Samsung Vibrant (T-Mobile)
REVIEW DATE : July 22, 2010
PROS: Fast. 1-GHz processor handles graphics well. Bright screen. PC syncing options. Great photos and videos. Free, full copy of Sims 3 included.
The Samsung Vibrant is easily the best smartphone for T-Mobile, and it's a super-phone on par with the rest of the major carriers' offerings. This bright, entertaining Android-powered device is a great platform for Web surfing, movie-watching, and enjoying life online. All of these factors have also made the Vibrant our new Editors' Choice for T-Mobile smartphones, and one of the Phones With the Best Battery Life.
T-Mobile was the first carrier to get a Google Android phonethat would be the T-Mobile G1 ($179, )but their unfortunate dalliance with Google on the doomed Nexus One () left them without a high-end Android phone for a while. Nonetheless, they've been getting along with several good midrange Android phones and the HTC HD2 ($199.99-449.99, ), which has terrific hardware but a dead-end Windows Mobile OS.
Enter the Samsung Vibrant. The Vibrant is part of Samsung's Galaxy S lineup, a sextet of Android super-phones scheduled to appear on six different U.S. carriers over the next few months. The Vibrant was released within days of the Samsung Captivate ($199.99-499.99, ), AT&T's finest Android phone. T-Mobile's entry is similar to but different from its AT&T-based sibling.
Hardware and Phone Performance
Under the hood, the Vibrant has Samsung's ARM Cortex-A8-class 1 GHz Hummingbird processor, which promises improved graphics performance over competing devices. Our benchmarks agreed. On four publicly available benchmarks (BenchmarkPi, Softweg, CaffeineMark, and Linpack) Hummingbird came out faster than the Qualcomm Snapdragon in competing phones like the HTC Incredible ($299.99, ) and HTC EVO 4G ($299.99, ), and neck-and-neck with the TI OMAP chip in the Motorola Droid X ($299.99, ). In Qualcomm's Neocore graphics benchmark, the Hummingbird really flew. Most Android phones get 24 to 32 frames per second on Neocore; the Droid X gets 44.4. The Vibrant zipped through 55.4 frames per second, promising a top-notch gaming and video experience.
The Vibrant connects to T-Mobile's and foreign 3G networks, as well as to 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi networks. The phone also has Bluetooth 3.0, which sounds exciting but doesn't offer any real-world advantages over version 2.1 of Android. Unlike AT&T's Captivate, the Vibrant doesn't work as a PC modem.
The Vibrant, like the Captivate, is a decent but not extraordinary voice phone. RF reception is average; the phone has a tendency to display fewer bars of signal than competing devices, but that didn't seem to affect its ability to complete calls. Sound in the earpiece is excellentloud and clear, and the speakerphone is also loud and sharp. But transmissions through the microphone, while they lack background noise thanks to the Audience voice processor, sounded hollow and echoey at times. The Vibrant paired easily with our Aliph Jawbone Icon ($99, ) Bluetooth headset, but couldn't do voice dialing over Bluetooth. That's annoying.
Battery life was very good, with more than seven hours of talk time and more than a day and a half of average use. The power-sipping Super AMOLED screen probably helps contribute to the relatively long battery life.
Software and Media Performance
The Vibrant has an unusual range of text-entry modes. There are two different styles of touch keyboard, two (slow but entertaining) handwriting recognizers, a T9 keypad if you want really large buttons, and Swype. It's good to have options, and one of these will fit you.
Samsung's home screen widgets are a notch below HTC's but better than stock Android. The Twitter and Facebook widgets are largely useless because they don't auto-update more than once an hour; nobody wants hours-old Tweets. But the Rolodex-style graphical buddy list is quite nice, and Daily Briefing combines weather, stocks, and news.
T-Mobile added some software but kept things pretty low-key. Unlike on the Captivate, for instance, you can side-load apps that aren't downloaded from the Android Market. T-Mobile also included a full copy of the movie "Avatar" and, awesomely, a copy of Sims 3. The Sims 3 game may be the best program I have ever seen a carrier pre-load on a phone. It's a real 3D game that takes full advantage of the Hummingbird processor, and it's a full copy, not a teaser. T-Mobile's TeleNav GPS program gives driving directions for $2.99/monthmore expensive than Google's free beta navigation system (also included), but far cheaper than AT&T's $9.99/month AT&T Navigator.
The Vibrant is T-Mobile's best phone for media. The phone ships with a somewhat mysterious stub for Samsung Media Hub, a promised music-and-movie store which will have big-name content when it launches later this summer. You don't need Media Hub to enjoy the full media experience here, though it does help to have a Windows PC, not a Mac, as the Vibrant's syncing software only runs on PCs. In fact, I couldn't even get my Vibrant to show up on a Mac in Mass Storage mode (although it showed up on two Windows machines just fine.)
There's a lot of room for media on here: 16GB of internal memory, plus a slot behind the back cover for a microSD card up to 32GB. Our Vibrant came with a 2GB card installed, and our 16GB SanDisk card worked fine.
You have two ways to sync media to the Vibrant, other than dragging and dropping. The phone syncs perfectly with Windows Media Player, but there's also Samsung Kies, a very rich Windows-based app which lets you sync calendars and contacts locally with Outlook, upload and download your messages and media to the phone, and reformat videos so they can be played properly.
Samsung's hacked Android music player is a major improvement over Google's original, adding some visual effects, an equalizer, and a Cover Flow-like album art display to the usually dull Android music player. T-Mobile also includes Slacker, which is otherwise a free download.
Even without reformatting through Kies or WMP, the Vibrant plays an unusually wide range of video formats. Along with the usual standard-def MPEG4 and WMV video, I was pleasantly shocked to find that H.264/AAC and XVID videos played, even high-def 720p files, and that there seemed to be an option for simulated 5.1 surround sound.
Camera and Conclusions
The Samsung Vibrant is a great Android phone for T-Mobile users. It's an especially compelling device when you consider T-Mobile's inexpensive service plans: pay for your phone up front or on a monthly installment plan, and you can get 1000 minutes plus unlimited messaging and Web for only $69.99. That's an amazing $35/month savings over the competing AT&T plan$840 over two years.
The T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide ($179.99-429.99, ), BlackBerry 9700 ($199.99, ), and Nokia E73 Mode ($69.99-299.99, ) remain good alternatives for folks looking for physical keyboards, and the myTouch 3G Slide runs most of the same apps as the Vibrant. But none of those phones have the Vibrant's amazing screen or media abilities. The HTC HD2 does, but we just can't recommend Windows Mobile 6 phones any more. That makes the Vibrant the best buy and our Editor's Choice for a T-Mobile smartphone.

Ice maker crushed only
My samsung counter depth side by side has quit giving cubes When set for cubes it gives crushed. Gives crushed when set on crushed and gives water when set for water Where do I start?
take out the ice bucket, empty it and run hot water through it. It may have gotten jammed or just iced up. try that and report back
Thanks. I'll try that next week (the fridge is at my lake cottage)
Thawed/ran warm water thru bucket. Problem persists
I have a similar problem with my GE. it is a mixed batch of creushed and cubes I get though. According to the manual, they say it is notrmal to get some crushed in the cube seting. Still, I will be looking for a model that can get it right when I go looking again.
I'd like to resurrect/update this thread. Since last posting the problem has evolved to no response when pushing button at all. No water or ice. Icemaker still making ice. Any thoughts?
Originally your problem was the solenoid that controls the cube setting. Now, your problem is also that the motor took a ****.
You have two separate problems here, is your maker in the door or in the back of the freezer? Since you are not getting anything I would be looking at the actuator switch first. I'm sure you already checked but is the dispenser lock on??
The ice maker is in the freezer but dispenses thru the door. I have checked and the dispense lock is not on. I guess the next step is to get at the switch and test it with my meter?
yeah, ohm the actuator switch first

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I am a shareholder of a company that a friend and I started. We added on a 3rd equal partner who along with my friend have been making some bad financial decisions. I voiced my opinion on several occasions and then one day my friend came to me saying the other partner who is also the President no longer needs my services and I should turn over all passwords, logins, etc.. to the company. Can they do this? I am the COO and Secretary of the corporation.
Well, I handle litigation like this all the time, and the answer is anything but simple.
If you don't have an employment contract (or belong to a union) normally employment in this state is "at will" meaning you can be fired for any reason or no reason (but not an improper reason like belonging to a protected class, e.g. race, religion, etc.)
An exception is "employment 'coupled with an interest' (meaning stock or LLC membership ownership" Those rules become very complex very quickly.
Among other things a lawyer will be looking at is your bylaws or Operating Agreement.
I urge you to get a lawyer early, not later.
The above is general legal and business analysis. It is not "legal advice" but analysis, and different lawyers may analyse this matter differently, especially if there are additional facts not reflected in the question. I am not your attorney until retained by a written retainer agreement signed by both of us. I am only licensed in California. See also avvo.com terms and conditions item 9, incorporated as if it was reprinted here.Ask a similar question
You can be terrminated notwithstanding the fact that you are the CO and the Secretary of the company. California is an at will state, which means any employee who does not have an emplyment agreement can be termainted at the will of the employer
The real questions are what are your rights now? You have rights as a shareholder. You have rights as an Officer, You have rights as Director. You alsohave right rights as an employee if you were wrongfully terminated. You need to seek a consult with an attorney that represents clients in shareholder disputes, employment litigation, and corporate law.
Good luck!

I join Mr. Doland in recommending that you contact an attorney, soon.
Disputes between shareholder-employees of a corporation can quickly get out of hand, and are often very contentious. As also noted, you have rights with respect to the corporation based on your status as a shareholder, and I would be surprised if you were not also a director, but an attorney will need to review your company's records, including by-laws, minutes of actions, and any shareholders' agreement before being able to provide you with any concrete advice.Ask a similar question
Yes, I am 1 of directors and the secretary of the corporation. Just this morning they sent me an email advising me that they had a shareholder meeting and have removed me as secretary because they claim I am blocking the company from doing business by changing passwords which I have not done. They will be sending a certified copy of the meeting. I believe it only takes 2 votes to remove one person. They are asking me to sign a "Request to Surrender work Product and Property" before I can take my personal belongings from the office. I am not sure I should sign this and I do not have funds available to see an attorney. Everything I have is in the office and in my email which they have control of. Can they claim additional things against me and try to remove me as a shareholder? We have no shareholder agreement in place.

Piper Jaffray Maintains Overweight on New Oriental Education during SEC Investigation
Piper Jaffray has published a research report on New Oriental Education (NYSE: EDU) and commented on the company's weak 4Q earnings and SEC investigation.
In the report, Piper Jaffray wrote, "New Oriental reported its seasonally weak 4Q12 (May) with revenue better than Street expectations, while GAAP EPS missed by a penny on higher operating expenses due to the company's continued rapid learning center expansion. While 1Q13 (Aug) revenue guidance bracketed expectations, FY13 GAAP net income guidance of 22%-25% y/y was well below our 32% y/y expectation amid slowing growth in Beijing and Shanghai (37% of revenue), continued rapid learning center expansion, and expected lack of RMB currency translation benefit."
On the SEC investigation, Piper Jaffray wrote, "New Oriental announced the SEC issued a formal investigation concerning "whether there is a sufficient basis for the consolidation of Beijing New Oriental Education & Technology (Group) Co., Ltd., a VIE of the company, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, into the company's consolidated financial statements. No additional information concerning the SEC investigation was disclosed by the company."
Piper Jaffray maintained its Overweight rating and $37 price target on New Oriental Education, which is trading down 28 percent from yesterday's $22.26 closing price.

Setting global graphics options
I have converged to a set of graphics options with respect to frames, labels, fonts etc, that I use very often. How can I set up Mathematica to load my options at launch time? I know I can use SetOptions but I would have to execute this command each time I launch Mathematica. Is there a way to set these options in the preferences somewhere? I looked under Format/Option Inspector but could not identify an appropriate option.

The Long Way Home: Hacking Your Commute When Cars Just Aren't Enough
Brian Croxall has described on Profhacker how he hacked his 120 mile drive between home and campus, finding ways to make his commute both less painful and more productive. Two hours of driving each way pushes at the outer limits of sanity, but many academics have similar commutes or even longer. It might be family reasons, geographic preferences, or of course the current academic job market, but it seems that every department has at least one faculty member whose commute is so long that a car just isn't enough.
I happen to be one of those faculty. For several years now I have flown twice a week, leaving home early Tuesday morning and flying back late Thursday night. About 400 miles separate work from home. And no matter how many audiobooks I could consume, if I had to make the six hour drive (each way) every week, I would go crazy. Or worse, as this sign at a rest stop on I-81 cheerily reminded me on one of the rare occasions that I drove:
So I fly, every week, and I know I'm not alone. I'd like to start a discussion, then, about how to turn what at first might seem a high-flying glamorous jet-setting lifestyle but in fact is a series of ritual humiliations, odious aggravations, and expensive vagabondages into a commute that is at least tolerable and ideally, even worthwhile.
For this post at least, I'll set aside the more complicated issues that arise with long distance commuting—for example, how to be a part of campus life or how to survive the stress it places on relationships—and focus on the nuts and bolts of the commute itself. Much of what follows could apply to less frequent travel, such as to professional conferences, as well.
In logistical terms, long distance commutes hit us in two places: time and money. Neither of which most academics can afford to spare. After racking up several tens of thousands of frequent flier miles, though, I have a learned few lessons.
The first has to do with those very same frequent flier miles. You've signed up for an account, right? With the airline you use most? I feel foolish even asking, but I suppose there's someone out there who might not like the idea of an airline tracking every trip. Well, they do it anyway, so you might as well sign up.
Second, don't simply sign up for the frequent flier account, get the airline's credit card too. Unlike most Visas or MasterCards, there's usually an annual fee associated with airline-issued cards, but in exchange you earn mileage for all of your purchases (and often, double mileage for buying the airline's tickets with the card). I once scoffed at the notion of paying $79 every year for my US Airways MasterCard, but I've found that it pays for itself several times over. I'm able to redeem my mileage for at least several round-trip tickets each year. (Too bad I use those free tickets to fly back and forth from work rather than to, say, Spain.) I also get "priority boarding" which isn't as exciting as it sounds, and occasionally—just occasionally—a free upgrade to First Class, which is as exciting as it sounds.
Third, know when to buy your tickets. There's no way for me to statistically prove this, but I've decided that the best airfare prices are on Tuesday evenings. After you've been tracking ticket prices long enough, you'll develop your own sense of what's a bargain. And when you find that bargain—again, likely on a Tuesday night—buy as many of the tickets as you can afford. I need a round-trip ticket for nearly every week of the semester, but even if you return home less frequently, it's worth buying the tickets in bulk when you find a good fare.
That takes care of the money side of things. Honestly, I wish I had better tips about saving money, but if you commute by plane regularly, you know there's no cheap way to do it. You can't even write it off on your taxes. (Your travel from home to your place of primary employment is not deductible. Believe me. Really, take my word for it.)
How about ways to make the time you spend commuting by plane more efficient? Or more productive? Or at least, less soul-crushing?
This tip sounds quite mundane, but I've learned that routine, routine, routine is key. For example, I park in the same general spot every week in the long-term parking. Knowing that my car can always be found within 50 feet of Shelter 11 in the Blue Lot means that I have one less thing to remember.
I also sit in the same area of the airplane every week. Assuming you don't get that First Class upgrade, find your usual plane's sweet spot. If you're in the very front rows, the overhead compartments fill up too quickly. If you're in the rear, it takes forever to get off the plane. Sit in the very back row and you risk not having any seat if, as has happened to me, the airline switches to a smaller plane at the last minute. I've settled upon Row 5 as my optimal row. And skip the window and stick to the aisle for a quicker deplaning.
Finally, what about the dreaded security checkpoint? This is truly the random element at work in any commute. Consider the image helpfully telling me that it's only "a 20 minute wait." As the fine print cautions, though, "Actual times may vary." And vary they do. I've been at this exact sign and it's taken me only five minutes. I've been at this exact sign and it's taken 50 minutes. The best you can do is arrive with extra time and be prepared to get through the actual scanning machines in as little time as possible: wear slip-on shoes instead of laces; have your liquids and gels in a baggy at the top of your carry-on; and for goodness' sake, have your ticket and photo ID handy.
Now, what about productivity? I usually pass the time in line and on the plane taking pictures like the ones you see here, but I'd love to hear how you spend your time. What do you do during the actual flight? Do you read? Do you grade? Do you write? Do you sleep? Let us know in the comments, and I hope even the non-commuters will learn something valuable for their occasional flights!

Original steel specs for Carcano rifles (Bolt especially) required Poldi special steel from Kladno in upper Bohemia (then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.)...The Name comes from a contraction of "Leopoldina", the wife of Karl Wittgenstein, a German family of Steelmakers and entrepreneurs (with many famous connections, amongst them the 20th century Philosopher, Wittgenstien); the original name of "Leopoldina-Hutte" became with time, simply "Poldi" of Kladno. Poldi was still in business when the new state of Czecho-slovakia was formed,(1919) and supplied steel for the manufacture of both Mauser (Vz24 etc) rifles and ZB26 type LMGs (The British copied the Poldi specs when making their own Bren Gun Steel.). The Germans, after 1939, utilised Poldi steel, as did the Eastern Bloc after 1948.
The Communist Enterprise was "privatised" in 1989, and almost was bankrupted in 1998; it was saved by a German Steelmaker, and now (much re-structured) again supplies special steels to the European market. Poldi steel is still used for quality gun-barrels, and some say it exceeds the famous "Krupp-laufStahl" in quality and performance.
The connections between steel works and arms manufacturers transcended Political and National boundaries...see the links between Vickers-Maxim, Krupp & DWM, between Vickers-Armstrong and Odero-Terni-Orlando in Italy; and so on. technology and supplies were cross-traded, (cartels), and everybody made money by competition for the customers...Countries such as China had as many Krupp guns and warships as they did of Vickers-Armstrong (Same with Turkey)...it just depended on who gave the better "deal" at the moment...
Search Google for many articles under "Poldi Kladno" (avoiding the majority which refer to Hockey and other Sporting teams). Some articles are in Czech, the majority in English.
The Kladno area is just about 20 km west of Prague, and developed in the mid-1800s as a major steel making and industrial area. It is now like Pittsburgh USA, a "Rust-belt" city, struggling to re-invent itself with modern, efficient industries.

Charlie Sheen hospitalized in LA
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actor Charlie Sheen, star of the most-watched comedy on U.S. television, was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital with severe abdominal pains on Thursday, his spokesman said.
"All I know is, he was having severe abdominal pains and went to the hospital," Sheen's spokesman Stan Rosenfield said in a statement.
Rosenfield told Reuters that he had gone to the hospital to see the star of "Two and a Half Men" but was told the actor was sleeping. He added that Sheen's father, actor Martin Sheen, and his mother Janet Templeton, were on their way to the hospital.
Celebrity website TMZ.com said the actor's second wife Denise Richards was also at the hospital, where unspecified tests were being carried out on the actor.
It was the latest in a string of incidents in Sheen's personal life -- his assault conviction last year, stint in rehab, and recent reports of hard drinking, partying, and drug use -- that have caused concern for executives at broadcaster CBS, which airs "Two and a Half Men".
Sheen, 45, is the highest paid TV actor in Hollywood, and "Two and a Half Men" is No. 1 comedy on U.S. TV, raking in revenue for CBS and the show's makers at the Warner Bros. film and TV studio, a unit of Time Warner Inc.
TMZ.com said Sheen was taken from his Los Angeles area home on a stretcher and rushed by ambulance to the hospital after a 911 emergency call was placed.
The website said the call followed a noisy party at Sheen's house on Wednesday night. Two women left the house as Sheen was taken out at 7 am on Thursday morning, TMZ said.
Earlier this month, executives at CBS said they were highly concerned about Sheen, but added that at work he behaved in a professional manner and that "Two and A Half Men" would continue. Sheen plays a womanizing bachelor on the comedy. Continued...

Citation: Vaughan, R.E., Needelman, B.A., Kleinman, P.J., Rabenhorst, M.C. 2008. Morphology and Characterization of Ditch Soils at an Atlantic Coastal Plain Farm. Soil Science Society of America Journal. 72:660-669. Interpretive Summary: Land drainage for agricultural, construction, and public health purposes has been a prominent landscape feature in the United States and Europe for over four centuries. As drainage ditches typically intercept or border agricultural fields, they are a key link between farm land and surface waters. To facilitate the systematic study of drainage ditches, this study surveys materials found in ditches and describes the processes that led to their current properties. In doing so, it is clear that many materials in drainage ditches that have been described as sediments are actually soils and therefore can be readily classified and mapped. Extrapolation of study findings will support the systematic management of drainage ditches and aid in improved management for water quality protection.
Technical Abstract: Some materials in drainage ditches, which have traditionally been referred to and studied as sediments, may be soils. In this study, we described and characterized materials found in agricultural ditches at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore Research Farm (Princess Anne, MD). Sixty-nine profiles were described along 10 ditches ranging in length from 225 to 550 m. Particle-size, pH, and organic carbon were analyzed on 21 representative profiles. The materials meet the definition of a soil in that they supported rooted vegetation and had distinguishable soil horizons formed through pedogenesis. Pedogenic processes operating in these soils include organic matter humification and accumulation, structure formation, iron oxidation and reduction, sulfuricization, sulfidization, translocations, and bioturbation. Ditch soils were generally A horizons formed in loamy alluvial sediments eroded from loess-derived topsoil over gravelly and sandy C horizons formed in Coastal Plain sediments. Soil structure was described in 75% of A horizons. Redoximorphic features were described in 41% of A and 63% of C horizons. Organic carbon ranged from 0.4 to 124 g/kg. Monosulfidic black oozes were observed on some soil surfaces; geological sulfidic materials were observed at depth. Shallow ditches (less than 1.5 m) tended to have structure and a layer in the substrata with a bright matrix color. Deep ditches (1.5 to 4 m) tended to have high n-value, structureless sola, and iron-depleted subsoil horizons. Studies of the chemical, physical, and biological processes operating in ditches should integrate an understanding of the role of pedological processes if soils are present.

If Roma's 3-2 loss at home to Shakhtar Donetsk in the UEFA Champions League wasn't enough, it blew a 3-0 lead at Genoa on Sunday and lost, 4-3. The collapse cost veteran coach Claudio Ranieri, who resigned after the Serie A game, which extended Roma's winless streak to five games.
"I have always thought about the good of Roma," he was quoted as saying by ANSA news service. "After a game like that today, I think it is right to give a signal. At the final whistle I went into the locker room to thank the team and I have decided to resign."
Ranieri's departure came a day after about 200 Roma fans protested at training, throwing flares and firecrackers at the gates before being police repelled them. The loss left Roma eighth in Serie A.
The club is in limbo while the sale of the club to the American consortium led by Thomas DiBenedetto is finalized. Bank UniCredit, which looks to recoup its losses, has run the team in recent months. It blocked any move by Ranieri to sign reinforcements during the January transfer window.

Among our many programs designed to help Arkansans find steady employment, there is one job-training initiative that has helped employ 1,700 of our citizens over the past two years. In 2010, a grant given to the Department of Workforce Services helped the State create a skills-training system for the green-energy manufacturing sector. The program's ability to match so many people to jobs, especially with a struggling national economy, has been an impressive achievement. In addition to creating new jobs for those who needed them, the Arkansas Energy Sector Partnership demonstrated to the nation that Arkansans can and will respond to the workforce demands of America's 21st-century economy.
The program's goal was to train workers in the specific areas of renewable electric power, energy assessment, and energy-efficient building construction and retrofitting. Arkansans who faced employment challenges were specifically targeted to be trained for this work. Those recruited included job seekers, high-school dropouts, disadvantaged and dislocated workers, and individuals living in counties notably affected by the auto-industry crisis. This $4.8 million grant from the U.S. Department of Labor also sought out former offenders who had re-paid their debt to society and were looking to become productive workers. They often have the toughest time of all finding steady employment as they re-enter society.
Twenty of Arkansas's community colleges developed curriculum to help participants develop expert skills to last beyond the life of the program. Their on-the-job and classroom training was in areas as diverse as plumbing, geothermal apprenticeship, solar heat, residential piping, and wind-powered generators. Additionally, seven new ongoing apprenticeship programs were created to prepare workers for the green industry jobs that will continue to expand. With green industries a growing part of the job market, we are helping secure new careers for those who need jobs and bolstering the state's economy at the same time. Thanks to Winrock International, people who obtain these jobs will have access to support services, including child care and transportation.
The grant program established nine performance goals to measure how well the State used this taxpayer money. Nine months remain to produce results, and already, Arkansas has vastly exceeded all but one of those goals. So far, more than 2,400 Arkansans have either completed apprenticeships or received certificates or degrees through the program. More than 1,700 of those people are now working because of this apprenticeship-training opportunity.
As I've always said, education and economic development are forever connected in our State. By identifying the needs of Arkansas employers and then training a workforce to meet those needs, we enhance our State's stability and prosperity. These newly trained electricians; welders; plumbers and pipefitters; HVAC installers; painters; and sheet metal workers are now earning a living and paying their share of taxes. By integrating green technologies and other new innovations into our job-creation efforts, we achieve the same goal that has always been part of the American tradition: offering our people a chance for prosperity.

PHILADELPHIA — It was five years ago when Brian Burke, who was then the general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs, made it known that he was trying to trade up and acquire the No. 1 pick in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. And he was prepared to move heaven and earth to do so.
That was because waiting at the top spot was John Tavares, a clear-cut No. 1 who everyone expected to step into the NHL and become a franchise player.
This year's draft does not have a Tavares. There is no slam-dunk superstar. Depending on whom you ask, any one of Sam Bennett, Aaron Ekblad, Sam Reinhart and Leon Draisaitl could have his name called out first on Friday night at the Wells Fargo Center.
But that has not stopped Florida Panthers general manager Dale Tallon from reportedly putting a Tavares-like value on anyone interested in the first overall selection.
"I know that Dale is serious about moving it — I think he's happy to keep it as well — but he's not going to give that pick away," said Leafs general manager Dave Nonis who has the No. 8 pick. "I've talked to him this morning, but at this point I don't think there's a deal here for us.
"Every draft is different. So when you're looking at John Tavares, who is maybe sitting there at first overall, that price tag is different than possibly taking the player who is going to go [first overall this year]. It doesn't mean the player that goes first is not going to be a great player, but those price tags are different. And I think every team in the league would tell you that."
In other words, don't expect the Leafs to move up. In a weak draft with no clear-cut No. 1, the value simply does not justify the price. At No. 8, the Leafs might end up with a player comparable or even better than they would find at No. 1. That is how much uncertainty there is at the top.
"Moving up to one, two or three — does that increase your odds of picking an impact player? It does. But I believe — and I think most people believe — that the odds aren't different this year," said Nonis. "Players do differentiate themselves as you go down. But it's just not as big of a change this year."
The Leafs, who selected Luke Schenn, Nazem Kadri and Morgan Rielly in the top-10 in past years, know quality can be found where they currently sit. You just have to look hard for it. And because the team traded its second-round pick to Anaheim in exchange for Peter Holland, they better find it.
"This might not have the superstar at the top, but I think most teams would agree that there are some good players in this draft that are going to be useful players on good teams," he said. "We need to find a player at eight that's going to have an impact."

By Sandra
from Kingston, Ontario
I still adore this product but took it off AD as I could not afford it. I just reordered it and only take it 2 weeks of every month and find a HUGE difference in my mood and cramps from my cycle. Thanks so much Dr.B!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Great results!
I got these right before my cycle started and I know the doctor says give it a few weeks. I noticed a difference within a few days. I use to have to force myself out of bed once a month and just felt icky for a week. My cramps were almost gone and I didn't feel slugish at all. I didn't realize how effected I was but the VitaWomens is a must try! Even if you think your not that bad after you try this....you might see how much better you are. THe cost might be a bit high but I waited for it to go on "this visit only" price and locked in ADP!!!! I highly recommend this line to everyone :) Thanks Dr. B and TSC!!!!

PMS relief
By leahgets1/4ofherlifeback
from Saskatoon, SK
Age: 41. I have been using this product for 2 years now. And yes, it is expensive. However, when I've gone off it because the cost bothers me, the return of my PMS onslaught sends me right back. When I consider that 2 weeks of every month, indeed half of my life, is affected by my period, the relative cost for me is worth it. Like many "medications", VitaWomen's initially takes a couple of months to kick in, and it doesn't fix everything for everyone. For me, it makes a huge difference with my emotional and bloating symptoms in the week leading up to my period. Before - I was an emotional wreck for a good week prior. NOW, my period "sneaks up" on me. I still experience some moodiness during my period, but not nearly like I used to. I see it as having gained 1 week of every 4 of sanity back in my life! That's 1/4 of my life! The more religiously I take it, the better it works (go figure). I'm glad for the payment plan offered by Shopping Channel to make it more "affordable" and that you don't HAVE to do the auto-delivery method.
Noticed a change in hot flashes
By JOANNE
from Ottawa
After about 2 months on the vitawoman, I noticed that my hotflashes slowly decreased. Wanting to test the product I stopped taking the VitaWoman and the hot flashes came back. For me it works at decreasing night sweat and hot flashes so I would recommend testing it out for yourself. What I love about this product is that it worked for me and there are no fillers. Bit expensive but worth it.
So far so good!!

Great Product!
By CAROL
from Canada,SK,SWIFT CURRENT
I have been sleeping so much better with these capsules, and it has stopped the waking during the night. I take two a day and it has been working great for me!
Helped abit but not enough for the cost
By Bur123
from Burlington
For myself, I was not happy with this product. Did not work as well as I hoped. It is expensive to keep taking everyday if does not give you relief.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Unfortunately, did not help much
By Nancy
from St. Andrews (ON)
I noticed a bit of improvement (a bit less night sweats - on average 5 per night) after taking the capsules (as directed on an empty stomach) for 1.5 months. In my case, it is not worth the cost for so little return. As everyone's metabolism is different, I still suggest that women try it and see for themselves.

Diamondbacks 10, Pirates 4: Chris Johnson belted a three-run homer to snap a tie in the eighth inning and added a two-run shot in the ninth as visiting Arizona prevented Pittsburgh from moving 17 games over .500 for the first time in 20 years.
Stephen Drew homered for the second straight game and Miguel Montero had an RBI double and single. Paul Goldschmidt added an RBI single for the Diamondbacks, who won in Pittsburgh for just the second time in eight outings. The trio had three hits apiece in the victory.
After the Pirates seized a 4-3 lead in the seventh inning, Arizona regrouped and immediately went to work on reliever Jason Grilli (1-4). Goldschmidt doubled to lead off the eighth and Justin Upton singled before Montero did the same to tie the contest. Johnson then blasted a high fastball two seats over the wall in center field.
Johnson added his 13th homer in the ninth inning when he once again went deep to center to give Arizona a 10-4 advantage. He has five homers and 15 RBIs in eight games with the Diamondbacks.
Grilli exited the contest after yielding four runs on as many hits without retiring a batter.
The scoring burst allowed Brad Ziegler (5-1) to pick up the win after he induced a double-play ball to end the seventh inning.
Rookie Starling Marte tied the contest at 3-3 by leading off the seventh inning with a home run. Travis Snider collected three hits and Andrew McCutchen drove in a pair of runs for the Pirates.
GAME NOTEBOOK: The Pirates were bidding to move 17 games over .500 for the first time since 1992. They finished that season with a 96-66 mark. That was the last campaign that Pittsburgh made the playoffs. ... Rookie Patrick Corbin allowed two runs on six hits and struck out a season-best seven in six innings. The performance was the eighth straight quality start by Arizona - its longest such streak since a run of 11 in a row in September 2008.

Ever wondered what it's like to walk around a movie set, chatting to directors and acting in a film alongside some famous names? Growing up I was lucky enough to do exactly that. As an extra, you're not always given the opportunity to pull out all the stops for that Oscar winning performance, but it's a fantastic way to get to know what it feels like behind the scenes. And it's a pretty big deal when Steven Spielberg introduces himself to you …
If you think you have what it takes, take a look at what you can expect from life as a movie extra.
Big names
When I was 11, I was an extra in the BBC series, 'Band of Brothers'. I was told that David Schwimmer and the casting agents had chosen me specifically from my agency for a scene at a beautiful location in Hertfordshire. Once I had finished in hair, make-up and costume, I was taken to the set. I remember a man with glasses coming over to me and shaking my hand. 'Hello, I'm Steven,' he said. 'I'm Jadie,' I replied nonchalantly, and turned away. It was only later when my Dad told me who it was that I realised - I had met Steven Spielberg, and I didn't even know it! I've met tonnes of celebrities from working as an extra, from Helen Mirren to Paul Whitehouse. Being an extra is a fantastic way to meet some of the biggest names in film and it's a great way to make yourself known by directors, producers and casting agents. Just make sure you know who you're talking to!
Looking the part
Perhaps it's not everyone's idea of fun, but one of my favourite things about being on set was getting ready for filming. You may be under the impression that as an extra it doesn't really matter what you wear or how your hair looks - WRONG! The director is trying to create a whole scene, and you are a part of that. I once filmed a scene for a movie called Sam's Circus which was set in the 40's, and everything from the bobbles in my hair to the socks on my feet was chosen specifically by the styling and wardrobe teams. It's a great way to experiment with different looks, too - and it provides you with access to a vast number of outfits!
Meeting people
The most rewarding part of being a movie extra is talking to exciting people. Shooting scenes often takes much longer than you'd imagine, and when you're on set for up to twelve hours you start to realise how much time is spent getting to know other extras and actors. Don't disregard the people who are doing the same job as you just because you'd rather try and network with the film crew. Between takes is the perfect time to get chatting to 'Man 6' who is standing next to you because you never know how much experience they have had and you can always learn from other people. He may be 'Man 6' now, but in two years he could be the next Russell Crowe.
Last but not least… eating!
Shooting could start at 6:00 a.m. and finish at 10:00 p.m. It's a tiring job, and you're often feeling rather hungry once you've walked through the same hallway for the 78th time. Luckily, being a movie extra means that you'll never go hungry on set. Often there are several tables, pop-up tents and food vans not too far away that are always happy to provide you with a decent, hot and the best part - complimentary! - meal. You're sure to find something to eat whether it is morning, noon or night and you will always be well looked after. If you're filming a scene in a kitchen or food hall, your plates will be topped up at the beginning of each take for consistency. I remember filming a dinner scene where my 'family' and I were eating a roast dinner. Every time we started filming, I went straight for the chicken, and every time we started the scene again fresh chicken was put on my plate! After the third take, however, I was so stuffed that I stuck to nibbling at the vegetables ...
Getting extra work
There are so many agencies around that it's often difficult to decide who to go with. Look at an agency's client book to see what kind of people they represent and enquire about how much work is on offer for you with regards to your age, gender and 'look'. As an extra, I could earn anything from £100+ for a few hours work. You may not have the lead role, but always be the three P's: professional, punctual and a pleasure to work with.

Coalition ministers keep on putting their foot in it. Among those facing accusations of sexism we've had David Cameron ("calm down dear"), David Willetts (blaming feminism for the lack of jobs for working men) and then Ken Clarke ("serious" rape).
In each instance the government's defence was that they were misunderstood – by accident or design. But some of their female parliamentary colleagues are muttering that perhaps this male-dominated government needs some equal opportunities training.
One coalition MP says the latest row over Clarke betrays an old-fashioned, casual sexism, even at the top of government. "They don't mean to get it wrong. For political reasons they would love not to get it wrong, but they just don't get women or the issues. They just keep getting it wrong," she says despairingly.
And yet the Commons has never been more female. Last year, 143 women were elected, the highest number ever, and up 15 on the previous election. That increase came exclusively from an increase in Conservative female MPs, the number of whom almost tripled from 17 to 49. Benches on both sides of the house look younger and the Tories at least are slightly more female.
But Cameron has struggled to find enough senior female candidates for his government. There are four women in the cabinet out of 23 members. Overall, fewer than 20% of Cameron's ministers are women – compared with 53% of Spain's cabinet, 50% of Sweden's, 38% of Germany's, and 31% of America's.
The exception to that rule is the Home Office, where Theresa May became home secretary amid suggestions (mostly from disgruntled male rivals) that she had been over-promoted because Cameron desperately needed a big job to go to a woman. Compared with other calamity-prone secretaries of state she has been a relatively safe pair of hands (save a spectacular falling out with the police over cuts). Half of the Home Office ministerial team are women. (Dame Helen Ghosh is permanent secretary of the Home Office and this year, for the first time, half of such permanent secretary roles are in the hands of women).
There may be a fresher feel on the Commons backbenches, but female MPs say they still face sexism on a regular basis. Stella Creasy, the rising Labour star, last week described being shouted at by junior defence minister Andrew Robathan as he tried to throw her out of an MP-only lift, having assumed she must be a researcher. She later described him on Twitter as a "snotty MP".
There is still consternation from all sides of the house at the lack of women in parliament. The Commons procedures committee is conducting an inquiry into the hours the house sits, to try and reduce the all-night debates and make the job more family-friendly. The expenses watchdog recently announced changes to the expenses scheme, in recognition that the refusal to subsidise larger second homes for MPs with children of school age could put off parents.
But in politics there are clear limits. Approaches from the Tory-run all-party parliamentary group for women to the Labour benches were knocked back by women, who decided to stick with their partisan women's groups.

There is a petition floating around that calls for Sesame Street characters Bert and Ernie to tie the knot. Clearly bolstered by the recent passage of same-sex marriage in New York, and a California law that puts contributions of LGBT Americans into social studies classes, the move would basically confirm what many adults have long speculated: That Ernie and Bert are more than just roommates.
Don't bet on it happening, what with opponents of public broadcasting funding already complaining of the outsized influence of the "Muppet lobby." But shouldn't we know whether Big Bird is a boy or a girl first?
Green Mean: Speaking of controversial children's characters, last night Stephen Colbert riffed on notions that Spongebob Squarepants is pushing a green agenda on our kids. "Yeah, this is even worse than when they pushed alternative lifestyles with 'Dora the Explorer,'" Colbert said. "This is how it works, folks. The liberal media brainwashes our kids by sneaking propaganda into their cartoons in a code only kids can understand."
Ratigan Rant: MSNBC host Dylan Ratigan and the latest Howard Beale-to-be explains his outburst on Tuesday. In a Huffington Post piece titled, "I'm Mad as Hell, How About You?," he writes, "We are taking our collective passion and focus and turning it toward manipulating power for the self-preservation of a few instead of working together towards shared goals with shared values knowing our ideas and mechanics will change as long as we try to get there." Maybe he'll strike a chord: President Obama did watch "Network" during the midst of the debt negotiations.

Edelbrock or Holley Carb. for my street/strip Truck
I have a 1986 1/2 ton short bed Chevy truck. It has a 350 crate motor from summit part number NAL-12486041. I have an edlebrock air gap intake manifold and a 650 Holley double pumper vacuum secondary and electric choke which I installed straight out of the box. It has summit HEI distributor and a 6AL MSD ignition box. As for as exhaust I have 1 7/8 hooker headers to 2 1/2 inch exhaust and three chamber flow masters. The trani is a 350 lock-up with a shift kit and a 4.11 geared rear end (not posi). I have also installed an electric fan system and it has factory A/C. My best time is a 15.60. My next mods will be to get the heads ported and put bigger valves. I also plan to make the rear-end a posi and install a 2500 stall converter. I hope to run high 14's with these mods, will this be possible? Well I guess my big question is do I just need to tune the carb I have, but what size jets to go with? Or do I get an edelbrock 600 carb? Because in high school my buddy had a very similar set-up in a 69, minus the mods I am planning to do. He was running 15.30's in what im sure was a heavier truck. As far as I can remember the Edelbrock carb seemed better on the bottom end and had a quicker throttle response than the Holley. Is there anything else I can do without messing with the bottom end of the motor to get more power without putting it on the bottle, or forking out the money for a supercharger? Thanks for any positive feedback you might have, Anthony.
Well Im working out of town right now and my time slip is somewhere in my truck my girlfriend looked for it but no luck so I will have to get back to you on that. In the meantime she did give me the info on the tires. They are BF Goodrich radial T/A P275/60 R 15s. As for as the rear end its either a 4.11 or 4.10 whichever GM goes by. When I bought the truck the owner told me he had them put in because he used the truck for towing. I want to say my mile per hour was around 87 to 89 mph. As for as the weight of the truck the title said 3900 and if you factor in me and my junk your probably looking at 4100 pounds considering the weight on the title is an accurate one? Oh and the carb is a 650 VS with electric choke, and I am pretty sure the timing is already set right in that range. The motor is suppose to make 330 hp at 5000 rpm and have 380 ft-lbs of torque at 3800rpm. Thanks for the advice you have already been a big help I hope this information will give you a better picture of what Im working with and you might be able to help me out a little more, thanks again.
Get a Holley 750 model 3310 w/vac secondaries and you will be happy with it.
Luv the smell of NITRO in the morning.
You don't think that is too big? I will consider it thanks, for the input.
It is pretty hard to over carb with a vacuum secondary as the secondaries open in response to engine demand.If the engine wants 600 cfm thats how far the secodaries wil open.I would try changing secondary springs on the one you have keep going lighter till you feel a bog then go back stiffer one step.The stock spring in your carb probably is not letting the secondaries fully open due to the rpm range you are in.
Amthony, there must be a grain elavator near Midland. Just go there and ask them to weigh your truck. I've done it several times and it's always been free and easy.
Im glad to hear my carb. isnt too big. Thats was why I was thinking of going to a 600 edelbrock in the first place. I will definitely play around with the secondary springs and see if I am able to get some better performance out of it, thanks. On the note of getting it weighed. I was planning on taking it to the city dump, because I know they have a scale there as well, but thanks for the input on that! To F-Bird88 I will definitely get it weighed and do my best to find my time slip when I get home. As for as the tires I am going to have to wait a while. If they cost anything like the ones I have now, i dont think I can justify to my live in girlfriend on buying another set when these probably only have 10,000 miles on them at best. I am definitely going to take your advice on the head work, stall converter, smaller diameter headers, and the posi rear end. You have been a great help. I feel like I should be paying to speak to someone this knowledgeable! Wait a sec, I better not give these people any ideas ..Thanks for all your help and I will get back to you when I know the true weight of my truck, and find my time slip.
Well i had my truck weighed the other day and it weighs 3875 pounds, and if you add me your lookin at about 4050 total weight. I also found my time slip leaving the line at 1500rpm with a little tire spin;
60ft time 2.29
330ft time 6.57
1/8 mile 9.99 at 72 mph
1000et 12.99
1/4 mile et 15.60at 86 mph
The Edelbrock carb is an upgrade of the old carter AFB I have a couple Edelbrocks on the shelf in the shop /// I always liked the old afb's better than the holly's there are about 10 holly's in there including a nascar 3 barrel one thing was the rebuild kit setup instructions did not alwaqys work right, I had to tweek everything to get choke lock out . secondary kick in and wot to be right
15.1 huh thats almost where I want to be. with that and the head work i want to get done i should be in the mid 14's i hope. thinking back to the light you know i might have let off a little early. i asked someone where the end of the track was and they pointed to some light at the end of the track this was my second time out there the first time was when i got the truck and after putting exhaust it ran a 17.0. oh yeah speaking of the exhaust i do have 1 5/8 headers not 1 7/8 like i told you before. To me the truck did seem to lose power at the end this was my reason for asking about the carbs to begin with. i had taken the tail gate off that day to counter that problem as for as the wind it was probably in the neighborhood of 10 to 15 mph that day as far as the direction i cant recall. now that i think about it i am pretty sure the fuel pump is stock what kind would you recommend for an upgrade for the set up i have? only 290 hp huh, thats a bit of a disappointment when im suppose to have 330 hp hopefully im just losing power somewhere like the crab or amount of fuel Im getting. i plan on going to the track either this weekend or the next so i will have some more feedback then thanks again for the help and great advice.
