroom, the clicking mechanism (bi-directional, of course, as it should be for an aviation watch) was decidedly not firm, alas.
Martin ("Crusader")
It's always disappointing to me when a rotating bezel doesn't match my expectations. The bezel on my EZM2, while firm, doesn't approach the quality build or feel of Breitling, Omega, or Rolex. Of course those brands cost a lot more, but the bezel on my Precista PRS-14 is significantly better than the Sinn, and arguably as good as the afore mentioned higher end brands. I think it's inexcusable for a brand charging $1K or more for a dive watch not to use bezels with 120 clicks. That's the one nit I have with the EZM2.
Wear what you like.
I'm a bit late. Only a quick pic with my crappy digicam. When I bought this watch roughly one year ago, I was excited at first about the sweet bright white dial and hands. But then it sort of looked strange (at least to me) on my wrist, as I was mostly a EZM series user. Furthermore, as others pointed out, the bezel falls a bit short in comparison to EZM3/EZM2. Lume is also not nearly as brite as on the EZM series, because (I guess) the 657 uses white lume. It seems to last all night, although it gets quite dim.Originally Posted by Pureslab
Anyway, after sitting idle in the box for almost one year, only taken out a few times and put back again, I finally started wearing it. I must admit that it has grown on me. The dial markers really stand out in low light conditions. The bezel has a controversial design, but I have seen on the Sinn website that they have some new bezel design now for the 657, which sort of resembles the EZM1 layout.
As you can see, I enjoy wearing mine on a NATO, which goes great with this kind of watch. It also looks very pleasing on a green NATO, BTW, because the white lume and the green strap go well together.
A new bezel design on the Sinn website?Originally Posted by ferdinand
This is the picture from the Sinn online catalog, and it looks the same to me:
The prototype had a different bezel design, but that was changed for the production model.
Can you direct us to the picture of the new bezel design?
Martin ("Crusader")
This is most interesting, Martin!Originally Posted by Crusader
The picture I've seen on www.sinn.de is this:
Different links:
I think I know the explanation now! When you go to www.sinn.de, and then go directly to the 657, you get the picture with the well known bezel layout. When you browse through the watches using the small forward/back buttons, however, you are going to see this page instead:
Note the different ref. number: 657.010, whereas the other one has 657.020.
I wonder whether this is a bug on the website or the 657 is actually available with two different bezel layouts. :-S
Thanks, ferdinand.
The bezel with the little index marks underneath the numerals is the one used in intial prototype pictures ... at the time, the description contained the caution that the bezel design was not yet finalized.
The design is derived from a standard cockpit clock bezel, and it is also used by Damasko. Sinn probably thought it prudent to match the font on the bezel to the numerals on the dial for the full-scale production of the 657.
AFAIK the prototype bezel is not available from Sinn. According to Sinn's numbering logic, xxx.020 could denote a black version (it does so on the 656 and 856), but I am not aware of a black 657.
Still, I cannot help but thinking that for the 657, a bezel with numerals only at 15, 30 and 45 (instead at multiples of 10) would have given a more harmonious match with the dial layout. As it is, the dial is divided into four cardinal points, and the bezel in six.

UPDATE 3-Bunge 2nd-qtr profit up on agribusiness results, shares rally
(Adds analyst comment, updates stock price)
By Karl Plume
July 28 (Reuters) - Bunge Ltd shares surged on Thursday after the U.S. grain trader said quarterly profit jumped despite volatile grain markets and maintained its higher full-year earnings forecast.
Strong results from its agribusiness unit, the company's largest revenue driver, boosted results. But the company also warned of weakening margins in Brazil and Argentina due to smaller crops and lower prices.
After posting a 51-percent profit rise in the second quarter, the White Plains, New-York-based company said second-half earnings would be weighted toward the fourth quarter, when crops in the Northern Hemisphere are harvested.
"Overall, we continue to expect to grow earnings in 2016," said Bunge Chief Financial Officer Drew Burke.
"However, in the near term, slow farmer selling in Brazil and Argentina, due to smaller than expected crops and lower prices, are negatively impacting margins. We also expect the mark-to-market gains we benefited from in the second quarter to largely reverse in the third quarter," he said.
Bunge had warned of second-quarter headwinds due to smaller-than-expected harvests in South America, home to many of its elevators and processing plants. Excessive rain in Argentina and severe drought in Brazil reduced yields, prompting farmers there to hoard more of their crops than grain traders had anticipated.
The South American crop shortfall, however, has raised demand for shipments from the United States, where rivals Archer Daniels Midland and privately held Cargill have a stronger presence. Continuación...

TAIPEI – Taiwan's police have launched an investigation into a report that gamblers are betting tens of millions of New Taiwan dollars on the life expectancy of terminally ill cancer patients.
The investigation comes after the Taipei-based Next magazine claimed that gamblers — including the families and doctors of cancer sufferers — in the central city of Taichung are placing bets as high as NT$34.5 million ($117,000) on when patients will die.
The report describes a rampant new trend served by betting stations in disguised as nonprofit organizations, where punters are paid three times their bets if the patients targeted die between one and six months of a prediction.
"We've been looking at the media report," a Taichung police officer said Tuesday.
Punters are allowed to visit cancer patients before placing their bets, which start at a minimum of NT$70 ($2.40), and lose out to the bookies if their selected patients die within a month, according to the magazine. The expose also identifies one road with more than 10 betting shops that is now known as "death gambling street."

Thank you :) The scars don't look bad at all, but they're raised so it's easy to feel them. I don't know if that's because my scars tend to keloid or not READ COMMENT
Yes I think you're right. All the weight used to be spread out, and now it's all up in one place which just makes them feel heavier, but I think I've gotten used to it :) READ COMMENT

Thank you so much, I'm still a little worried I won't be happy when they're completely settled but I suppose I could always get an implant later if I want to. READ COMMENT

Ask a Dentist. Get Answers to Your Dental Questions.
Also, I have had much anxiety over this and am wondering if this could prevent it from healing faster? I am just anxious, have no patience (although I need to) and I guess I was expecting it to completely be gone after the root canal.....
I know this is not realistic and I appreciate any and all feedback. My dentist and Endo said it could be a couple of weeks or even months before it fully heals itself.
Thanks for your input and time!
Thank You very much Dr. Chen. You have been very helpful in alleviating some of my anxiety!
Dr. Chen,
I have full feeling back in the area, however, now I get a "burning" sensation that I never had before that is uncomfortable. Is this a good thing? It really comes and goes...I don't feel it all the time - sometimes I feel back to 99% normal. The tingling also went away for the most part (just a little now and then)....now it's just the burning in the corner of my mouth and 1/2 inch near my chin/jawline. I hope this means it's healing! It's been about 4 weeks since my root canal. Is this a good sign?
The location is the nerve bundle under tooth #31....extent of damage from infection is unknown. Thanks so much for your kind and informative responses. I do feel that it is getting better 12 weeks in...sometimes I think I don't feel the tingling/burning too much (or it doesn't bother me much - just slightly), then other days it's worse (and always when I'm more stressed - I have a history of anxiety issues, which I take periodic medication for and recently discovered that I have gastritis, due to stress, which is extremely painful). Needless to say, this doesn't help the healing process!!
I still have a temp filling in this tooth....what are the consequences if I get the temp crown placed in January? Is that too long? Reason being is that I have bite issues, clenching, etc., and thought I would wait for it to heal longer. I have it scheduled for October, but have some issues with getting it done since the nerve is still symptomatic.
Thanks again in advance for your professional input!
I had my root canal done approx 4 1/2 mos. ago and 1 week ago I've had the crown prep done and am now awaiting my final restoration next week. I still have some periodic tingling/burning sensation on the corner of my lip and sometimes feels like it's burning "in" the tooth, but appears to be less often (once/twice a week) - seems like the sensations move around somewhat. Post x-ray 2 months ago appears to be fine. I've now noticed that I have a slight sore throat after the crown prep (not everyday though). What could that be from? Could it be that the infection could have affected my wisdom tooth (horizontally impacted) or am I just a hypochondriac? I've never felt this until the crown prep.....
My last question, I promise! After all of this pain and aggravation to tooth #31 (root canal, inflammation of the nerve bundle, etc.), the tooth was shaved down 5 months ago to prevent it from hitting the tooth above it to promote healing. In addition, tooth #30 had a crown that was also shaved down 3 months ago due to problems I was having with it. My dentist wanted both teeth to calm down, but as a result it shifted my bite on that side and my front pre-molars on that side were hitting hard due to not having the back two molars for support. I adjusted by not chewing on that side, making sure I didn't bring my teeth together during the day and wearing a nightguard.
Now I have had both crowns done and adjusted - they feel fine, but I still hit my front premolars first and have to work harder to bring my mouth together correctly on that side. Did something shift with my bite over the past 5 months? Is my jaw muscle just weaker or stiffer on that side due to not being in the correct position for so long? I figured once I had those 2 teeth for support everything would go back to normal. My dentist made a slight adjustment to the pre-molar, but it made no difference and he's hesitant to do more. Will my bite adjust back with time or do I go back to have the pre-molar adjusted? My jaw does pop sometimes, but after reading symptoms of tmj, mine is not that severe and I never had any problems until those back 2 teeth were shaved down so they could heal.
Thanks so much for your time!

Every so often a war breaks out some place in the world which leaves one wondering at the diligence some put into life in order to create one more war. Last month, Muslim insurgents who had been fighting for decades against the government of the Philippines reached a peace agreement which ends violence in southern regions of the country. Great. However, a group of Muslim insurgents declared themselves to be the Royal Militia of the Sultanate of Sulu and invaded the Malaysian province of Sabah.
There was a standoff, angry words were exchanged and finally the Royal Militia -only a few actually possessed a weapon–decided to cross a line drawn by Malaysian forces. Shots rang out. Twelve Filipinos are dead. What is the Sultanate of Sulu, who cares about the state of Sabah-except for those living in it, and how come we now have one more war to add to the list of wars?
