The film, ER Baghdad: A Doctor's Story, made by Guardian Films, a division of Guardian News and Media, depicts life inside Al Yarmouk hospital, one of the biggest in Baghdad.
Shot during the summer of 2006, and broadcast on BBC2's This World strand last autumn, the film was made by Omer Salih, an Iraqi doctor. Although Salih is not seen or heard on the film, his standing as a former Baghdad emergency room doctor gained him precious access to the inside of one of Baghdad's busiest hospitals.
"I always wanted people to make people see what is going on inside Baghdad's hospitals," Salih said this week. "Before this film they never knew what the situation was like in Baghdad's emergency rooms. They always see the explosions and the site of an attack and that's it. The film makes people see the inside of a hospital."
The documentary, which was shot by Salih in a vivid, handheld style, follows Dr Ali, an emergency room doctor and the only medical professional to allow himself to be filmed by Salih.
Dr Ali frequently bemoans the fate of his hospital, a flagship facility built under Saddam Hussein in the late 1970s.
Noting that 90% of the hospital's patients are treated for "war injuries", Dr Ali declares that Al Yarmouk, "is now a field hospital in a civil war". He also places himself in considerable danger by criticising the armed insurgents who enter the hospital. "They have guns in their hands while we have stethoscopes," he says.
For Salih, the ebullient Dr Ali was key to the success of the film, providing access and helping him surmount the suspicion of other officials.
"When I started to speak to doctors the main reaction I got was that they were very scared," Salih said. "Dr Ali wanted people outside to see how much Iraqi doctors were suffering and at the same time how much the people are suffering. He feels they've been neglected."
Since the filming, Salih has lost contact with Dr Ali. The film-maker also found himself obliged to leave Iraq due to family problems.
Salih hopes that the Emmy nomination will further boost the exposure the film has given to the plight of Iraq's hospitals. "It's very important. I really hope it will make people understand what's going on in Iraq, especially here in the US, where people only see Iraqi politicians and their troops. They never see footage of Iraqis suffering. That's the main point of my film."
The film will be broadcast for the first time this week in the US on the cable channel HBO. The broadcast, along with the theatrical release of several other documentaries on the war in Iraq, as well as a slew of mainstream feature films based on the situation in the country, suggests that US media are becoming more open to depictions of the war beyond explosions and politicians.
Salih left Iraq earlier this year after he won a Fulbright scholarship to study journalism at a small town in Indiana.
"It's kind of strange for me to be in a calm environment after all the action in Baghdad," he said.

Michael Savino
Daily Forecast for June 26th 2017
Michael Savino is a male celebrity.
He was born on Monday April 10th 1944, in New York, NY, USA,.
June 26th 2017 may be called the awareness day for Michael Savino. He is fine-tuned, sensitive, and he can read other people easily and clearly.
Michael contributes to his surrounding as a peacemaker. However, he might develop a tendency today for self-righteousness. Savino must not be arrogant, as it may annoy quite a few people.
While studying the color and flavor of the day, it is a good practice to keep in mind the greater meaning of June and the master plan of 2017 in Michael's life.
You and Michael
About Michael's Numerological Forecast & Personal Day Cycle
Just as Michael Savino evolves through a nine-year cycle and experiences the nine-month cycle, he is also subjected to nine-day cycles, even though their impact is subtle compared to the Personal Year and even Personal Month cycles. The Personal Day cycles proceed according to the same pattern - 1 through 9 - that the Personal Year and Personal Month cycles do. The numbers within the daily cycles have a similar impact on Michael to the yearly and monthly cycles - though less pronounced.

Cabo Verde
Mr Martin Silič
Project Manager
E: email@example.com
Problem Statement
The Republic of Cabo Verde is an archipelago of 10 islands and 8 islets located in the mid-Atlantic, some 450 kilometers off the coast of Senegal. Cabo Verde has relatively well-developed healthcare capacities; hospitals, health centres and pharmacies are found on all nine inhabited islands, and available when needed. However, the country lacks specialist physicians, proper infrastructure and technical equipment, especially on outlying islands and in rural areas; therefore, patients often need to travel and seek treatment in the main hospitals or even go abroad. On the other hand, Cabo Verde also has a relatively well-developed telecommunications network.
Cabo Verde has no medical faculty, so all doctors are trained abroad. The above mentioned factors and the harsh environment, such as long distances between islands and extreme isolation, significantly impede the provision of high-quality care and make the accessibility of health care services at community level very difficult, if not almost impossible.
At 2014 summer's U.S–Africa Leaders Summit in Washington, DC, President Barack Obama pledged that "The United States will launch a new effort to bolster the West Africa region's early warning and response network and increase their ability to share information about emerging crises." This concept note is part of the broader Early Warning and Response Partnership (EWARP) fulfilling that pledge.
Describing the political outlook of the region as fragile with Member States grappling with insecurity, terrorist threats and tensions ahead of a demanding election cycle in 2015, the Commissioner said the Commission has consequently channelled more efforts to the strengthening of its peace and security architecture through a shift in focus from intervention to prevention, and enhancing instruments for anticipating and managing conflicts in a predictable, structured and effective manner.
After 10 years of providing early warning on potential crises, conflicts and human rights violations in the region, the ECOWAS Early Warning System intends to more efficiently anticipate and rapidly respond to regional threats in furtherance to ECOWAS Vision 2020, of an ECOWAS of People.
What we do
A combination of the country's specific features and major health care needs make Cabo Verde an ideal place for the implementation of Integrated Telemedicine and e-Health Program that would contribute to the development of health care and improve the quality and access to medical services for the country's 500,000 people. The multiphase Program falls within the Development Cooperation Program agreed between the Republic of Cabo Verde and the Republic of Slovenia that is being implemented since June 2012 through ITF by International Virtual e-Hospital Foundation and in close cooperation with local authorities.
With its holistic approach, the multiphase Program focused on establishing a telemedicine network in Cabo Verde by providing necessary equipment to 10 selected hospitals countrywide (thus covering all 9 inhabited islands), training the workforce that will operate and maintain the network and ensuring its integration into country`s healthcare system and sustainability.
The 2-year project objective is to enhance capacities of ECOWAS Early Warning and Response Directorate (EWD) by implementing the following activities:
- EWD additional staffing – 1 GIS and mapping officer to enhance EWD GIS analysis capacities; 2 analysts to cater the three official languages of ECOWAS (English, French and Portuguese); 1 Portuguese-speaking analyst to complement the existing francophone and Anglophone Analysts; 2 situation room assistants to better cover the data collection work and manage the network of the 77 field monitors work. In addition, ECOWAS Liaison Officers from Member States (15) would be employed.
- EWD staff training and capacity building in the field of financial controls and oversight.
- Monitoring and evaluation (regional and national) – development of a monitoring and evaluation framework to assess the effectiveness of the national, national-regional and regional mechanisms.
- Staffing at Member States (15) National Early Warning and Response Centers (when established) – potentially in year 2.
The proposed activities would contribute to stabilization of the delicate political, security and socio-economic landscape of ECOWAS region.

(First off, I know, I know, total cliffhanger, Batman. But you know how these things are – potential jinxings, and whatnot. I guess if you want the official scoop, you'll just have to email/gchat/come visit. Smooches!)
When it first started to sink in that I was moving from DC to California in the space of three weeks, the stress of everything that needed to be done and all the pieces that had to fall into place for it to work was entirely overwhelming. I was a veritable ball of anxiety just thinking about trying to adjust to a new city, a new home, and a new job… all at the same time.
(To say nothing of the daunting task of leaving my robust social circle back in DC, and building an entirely new one – and for an extreme extrovert like me, there is no fear like the fear of being lonely. Trust.)
But since picking up my life and moving it, my job, and my cat across the country almost two months ago now, I've had a ton of really sweet comments, emails and conversations with friends and readers who've told me ridiculously outlandish things like "you're so brave" and "you've inspired me to go for that kickass job/move to a new city/insert freaking awesome goal here".
These kinds of statements, while unbelievably sweet (and certainly not unwelcome, ha) always make me a little bit uncomfortable… because I don't feel brave or strong or courageous. I suppose that if the definition of courage is doing something even when you're afraid to do it, I might be able to claim a bit of that title, because lord knows I was absolutely terrified in the weeks leading up to the move, and, well, here I am.
But at the end of the day, I'm not brave. I didn't summon some huge burst of GUTS 'N GLORY that gave me the kick in the ass I needed. To be perfectly honest, there's one reason, and one reason only that can explain my current status as a resident of Northern California:
I didn't have a choice.
It's simple, really; I was more afraid of boredom than I was of being out of my comfort zone.
That is – tragically – all that this enormous life-changing milestone boils down to. I spent five years in one (albeit glorious) city, and I needed a new challenge, because I'd seemingly conquered it.
I just felt like I'd done it all – like I'd made the lifelong friends, and found the favorite restaurants, and become a (hopefully favorite) fixture at the events. Granted, my "scene" was the deliciously dorky tech/whiskey-swilling scene, and I loved every second of it (how do you not?!) – but the fact remains that I outgrew it as only a true child of the first ADD generation, AKA Gen Y, truly can.
It was time for a clean slate for many reasons, sure. But the moment I was no longer attached to someone who couldn't leave the District, I knew I had to fly. At the time, where I went didn't seem to matter – but of course, hindsight is 20/20 and blah blah blah. Because the second I touched down in SF, I immediately knew – no, felt – that this was EXACTLY where I'm supposed to be.
Bravery is great.
Courage is grand.
Listening to your gut and following your instincts is better.
So much better. Because you don't just get to call yourself brave, at the end of the day – you get to KNOW, in the pit of your stomach, that you're on the right track, meeting the right people, and doing the right thing for yourself. You're in line with How Things Are Supposed To Be.
After being lost, sometimes for such a long time… you're BACK, baby.
And it feels so freaking good.

It's a shame that the Batten-Turner fight could not go ahead. Batten is an awesome fighter, but I think that it's the correct decision for the belt to be vacated as 6 years without any defence is just far too long.
Robbie Olivier would have been an excellent title challenger as well, however he must have his reasons for not wanting the fight, which could possibly have nothing to do with the opponent at all.
I'm sure there are plenty of fighters willing to fight Turner. Hell, David Galbraith just said he would give his right nut to fight him. So that's at least one person willing.
I look forward to hearing who will be challenging Turner for the CW title soon.

Name the first pulp magazine.
or first all fiction magazine (1896).

There is a war in process within Yemen that already has spilled over into Saudi Arabia and poses a great threat to peace in the area. A war within Yemen poses Shiites fighting against the Sunni Yemen government and its allies in Saudi Arabia. Rebels claim they are fighting against a government that has marginalized Shiites and has failed to develop the nation's resources. Yemen's army presently is engaged in extensive fighting with the rebels and there are reports al-Qaeda may soon become part of the mess that is Yemen. Across the Gulf of Aden lies Ethiopia and a short distance away in Somalia where there is also an intense civil war. Americans fail to realize the Yemen war can spill over into Saudi Arabia and some day witness bombers blowing themselves up as they damage oil facilities.
The mess now includes possible Iran influence by supplying rebels with arms, a fight between the Yemen government and rebels, a fight between rebels and Saudi Arabia, an attempt by rebels to destroy their nation's tourist industry by kidnapping foreigners, and the list goes on and on.
Who knows, perhaps in 2015, American soldiers will be fighting in the hills of Yemen. A problem is no one will have the slightest idea why US forces are in Yemen anymore than anyone has any idea what the US presently seeks to accomplish in Afghanistan.

"Doggy Doodles Adoptions Animal Rescue, founded in 2004, is solely made of volunteers who are dedicated to the rescue of the Homeless Pet Population. The members of our rescue believe the dogs deserve the right to love and be loved in return. We focus on educating our adopters and the community about spaying and neutering of animals, and why it is so critical for both the healthy life of animals, as well as to help reduce the number of overpopulated domestic animals in the U.S. We strive to find the best placement for our animals. We believe in a loving family environment and a life-long relationship. By fostering our dogs in our homes, we are able to understand their personalities more clearly, condition them to a family environment and match them with appropriate families, so the adoption will be a forever, happy and successful placement. We believe that not every pet is right for every family or environment; therefore, we strive to place our pets with applicants whom we feel would suit each animal best. We take these precautionary steps to attempt to ensure forever safety of each animal after their placement into their forever homes. We are an approved 501(c)3 charitable organization. "

Somewhere out there, Mullah Omar must be shaking his head.
In a Dilbert-esque faux pax, a Taliban spokesperson sent out a routine email last week with one notable difference.He publicly CC'd the names of everyone on his mailing list.
The names were disclosed in an email by Qari Yousuf Ahmedi, an official Taliban spokesperson, on Saturday. The email was a press release he received from the account of Zabihullah Mujahid, another Taliban spokesperson. Ahmedi then forwarded Mujahid's email to the full Taliban mailing list, but rather than using the BCC function, or blind carbon copy which keeps email addresses private, Ahmedi made the addresses public.
"Taliban have included all 4 of my email addresses on the leaked distribution list," tweeted journalist Mustafa Kazemi, a prolific Kabul-based tweeter with more than 9,500 followers. "Quite reassuring to my safety."Read More...

It's that time again for the Fall Classic, as the Texas Rangers and St. Louis Cardinals match up to take home the pennant. As a native of Dallas, I'll be cheering for my Rangers, but MLB deserves a massive applause for its use of social media this year. That's because the MLB hit a social media grand slam with the use of the "Fan Cave."
If you're new to baseball, this is an initiative that the MLB launched on the first day of the season. Two fans were selected to watch every single game of 2011. That's no small feat as their total has hit 2,429 games! But they've mixed in appearances by celebrity guests, and documented it all through blogs, video, Twitter and Facebook.
The success was immense. According to ESPN, the two celebrity couch potatoes have built a fan base of a combined more than 150,000 fans on Twitter, while also creating more than 300 blog posts and 200 videos (some of which have gone viral). Tweets about the Fan Cave were 45% positive which far exceeds the 15%-20% average.
Now those numbers sound great, but have they had an impact? Even if you ignore the fact that all the material that was created over the past year can be repackaged for further marketing material, there's a more tangible success. According to the ESPN article, the average baseball fan is 45 years old, but the average Fan Cave follower was 28. That's reaching a new market, and an impressive feat.
What can be learned from the Fan Cave's success? Here are three takeaways to keep in mind, when thinking up your next social media initiative:
- Use Engaging Personalities – The two fans picked to watch the games in the cave knew baseball, could speak and write baseball and people wanted to hear from them about baseball. That goes a long way in encouraging buzz. Assure your representative knows what he or she will be promoting because the fans can tell the difference
- Experiment – The content coming out of the Cave changed constantly as the MLB worked to find the right voice and encourage more fans. When they found something that people enjoyed, the Fan Cave team jumped on it to utilize the content, while looking for similar opportunities. That assures fresh, interesting material
- Fund It – Don't be afraid to put some money behind the campaign. While this largely used social media to continue the campaign throughout the year, the MLB had to fork up rent for a large studio in downtown New York City. They also paid the two fans for their "work" throughout the year. That can be pricey for social media, but if you ask the MLB, they would no doubt say it was worth it

After spending over two years putting my ROTJ SE together, with lots of breaks, losing and regaining interest, and a move from China to Sweden last year, leaving all my Boba stuff in boxes for some months, I finally got my act together and decided to finish this project.
I got myself a cheap mannequin, modified it a couple of nights ago, and put on all the pieces to see what it looked like. My wife freaked out seeing Fett in the living room the next morning (my son loved it though!) and I am not sure how long he will last. ;) He is not perfect, and likely has some inaccuracies but does the job of looking mean and intimidating!
My biggest thanks to DAZ for being a great guy with serious skills, providing many (most!) of my parts and his painting skills. :thumbsup Thanks also to 99centTaco, Batninja, Crazy4BobaFett, FettDad, Julie, Madmartigan, MoW, Omega Man, psberetta/serenity, RussRep, Sidewinder, Skygunbro, slave1pilot and TK409, who all offered parts or material in one way or another.
This site is a really cool place to be and has a lot of really talented people. Some of you have truly amazing costumes that I could only dream of owning! You've all been an inspiration and I've followed numerous threads these couple years, (but perhaps not as active in the discussions myself as I should've been).
Time to put away the tools, sewing machine, paints, fabrics and leftover material, at least until the family gets used to Fett and allows me to start my next project... Right, I still haven't painted the shin tools… and then there are upgrades.:p
Here are some snaps. Sorry about the poor quality. It was late at night and I was using a compact camera.

I'm a relatively new resident to Canada and am attempting to do my taxes solo this year. I would like some advice on RRSP contributions.
Firstly, I work as a contractor (full-time term employee) and as my employer does not make any RRSP payments, I'm left to do this myself. I have been told that contributions I personally make to my RRSP are tax free, as long as they do not exceed my RRSP deduction limit for 2010... plus an extra $2K. Is this correct?
(On a side note, I also have a registered small business I run on the side though my full time job is the main earner.)

Polish as you Go?
ok.. my dad was a plumber :D Anyway, it just occured to me. Why not polish my fuel as I motor around with my boat? Hook up a 2nd fuel pump and really really big filter to re-circulate and "polish" the fuel back to the tank?
need to stop thinking and do more sailing I know :p
I think you'll find some mentions of just that here in the forums. I'm pretty sure Ian does that, as well as some others.
That is basically what your engine is doing anyway... filtering and recirculating as it runs, same thing with all modern cars.
No reason not to... BTW, your engine really isn't polishing the fuel, since it doesn't have the volume to be properly polishing the fuel.

Mike Nolan lasted just one year as the Broncos' defensive coordinator under Josh McDaniels.
Nolan told the Denver Post that he and McDaniels agreed to end their working relationship following the Broncos' 8-8, non-playoffs finish. The Post said that Nolan resigned.
"I can't say anything other than Josh and I mutually agreed to part ways," Nolan told the Post.
Nolan, the former 49ers head coach, and McDaniels got off to a hot start with the Broncos. The team started 6-0 and surrendered just 16 points through its first three games. But the Broncos imploded down the stretch.
They lost their final four games and surrendered an average of 30.5 points per game in those four losses. But overall, the Broncos' defense improved from 29th in 2008 to seventh this season. -- Sean Leahy

Let's get started
Please enter your work or school account to get started.
Add a variety of UI elements to your app, and configure aspects of their appearance and behavior directly, from the toolbar, or in the formula bar. These UI elements are called controls, and the aspects that you configure are called properties.
Sign up for PowerApps, install it, open it, and then sign in by providing the same credentials that you used to sign up.
In PowerApps Studio, click or tap New on the File menu (near the left edge).
On the Blank app tile, click or tap Phone layout .
If you're prompted to take the intro tour, click or tap Next to get familiar with key areas of the PowerApps interface (or click or tap Skip).
You can always take the tour later by clicking or tapping the question-mark icon near the upper-right corner and then clicking or tapping Take the intro tour.
You can add any control in a variety of categories by clicking or tapping the Insert tab of the toolbar, clicking or tapping a category, and then clicking or tapping the control that you want. In this section, review the controls in each category to get familiar with the types of controls that you can add and where you might find each type.
On the Insert tab, click or tap any of these categories, and then click or tap the control that you want to add:
Text: Label, Text input, HTML Text, Pen input
Controls: Button, Drop down, Date picker, List box, Check box, Radio, Toggle, Slider, Rating, Timer
Gallery: Vertical, Horizontal, Flexible height, Blank vertical, Blank horizontal, Blank flexible height
Data table
Forms: Edit, Display, Entity form
Media: Image, Camera, Barcode, Video, Audio, Microphone, Add picture
Charts: Column chart, Line chart, Pie chart
Tip: If you need more space for controls, add another screen.
In this procedure, you'll add and configure a Label control, but you can apply many of the same principles to other controls.
Click or tap the Insert tab, and then click or tap Label.
When you add a control, it's selected by default. You can also select an existing control by clicking or tapping it. When a control is selected, a selection box surrounds it, and other areas of the UI change so that you can configure the selected control. For example, a selected Label control resembles this graphic.
Important: If a control is selected when you select another control or a blank area of the screen, the first element is no longer selected.
Make the Label control narrower by dragging a handle on the right edge of the selection box to the left. (The middle handle appears only if you zoom in.)
You can also resize a control by modifying its Height, Width, or both properties, as this topic describes later.
Move the Label control by dragging the selection box itself (or by modifying the X, Y, or both properties, as this topic describes later).
Triple-click the text that appears in the Label control, and then type Hello, world.
You can also modify this text by setting the Text property of this control, as this topic describes later.
Delete the Label control by clicking or tapping it and then pressing Delete.
Restore the Label control by pressing Ctrl-Z (or by repeating the first four steps in this procedure).
By configuring a control from the toolbar, you can specify a wider variety of options than you can by configuring a control directly.
With the Label control selected, click or tap the Home tab of the toolbar.
Click or tap Fill, and then click or tap a color such as aquamarine.
The Label control reflects your selection.
Change the font family and the size of the text (for example, to 18 pt. Georgia).
The Label control reflects your selection.
Click or tap the Label tab, click or tap VerticalAlign, and then click or tap Top.
The Label control reflects your selection.
By using the formula bar, you can set properties that you can't set directly or from the toolbar. For example, you can set a tooltip that appears when a user points to the control but doesn't click or tap it. You can also specify complicated formulas that increase the power of your app.
Each change that you made earlier in this topic updated the value of a property for the control that you configured.
Instead of configuring a control directly or from the toolbar, you can also update the value of a property by selecting it in the property list and then specifying a value in the formula bar. By taking this approach, you can search for a property alphabetically, and you can specify more types of values.
With the Label control selected, click or tap Text in the property list, and then type "My Company Name" (including the quotation marks) in the formula bar.
When you surround a string of text with quotation marks, you specify that it should be treated exactly as you typed it. As an alternative, you can set the value of a property to a formula.
With the Label control selected, click or tap Text in the property list, and then type Today() (without quotation marks) in the formula bar.
The control shows the current date.
Tip: You can format dates and times in various ways, in addition to performing calculations on them.
In this procedure, you'll add a check box and then configure the label that you already have to appear only when the check box is selected.
Click or tap the Insert tab.
Click or tap Controls, and then click or tap Check box.
Move the Check box control so that it appears below the Label control, and set the Text property of the Check box control so that Show text appears.
With the Check box control still selected, click or tap the Home tab.
Click or tap the current name of the Check box control (to the right of New screen), and then type MyCheckbox.
Click or tap the Label control to select it, click or tap the Label tab, and then click or tap the Visible option.
In the formula bar, delete true, and then type or paste this formula:
If(MyCheckbox.Value = true, true, false)
This If function states that the label should appear only when the check box is selected. Because the check box is cleared, the Label control disappears (except for the selection box).
Click or tap the Check box control to add the selection box to it, and then click or tap it again to add a check mark.
The Label reappears:
Clear the Check box control to hide the Label control.
This example is basic, but you can configure the behavior and appearance of your app by building one or more formulas from simple to complex.
By renaming a screen or control, you can build formulas that are easier to read and maintain.
Click or tap the screen or the control that you want to rename.
On the Home tab, click or tap the name of the control (to the right of New screen), and then type the name that you want.
You can find and select a screen or a control, even if it's hidden or overlaps with another control, by searching for it in the left-hand pane. This pane shows either a thumbnail of each screen in the app or a hierarchical view of each screen and the controls that it contains.
To switch between the thumbnails and the hierarchical view, click or tap an icon in the upper-right corner of the pane.
To find a control, type one or more characters to highlight the control names that contain the text that you typed.
If you click or tap a search result, you select that control in the app.
To move a screen up or down, duplicate it, delete it, or rename it, right-click it (or click or tap the ellipsis next to it), and then click or tap the option that you want.
To copy/paste a control, delete it, or rename it, right-click it (or click or tap the ellipsis next to it), and then click or tap the option that you want.

I took a tip from a handy little book called "Babushka's Beauty Secrets: Old World Tips For A Glamorous New You" by Raisa Ruder and Susan Campos. They've got tons of do-it-yourself beauty helpers for just about everything you can think of! For my sore feet, they suggested rubbing them with Vicks VapoRub and covering them in socks overnight. Well, I didn't have all night and couldn't bring myself to put my Vicks-covered feet in socks, so I wrapped them in clear plastic wrap instead to prevent a mess. I put my feet up, watched a movie and let the cooling sensation soothe my soles. By the time my movie was up, my feet were happy and so was I!

Have you tried changing your mac > deauthenticating identical MAC client > "whateveryouwantfromhere" ?
I have been working alot on once your into a network attacking the router or other comps. The first thing that I would attack if I was doing it would be the router to make it so they cant change any network settings or WEP/WPA keys. I have been able to brute force my router, but then I backed up a bit and turned on mac filtering allowing only my desktop and my gfs laptop to connect. I then tryed to spoof my desktop mac on my laptop. Now I can get the mac from my desktop easy with running airodump. Once I get it I reset my card off monitor mode and then in a shell I just use
macchanger --mac (spoofed desktop mac)
I then try to connect to my router but it wont connect still. Is the router not allowing me on because that mac is already on the network? Is there something that I might be doing wrong there? Thanks for any help.
Have you tried changing your mac > deauthenticating identical MAC client > "whateveryouwantfromhere" ?
"The goal of every man should be to continue living even after he can no longer draw breath."
no i have not done that. so for that just use
aireplay-ng -0 5 -a (desktop mac) eth1
Well prob more then 5 and then make sure I connect before the desktop trys to reconnect?
yes as you cant connect two identical mac's to the same ap!
"At least black people knew when they where slaves" Doug stanhope
Worked like a charm everyone thanks. Im posting right now off my spoofed desktop mac on my network. My desktop is freaking out because now it cant connect. I would close the post but I dont know how nor do I have the rights to do so. Not really sure but the post can be closed if anyone can do that thanks.

Arreola stops Abell in one
By Francisco Salazar and Felipe Leon at ringside
Photos by Big Joe Miranda
Former heavyweight title challenger Chris Arreola (30-2, 26 KOs) scored a first round TKO over Joey Abell (27-5, 26 KOs) on Friday night at the Pechanga Resort in Temecula, California. The bout was almost immediately waved off by referee Tony Crebs after Arrela staggered Abell with a big right hand. Time was 2:18. Arreola kissed Abell on the cheek as Crebs stepped in.
WBC #8, IBF #10 Josesito Lopez (29-3, 17 KOs) scored a seventh round KO over previously unbeaten jr welterweight Mike Dallas Jr (17-1-1, 7 KOs) in a clash for the NABF belt. Lopez overcame vertical cut from an unintentional headbutt and steadily roughed up and broke down Dallas, sending him to the deck as referee Raul Caiz Jr. waved it off. Time was 1:47.
Olympian super middleweight Shawn Estrada (11-0, 10 KOs) destroyed Jon Schmidt (10-2, 6 KOs) in a round one blowout. Estrada dropped Schmidt in the first ten seconds and floored him twice more before the carnage ended. Time was 1:48.

In a battle of unbeaten junior welterweights, Joseph Elegele (10-0, 8 KO's) scored a one-punch knockout over Manuel Aguilar in the first round of a scheduled six round bout. A counter right hook by the southpaw Elegele to the head dropped Aguilar (5-1, 4 KO's) to the canvas. Referee Tony Crebs counted Aguilar out at 2:18.
Junior Lightweight Kevin Hoskins (4-0, 3 KO's) won a close four round split-decision victory over Ramon Flores. Hoskins landed the more effective punches, but would leave himself open to be hit by the wild-swinging Flores (3-10-2, 3 KO's). Hoskins landed the more telling blows in the final round. One judge had Flores winning 39-37, but was overruled by the other two judges, who had Hoskins winning 39-37.
In a walkout bout, super flyweight Matthew Villanueva (5-0, 5 KOs) stopped Jose Luis Cardenas (5-11-1, 3 KOs) in two rounds. Villanueva floored Cardenas twice in opening round and finished him in the following stanza.

I missed the memo,when did winter storms start getting names?

I missed the memo,when did winter storms start getting names?
Last night we received 3 1/2 inches here my first snow fall in 16yrs, sat back with hot coco with a touch of cinnamon schnapps and the fire place going. Ah life is good
Noooooooooooooooo! Too much snow for November!
Glad you weren't hurt in your little spin around Spidey!
We haven't gotten any snow yet but according to the almanac it's going to be a very bad winter in my area with a lot of snow.
The year before last we got a couple of significant snows. One was 23" in 24 hours. :mad:
It wasn't too bad. First time I've ever gone in the ditch, though. The worst part was thinking "Dang it! I'm gonna have to get pulled out!" while I was spinning. Lol. Usually I'm the one pulling other people out. I was completely surprised when it drove right out.
Snow and ice can make anyone humble. Glad you're OK.
Our high tomorrow is 20.
I left northern Minnesota it 1978 and I do not miss the extremely cold temperatures. What I do miss is the snowbilling with friends. We used to take the kids out and have a picnic. We would remove the snow from a small area and build a fire and roast hot dogs and marshmallows. Ten months of winters and two months of bad sledding up there. Georgia's weather suits me better now.
was a frgid 52 this morning . brrrrrrr warming up to a cold 77 today , gonna be hard to survive.lol. on a serious side looks like you folks in the north and midwest are in for a early snowfall and winter se in. i salute you for braving the cold every year , i cant handle the cold weather like i used too but i know some of the most beautiful country is in montana, wyoming and the mid west
Wife had a couple meeting in Denver (we are on the western slope) so I went along just to check out some Military Surplus stores.
On the way home, just as we were getting up the eastern side of Vail Pass (10,662 feet) we hit the snow and traffic came to a stand still for about 20 min, it was snowing so hard visibility was only about 50 yards and in the 20 min we were stopped snow accumulated almost 1 inch on the top of the car. It was cold enough the ski slopes were making snow and the slopes with snow cannons were full.
Her next meeting in Denver is in JAN and I think for that I will take the F350 dully 4X4 with off road tires and put 1,000 pounds of sand in the back, might even pick up some chains.
Thanks for nothin'! You just reminded me of what that white stuff looks like. :mad:
We will get our snow soon enough here in PA.
I am not trying to rub any road salt into any cold weather wounds but TODAY we had the most glorious day here in Pennsylvania. The leaves were falling off the trees and it was sunny, not too warm & not too cool and was breezy.
I had a ton of work to do inside but, I shelved that and spent almost the entire day outside with the mutt. Walking, raking leaves, getting the yard ready for the abominable snowman to arrive.
It was a true Indian Summer day today. T-Shirt weather. But, I AM getting the snow thrower ready for the inevitable.
Greetings from Central Florida! no snow here!
Glad you are Ok. I had my fill of the white stuff when I was held prisoner of war on the North side of Boston one winter. To show how stupid I am, after I escaped that year I moved to Quebec Canada for a year.

such a good place to go if u want to meet people, i promise u will make soooo many friends, and everyone wants to be popular right! i didn't really like the catering although it was more social, the food was a bit nasty at times. only bad thing is that when the cold really hits (and i am a southern boy so not used to it) it is not a nice walk to lectures, but a nice big jacket and a wolly hat will sort you out a treat.
I am a third year student at Edinburgh Univeristy and have stayed in three different University accomodation flats. The first one was 39 South Clerk Street. This is a first year flat and has about 120 people in it. It consists of four person flats and six person flats, I stayed in the one of the bigger six person flats. the facilities are quite good, there is a laundrette, a bike shed (two actually) and a lift. Since the flat is on a main road there is no car parking. The flat itself wan't bad but it could have been a bit bigger. The kitchen and lounge are one big room but the space is not well used and it feels cramped when several people are trying to use the kitchen. The four person flats are more spacious for four people, the kitchen units are simply in a line down one side of the lounge. In the six person flats there are three bigger bedroom and three smaller ones. Since I was one of the last people into the flat I was left with one of the smaller rooms. It didn't bother me too much, it was a perfectly adequate size. There are two toilets, each with a shower cubicle. Unfortunately the showers run off the how water tank which meant that we were always running out of hot water. This may have changed however, it was over two years ago I stayed there. All the windows are double glazed and do an ok job of keeping the noise out. They do an excellent job at keeping the heat in, most of the time we kept the heaters in the lounge off as it was always warm. When I stayed in this building there were no locks on the individual doors which I didn't like, hopefully this is something that has been changed. Overall not a bad flat but nothing special. In second year I stayed at Sciennes 1. Sciennes (pronounced Sheens) is at the edge of the meadows and is a back road, and is therefore much quieter then the main road. Again I stayed ina six person flat, although this time the kitchen lounge was much bigger. The doors also h
ad individual locks which I was pleased to see. The showers were electri which was much better than in first year, I could have a hot shower anytime I wanted. The layout of this flat was quite strange, it was spread over four floors. At the bottom there were two bedrooms and a cupboard. On the second floor there was the front door, a bathroom and the kitchen/lounge. The third floor then had another two bedrooms and then the top floor had two bedrooms and another toilet. Out of the six bedroom, three are smaller and three are bigger. Since the rooms were individually assigned in order, I was allocated bedroom 6, since I came last. This was the biggest one which I was lucky to get. The smaller bedrooms are too small, my flatmates who stayed in them didn't like them very much. The flat isn't double glazed which meant that unless the heaters were kept high the flat lost its heat quickly. The phone in the flat is not a UNiversity one, just a BT one. I preferref having the Uni phone, no line rental and no problems sorting out calls. I ended up taking responsibiliy for the phone and I have regretted it ever since. Getting everyone to pay up wasn't easy. The facilities available at the flat are reasonably good, there is a car park, a good bike shed and a laundrette. There is no lifts however, which I sorely missed when moving in and out. Although this flat is University run it is privately owned which meant the rent was high, which is why I only stayed here for a year. Overall I liked this flat, although it didn't look very special. As with other University flats it had woodchip walls and unappealing hardwearing carpets. The kitchen had been refurbished and looked a lot better than the rest of the flat. This year I am staying at 5 Nicolson Street. There are a variety of flats but I am staying in a two person flat, I decided I wanted a quieter flat after two years in rather hectic 6 person flats. So far I really like the flat
, it is much better furnished than the previous years flats. the furniture isn't cheap stuff that looks about ten years old, the only problem I have with it is that there is too much of it! The kitchen has been recently refurbished so all the units look good. There is a fridge and a freezer as well as a cooker but no microwave. The carpet is also a proper carpet, not a cheap hard wearing one which makes the flat look much better. The windows have secondary glazing, the main windows are the old sliding type. These keep the noise out surprisingly well but unfortunately you can't clean as with modern windows. The windows also do an excellent job of keeping the heat in, the flat is always warm. The bedrooms aren't huge but are a perfectly acceptable size. There is no lift or car parking but there is a laundrette and a bike shed. The bike shed is a big disappointment. For starters it is difficult to get to, down a floor of stairs, down a few more and then you are finally there. This is fine for walking but annoying for hauling a bike up and down. The bike shed is small and difficult to get a bike into. I had my first bike stolen during freshers weeks, the lock has been changed on the bike shed and so far there have been no more thefts. If you cycle a lot it may be worth looking elsewhere. I have to admit I can put up with it, it's just a shame when the rest of the flat is so good. The flat is supposed to have 'resnet' this is a system where you are supposed to get University network access in your room. I bought a compuer for this but unfortunately it hasn't been installed and doesn't look like it will in the near future. The rent is very reasonable (it includes £90 for resnet) as this is a good flat. I am very pleased with it and will hopefully stick with it next year. A final note on Edinburgh University Accomodation services, their accounts department is appalling. They owe me £90 and despite me trying to
get it back for the last six 8 months I still don't have it. If it wasn't for the fact that I want to stay in Uni accomodation I would go private as the accounts department is useless
I was in Pollock halls in my 1st year and if you can you should definitely try and get into halls rather than University accommodation. There are some good accommodation places like Scheens and Hermits Croft, but the main disadvantage is that you don't to choose who you get stuck with, and you meet far less people than in halls. I met people in the 2nd year that literally only knew 2-3 people because they were in University accommodation. It doesnt matter which house you go into in Pollock they are all the same, except Masson which has double beds for what I have no idea.
Pollock is the name for the Halls of Residence, and apart from the v.v.v.odd one here or there it is pretty much only 1st year students who live here. I graduated from Edinburgh a year ago, so my Pollock days were a good 5 years ago and I'm sure it will have changed a great deal (for the better). Pollock consists of a number of houses (10 or so), grouped together with a big building in the middle which has the dining room, shop (newsagent-type) and bar for all to use. It houses 2000 or so (about half of the 1st year students). It's a healthy walk from Pollock to uni', so if you could seriously reject a place to live based on one place being 2 minutes closer walk (which can be quite a long time when it hits below 0 temperature!), then there's flats nearer to the university. My only real advice is, if you have an en-suite room you'll be living extremely well, because all the en-suite rooms are in the newly renovated houses. When I was there Masson and Holland house were the only refurbished houses (re-carpeted, good plumbing and heating -new and clean-looking. Needless to say I lived in neither one!). Masson house had a double bed in each room with an en-suite bathroom (so this would be 'top' choice for anyone). Holland had single bed rooms with en-suite shower rooms (no room for complaint!). All of the other houses were pretty horrid. The buildings inside, looked very much like hospitals inside...totally bland, dark, nothing particularly great. The rooms were tiny (but you make do) and the beds...no joke, were about one half of a single bed in size (so the Holland house single beds felt like double beds compared to this!)...and of course, one or 2 showers (maybe a bath too)along the corridor for everyone to share. Pollock is the easiest way to meet people. When 2000 of you are put together and everyone eats at the dining room together etc... meeting and getting to know people quickly is automatic.
On the other hand, it is not homely at all. It's very much like a bed-sit and that's all your space. Although there's 'some' facilities, like a mini-kitchen etc...you don't really have anywhere to relax like you would at home -in front of the TV and slouch around (apart from the huge communal room which was pretty much an empty room with rickety chairs and an old TV in the room). So...if you really have no qualms about the lifestyle, Pollock is perfectly good. The alternative type of accommodation (aside from those who live in Edinburgh or already have private accommodation organised) is to live in university flats... there's different blocks of apartments dotted around Edinburgh. Here there may be 4 or 5 of you living together and you don't get to pick who you live with... on your application you give some details about yourself and then it's pot-luck. (Although 1 or 2 people always manage to change if they are utterly miserable...but it's hard to do and rare for it to happen, so don't count on it!). Also, it's highly unlikely you'll be put in with friends from school etc... This is how it worked out for me: Pollock was great for the 1st term...you're meeting everyone, you're out all the time, despite the food not being brilliant you don't starve 'cos you get fed etc... so you're literally using your room to sleep and that's it! By the end of the 1st term most people have developed groups of friends etc so that 'necessity' to meet and greet everyone starts to die down (that's not to say there's less amounts of partying). It's the 2nd term in Scotland...the cold begins to kick in quite hard, and generally you start to feel like you'd quite like some more homely comforts around you... you get a bout of flu or something and it would be kind of nice to have a flat-mate around who you know is going to come by and maybe pick something up for
you on the way home... rather than being in a poky room waiting for a good mate to come by etc. I'll be honest... there's always a good mate, but there's also 1st year...which as everyone know is about packing in as much fun, going mental, mad, getting as drunk as possible etc, so as a result the attitude is kind of selfish and no-one really looks out for anyone too much. Despite some of my personal complaints (all of which are probably irrelevant now as most houses have been refurbished), I actually don't know if I'd have had a better time in a flat than in Pollock or not. If go to Pollock, take this advice: 1) If it costs more, pay it, but 'please' go to a refurbished house and not an old pokey one (it is definitely worth it (Apply early!). 2) I wouldn't recommend the self-catering houses for 1st year students. There's only one or 2, and for some reason they are the least social of all the houses because the dining room is one of the major meeting places. Also, it tends to be occupied by few non-1st year students in Pollock (mature students etc...).
The University only guarantees accommodation for first year students. The accommodation service is responsible for housing (http://www.accom.ed.ac.uk) and they will either be put into self-catering University flats or into the Halls of Residence known as Pollock. Pollock is continually undergoing improvements and around one quarter of the rooms are now en-suite, your rent includes breakfast and dinner on weekdays, with lunch thrown in at weekends. If you stay in Pollock, you will probably have to totally vacate your rooms during the holiday periods when they are rented to visitors. After first year, most students will branch off into privately owned accommodation. There is a wide variety available with rents ranging from £150 pcm to £300pcm. Expect on average to pay around £230pcm. There are several parts of town that have proved popular with students: New Town with its Georgian architecture, Marchmont, Morningside and Newington. Where you live may be determined by where you'll be studying. Arts and Science at Edinburgh are on different campuses; the trek from New Town to King's Buildings (Science) can be lengthy. Utilities will set you back around another £20-40 per month, (heating can be expensive – Edinburgh gets cold). As students, you are entitled to exemption on council tax, but be warned, should a resident of the property become employed the whole flat becomes liable for tax (rates vary according to numbers in work). A few students buy their properties outright, though numbers have dropped recently as mortgage rates have risen. Edinburgh has plenty of student accommodation, most agencies and landlords will be looking to rent from June/July; others prefer to rent their properties out during the festival (see fringe guide) so a lease from September for nine months is to be expected. Good Luck.

The latest report from the ITU-T Technology Watch series surveys some of the hottest developments in the world of video games, describes the most common gaming platforms and terminals, highlights new technologies enabling a better gaming experience, and identifies future standardization activities.
Over the past 30 years, video games have become an important part of contemporary global entertainment and media. Games and gaming have evolved from dedicated, single-game units to massively multiplayer online role-player games with millions of players. Today they are a huge media business worth billions of dollars, and its bestsellers continuously beat blockbuster movies in sales revenue.
The ever increasing expansion of the Internet has significantly contributed to the growth of gaming on dedicated video game consoles and PCs. The possibility to compete with other players around the world is taken for granted by most players. Mobile broadband and the growing penetration of smartphones brings further movement into the gaming ecosystem. Independent developers and small start-up companies are able to compete in the market and deliver their games to huge audiences. The latest step is the rise of social network games on platforms with hundreds of millions of users. These transformations have not only changed the way games look today, they have also influenced the audience and the business models of the gaming industry.
Consumers are beginning to struggle with the ever-increasing number of set top-boxes, satellite receivers and gaming consoles. It is a logical and certainly desirable goal to integrate these closely related technologies on to a multipurpose , standards-based multimedia platform. Incorporating a variety of audiovisual technologies into a single 3D TV device is understandably a task demanding a great degree of standardization work. ITU will bring together service and content providers, including games developers, to attempt to standardize communication protocols, toolboxes, middleware and security frameworks.
The report and additional sources of information are available at http://www.itu.int/en/ITU-T/techwatch/Pages/video-games-standards.aspx.
Experts from industry, research and academia are invited to submit topic proposals and abstracts for future reports in the Technology Watch series. Please contact the team at email@example.com for details.

What is it like to study chemical engineering at MIT? Well, if you've heard that the work is hard, that's quite true. But if you've heard that the atmosphere is cheerless and cut throat, that's very false. You'll find that your fellow students are far more collaborative than competitive. You'll also find that there are a lot of fun and exciting things to do outside the classroom and lab.

Dunkin Donut Waffle Breakfast Sandwich
February 25th, 2009 1 comment
Dunkin Donut has a new breakfast sandwich: the Waffle Breakfast Sandwich. It's two oven toasted waffles with a hint of maple syrup with fluffy scrambled egg, crispy cherrywood smoked bacon and melted american cheese. I pass by DD around my work place once in awhile and have been tempted to try one from the big poster ad they have there. They finally got me today. I couldn't resist the yummy looking waffles today. What do I think of it?

German Shepherd Dog Forums (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/)
- Health Issues (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/health-issues/)
- - Grapes ?!?!?!? (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/health-issues/432289-grapes.html)
Grapes ?!?!?!?
I have been down with "the" flu since Friday. Found out last night throug casual conversation that while I was in a fog my dog got into a bowl full of grapes that was left on the coffee table and ate most of them. So my mom , who was here helping , gave him some more since he loved them and they are sooo healthy :shocked:
I called the vet and they said if they were going to be an issue they would have by now..no runs , no ill effects , no vomiting..he is peeing like a racehorse as per usual. Absolutely nothing even off about him .
The vet said only some dogs are effected by grapes and they are not sure why? I thought they were fatal. I do not keep grapes or raisins in the house for that reason ( my mom did shopping for me and bought them for my son who loves fruit even more than any kind of candy).
Reading up on it I see that only 1/3 of dogs who eat grapes will have an issue and that is only documented from 1989 and on? Weird. They think it is a reaction to a fungus or pesticide maybe?
In any event I wont be testing it again and will put a list of no no foods on the fridge for dogs next time I am incapacitated .
Oh , and my mother said she always gave our dogs grapes as treats..I do kind of remember that. Strange.
21 Attachment(s)
No, there is something in the skin.
It really depends on the size of the dog, and the amount of grapes he took down. I see your dog is almost one year old. So I'll assume about 70+ lbs. Although grapes could have an ill effect, I believe that your dog would need to consume A LOT of grapes for them to be fatal. You might have a little stomach discomfort, so just watch him.
If by now nothing has happened, you're probably in the clear of any major issues.
Just a quick wikipedia search with references at bottom
Grape and raisin toxicity in dogs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I will not recommend continuing feeding grapes to your dog though, as from what I under stand, the grapes harm the kidneys. I assume this could be a slow process where the effect eventually adds up, damaging the kidney.
One thing that I would caution is your note about the peeing like a race horse. This could be a sign of trouble if he is peeing too much. He could be taking in more water and peeing more to flush whatever toxins are ingested from the grapes. I'm not saying this is the case either just a heads up. If the grapes are a cause of excessive urination, this overworking of the kidneys is not good.
Again, I offer all this as opinion. I have no medical background, I only have a minor in chemistry which involved some biochem.
No one on here can tell you for sure that the grapes will or will not harm your dog. Your best bet is to avoid them, and not stress if he gets a couple here or there. Mostly just be vigilant.
get blood work done
Unless the dog starts vomitting, showing signs of weakness or any other symptoms you can find on the wiki, blood work is not needed.
would show kidney damage if present
kidney damage if mild may not be obvious at first
The peeing is his normal level of pee :) He is Raw fed and does not drink excessive water.
Everything with him is just as usual , vet said nothing to do. That the toxicity would have reared its head within 48 hours ((shrugs)) He said most dogs are simply unaffected while others dogs , regardless of size , can eat a handful of grapes and go down from it.
Well , I have a list for each kid on the inside of our cabinets ..what they eat , their activities , where their stuff is , bedtimes , etc .For the dogs I just have basic instructions like feeding times and how often they need to go out . It has not been updated since back when they were on kibble.
So I went ahead and did a thorough note for them too.Nobody knew "how " to feed them , to defrost stuff , and so on. My husband did ok with the feeding and walking , but there is now a red list of common items that are dangerous for dogs.
I started asking around and it seems plenty of people do not know about grapes ,onions . They know about chocolate ..but not other less publicized toxins.
And for some reason there is a prevailing myths that dogs cant have turkey?!?!?

Tom Brady London Fletcher Hit Video: Watch Most Controversial Penalty of SeasonDecember 11, 2011
The terrible penalty called on Washington Redskins linebacker London Fletcher for a good hard hit on New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady on Sunday proves why people call the NFL the "No Fun League."
The NFL might as well have quarterbacks wear special colored jerseys letting people know you cannot hit them, because any time you tackle a quarterback with any kind of power, there is a good chance a flag is coming.
It is embarrassing that Fletcher was called for a penalty on this play.
I get that quarterbacks are the cornerstones of franchises, but the protection these guys have is just silly.
See a forearm to the head? Neither do I. Apparently that's what the referee saw.
What I did see was a solid hard tackle on Brady, who was not even on the ground yet when Fletcher made contact.
What was Fletcher supposed to do, let Brady run however far he wants? Heightened player safety is needed in today's game because players are faster and stronger than ever, but calling penalties on plays like this takes it way too far.
Not only does Fletcher not have a history of dirty play, he is a highly respected veteran who plays the game hard. He sets the tone for the Redskins defense with his spirited play and does not go out and try to hurt guys.
Teammate Santana Moss seemed particularly infuriated. Via Grant Paulsen of 106.7 The Fan, Moss said:
"We gotta play against the team and the refs. It's like that."
Another bad part of this blown call is that the referees talked about the play and the call was still made. None of these guys saw that it was not a dirty play? That's pretty weak.

"Some of the junior staff have finally been paid (their dues). But they have received only one month basic salary," an airline staffer said.
The payment to the staff comes after the Kingfisher Airlines Chairman Vijay Mallya assured his employees that they would be paid their dues soon.
The Kingfisher employees had earlier threatened to go on a strike if the management failed to pay their dues by Tuesday. The plan was, however, withdrawn following the staff meeting with Vijay Mallya.
Mallya had promised to pay the junior staff their dues by Apr 4, and engineers and pilots by Apr 10.
Debt-ridden Kingfisher failed to pay its staff earlier after its bank accounts were frozen as it failed to pay Rs 70 crore debt that it owed to the I-T department.

Steel Valley Authority is the nationally recognized leader in layoff aversion, responsible investment and innovative economic policy. Our mission is contributing to renewed prosperity and sustainable communities through our expertise and continued innovation in job saving and capital strategies.
Fish Tales
Sunday, June 5, 2011
It is not unusual to hear politicians talk about teaching people to fish. As the adage goes, if you give people fish, they can eat for only a day but if you teach them to fish, they can eat for life. This fishing analogy, which really is about providing jobs, succinctly embodies the economic policy of many of its proponents.
And the focus on job creation is surely a lofty goal. The addition of even a few new jobs to any politician's district is cause for a news conference in these tough times. But saving jobs that are already there hardly ever gets the attention it deserves. And that's where the Steel Valley Authority makes its entrance.
Formed in 1986, the SVA originally focused on a handful of communities that were hit especially hard by the collapse of Big Steel in and around Pittsburgh. Fighting the crushing tide of plant closings, the authority had enough early successes to be asked to expand its efforts into Allegheny County, then the region and, eventually, the entire commonwealth.
As Tom Croft, the executive director says: "We have been successful at the ground level, focusing on production-, management- or union-related problems. Our mission is to save viable companies and jobs."
The Strategic Early Warning Network (SEWN) was designed by the SVA in collaboration with the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry. It provides enough lead time, through a number of team members, to allow the authority's management experts to catch a struggling company and turn it around before it goes belly up.
At the first sign of trouble in a company -- or within 48 hours of a WARN notice, the federal requirement that workers get a 60-day notice prior to a plant closing or mass layoff -- the SVA team starts working to bring public and private resources to bear to avoid the shutdown. This consulting service, part of a comprehensive layoff-aversion strategy, is free to the manufacturer.
In the last five years, 3,625 jobs have been saved through the efforts of SEWN at a cost of $3.7 million, or about $1,000 per job. Using a low-ball figure of $25,000 each, it would have cost $90.5 million to create that many new jobs. And the topper is that by saving those existing jobs, nearly $19 million in unemployment compensation was saved.
This strategy makes sense in other areas as well. Instead of throwing lawbreakers in jail -- essentially paying for intensive care for every one of them regardless of the crime they committed -- it would be cheaper and safer and more efficient to treat them before they are incarcerated. Jail can be reserved for the worst.
And wellness policies that provide sufficient money to keep Pennsylvania residents healthy make a lot more sense than the illness-based policies that are dragging society down. It costs more to treat people who have been allowed to get unhealthy than it would have cost to keep them healthy.
If Pennsylvania is to save its citizens and be saved, it must acknowledge that it is far cheaper to keep people off the unemployment line or out of prison or in good health than it is to address their plight after the harm has been done. Read entire article

Escape The Fate Writing With Patrick Stump
Another day goes by, another Patrick Stump collaboration is revealed. The latest news is that Escape The Fate frontman Craig Mabbitt has tweeted to say that they're writing a song together.
It's currently unclear whether the "jam" is being used for his Mabbitt's solo project or for his post-hardcore band Escape The Fate. One thing's for sure however is that this musical hook-up has caused some shocked emoticons on Twitter, and appears to have confused @JohnFeldy too, who took to the internet to beg Patrick Stump not to "quit". "Quit" what exactly wasn't specified (although somebody might want to tell him that P-Stump's quit the web already) but perhaps he wants Stump to return to the studio with The King Blues who Feldmann has been producing.
What do you think of the idea of Patrick Stump's latest collaboration?
Which are you most excited to hear – his work with Kat Graham, The King Blues or Escape The Fate?
EDIT: It is now official that this collaboration is for Escape The Fate's new album (not Craig Mabbitt's solo album) after new ETF bassist TJ Bell tweeted the following:
