Letter to the Editor: Angelo Golf Classic a success
On Aug. 15, the first John Angelo Golf Classic was held at Indian Springs Golf and Country Club. It was a very successful event, and all proceeds will benefit the Foundation for The Arc of Indiana County, which is an agency dedicated to assisting The Arc of Indiana County.
John Angelo, my son, was born in 1972. John has Down syndrome, and his birth presented our family with a set of unexpected challenges. The Arc of Indiana County, which was founded in 1973, became our most valuable source of information and guidance as we sought to help John to develop his gifts and talents. As a result, John's life as a productive member of our community has been one that blows away stereotypical thinking about people with Down syndrome.
The John Angelo Golf Classic was a success because of the kindness of many people. Our four tournament sponsors — Phoenix Rehabilitation & Health Services, Reliant Holdings Inc., Sen. Don White, and VFW Post 1989 — more than covered all of the event's expenses. In addition, we had other sponsors and donors, many donating without being solicited. Many businesses pitched in with items used for prizes and for a silent auction. Fifty-five golfers played in the event and about 70 people attended the dinner.
About a dozen volunteers worked on the day of the event to make it an enjoyable time. The staff at Indian Springs Golf and Country Club could not have been more helpful.
The smiling faces of John and the winning golfers in the photograph in last Sunday's sports section of the Gazette were typical of all who were there. Everyone seemed to have a great time. My heartfelt appreciation goes to all who made the first John Angelo Golf Classic a memorable occasion.
Joseph Angelo
president, Foundation for The Arc of Indiana County

I'm a 50 yr old woman in menapause with hypothyroidism and in 6 months gained almost 20 lbs in my arms, stomach, hips and thighs. Inthe 1 1/2 years since, I could not loose the weight or "muffin" around my middle.
I started looking into Vasar Lipo about 8 monhts prior to surgery. I was scared and skeptical about the providers I was able to research on line. I finally found a wonderful provider in Voorhees, NJ. One free consult later, I was sold. This porvider (a real Doctor) made me feel very comfortable with the procedure and what to expect the day of and the days after. The biggest difference was that this doctor stressed the use of foam around the areas to help mold the body. They were also very helpful with pre-planning of garments and gave you numerous pieces of leterature to rad on what to expect. I was "handled" by one individual who walked me through every step and called me every day to see how I was doing.
My procedure was done in two seperate sessions - Arms and flanks one day with the abdomen done the second day. I did not have any pain the first two days - on the third day the lidacane wore off and I had some pain. My doc prescirbed Vicadon and it worked wonders. I was able to walk around without pain but getting up and down from teh bed or sofa was still an issue.
I was a little swolen the first week after surgery but was able to speak with my doc several times that week and he talked me through it. I had my surgery on Wednesday and Thrusday and went back to work on the next Tuesday. I was completely fine just a little sore and swolen at the end of the day. My draining stopped on Monday.
It is now 2 1/2 months post op. I had the hard and lumpy's and the itching and wore my compression garment for 8 weeks. I just felt so much better with it on. I wore the foam for 6 of the eight weeks.
I cannot tell you how happy I am with the results - I'm not "perfect" yet but I believe I will be in another month or two. I still have a couple of lumpy areas but no big deal. I am now back in a two piece bathing suit and everyone tells me I look great. The surgery was well worth it and I plan on going back in the winter to have my hips and thighs done - right after I pay off the the $6,500 (LOL).

Councilman Calls On Verizon To Fix Phone Lines
Almost five months after Sandy, there's still no dial tone for hundreds of people living in the Rockaways. The city councilman representing the area is warning the phone outage is a dangerous situation that must be fixed quickly.
More than four thousand people live in the Ocean Bay Apartments, and most of them have had no land line phone service, according to councilman Donovan Richards.
Richards said one elderly resident of the public housing complex waits for her niece to visit, so she can use the niece's cell phone to make important calls.
"So imagine this elderly lady has an emergency one day. Who can she call? How can she call?" Richards said.
Verizon is asking for patience, and says it will begin restoring service to much of the area by the end of the month. High-speed fiber optic cable will replace copper lines damaged by flooding.
Phone outages are not confined to the Rockaways. Sandy's floodwaters corroded copper cables in lower Manhattan, and many people there still have no service.
WNYC's outage map is crowdsourced and cannot be considered authoritative. WNYC reconfirms all outages weekly. To report a phone or internet outage to WNYC, email firstname.lastname@example.com, and put "outage" in the subject line.

How many more minutes before the church service would be over? That's all I could think about. Every agenda item on the scheduled liturgy was just something else I would have to endure. My mind worked hard to calculate and estimate how much time each of these "perfunctories" would demand: Invocation – two minutes. Reading from Psalms – five minutes.

In Japan, idled Dreamliner pilots lose pay, but want plane to be safe
By Yoko Kubota
TOKYO (Reuters) - Their smart uniforms are mothballed, their income has fallen and some are getting under their wives' feet at home.
The grounding of Boeing Co's global fleet of 787 Dreamliner passenger jets due to undiagnosed battery problems is taking its toll on the hundreds of pilots specially trained to fly the high-tech, fuel efficient plane.
In Japan, the 350 or so pilots at All Nippon Airways Co (ANA) and Japan Airlines Co Ltd (JAL), which operate around half the 50 Dreamliners in service, have been kicking their heels at home since the planes were idled in mid-January - an enforced rest period that is beginning to grate.
"For the first two weeks after the grounding, the 787 was in my dreams. It's the first time I haven't flown for this long," one ANA Dreamliner captain told Reuters. He asked not to be named as he was not authorized to talk to the media. "It's like I'm rehearsing for retirement. My family teases me, saying I'm unemployed."
Without planes to fly, the pilots - who have up to three months intensive training for the 787 - expect their monthly pay to fall by as much as 30 percent. They have mostly been assigned "blank" days - an industry term for pilots who are not on duty, staff at the airlines said. ANA has told its Dreamliner pilots they will undergo simulator refresher training next month, the pilot said.
Air safety investigators don't yet know what caused lithium-ion batteries to overheat on two 787s last month. ANA has said it plans not to use the plane until the end of May, while JAL has for now said it won't fly the Dreamliner until March 30.
Dreamliner pilots at Japan's two biggest airlines are not currently allowed to fly other aircraft, even though they have previously flown other planes including Boeing 777s, said staff at ANA and JAL - a sidelining that is hitting their wallets. Continued...

In USAF tech school.
Hey everyone.
Just graduated USAF BMT recently, and am in tech school. My job is Emergency Management. Does anyone here have any advice on tech school? Im on exodus right now so im out for another week! Any advice?
Not sure what you mean by exodus, but I finished my 3 level about 3 months ago (waiting to go to FTU) and all I can say about tech school is FOCUS! No pun intended. At least in mine we covered a lot of information very fast and if you don't keep up you will get left behind. What AFSC is Emergency Management?
3E9X1 is the AFSC code. So far i like it alot. Did you go through the Terry facility at Ft.Leonardwood?
No I went through aircrew fundamentals at lackland (which sucked), then I moved on to my 3 level training elsewhere in san antonio. So I was in Texas for quite a while. How far along are you in school? Much left?
Im about a month into it, and have like 2 more to go. There are some things I dont like, like PT is a joke. We run 4 miles straight on concrete, and basically everyone is injured or always sore...its not even helping us.
That sounds like tech school. Its all good though, as soon as its over life becomes normal again and you'll have a reliable, well paying job. Just gotta get through it.
Im stressing out about the 2 weeks of hazmat training after I graduate the schoolhouse. If I dont pass that, I get kicked out of the AF. And its 8 weeks of material crammed into 2 weeks. Lots of studying!
They always give you that horror story to make you try super hard. In all actuality the chance of you getting kicked out of the AF after they spend tens of thousands of dollars training and processing you is extremely slim, unless you majorly [:)][:)][:)][:)][:)] something up. Its far cheaper to reclass someone into like secfo than to bring in a brand new person. Not saying it wouldn't be [:)][:)][:)][:)][:)]ty ending up in secfo, but they aren'y going to discard you. So I wouldn't worry about that. Tech school for me consisted of having no life at all. School, gym, book. That was my life everyday for 2.5 months. Just concentrate and you'll be perfectly fine. I have to go through another 4-8 months of training before I even start my job so its not easy for anyone (save maybe services). Just think of the pride you'll have and how bad*ss you'll look to all your friends and family. Its good motivation even if it may be a bit narcissistic.
I'll PM you my private email in case you need any advice or help. Wingmen stick together.
Thanks bud! Re-classing to secforces is not on my radar lol I really need to study HARD. What is your AFSC?
I'm a 1U0. Sensor op for RPA's. I finished tech school. Still have to go to flight training, which is what I'm waiting for. And I was just using secfo as an example. A guy in my aircrew class dropped out of PJ and became an Aerial Gunner, so not every reclass is bad.

Pacman-Margarito tickets
By Nick Giongco
From the deck of a cruise ship docked in the South of France, Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum said that a ringside ticket to the Nov. 13 world super-welterweight title fight between Manny Pacquiao and Antonio Margarito will be retailed at a reasonable $700 a pop. Arum told Manila Bulletin and Fightnews that other tickets will be sold at $500, $300, $200, $100 and $50 for the fight to be held at the Cowboys Stadium in Dallas. These were the same prices when Pacquiao fought the last time in March against Joshua Clottey when he drew almost 51,000 spectators. Arum believes this fight will lure more than 70,000 fans since Margarito has a fan-base in Texas being Mexican and that the event will take place right smack in the (National Football League) season. "This is going to be a lot bigger than the March fight," said Arum, who is in the final phase of his two-week European vacation. Arum will be back in the US in time for a three-city press tour that kicks off in Los Angeles on Tuesday. From Hollywood, the traveling circus' succeeding stops would be New York and Dallas, where Texas billionaire Jerry Jones is rolling out the red carpet.

Great job, the use of force was appropriate, tactics were excellent too.

Great job, the use of force was appropriate, tactics were excellent too.
I agree that the tactics and appropiate use of force was used peoperly in accordance with OCGA 16-3-21. The imminent threat to loss of life or seriously bodily harm was eliminated when the dog was DRT, due to the fact the perp was not physically armed and only the dog posed a viable threat.
I have taught my wife one very important move if we are attacked. It is what I call, "SAVE THE KING", and I point out that I am the King.
You can guess how serious she takes this.
I have to admit this is the first time I have heard of anyone using a pit bull to keep a homeowner at bay. It is amazing how creative criminals can be at times.

Good huntin!
Hi All,
I took my new JC hunting today. I patterned the gun at the range yesterday and I really liked what it did at 25 yards. The gun performed perfectly. The follow-up shots were easy to make. To all of you who thinks 410 is not enough of a gun for bird hunting it is ENOUGH. Three of the birds were taken down with the first shot and the rest with the follow-up. Even my buddy (the dog owner) was very skeptical at first. He though that the idea of having the revolver was silly alone and that it is 410 was a matter of a laugh to him, but then he changed his mind and actually is very impressed with this little carbine. I think it just might become my primary uplander I had a ton of fun. We did about 9 miles and got 11 birds.
Good huntin!

Did you have plugs in the cylinder so you could only use three chambers or does your state allow a higher capacity? Just curious how you thought of the plugged cylinders if you used them.
Hey Ace,Originally Posted by Ace
In Virginia you do not need plugs for upland birds. I beleive only migratory birds require the plugs. Sorry I could not answer your question.
No worries, in my state the bird mag restriction is three and was just wondering if anybody has tried hunting with the judge like that.
I had no problem cycling the action with the plugs in at home. In all of my downed birds there were no need to have more than 2 rounds so far, so I think if you are not a horrible shot, then three shells should do per one bird.Originally Posted by Ace

I got this whistle for my edc kit, but turns out it was slightly larger than what i expected. In tests this whistle is slightly louder than the ACR whistle, but i for a few decibles, the ACR is actually smaller and more compact, and still performs pretty close to this one. I now use this one in my main backpack when i got camping, and i carry the WW-3 Whistle WW-3 Res-Q Whistle/Lanyard-Sub 2229 in my edc, and emergecy kits.

Foley Hoag Attorneys Christina Hioureas and Constantinos Salonidis Co-author Treatise on International Commercial Arbitration in Cyprus
August 25, 2016
Foley Hoag LLP counsel and United Nations practice chair Christina Hioureas and senior international associate Constantinos Salonidis have recently written a treatise on International Commercial Arbitration in Cyprus. The treatise, published by Global Arbitration Review and co-authored with Dr. K. Chrysostomides & Co LLC (Nicosia), serves as a reference for private entities and individuals investing in Cyprus, as well as for practitioners and academics. Topics covered include enforcement of arbitral awards, set aside of awards, piercing the corporate veil, non-signatories to an arbitration agreement, securing payment of fees, procedural rules, costs and ethical codes, among others.
Hioureas and Salonidis are both members of Foley Hoag's International Litigation and Arbitration Department. Hioureas represents States, private and State-owned entities and individuals on international disputes and public international law matters, and also advises States on matters before the United Nations and its bodies.

Google Upgrades Mobile Browser Display to Allow Reviews
One of the frustrations I'm sure everybody is faced if you are involved with the Google game, is getting ranked on Google for the page one listings, on the old seven pack, which is now the three pack (snack pack).
One of the major ranking factors on the 3 pack is reviews,( there are many more that I won't go into here, you can contact me if you want more information)
The problem is before you had to get people to leave a review for you:
1. From a different IP address.
2. On a different computer.
3. On a different Google account.
Even with some great strategies and incentives, customers as you know rarely leave great reviews for you because they are just too busy. Now a client could visit your business and he could ask them right then and there to do it on their smart phone while you're watching and can guide them through it. This is possible because their smart phone will use a different IP address. As long as they are not connected to your Wi-Fi in your business ( and if they are have them turn their Wi-Fi off temporarily) this will work.
As a Calgary marketing company I can tell you this is huge!!!!
Here is a great post by Mike Blumenthal.
So without further ado here is Mike's information:
"Leaving a review for a business on Google via a mobile has long been a pain. However starting in early May on Android 5 and gradually working its way across Google's &Apple's mobile browsers, users can once again leave a review for a business using almost any mobile browser. This includes Safari and Chrome for iPhone as well as the mobile browsers for Android 4 and 5.
Since 2012 when the mobile web version of G+ had its review link removed, the only way to leave a review was to use the Google Map App or to do an ugly work around using G+ local search. With the advent of this search display update users can once again leave mobile reviews across both major platforms and browsers by simply searching for the business, selecting the more info button in the Knowledge panel, scrolling down to the rate and review area and selecting a star rating. Thus one of the easiest ways to get a customer to leave you a review is to just ask them to search for you on Google and either click the "write a review" link on the desktop or select the more info button on mobile.

For reservations, please use the online booking procedure to the right
Anderida Restaurant at Ashdown Park, Forest Row
The Anderida Restaurant, as well as being locally renowned as one of the best restaurants in Forest Row, is also recognised throughout the county and beyond as being an award-winning Sussex restaurant, that simply must be sampled.
The word Anderida is Roman in origin meaning hunting ground, which is very appropriate. It not only reflects the wild game that roam in the forest but also perfectly describes our Head Chef's hunter's eye for tracking down only the finest and freshest ingredients for your table.
The room is stunning with high windows, framed by heavy drapes, looking out over the surrounding gardens. Beautifully light by day, and warm and cosy in evening candlelight, the ambience manages to be both grand yet relaxing at the same time.
The restaurant's reputation goes before it, having been awarded two highly prestigious AA Rosettes, and as much attention has gone into the selection of the carefully chosen wine list where both established European vineyards and emerging New World wineries are represented.
Children are welcomed too with a special Children's menu available for both lunch and dinner.

Chef Profile
Talented chef Andrew Wilson returned to Ashdown Park Hotel & Country Club in the autumn of 2011.
He brings skills honed in Michelin starred restaurants to the country house hotel at Wych Cross, near Forest Row, where he first worked as a demi chef de partie in 2000. He reached the rank of junior sous chef before leaving and returning to the hotel for three years in 2003 as senior sous chef. During his time at Ashdown Park he reached the regional finals of the country's most difficult culinary competition, the Roux Scholarship, and later on in his career became one of only six chefs selected each year to go through to the national finals. He also reached the semi-finals of the prestigious annual competition run by the Academy of Culinary Arts.
Andrew trained at Bournemouth College and was offered his first job working at a restaurant owned by one of the college lecturers. His recent appointments include working at the Capital Restaurant in London's Knightsbridge, during the time it had two Michelin stars, and Head Chef at the Michelin starred Drake's Restaurant in Surrey. Before returning to Ashdown Park he was Executive Chef at the Castle Inn in the National Trust village of Chiddingstone in Kent, employed by his former boss John McManus who was in charge of Ashdown Park's kitchen before opening his own restaurant.
With a team of 19 chefs Andrew is responsible for Ashdown Park's two AA Rosette Anderida Restaurant, the Fairway Brasserie in the Country Club and the hotel's banqueting, room service and public lounges.

Death totals continue to rise as Syrian tanks enter city after city blasting away at anyone who dares express disagreement with the dictatorial regime of President Bashar al-Assad. Turkey, a close ally of Syria, sent Foreign Minister Ahmed Davutoglu to Damascus with a plea to cease the slaughter but Assad told him to mind his own business because he intends to destroy any and all "Islamic militants"– his expression for those who oppose his government. Ironically, Turkey is ruled by the Justice and Development Party which represents conservative Muslims in the nation.
There still remain nations like India, Brazil, Russia and South Africa which believe there are no conditions under which the UN should intervene in order to halt a maniac from killing his own people. Finally, the Russian government has begun to sound an alarm of despair at the actions of its ally. At least 2,000 are dead, including four hundred during the past week. We await a march of Muslims who will openly enter Syria in order to express solidarity with their fellow Muslims.
Of course, does anyone actually believe the above will occur?

This Saturday I took some guns to the range and gave um a work out. I took my carry loads with me to run through my EDCs. Being that Buffalo Bore is my main carry round, that's what I ran and no other ammo was used in my three EDC's. When I was cleaning um, all three than only ran the BB looked extremely dirty, more so than I remember from any range trip in a long time. The other two safe queens that ran regular factory FMJs were not near as dirty, or as difficult to clean.:confused:
My question is. Has anyone else had the same experience with this ammo, and anything other than the obvious concerns regarding cleaning to look out for?
My thoughts for the ammo during the range trip is, it's very accurate stuff, and it absolutely adds some ump to any round. I carried 50 rounds for my .38s and 50 for my PPK. I guess it's not such a big deal, normally I don't take that many firearms to the range at one time, but it did really point out to me just how dirty this stuff is. I'll look at it as fair trade off for the additional horse power gained.

Kitchen Cabinet Faces
In the fixer upper we bought, they took the kitchen cabinet drawers with them! Can anyone recommend where I can buy just the faces (two below the sink will have to be fakes, there isn't enough room for a drawer to slide in), as well as a place where I can buy drawers?
I would take an example around to some local cabinet shops ( i know there are a bunch in the Manchester area..) and see if anyone can build matching face and drawer. Or, if you know who the manufacturer is, they might be able to help.
Rocklers makes drawers and doors, and fronts to order. If you google what you want, you'll find a lot of specialty companies that do just that also. Reminds of the movie 'Moving' with Richard Pryor where he was buying a fancy house everything he commented on, the old couple would go "Don't get used to it, cuz we're taking it with us." And they did, cabinets, staircase, built in pool, stone facade on the front, etc. Pretty funny movie.

CES 2011 folds up its tents today, but the wondrous sights of our CES 2011 coverage continue through tomorrow.

Freddie Roach once said that Amir Khan could be the best boxer in the world but, in the past 12 months, that boast has looked ambitious.
Defeat against Lamont Peterson on points — however controversial — followed by a fourth-round knockout by Danny Garcia has seen his stock fall markedly.
To his credit Khan, who turned 26 last Saturday, is well aware of the danger he could become a fading star but believes he has made the necessary changes ahead of his fight against Carlos Molina, in the early hours of Sunday morning in Los Angeles, to avoid that.
Khan has ended his four-year association with Roach and teamed up with Virgil Hunter, who was last year voted trainer of the year by the Boxing Writers Association of America and has worked with the likes of Andre Ward, who defeated Carl Froch at the end of 2011. And Hunter has given Khan the belief that Roach's old boast still stands. "Virgil says I can be the best boxer in the world," says Khan from his training base near San Francisco where he has relocated from his former camp with Roach in Los Angeles.
There is sense to the change. For one, Roach has made no secret of the fact that Manny Pacquiao is his No1 fighter and, as such, his main focus, while Hunter is renowned for his defensive prowess, which has been the big area where Khan has needed to improve.
Following the events of the past year, Khan says: "I definitely need to prove myself. I have to win this fight, to be smarter about everything and not make any mistakes in it. It really is a must-win."
Where once Khan was tweeting about all manner of celebrities coming into Wild Card, Roach's LA gym, the distractions are minimal at Hunter's King's Gym in Oakland, so his existence almost monk like.
"Freddie's a great trainer but it was the right decision to move on as I've worked with him for a long time and I needed some more one-on-one time," says Khan.
"It's really quiet over here. It's just a training camp, nothing more.
"In Los Angeles, there were just a lot of distractions, with celebrities coming into the gym.
"When people come in, strangely you want to impress them and you don't end up doing what you should be doing. But no one comes here so you can focus and just train harder. The move was what was needed."
The changes have seen Khan do "more sparring than I've ever done in my life", with a heavy focus on defence, exhaustive video research of his and Molina's past fights, as well as drumming in a Hunter mantra of ridding his ring time of mistakes.
"First of all, there's always an extra buzz of working with a new trainer as it's someone you're trying to impress," says Khan.
"He likes to explain what we're doing and why we're doing it — he just breaks everything down.
"He has worked on my defence, he has taught me how to box more smartly and not make mistakes.
"At times, I know I've made a lot of mistakes. He has been showing me how to get that right.
"Virgil has dissected the errors of my last fights and made me understand what I could or should have done. Above all, though, it has been about working on my defence which I think was the one must. I know I've been criticised for that in the past."
Khan will return to familiar territory on Saturday night, with the fight being held in Molina's home turf and Khan's old stomping ground of Los Angeles.
Khan concedes that, on the back of his last two fights, and with Molina's record of 17 wins from his 17 professional fights, his opponent's confidence will be high.
"Molina is an unbeaten fighter and any unbeaten fighter is going to be confident," says Khan.
"That and the home support means he'll have the mental edge. He throws a lot of punches, he has got good hand speed and he has been the distance a couple of times. I don't think that he has as much power as me but he's still a dangerous opponent."
As for Khan's personal confidence, he insists it is still intact despite the defeats. He admits there will be nerves before he goes into the ring, repeating "it's a must-win fight for me", before pointing out, "I'm still the same fighter, it's just that now I feel mentally better".
While Molina is the immediate goal, Khan has plans to move up to welterweight, where Pacquiao tops the rankings and Britain's Kell Brook is also highly rated. But first, he has his sights set on revenge with Garcia.
"I'd like a Garcia rematch, particularly as our previous fight was one I was winning," he says. "I'd like to fight him a bit smarter and then make the move up to 147 pounds. Before I just wanted to take him out, now I know I need to be more patient."
The prospect of a once-talked-about fight with Ricky Hatton has since gone following the Mancunian's comeback defeat against Vyacheslav Senchenko and his decision to retire for a second time.
"A lot of people were talking about that fight and it would have been a huge one," he said.
"He needed to win that for it to be realistic. Unfortunately he didn't, which was a shame."
The prospect of a third successive defeat is one that Khan cannot personally entertain.
Khan v Molina is live on Sky Sports 1HD and on mobile and tablet devices via Sky Go from 2am on Sunday

More About Mann Eye Institute and Laser Center
The doctors at Mann Eye Institute and Laser Center combine surgical experience and leading-edge technology to treat all of their patients' eye care needs. They possess extensive experience having performed more than 30,000 cataract surgeries to help Katy, Austin and laser cataract surgery patients see clearly with "no-stitch" procedures. Previous lens replacement technologies only provided for clear distance vision, leaving patients dependent on reading glasses or bifocals after surgery for good vision. The advanced lens technologies at Mann Eye Institute Cataract Centers make it possible for patients to read, work on the computer and see the dashboard better than before. Recent studies have shown that 83% of patients who chose a premium lens no longer are dependent on glasses or contact lenses for functional vision.
Mann Eye Institute and Laser Center offers the most advanced laser vision correction procedures available today custom Blade-Free LASIK with the Allegretto Wave excimer laser and CustomVue LASIK to help patients eliminate their dependency on glasses and contact lenses. Traditional LASIK surgery requires the use of a microkeratome blade to make a corneal flap while Blade-Free LASIK uses the IntraLase femtosecond laser to create a custom flap.
The LASIK centers in Houston and Katy were the first facilities in Texas to offer Blade-Free LASIK with the Allegretto excimer laser. Refractive surgery performed with the Allegretto excimer laser incorporates WaveFront technology, which not only improves the quality of vision during daylight but also helps prevent the problems LASIK patients sometimes have with night vision. This technology also uses a unique eye-tracking system to automatically adjust the excimer laser to changes in a patient's pupil size during treatment. Mann Eye Institute also offers cataracts.
CustomVue LASIK uses a combination of WaveScan technology, the 3-D Active Tracker system and the VISX STAR 4 excimer laser to help provide optimal results. WaveScan technology measures and identifies imperfections in a patient's eye 25 times more accurately than traditional methods. The 3-D Active Tracker device follows and monitors the position of the eye 60 times per second during the LASIK procedure. This allows the VISX STAR 4 excimer laser to provide continuous treatment, which leads to a higher level of safety, precision and comfort.
What Mann Eye Institute and Laser Center Patients Are Saying
Roxanne, Radio Personality
"Thanks to the Mann Eye Institute, worrying about my vision is a thing of the past. Hi, I'm Roxanne Wilson from Family Friendly Mornings on 102.3 The River. I had Blade-Free LASIK with the ALLEGRETTO WAVE Eye-Q laser from the Mann Eye institute and nothing has ever been the same. Glasses and contacts have been a part of my life since I was six years old! But from the moment I opened my eyes after my procedure, I had better vision than I could ever imagine, 20/15!
Making the decision to have LASIK wasn't easy for me. I mean after all we are talking about my eyes. But after meeting all of the wonderful staff at Mann Eye Institute (and drilling them with every question imaginable) I was confident that if LASIK was the way to go, then Mann Eye Institute was the ONLY place to get it. And now here I am, utterly satisfied with my choice to trust the Mann Eye Institute. My friends and River listeners time and time again have gone to Mann Eye and been pleased not only with the procedure, but with the service. If you are even the least bit curious about LASIK procedure, sitting down with the Mann Eye Institute is a must!" Roxanne, Radio Personality
Heather, Radio Personality
"I'm Heather White from the KASE Morning Crew! I had Blade-Free LASIK with the ALLEGRETTO WAVE Eye-Q laser at Mann Eye Institute, and it was a life-changing experience! I can see! The silliest things thrill me: I can read the clock in the morning! I can see myself in the mirror! I can go swimming and never have to worry about glasses or contacts!! I especially loved how the people at Mann Eye Institute treated me like a VIP from the minute I walked in their office. My vision is now 20/15, better than when I was a kid! I love the fact that I can send my friends (and my husband!) to MEI with complete confidence. I love that Drs. Mike & Paul Mann are so respected and esteemed by their peers, too. They have great bedside manner and explained everything from start to finish, calming any nerves I had. From the first consultation through the follow-up appointments, my whole experience at Mann Eye Institute was incredible." Heather, Radio Personality
"I walked in the office and less than 24 hours later, I had great vision. LASIK at Mann Eye Institute was the best decision of my life." Mike Gallo, Professional Baseball Player
"The entire staff at the Mann Eye Institute was great, and I really felt at ease about a potentially intimidating procedure. And after seeing how pleased I was with my results, my wife went in and had her vision corrected too. I can't say enough good things about our experiences with the Mann Eye Institute!" Chris Rice, Radio Personality
"The reason I chose Dr. Mann is simply because he is the best. He is one of the pioneers of the LASIK procedure and he has a tremendous reputation. When dealing with something as delicate as eye surgery, I wanted to be sure I was in the hands of the best." Lee Labrada

June 13 (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp will buy LinkedIn Corp for $26.2 billion in its biggest-ever deal, a bold stroke by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella in his efforts to make the venerable software company a major force in next-generation computing.
By connecting widely used software like Microsoft Word and PowerPoint with LinkedIn's network of 433 million professionals, the combination could enable Microsoft to add a suite of sales, marketing and recruiting services to its core business products and potentially challenge cloud software rivals such as Salesforce.com Inc..
"LinkedIn and Microsoft really share a mission" of helping people work more efficiently, said Microsoft CEO Nadella in a conference call with analysts. "There is no better way to realize that mission than to connect the world's professionals."
The $196-per-share price tag represented a premium of almost 50 percent over LinkedIn's stock market value as of Friday, but was still well below the social media company's all-time high of $270. Analysts said the price was rich, and Microsoft's stock closed down 2.7 percent at $50.14.
Still, there was cautious optimism that this could be one of the relatively few tech mega-mergers that works out well. "It's a massive growth play for Microsoft," said Forrester analyst Ted Schadler.
The deal may also help spur further mergers and acquisitions in the tech sector, where a broad correction is bringing down the prices of public and private companies even as a handful of major players sit on large cash piles.
For LinkedIn, founded in 2002 and launched the following year by Reid Hoffman, one of Silicon Valley's most-visible investors and entrepreneurs, the sale marks the end of a classic startup run: funding from top-tier venture capitalists, a long period of building the company and developing a revenue base, then a big initial public offering, followed by a roller-coaster stock price and finally an acquisition.

The Rev. Joseph DiGregorio has been returned to ministry, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia said Monday, despite the fact that DiGregorio committed an unspecified act more than 40 years ago that the archdiocese now says violated its Standards of Ministerial Behavior and Boundaries. DiGregorio, who has spent most of his career as an Army chaplain, was nonetheless cleared to return to ministry because of "compelling evidence"—also unspecified—"that makes him suitable for ministry." Church officials declined to offer details, saying they wanted to "protect individuals involved in this matter." "There is no evidence that he poses a danger to children and there is no indication he had or would engage in a pattern of behavior that would necessitate his removal from ministry," Archbishop Charles Chaput said in a statement. DiGregorio was one 26 priests suspended following a scathing grand jury report that led to the conviction of Monsignor William Lynn on charges of covering up child molestation cases.

The last cut in rates was in November when the monetary policy committee, headed by Bank of England Governor Sir Eddie George, lowered the cost of borrowing by a surprising half percentage point. That cut was the seventh made by the Bank last year, and brought rates to their lowest for nearly 40 years.
Economists widely believe the interest rate-cutting cycle, has come to an end. The City is now pencilling in rises for later in the year, when the global economy is expected to perk up.
John Butler, economist at HSBC, said: 'We believe rates have already troughed at 4% and expect no interest rate rise until the third quarter.'

Olympic Hockey is ruined
It is Saturday morning and I am sitting watching USA vs Russia reminiscing about 1980. What a magical time that was. Some might call it Miraculous :). Thanks for the best sports play by play call Mr. Al Michaels you lucky dog. That's something us young broadcasters grew up dreaming about in parking lot pick up games.
So, here we are 34 years later and it just isn't the same. As much as we try to hype it up, it will NEVER be the same. Back in 1980 Team USA was a bunch of amateur farm boys playing on pure emotion and passion against seasoned, grizzled old veterans of the Soviet Union. In 2014 it is basically an NHL All Star game. It is without a doubt fun to watch, but it will never be same as that day in 1980.
Granted, the politics of the day were different as well. So much made that Miracle on Ice the perfect storm. Glad it happened in my lifetime. That Olympics is truly Legendary.
Most of those guys never really went on to much success in the NHL with the exception of Ken Morrow who went on to win Stanley Cups with the NEw York Islanders, but I'm biased.
The Olympic dream of playing hockey for team USA needs to come back. We need to change the rules to make it something for the everyman. We may lose alot, but when we win...It certainly would make winning more exciting. Right now I feel like Russia in 1980... We expect to win with our team of All Stars.

This one was over by the end of the first quarter, even if the remainder was played as a formality.
Using the arm of Chipper Lucero and the receiving talents of Ammon Barker and Harrison Handley, Alta dominated Cottonwood 48-12 to move into the postseason in style while throwing the Colts to the brink of elimination Wednesday.
The Hawks finished the regular season at 8-2 and enter the playoffs as one of the teams in Class 5A with a chance at challenging Jordan High for state supremacy. Cottonwood, the team with Alabama commit Cooper Bateman at quarterback, will face Brighton on Monday in a play-in game.
"This was a great game for us," Hawks coach Bob Stephens said. "We came out and executed. The offense was crisp, and the best thing is that we emerge from the game with no injuries. I'm pleased with how everything turned out tonight."
Lucero, Alta's junior quarterback, tossed five scoring passes in the first half. Two of those went to Handley, a Utah commit. Two more went to Barker, the 6-foot-5 wide receiver with a heavy smattering of Division I offers on his plate.
"We wanted to come out and play well, and I think we did that," Barker said. "I thought Chipper played great. He made the right reads, and he made the right throws. He was a real factor for us tonight."
The Hawks scored three times in the first quarter and three more times in the second period. Alta played its second-stringers for the entire second half after opening a 41-0 lead at the half.
Bateman ran for a touchdown and threw for another score. But the Hawks held Bateman in check for the majority of the night.
Cottonwood didn't run the ball, and that put Bateman in position to have to make difficult plays by himself.

• Alta led 41-0 at halftime
• Chipper Lucero threw five touchdown passes
• The Hawks improve to 8-2 on the season

whats the best tool for cutting acrylic, I know the awnser is not a dremmel but there are so many types of saws out there.
Grabbed this from a website:
Table/Circular Saw:
For rough cutting acrylic, you can use a table saw or a circular saw with a fine blade. Blades with fine closely spaced teeth (like those used for plywood) will work relatively well. Blades with widely spaced teeth (like the type used for cutting MDF) will cause a lot more chipping. I've used an Oldham B7254760 on a circular saw with good results. When using a hand held circular saw, use a guide to make sure you get a straight cut with minimal chipping. There are blades made specifically for cutting acrylic. If you're going to be cutting a lot of acrylic or are using very expensive (thick) material, you need to invest in a blade specifically designed for cutting plastics and laminates.
Jig Saw or Band Saw:
Jig saws can be used to cut acrylic when you need something other than a straight cut. To reduce the work of cleaning up the cut, use the finest blade that you can find. Blades with reduced depth (like those used for scroll work - shown below) will work best due to less friction and less resistance when turning the blade. You'll have to experiment with cutting speed to see what works best. Too much pressure can cause excessive chipping. Going too slow may cause the acrylic to melt. If the acrylic melts when cutting, use a light lubricating oil. Have someone apply the oil to the blade as you're making the cut. DON'T use an aerosol dispensed oil. The propellant may be flammable and may be ignited by the jig saw motor. I've had good results with the blade shown below.
Justin what equipment do you have access too? I would recommend a band saw. If you have a table saw use a 80 or 100 tooth blade, like ripcode said a laminate blade will work perfect.
Sweet, that would be perfect, thanks... I have access to almost anything, I am trying to find good tools to add to my own work area but between all my firends and family I have access to it all. They havea sale on band saws going on so I may take advantage. This should solve my issue of being able to cut acrylic for both visors and custom RFs... :)
Mmmm... Bandsaw... :loveQuote:

That is on my want list for future power tools.
The jigsaw is not cutting it (excuse the pun! :lol). I use it to cut styrene and it does melt the plastic pretty quick.

It's a whole new world for physicians, and when they aren't properly aligned with your goals, retention suffers - and so do outcomes, patient experience, and reimbursements.
Hospitals no longer have the luxury of dealing with a homogenous medical staff who are regular visitors to the inpatient facility. Today, hospital care is largely managed by hospitalists and emergency department physicians, supported by a cadre of physician specialists. The traditional medical staff is now broken into two segments—inpatient physicians who practice regularly in the hospital setting and outpatient physicians who practice out of their community-based offices.
In recognition of this complicated environment, HealthStream offers Physician surveys to help hospitals support the various needs of their physicians. We work with more than 550 hospitals annually to provide healthcare executives the information they need to support their physicians. We have comparative information for our inpatient and outpatient core surveys as well as our employed physician insert, so you can know how your survey results compare to those of other hospitals nationally.

Quick question here!
I bought a 02 wrx from a Mazda dealer with 112k and now it's at 117k. I bought it in January in Wisconsin so the weather has been very cold this winter.
Anyways since it's warming up I've noticed when my car gets up to operating temp 2nd, 3rd, 4th begin to notch into gear. And grind very little into third. When the car is cold the car shifts like butter and I love how it feels! I bought some Subaru extra s that will be here Tuesday that I will be putting in. So do you think the dealer put in some fluid that's meant for the colder weather or just put in there fluid?
I'm hoping this will eliminate all the grinding/ notch feeling while shifting!
Thanks in advance to everyone!

LATALL 2015, a 2-day workshop, will provide new insights into the trends of learning analytics, pedagogical technology adoption, and technology enhanced language learning in the era of big data. The workshop will provide researchers and educators with a platform for brainstorming some ideas of how and what kind of mechanisms would be highly innovative and effective in practical applications of learning analytics, acceleration of technology adoption in education, and learning modes of language acquisition in the big-data era. Our previously organized workshops, focusing on virtual worlds enhancing language learning and pedagogical application back in years 2012 and 2014, in Taipei, Taiwan, have gained much resonance. We ensured that a platform we set up these years have already provided a useful and interactive way in the short term. However, to achieve a better understanding and the effectiveness in the fast-pace and big-data era, we believe there are topics that could be discussed further and solutions to be explored in the long run.
DREAM BIG. This is the reason why we hope to gather scholars and experienced professionals in this coming passion-driven workshop in June. All the researchers and educators of language learning, e-learning, and learning analytics are very welcome to join us. We are sure it will be a fruitful harvest.

How The Mobile Checkbook Will Change The Future Of Commerce
The founder of Zipmark -- a new finance company -- speaks to PSFK about how service providers need to be more reactive to the developments in mobile payments.
Much headway has been made recently in the world of mobile payments. Google Wallet, NFC, Square and other Mobile POS systems are making the smartphone the device on which smaller, personal transactions are taking place. However, the majority of people are still using physical checks to pay for larger items or services such as rent with checks that need processing time, carry fees, and are not always reliable. Jay Bhattacharya, the founder of Zipmark, spoke to PSFK about how he sees the 'checkbook of the future' developing.
What is 'the checkbook of the future' and how is Zipmark making it a reality?
Across all industries we're seeing time and resources being wasted on something that should be streamlined and carefree — payment collections. We're aiming to help people focus on their actual business by streamlining cash flow and decreasing the hassle (interchange fees, bounced checks) that comes with existing payments structures — this is what 'the checkbook of the future' can accomplish. We just announced the launch of our Developer Program, giving businesses and application developers access to an entirely new kind of fast and secure payment system for online and mobile transactions. Our platform brings sophisticated check-processing infrastructure directly to billers and their customers, enabling businesses to accept secure payments from any bank, thrift or credit union checking account without onerous fees or long delays. We charge 1% for each transaction with a cap at $5 regardless of the payment amount and offers secure, Check21 compliant digital checks. Our iPhone app is debuting at South by Southwest Interactive, and will enable users to make payments for items such as rent, fees or subscriptions directly from paper invoices via QR codes.
What are the challenges involved with getting merchants to sign up?
At Zipmark, we view merchants as users of our product, and as such we work with them to understand how our product can help their business. For example, if a small business proprietor wants to be able to collect from a client online, we can help them with that without having to get a merchant account or pay credit card or Paypal fees. The lower fees, faster settlement and the good funds model seems to resonate with billers and merchants. Also the fact that our payments are realtime, authorized checks provides immediate understanding of our transaction process unlike some of the alternatives that use stored value or intermediary accounts.
Zipmark works closely with businesses that are already servicing merchants as partners and collaborators. There is so much change happening in eCommerce and mobile commerce and payments is often part of a larger suite of tools that help business owners and managers. If you can get Zipmark from someone with whom you already do business, that works better from our perspective
Other than convenience and efficiency, are you planning on building any incentives (loyalty, discounting etc.) into the system to encourage people to use the system?
We have rewards and loyalty on our radar, but right now we feel that if we are the best way for a merchant to get paid, they are going to ask for Zipmark. One of our early test clients is putting "convenience" fees on every other way to pay except for Zipmark, which is driving a lot more adoption than any miles program would.
Are you considering offering any other services on top of the payments platform, recommendations etc.?
There are businesses that do a great job of creating those services and Zipmark secure digital check transactions may become a valuable data for them.
Alongside mobile tech, where do you see the payments space heading?
Mobile is a big change for the financial services space. I entered the industry when the prevailing attitude was that the Internet, as a whole, was going to be where the riff-raff would be so the industry was wrong back then. One trend in general is the overall control of payments going to where the actual business relationship is, between the payer and the payee. We see that with merchant funded rewards, stored value, etc. Major behavior changes such as NFC and P2P are going to take time and service providers will need to be reactive to what the market says. We are now living during the coming of age of the first generation of consumers who never went to a bank branch or questioned an online transaction, at Zipmark we're planning so that we can be open to the changes that emerge.
Thanks Jay!
