HAMPSTEAD – The Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA) has affirmed its original vote to permit Russell Bergeron to have a home occupation – a state motor vehicle inspection garage – on his property at 522 Main St. Meeting Thursday, May 2, the ZBA did, however, nail down more firmly that the occupation approved was an inspection station only and not a repair garage, allowing Bergeron only to make such inspection related repairs as changing a light bulb.
Joseph and Rosemary Kozdra, 516 Main St., and John Lindberg, 512 Main St., all objected strongly to the home occupation request at the initial hearing in March. The abutters lodged objections that painted a different picture of Bergeron's garage's location and the impact that resulting noise would have on their enjoyment and use of their back yards.
The Kozdras and Lindberg own land that abuts Bergeron's in the back. They testified in March and again at the ZBA rehearing last week that they think the inspection station would be noisy and probably smelly, and might pose a safety threat if hazardous material leaked from vehicles.
The Kozdras filed for the rehearing and the ZBA granted the request at its April meeting. ZBA Chairman Geoffrey Dowd said at that time he thought the board may not have considered all the information and suggested not enough credit had been shown to the photos the objecting parties had supplied. The board voted to allow the rehearing 3-2, with Neil Emerson and Don Reese opposed.
At last week's rehearing, Lindberg and Kozdra brought in evidence regarding the noise level of impact tools and compressors. They continued to argue the case based on the noise factor, the fact that inspection and repairs are two separate occupations, and that the Bergeron property already is full of junk cars and car parts.
Bergeron defended his request, saying that when an inspection was being done inside his garage, there would no noise the neighbors could hear. However, in the end he agreed to forego the use of all air-driven tools and to limit any inspection repairs to changing light bulbs.
With these limiting criteria, the ZBA affirmed its original approval of the inspection garage, setting weekday hours of 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday hours of 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on a 3-2 vote, with Dowd and Dale Blaine voting no.
In other business May 2:
• Michael and Nancy Hickey were granted their request to add an addition on their nonconforming lot at 1 Tewksbury Road. However, David and Michelle Catanzaro, whose home looks over at the Hickey property, objected, saying further additions to the existing in-law apartment would further diminish their view. They asked for privacy plantings to be added but the ZBA decided requiring the Hickeys to do that was not in the board's purview.
The Hickeys admitted the original addition 10 years ago is a pseudo in-law apartment, used upon occasion, but it does not have a kitchen or private bath. This latest addition would allow for a bathroom and a bedroom along with the family room. The ZBA was concerned that the lot is only capable of sustaining a three-bedroom dwelling and the house already has three bedrooms. As a result, Hickey altered the design plan, taking out walls between two existing bedrooms and making the present structure a two-bedroom dwelling. Thus, the new bedroom would raise the total number of bedrooms to three, which was acceptable to the board, as the septic system can accommodate the three-bedroom status. The board voted unanimously to approve the request.

replace Chevy 3.1 v6 to 2.8 v6?
Can anyone tell me : I bought a new 2.8 v6 crate motor that was suppose to work in my s10. New in plastic cover from add in paper. I actually installed it in a Susuki Samurai jeep. I bolted an 88 s10 trans to it and made motor mounts to fit frame. I crawled under to bolt flywheel and torque converter together and holes didnt line up plus converter if pulled close to flywheel then it would come out of trans. pump. Also starter is on opposite side of s10. I think I have a new front wheel drive motor! So I ended up putting a 350 in the Samurai. Now I still have a new motor and I have a 93 Pontiac Transport van ( FWD) that has a bad 3.1 motor, can I install the 2.8 motor in the van to replace the 3.1?They are both all cast iron ( heads too) and they look exactly alike. I dont know much about these engines , but arent they the same family etc? Will it work since Im pretty sure this new engine is FWD like the 3.1 in the van? Please help!

Engagement, Smart Systems, and Nimbleness Anchor The Top Tech Trends To Watch
Posted by Brian Hopkins on November 4, 2013
- 170 Recommendations
- 0 comments
Mobile, social, and cloud computing have created seismic shifts in the business technology landscape over the last seven years. Instead of simply evolving our 2011 top trends research, this year we're taking a fresh look at how technology is fueling business change anchored by three broad themes:
- Engagement: Engaged customers drive the pace of business change.
- Smart: Firms rely on smart systems for competitive advantage.
- Nimble: IT embraces change to help them be both nimble and secure.
Constantly connected customers, empowered by broadband connectivity and millions of apps have turned the tables on business. The only way to keep up is to engage with them, and this increasingly requires a compelling digital experience that adds value to people's lives, in their context and at their moment of need.
To compete, firms must keep a close eye on trends changing the way that they should think about digital convergence, digital experience delivery, and how they interact with their environment through APIs. Digital experience delivery in particular is going to be a make-or-break point for many firms as we move forward. It is crucial that firms realize that software has become vital to brand impression.
The use of flexible processes, better analytics, smart devices and sensors means that leading firms can: 1) create intelligent products and services that provide more value to customers and more data on customer activities, 2) plug into their ecosystem better by tapping data from partners, government entities and data market places, and 3) make better strategic decisions by anticipating and detecting shifts in the markets.
Firms are using information technology to operate in a more intelligent fashion; to stay ahead they must continue to adapt to these trends: business ownership of process and intelligence; saying 'yes' to new business ideas for data innovation and value; and using sensors and devices to draw ecosystems together. Leaders are shedding data limitations by figuring out the real value behind the hype of big data. Firms that know how to create cost effective data hubs, agile information fabrics and deploy real-time predictive apps to meet customer at their moment of need will win.
IT is embracing change to help their business be both nimble and secure. The pace of digital disruption makes the future less predictable, but firms must also deal with the fact that information has never been more available and the pressure on IT to be more open has never been higher. To help them be both nimble and secure response, leading organizations are employing agile methods to deploy emerging technologies like converged infrastructure, and adopt new concepts like zero trust security.
As firms create more nimble and secure ways of meeting business needs, the top changes to look out for are: Rethinking "trust" and "identity" in light of "zero trust" models that build security into application and data foundations and inspect everything that happens; making infrastructure an enabler of business demand for engagement; enabling mobile engagement and take advantage of cloud for specific workloads; and brokering and governing service delivery with a new set of processes and skills that allows infrastructure to cope with the new pace of business. Ultimately, IT must radically transform its planning, management and delivery approach or fade away as the new pace of business makes old ideas increasingly irrelevant.

Q&A: Tomasz Adamek
By Przemek Garczarczyk
Photos: Kamil Krzaczyński
"I wasn't worried when reading about the possible Wlad Klitschko-David Haye July agreement. They can and should fight; there is so much money to make for both of them and championship belts to get. I will start worrying only when, and if, Vitali loses his upcoming March 19 bout versus Odlanier Solis," said Tomasz Adamek (43-1, 28 KOs), who has an agreement to fight one of the Klitschko brothers in September, in his native Poland. For now, Adamek is working in the old Lennox Lewis training battleground, Poconos Mountains, for his upcoming fight against Kevin McBride (35-8, 29 KOs) on April 9 in Newark's Prudential Center.
Guide us through your working day at the Poconos.
Waking up around 8 AM, making breakfast with my trainer Roger Bloodworth who is an excellent cook, first training around 11, maybe a short nap, and then training around 5 PM. Even when there is sparring, I always add some other form of training in the day, running or maybe working with Tyler Woodman, my strength guy. We have everything here: sauna, swimming pool and solitude, to be ready for Kevin.
Roger does not have to remind you to keep it up with work because you're fighting "just McBride?"
Never now and he never had to do it in the past. It's not my way of thinking. It's impossible for me to say 'let's just skip our afternoon sessions, McBride is not Klitschko.' Impossible.
Many fighters, who achieved less success than you did – two championship belts in two different weight classes in 5 years – decide to slow down, take it easy, enjoy the money and fame. Not you. Why?
I will never get tired of saying that being a religious man, deeply Catholic, makes all the difference. My faith keeps me levelheaded, not to get complacent because I got some championships, because people recognize me on the streets. Faith and a family life. 2011 is my 15 year wedding anniversary, I have two beautiful daughters. How can I not be thankful for it and just work even harder?
You already started your sparring sessions with Roger. Trying something new or just polishing what brought you so far?
Roger knows me very well, there's no point of experimenting with something that already works. It's a different story when it comes to making perfect things I do well. There are big differences between our early work together and what we have to do now. In the beginning, I needed 2-3 days to change stuff we did not like. Now it takes minutes, sometimes I will correct myself before even Roger says a word. We are working on seamless transition from changing directions to unloading a dynamic, powerful punching combinations. Quick movement, speed and punching power. I'm working right now with Israel Garcia and there is discussion with two other fighters to keep him company in the ring. Speed and precision is my bread and butter and because of this I'm staying in shape. Right now I'm 217 and plan to have the same weight for McBride and the Klitschkos.
Vitali – your most likely opponent if Vladimir will sign with Haye – praised recently quickness of Odlanier Solis. What would he say if he has to judge you?
No idea – maybe he will have chance to see it himself? I wasn't worried reading about a possible Wlad Klitschko-David Haye July agreement. They can and should fight; there is so much money to make for both of them, championship belts to get. I will start worrying only when – and if – Vitali will lose his upcoming March 19 bout versus Odlanier Solis. But I highly doubt it will happen.
You could also see recent development as a bonus: your contract states that you should know which of the brothers Klitschko you will fight in September not longer than 90 days before the actual fight date. If Wladimir will sign with Haye for July bout, and Vitali wins against Solis, you will know in couple of weeks.
That's true but boxing is so unpredictable. I will feel better when we all will just have one fight in front of us. Vitali is older, maybe more vulnerable against smaller, quicker fighters, but again – we will never know until the fight happens. This is why we fight, not give belts during dinner conversations.

So far as I'm reading, I'm the only 1 posting with cams in a SVT'ish. Remember, I'm on reground SVT cams now. No dyno #'s and I honestly can't feel any difference from stock. But according to the specs I was given from Web, they are slightly more aggressive with a little more lift; I had to change lifters to accommodate the new grind as well as use the included valve stem spacers.
Also, I haven't spec'd them yet.
I'll say this again though, according to what I was told by Web, they have grinds for the SVT. I didn't inquire as to how many or any other spec's. I only cared about what I had in hand.
But with anything N/A, compression will be your best friend. There's a thread describing my build you may want to read, if you haven't already.
On my car, it's very easy to drive. The only time I have problems is very cold starts, below 0*F. But that's only because I haven't spent enough time on the tune that cold,,, remember I'm running Corn.
A good tune, you'll have no problems DDing a built N/A SVT. I'm around 180whp and was DDing it until I cracked a windage tray.
I do advise using a mildly uprated Pressure Plate though, stock clutch disc is fine. Mine slips on hard launches and between fast/hard shifts.

Hello All,
Does anybody know where to get some ammo in bulk price? I've only had my pistol for about a month and took it to the range twice and already spent close to $200 in ammo. I love shooting this gun and will probably go shooting at least twice a month. I can already see the price of the ammo starting to add up. Some friends of mine talked about using reloaded ammo, is that a good idea? Is it cheaper to reload ammo yourself?
Thanks All,

Internet turns U.N. telecoms talks into reality show
By Leila Abboud and Matt Smith
PARIS/DUBAI (Reuters) - If the 1,500 delegates huddled into a Dubai conference centre to thrash out a new global telecommunications treaty didn't know how it felt to be on a reality TV show, they do now.
The high-level diplomats and regulators from 150 countries have been criticized, mocked and - just occasionally - lauded by an online commentariat following proceedings at the U.N.'s World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT) this week.
Predictably, many of the bloggers and tweeters have taken aim at those seeking to tame the online world, as a battle rages between the United States and its allies, which want no mention of the Internet in regulations, and a Russia-led block which is calling for a more active role for governments.
But there's also criticism of the way the United Nations goes about its business, with a Wikileaks-inspired website -dubbed WCITleaks - spawned to shine a light on what it considers the conference's opaqueness.
Once-confidential preparatory documents filed by countries including Russia, the United States, and Iran were uploaded to the site in the run-up to the conference, and during the talks the working drafts have all been put online for perusal.
And then there's the hilarity sparked by the absurd - like the sight of delegates voting on communications regulations in the digital age by holding up yellow cards to be counted.
"This is truly farcical," tweeted Kieren McCarthy, a writer for .Nxt, an website which covers internet policy.
"There must be a relevant Monty Python sketch for this." Continued...

We have noticed a problem and decided to act on it. There are sites out there that do what we do but not in the way we do it. We first provide a platform for everyone to get to enjoy themselves. This website does not limit itself to the normal male and female, we go even further to include the LGBT community.
You never know who you might be talking to online so we advise extra caution and vigilance. Do not go about giving all your personal details to your chat partner without knowing a thing about them. In fact do not disclose any of your personal details to people you talk to on this website. In fact we aren't liable for any loss or injury that is caused by you using this website. We provide a convenient messaging platform with which you can chat with your potential sex partner before hooking up.
Most sites of this make do not include a mobile platform or their mobile platform limits the things you can do. It is important to understand that we do not have a mobile application, but what we offer is a mobile website that will let you access the site via your smartphone even when on the move.
Our mobile website will allow you not to miss a moment chatting or messaging with your potential sex partner and to always be up to date with what is happening on your profile. You can also sign up through our mobile platform and keep using our site from there. In truth, a laptop or PC is really not required to use our services.
The name of the site might not suggest it, but we would not like to enclose ourselves and we wish for everyone to have or experience some fun or have a good time. This is why on the front page of our site all you need to do is just specify what you identify as and what you need from us or who you are looking to have fun with.
and this is why we try our best to be as secure as possible. Your details will not be leaked or sold to anyone. Your private conversations are not monitored by us and we place state of the art security to ensure that your details will not be suspect to hacking.
We do this because we also cater for couples (a man and woman) and also other people with different sexual desires and pleasures that most people would consider strange or weird. This is why for us security is our number one priority. It is safe to say that your details and messages are secure with us when using our site.
You never know who you are talking to on the internet and sometimes you might want some more assurance. The video chatting platform allows our users to interact with each other via the webcam.
Sometimes people might even want to do more before meeting each other and some prefer to get a teaser before they hook up hence the video chat. It is imperative that you know that people can be deceiving so don't be as trusting on this website and give out your personal information because we will not be responsible.

Home > News & Events > News > Press Releases > New Poll from Institute of Politics at Harvard, Saint Anselm Finds Romney Leading NH Primary Field by 18 Points
Cambridge, MA - A new poll by the Institute of Politics (IOP) at Harvard University and the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College shows former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney leading the candidate field with 38 percent among likely voters in the New Hampshire Republican presidential primary. Businessman Herman Cain (20%) and U.S. Representative Ron Paul (13%) follow, with all remaining candidates polling at 5 percent or less.
The candidate ballot test appears far from settled; only 10 percent say that they are "definitely" voting for Mitt Romney, 6 percent say the same about Herman Cain -- and only 14 percent report they are "very satisfied" with the field of candidates.
However, likely New Hampshire Republican primary voters appear confident of a Romney win over President Obama, with 72 percent saying Romney would win in a general election match-up with Obama and 20 percent saying the President would win.
"We at the Institutes of Politics at Harvard and Saint Anselm have really enjoyed working together with our students on tracking public opinion leading up to the New Hampshire primary," said Trey Grayson, Director of Harvard's Institute of Politics and Neil Levesque, Executive Director of the New Hampshire Institute of Politics. "On the heels of our insightful focus groups with New Hampshire Millennials two weeks ago, our unique collaboration is now providing new, timely data to the media and public on New Hampshire voter perceptions of the 2012 presidential candidate field and key issues of concern in the Granite State."
"The real significant finding in this data is not so much who the frontrunner is at this point - Governor Romney has been the front runner in this field for a while - but who is NOT in the top tier," said Patrick Griffin, Senior Fellow at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics. "With Herman Cain showing surprising strength as the 'Romney Alternative' and a compressed primary schedule, Governor Perry may be running out of time in New Hampshire. There is a lot more riding on this Tuesday's debate for Romney, Cain and Perry (in that order) today then there was yesterday."
One-in-five (20%) likely Republican primary voters say they have met at least one of the candidates running for President in person (Romney has met the most voters by a margin of more than 3:1).
The poll's 648 telephone interviews (landline and cell phone lines) with likely voters in the New Hampshire Republican primary for President were conducted between Sunday, Oct. 2 and Thursday, Oct. 6, 2011. The poll has a margin of error of +/- 4.4 percentage points.

Reggae making a revival in Jamaica, recalling golden era of '70s
By Aileen Torres-Bennett
KINGSTON (Reuters) - The main event at fight night in Kingston, a popular boxing showcase, was hours away, but the crowd at the National Stadium's indoor arena, from the young and hip to the elderly, was already pumped.
When reggae artist Tarrus Riley entered the stage, the screams of the full house were deafening, and the fervor persisted throughout his performance.
A musical and social roots movement called "Reggae Revival" is on the rise in Jamaica, where the raunchier dancehall genre has been king for the last two decades. The revival evokes music from reggae's golden era of the 1970s, dominated by the late, laid-back legend, Bob Marley, who put reggae on the global map with his catchy tunes and spiritual and socially conscious lyrics.
"Reggae is bouncing back," said Chris Blackwell, the founder of Island Records who introduced the group Bob Marley and the Wailers to the world. "It got lost somewhat in a negative and violent direction (but) I think it's finding itself again," he added.
The revival of traditional "roots reggae" also stands as "a peaceful revolution in a nation that is often typecasted as violent," said Dutty Bookman, a Jamaican writer who has been documenting the movement which he says goes beyond music, likening it to the Arab Spring.
"Love, unity, positivity, truth-seeking, these things form the basis of the movement," he said.
Jamaica is the birthplace of reggae, which became an international phenomenon thanks to Marley who died of cancer in 1981 at age 36.
"Reggae is the heartbeat of Jamaica," said Ziggy Marley, one of Bob Marley's reggae-playing sons, currently on tour for his "Fly Rasta" album. Continued...

Bob grew up in a family that shared with cats, turtles, fish, and tortoises. His parents took action on causes of civil rights and environmental issues as a matter of course, usually without pointed discussion: action, not words was their example. Several of Bob's fellow fighter pilots in the US Navy had degrees in Biology, or Ecology, and they recommended reading that furthered his understanding of the environment and need for maintaining the interrelationships of species and for a landscape approach. Aldo Leopold's "A Sand County Almanac" was a seminal recommendation that generated insight into the need for what are now called apex consumers. Bob discovered Mountain Lion Foundation as part of his research to learn about America's lion, and found fellow travelers in his belief that we need to protect these magnificent cats to maintain their biological effectiveness to preserve our own well-being. Bob lives in Sammamish, Washington, close enough to the Wildland-Urban Interface that coyotes, deer, and occasionally, black bears visit. His four cats are indoor only, both for their protection, and also because they are efficient hunters that constitute an invasive species. Bob has a BS degree, an MBA, and a bad attitude toward those who value dollars over environment.
Robin Parks retired from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) in 2004 after a 25 year career in federal law enforcement. Robin's work required he work and live in various locations in the U.S., Europe, Mexico, and on U.S. Navy ships at sea. A life long admirer of the great cats, he began doing volunteer work at animal sanctuaries in California and elsewhere in 1999 where he first encountered captive mountain lions. This later led him to the Mountain Lion Foundation (MLF) where he has been a field volunteer on several projects. He now is very much involved in reaching out to law enforcement agencies who are so often the first responders to cougar incidents. Robin's presentations provide basic cougar biology and general safety tips, and address the "myths & misinformation" that surround cougars. He also discusses various "shoot/don't shoot" considerations and scenarios geared toward law enforcement personnel which show that killing a wayward cougar simply because it has wandered into human territory is rarely necessary and is often the wrong decision.
Julie West is a big cat advocate and digital media artist with an MFA in Video-Film from the California Institute of the Arts (CALARTS), where she produced From the Root Up, an award-winning documentary on stewardship and food. Julie joined the Mountain Lion Foundation team in March 2010 as a volunteer broadcaster and editor with MLF's ON AIR podcast program. She has worked as a writer, photographer, photo-editor and video producer/editor to facilitate personal and professional projects primarily for conservation and higher education organizations. She is currently a communications specialist for the Natural Sounds & Night Skies division of the National Park Service in Fort Collins, Colorado, where she raises awareness about natural viewsheds and sound resources. She is developing a project begun as a 2014-15 Fulbright Scholar in India on the subject of tiger conservation, which examines wildlife science and forestry management in tandem with cultural customs, folklore and Vedic teachings to draw out connections between ancient and contemporary eco-knowledge.
Kathryn is a California kid from the get-go. She was born in rural NorCal, and remembers being able to see both Shasta and Lassen from her grandparents' back pasture on clear days. She has three degrees in Linguistics from UC Berkeley, with specializations in California Native languages (especially Chumashan) and Celtic languages, is on the editorial board of The Journal of California Archaeology, and taught at UC Berkeley (as a Lecturer) for over 30 years. She can't recall a time when she didn't think of mountain lions as a wondrous part of the world, and though she has never had a wild encounter with one, assuring that they're out there in sustainable habitat and a healthy ecosystem, and that trophy hunting becomes a thing of the past, are goals worth working for. After retirement from UC in 2012, she began volunteering for MLF as a research assistant and outreach person. Thanks to her longtime university research background, she has a knack for tracking down difficult-to-find publications that MLF needs for its programs. Being able to be part of a community of individuals working together to make a real difference for the lions is an unexpected retirement blessing. At home, she lives with an elderly Abyssinian cat, whom she refers to as a "mini-cougar" thanks to the uncanny resemblance to his wild distant cousins.
Raj is an activist for MLF, campaigning for the protection of wildcats. Back in elementary school, a mountain lion found its way to his school. Ever since that incident, he has been quite intrigued by the felines and has followed up with his own research, attempting to find practical ways to circumvent these territory issues and prevent such encounters. His ideas, in the form of projects and essays, have won many prizes. He has successfully convinced people to write letters to senators, and campaigned to help pass Senate bills. He volunteers at events, and enjoys hearing people's unique stories. A man once told him that his grandson brought home a mountain lion cub, thinking it was a kitten! The family, worried that the mother lion would attack, rushed to keep the cub back in the woods. Another man donated for the cause, in spite of being jobless! Raj also educates people on how to protect their livestock, and shows them why wildcats have so much more to fear than we do. While he may have come a long way from that fateful day in elementary school, now heading into college, he continues to campaign for the cause. The joint victories in accomplishing goals at MLF are part of his best memories.
Leah Sturgis is a predator friendly rancher and a passionate voice for peaceful co-existence with predators. From the insights she gained growing up on an 800 acre ranch in Nevada, Leah has seen the benefits of predator friendly ranching first hand. Over the years she has become an advocate for peaceful co-existence between predators and ranching communities. With a background in Communications and over 15 years experience in the film and television industry, Leah has extensive experience in the visual arts and has produced and directed videos, commercials, live television programs, and a feature film. As her awareness grew about the atrocities being done to her local wildlife, Leah took action and became a Lobbyist in the Nevada State Legislature lobbying for trapping and predator management reform. She also holds a seat on the board of directors for the Nevada Wildlife Alliance, a pact working toward democratizing wildlife management in Nevada.
Chuck is an avid mountaineer, outdoorsman and wannabe naturalist. He has a life-long affinity for nature and wildlife. Chuck loves cats, from the smallest kittens to the largest tigers, and marvels at the remarkable scale over which they all commonly exhibit such particularly felid characteristics. An honored veteran, CSU graduate and practicing electrical engineer, Chuck enjoys volunteering his time and resources as his busy working life allows. Some of the organizations he enthusiastically supports are the Humane Society of the United States, Wylie Animal Rescue Foundation, Safe Haven Wildlife Sanctuary, and of course, Mountain Lion Foundation. Chuck says, "These are just some of the organizations that are making a difference for animals everywhere, and at all levels. And that's what it takes — support and a voice at the international, national, state, and local levels. I highly recommend folks who are considering lending their support to do so, in whatever capacity they are comfortable with, to help make a difference. Every dollar donated... every hour volunteered... every voice expressing support... is a welcome, meaningful contribution. And, it just makes you feel great!"
Jane always knew she would grow up to be a cat lady it just wasn't until fairly recently that the passion came to include a much larger feline, our local mountain lion. With a deep concern for their declining genetic diversity and a substantial increase in lions being killed on depredation permits in her area Jane began the Julian Mountain Lion Project. She was only on her own for a few short weeks before the Mountain Lion Foundation offered it's support and expertise and took the project under it's wing, greatly enhancing and expediting it's potential effectiveness. Although Jane is an advocate for mountain lion conservation she is simultaneously promoting safety for our neighborhoods, families, pets and livestock. She states that there are solutions to the unique challenges that living with mountain lions present and by working closely with the community through public events and individual home visits we can all win a safer environment for ourselves AND our mountain lions. She firmly believes that given the importance of our lion population to the survival and sustainability of all of Southern California's lions that Julian could become a model community of predator tolerance. Jane lives in Julian California with her husband, three dogs, several chickens, eleven cats, and an occasional puma visitor. She is also an artist who's favorite subject is, you guessed it, cats.
Brandi is a senior at UC Davis from San Diego, majoring in Environmental Science & Management with an emphasis in Natural Resources Management. Aside from taking classes, she is a Student Manager at the UC Davis Conference Center and the Marketing & Communications Manager for Wild Campus: a non-profit student organization dedicated to local environmental stewardship. Before and during college, she has spent time helping both disadvantaged people and animals in and out of state—even abroad! Brandi's first experience with undomesticated animals such as big cats, birds, and a variety of monkeys, was at the ARCAS Wildlife Rescue Center in Guatemala. Her experiences volunteering and exploring across the nation and abroad inspired her passions for social and environmental justice, as well as environmental policy. After graduation, Brandi plans to move back to San Diego to continue working with the County, volunteer in the community, and live a zero-waste lifestyle.
Lisa DiNicolantonio is a 5th year Environmental Science and Management major at University of California, Davis. Aside from taking classes at Davis, she also works for the university as a peer advisor, where she helps her classmates decide which classes they want to take based on their major and their interests. Some of her favorite activities are cooking, reading, photography, and hiking/backpacking. She grew up very close to Mt. Diablo, and began hiking and exploring the outdoors at a very young age! When she was younger, Lindsay Wildlife Museum, a wildlife rehabilitation center near her house, rescued a mountain lion from a man's back yard, where it was being kept as a pet. Unfortunately, the lion could not be released back into the wild since it was raised in captivity, but the wildlife center kept her there, giving her the best life they could and Lisa was able to see a mountain lion in person. This experience triggered her love for wildlife and activism to ensure that mountain lions are not kept as pets, but are able to live a natural life. After she graduates in June, she plans to move to Oregon, and continue working to preserve and restore the amazing planet we call home.
Mason is a third-year Field and Wildlife Biology major at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. His first foray into wildlife advocacy was as a keeper for Zoo To You in Paso Robles California, where he is involved in the care for many different wildlife species, including large felines; and in educating the public about the plight of wildlife worldwide. He was later elected president of the Cal Poly Wildlife Club, a student chapter of the Wildlife Society. Mason grew up in the Los Padres National Forest; he loves being outdoors, his favorite pastimes being tracking and photographing wildlife, and getting lost in the wilderness. In the future he hopes to contribute to the body of scientific knowledge surrounding mountain lions and other wildcat species, in order to aid in their conservation and management.
Elisa Fernandes-McDade is an aspiring ornithologist, so she has mostly done bird-centric internships with hunting and conservation organizations in the past. Working with the MLF is a departure from working with birds, but she really likes the idea of streamlining the research process for mountain lion researchers. While living in Brazil, Elisa once stood 10 feet away from a mountain lion guarding a freshly-killed rhea (she was defending it from a king vulture) — but she hasn't seen another since then! Elisa's dream is to work with seabirds in Maine because, she says, "having grown up in Hawai'i, the Northeast is very exotic to me."
Dylan is a senior in high school and has a passion for wildlife. She loves being around all kinds of animals and she volunteers for Classroom Safari and the Wild Cat Education and Conservation Fund handling exotic animals for the purpose of conservation education. She's acquired a broad set of skills and knowledge regarding veterinary medicine from her father who is a vet and has been willing to teach her throughout her life. Because of these wonderful opportunities and experiences, her dream career is one that involves the protection of wildlife. In her spare time, she really enjoys drawing, reading and writing as well as hiking, kayaking and snoozing in the sun.

I love the quality of these stickers! But most importantly, I LOVE the artwork! There are so many stickers out there to choose from, but most of the art isn't very good. Even KFD's latest baby boy artwork (and a lot of their other new artwork) isn't as good.

- Ready for integration, worldwide
- Manufacturing at Delphi plants
- 100,000 injectors in four years
Westport's High-Pressure Direct Injection (Westport™ HPDI) injectors are designed with a small diesel pilot spray and a larger gas spray. The diesel averages only about 5% of the total energy input and is used to start the main combustion of high-pressure, directly injected natural gas. Westport HPDI injectors are common-rail, diesel actuated, and electronically controlled. They power engines up to about 24 bar BMEP, with efficiencies equivalent to diesel engines.
Westport Innovations Inc. and Delphi Automotive PLC agreed to combine technologies and engineering capabilities to co-develop and manufacture high-pressure natural-gas fuel injectors, designed for several engine OEMs. The first product in their coordinated effort will become a core element of the HPDI 2.0 fuel system that Westport announced recently.
"Our agreement and investment with Delphi combines intellectual property with global production capacity at one of the world's most sophisticated injector facilities," stated Westport CEO David Demers. "Delphi's support for natural-gas fuel systems and Westport HPDI means having an integrated and dedicated manufacturing partner to develop and produce components that will help create a landmark product with industry defining pricing, quality and performance characteristics for global engine OEMs."
Westport is a Vancouver-based developer of alternative fuel and low-emissions technologies. On its own and in various joint ventures with automakers and engine manufacturers, Westport develops engines that operate on compressed natural gas, liquefied natural gas, hydrogen, and biofuels.
Delphi Automotive produces fuel injectors, among other technologies, for automotive and commercial vehicle manufacturers worldwide. Among its products are fuel system components used by heavy-duty diesel engine OEMs.
Westport HPDI is natural-gas combustion technology capable of performance and fuel economy standards equivalent to those of current high-performance diesel-fueled engines, but with diesel substitution of over 90%. Currently, Westport is working with seven OEM applications on "HPDI 2.0," which it indicated would be available in customers' products later this year. This new natural-gas technology will provide vehicle and engine OEMs with "a vertically integrated, natural-gas solution, with reduced costs and improved performance and fuel economy."
HPDI 2.0 system components will be supplied ready for integration to OEMs' operations worldwide, giving them a way to reach scalable volume as natural-gas markets grow.
Under the terms of their agreement, Westport will invest in equipment (including tooling), manufacturing, assembly, and end-of-line test equipment to be installed at Delphi's production sites. Delphi will provide injector designers and engineering resources to work with Westport's experts to optimize design, development, and manufacturing of the injectors. Their goal is to produce more than 100,000 injectors in the next four years.
Intellectual property rights that emerge from the development program will be jointly owned by Delphi and Westport, and maintained by Westport. Their statement claimed the injector would be a simplified design, adaptable to multiple engine platforms, thus lowering development and unit costs. They added that using Delphi's twin-valve technology would increase flow capacity and compatibility with high power and high power density applications, and that the combination of their designs and technical expertise would improve product reliability, extend service life, and reduce overall cost compared to current HPDI injectors.
"Delphi sees natural gas as an important part of mainstream transportation and believes that Westport HPDI will be the industry standard technology for natural gas-powered, heavy-duty applications," stated Jeff Owens, CTO of Delphi. "Working with Westport to create a highly scalable, quality production partnership and reduce system pricing for HPDI is a great opportunity to help change the trucking world."

Is Google Too Big to Sue Over Gmail Privacy Concerns?
Google, fighting claims that it illegally scans private e-mail messages, says it shouldn't have to face a lawsuit that lumps together hundreds of millions of Internet users. It may not have to, but the issues the lawsuit raises may be harder to deflect.
A case brought against Google in 2013 claims it violates a federal wiretap law, as well as several state privacy laws, by intercepting, reading, and mining the content of messages sent through its Gmail service, which has 104 million users in the U.S. The information, the suit claims, is used to target ads and build user profiles.
Privacy experts say the case raises important questions about how companies such as Google and other Internet companies make money from user data for a digital ad market that generated $42 billion in the U.S. last year. (Yahoo!, Facebook, and LinkedIn are facing similar actions.)
The Google lawsuit is what's known as a consolidated action, combining several lawsuits filed from 2010 to 2012 by Gmail users and other e-mail services in states including Texas, Pennsylvania, and Florida. The case seeks to represent a class of plaintiffs numbering in the hundreds of millions. That number includes non-Gmail users whose messages make their way through the Gmail system and users of other services, such as Google Apps for Education, which powers e-mail services at many universities. Class-action status would allow plaintiffs to pool resources and put greater pressure on Google to settle the case.
The plaintiffs face "a very steep hurdle" to proceed as a class, says Deborah Hensler, a law professor at Stanford University, adding that only 10 percent to 20 percent of cases filed as class actions are allowed to go forward.
At a Feb. 27 hearing in San Jose, Federal District Judge Lucy Koh considered whether to grant class-action status. (She hasn't said when she will issue her ruling; the case is scheduled for trial in October.) Koh earlier denied Google's attempt to dismiss the case by rejecting its argument that users agreed to the scanning when they accepted Gmail's service terms and privacy policies and that non-Gmail users should have known their messages were being intercepted. Google doesn't deny scanning e-mails.
The billions of messages at issue raise the possibility of an unmanageable amount of evidence over whether Gmail senders and recipients were aware of the automatic scanning, Google said in a court filing. The class action would "indiscriminately amass together virtually everyone in the United States with a non-Gmail e-mail account, along with large groups of the over 400 million people who use Gmail and Google Apps," making it impossible to build and defend the case, the company said. At the hearing, Koh expressed skepticism about the non-Gmail users being part of the class and the court's ability to adequately verify information in determining who is eligible to join the class. "We're not a government agency of verifying birth dates," Koh said.
Details about how Google scans messages are murky—key documents in the case are under seal or have been heavily redacted. But some privacy experts say evidence introduced at the Feb. 27 hearing is problematic for Google.
Plaintiffs' lawyer Sean Rommel presented information about a device Google uses to intercept e-mails called the Content One box. Originally, the device was used in the Gmail storage system to intercept and scan e-mail traffic. Then Google discovered Content One could not extract information from unopened or deleted e-mails, or from e-mails accessed by phones or through Microsoft Outlook, Rommel said. So the company allegedly reconfigured the process in 2010 to capture user data before messages are delivered to the intended recipient, not after they are stored in a user's e-mail account. "There is not a single disclosure in the record that identifies, alerts, tells anybody that there is an interception occurring," Rommel said. At the hearing, Google's lawyers did not deny the existence and use of the Content One box. The company declined to comment.
If that evidence is true, says Chris Hoofnagle, a University of California at Berkeley law professor, it strongly supports the plaintiffs' arguments that Google's conduct is illegal and violates federal wiretapping laws. "Stored communications get fewer protections," he says. "But with live or unopened communications, courts are much more likely to interpret that as a wiretap." It raises the question of whether Google is adhering to data-mining agreements that apply to many university employees at Berkeley and other schools whose e-mail programs use the Gmail service, he says. "It's inappropriate to allow a company to generate knowledge from those documents," Hoofnagle says. "I don't think we understand how valuable the information is and the consequences of it."
The bottom line: A lawsuit alleging Google intercepts e-mails raises important questions for big Internet and social media companies.

It's the movie freak and the movie geek– Find out what to buy, what to rent and what to AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE as Damon talks to local movie reviewer extraordinaire, Sam Hatch from Culture Dogs about this week's new movie releases!
It's been a quiet couple of weeks on the home video front, so Sam and Damon decided to go BIG, with a look at some of the biggest blockbusters currently showing at the movies. Here's Sam's advice on what flicks to check out, and which ones you should probably wait for cable on.
Monsters University
There's stuff for the kids galore right now! Monsters University is the latest from Pixar, a prequel to Monsters Inc. It features Sully and Mike Wazowski, and they weren't friends at the beginning, so it really goes into their friendship.
The Lone Ranger
It's kind of like Pirates of the Caribbean, and it's long– so get ready to spend two and a half hours watching it. But Armie Hammer is really good and Johnny Depp's Tonto steals the show.
Despicable Me 2
Really cute, and better than the first one. The minions are the most adorable part of this solid sequel, and the villain finds a way to mutate the little yellow guys into purple, fuzzy monster minions, which doubles the minion action.
World War Z
This one's interesting, because the advance word of mouth was how it was overblown, with a re-shot ending, and rumors it would be a box office disaster. But guess what? It's a tense, enthralling story and a solid, well done movie… like Zero Dark Thirty with zombies.
White House Down
You should probably steer clear of this one.
This Is The End
This comedy stars all the Judd Apatow actors such as James Franco and Seth Rogen, all playing themselves as the world ends. It's pretty raunchy but hilarious.
The Heat
Also slightly raunchy– but also very funny– this one stars Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy and it's getting great buzz. It beat White House Down at the box office last weekend!

It's Tax Time!
Wed, February 06, 2013
Every tax season, thousands of people leave thousands of dollars on the table in the form of valuable tax credits. For example, according to the IRS, one in five eligible individuals does not claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) — which can be a big boost to family budgets — simply because they do not file their taxes or are unaware that they qualify to receive it. This year, don't take that chance — take advantage of free tax preparation services.
"I didn't realize I was going to spend that much money by hiring someone to file my taxes," Janean Williams says. "Especially when I realized that I could have my taxes filed for free, the $300 I've spent in the past could have been better used for transportation or groceries." Janean is a mother and wife like so many community members who aren't aware of all tax benefits and refunds available to them. For the first time this year, she will be participating in the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program through which specially trained volunteers will help her file her taxes free of charge and ensure Janean receives the full refund available.
The VITA program is a locally-run IRS-supported tax preparation service that is free for families and individuals making a total household income of less than $51,000 per year. Tax preparation done right can result in valuable tax credits, like the EITC for low-income workers — worth up to $5,891, which can make a big difference in an annual family budget.
VITA volunteers provide individuals like Janean with free one-on-one tax filing support at tax assistance sites throughout the region. In fact, last year, more than 20,000 tax returns were filed through VITA, returning approximately $28.5 million to local communities. For a complete listing of tax sites in your county and additional information on eligibility, visit www.unitedforimpact.org/VITA. For those that prefer to file their state and federal taxes for free online and have a household income of below $57,000, please visit United Way's My Free Taxes website.
This tax season, don't leave valuable dollars on the table. Stay informed about tax services available to you and spread the word to your family and friends!

Laïcité, Fraternité, and Nationalité: Discontinuities in French Jewish Discourse
Association for Jewish Studies (AJS), Spring 2011
In general, French Jews have always supported laïcité, a term that is usually translated as secularism. At the beginning of the century, Jews supported the Republican government's attempts to contain the power of the Catholic Church in the name of laïcité. After World War II, many surviving French Jews welcomed a return to laïcité after Vichy's deadly foregrounding and essentialization of religious identities. Today, many French Jews, and almost all institutional elites, approve of legislation designed to "reinforce" laïcité, including the 2004 decision to outlaw "ostentatious" religious symbols in public schools and the 2010 ban of the burqa in public spaces. Articulating a widely held position, Richard Prasquier, the president of one of the largest Jewish organizations in France, noted that the burqa "humiliates women" and undermines the face-to-face relations that form the foundation of social life in France. But this continuous support for laïcité hides a fundamental shift in many French Jews' attitudes toward religious pluralism and minority rights. This shift, in turn, highlights a potentially dangerous new trend in French Jewish negotiations of national identity, one that depends on distinguishing between and among religious minorities in order to claim Jewish Frenchness.

Man guys, lately I just can't make myself work with my dog. We go through the standard throw and catch proceedures, but I find myself totally unmotivated for anything of substance. Some of you know that I started on HOLD a couple weeks ago.......well, I'm still there. Through no fault of my dog we are basically at square one......I've yet to complete HOLD. I have found the process to be not too difficult but at the end of the day I barely have enough time for my kids, much less my dog. Sorry boy, but the wee ones out rank you. Frankly I feel guilty about it. I come home from work like death warmed over and he is freakin out at the glass door for me to come out and play with him. Meanwhile my son wants me to color with him and my daughter wants to play Barbies. I won't mention the wife's issues. Somedays adulthood and responsibilty doesn't measure up to what we as men really want to do. Geez, now I feel like a whiny baby. Surley you can relate? Alright, now that I've self-medicated through spilling my meltdown, it's time to take a step back, re-evaluate and put everything in order. Further bulletins pending future freak-outs.
P.S. Sorry guys.....started out as a dog training pick me up and turned into psychotherapy.

September 5, 2007About I'm So Bershon Bershon is a word that I'm pretty sure is not really a word at all, but my friend Erin and I, growing up in two different cities, both encountered it separately in our youth. Both of us heard it used in exactly the same manner, namely the cool girls in middle school rolling their eyes and saying, "… and Kayla said yes, and I was like, ohmyGOD, whatever, I'm SO BERSHON." The spirit of bershon is pretty much how you feel when you're 13 and your parents make you wear a C…

Today, the cover of the Daily News teases a story about Philly cops cracking down on strip clubs and prostitution. The story focuses on a sting operation that landed some ladies in hot water for soliciting undercover officers in a strip joint. A piece on Phawker this afternoon calls out the Daily News for running the picture they did and for trying to, "pass it off as journalism." [Phawker]

Product Highlights
The black Lino Collection: Pro VII Roller from Manfrotto not only allows you to travel in a professional and organized manner but makes it pleasant along the way. This rolling case is designed for the journeyman who needs a durable, multi-featured case that can get you from A-B, while holding a ton of gear, safely and comfortably.
The combination nylon/leather exterior is water-repellent so there's no need to worry about walking from the parking lot to the airline terminal when the weather is wet. The treated leather also adds an additional measure of fashion to an already stylish and very functional case that only weighs 11 lb. Even the zippers have been specially treated to be water-protected. Above and beyond all this, Manfrotto has included a built-in, fold-out rain cover that protects the entire case - including your externally mounted tripod.
The two wheels provide ease of operation on ramps or while navigating through hallways while the retractable trolley handle provides a firm and ergonomically designed grip. However, if you just need to remove the case from the trunk of your car, there's a strong grab-handle for that job. For those big photo jobs where you'll need a tripod, no problem. The Pro VII Roller permits you to secure yours to the front of case using the included connectors. And, for table top tripods, there are storage pockets within the case to hold Manfrotto Pocket Tripods.
Inside the Pro VII, you'll find the case is just as engaging as its exterior. With room to hold two DSLR camera bodies, 6-8 lenses, flash and numerous accessories, there is also a really neat and removable 17" (43.2cm) laptop sleeve. But we'll talk more about that in a minute. The array of lenses you can take along will all be stored within their own spaces using the Pro VII's padded and interchangeable dividers. Depending on the job at hand, you have complete creative freedom to configure the interior to suit whatever equipment you are traveling with. There is a mesh organizer pocket for small items like filters, pens and business cards. However, Manfrotto didn't stop there. In the rear of the case, there's a cleverly designed zippered access pocket in which you can store cables, batteries, your iPhone, MP3 player - even personal stuff like tickets, passports and other forms of ID. Imagine the sheer pleasure of not having to stop and open the entire case where everyone around you can see the expensive equipment you're traveling with - just to retrieve your ticket. Simply, unzip the pocket, which I remind you, is in the rear of the case so no one can see inside, remove your personals and swiftly move through the checkpoint. Talk about convenience. Now, let's get back to that laptop sleeve.
Occasionally, you may want to do some work. The Pro VII Roller provides you with a unique and convenient way to fetch your computer. When you need the computer, zip the front lid down, pull out the sleeve, zip the case closed, sit down and do your work. The sleeve is held in place by nylon straps and is complete with its own handle. For more peace of mind, there are Flexi Dividers that separate the computer from your photo gear and which provide a protective barrier preventing the two components from rubbing together. And should you not need the Flexis, such as when you're not traveling with your computer, just fold them out of the way.
Manfrotto's Pro VII Roller is well-named. It's a serious case for the serious shooter who is in it for the long haul and who doesn't want to have to buy a second case after that inexpensive first one falls apart.

1. Re: Call Enterprise Bean (or Database) from private Method in Session-Bean810311 Dec 21, 2010 2:48 PM (in response to 810311)Found the answer by myself....
Here it is if someone might have the same question:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3381002 or if the link may down sometime the content of the answer...
The motivation here is that most EJB implementations work on proxies. You wouldn't be too far off in thinking of it as old-school AOP. The business interface is implemented by the EJB container, quite often via a simple java.lang.reflect.Proxy, and this object is handed to everyone in the system who asks for the ejb via @EJB or JNDI lookup.
The proxy is hooked up to the container and all calls on it go directly to the container who will preform security checks, start/stop/suspend transactions, invoke interceptors, etc. etc. and then finally delegate the call to the bean instance -- and of course do any clean up required due to any exceptions thrown -- then finally hand the return value over through the proxy to the caller.
Calling this.foo() directly, or passing 'this' to a caller so they can make direct calls as well, will skip all of that and the container will be effectively cut out of the picture. The 'getBusinessObject(Class)' method allows the bean instance to essentially get a proxy to itself so it can invoke its own methods and make use of the container management services associated with it -- interceptors, transaction management, security enforcement, etc.

SeaWorld says San Diego killer whale is pregnant
By Sharon Bernstein
SACRAMENTO Calif. (Reuters) - A killer whale at SeaWorld is pregnant, the San Diego theme park said Tuesday, a development welcomed by the company but decried by animal rights activists trying to outlaw the breeding of captive orcas and "Shamu" shows that feature them doing tricks.
The news of the pregnancy comes weeks after California lawmakers effectively killed a closely watched bill that would have banned SeaWorld from continuing its breeding program and from using killer whales to perform tricks at its California park.
"The calf's birth is expected in December," said spokesman Dave Koontz. Killer whales have a 17 1/2 month gestation period.
The baby would be the sixth at SeaWorld's San Diego park, and the 32nd at parks owned by the company since 1985, Koontz said. It would be the first calf borne by Kalia, a 9 1/2-year-old killer whale born at the park and still living with her own mother Kasatka.
Animal rights activists, some of whom have speculated for months that Kalia might be pregnant, were outraged at the announcement, saying that the mother-to-be is too young to have been impregnated.
"SeaWorld routinely breeds its females too young," said Naomi Rose, an orca biologist who has been active in trying to ban the breeding program and the shows. "In the wild, killer whale females don't have their first calf until they are around 12 to 14 years of age."
SeaWorld's orca breeding and entertainment programs have come under close scrutiny in recent months following the release of the documentary "Blackfish," which tells the story of an orca that killed a trainer at the company's park in Orlando, Florida, in 2010.
The movie quotes former SeaWorld trainers who say that orcas, which have highly evolved social structures and use sophisticated calls to communicate, do not thrive in captivity and can become dangerous. Continued...

Lucky Strike Cigarettes was first introduced by R.A. Patterson of Richmond, Virginia, in 1871 as a cut-plug chewing cheap tobacco smokes and later a discount cigarettes. In 1905, the company was acquired by the American Tobacco Company (ATC), and Lucky Strike would later prove to be its answer to R.J. Reynolds' Camel.
In 1917, the discount smokes brand started using the slogan "It's Toasted" to inform consumers about the manufacturing method in which the cheap tobacco is toasted rather than sun-dried. The message "L.S.M.F.T." ("Lucky Strike means fine tobacco") was introduced on the package in the same year.
In 1935, ATC began to sponsor Your Hit Parade, featuring North Carolina discount tobacco cigarettes auctioneer Speed Riggs. The weekly radio show's countdown catapulted the discount cheap cigarettes success and would remain popular for 25 years. The shows capitalized on the tobacco smokes auction theme and each ended with the signature phrase "Sold, American."
The brand's signature dark green pack was changed to white in 1942. In a famous advertising campaign that used the slogan "Lucky Strike Green has gone to war", the company claimed the change was made because the copper used in the green color was needed for World War II. American Cigarettes Tobacco actually used chromium to produce the green ink, and copper to produce the gold-colored trim.
A limited supply of each discount Lucky Strike cigarettes was available, and substitute materials made the package look drab. However, the truth of the matter was that the white package Lucky Strike cigarettes was introduced to modernize the label and to increase the appeal of the package among female smokers; market studies showed that the green package was not found attractive to women smokers who had become an important consumer of discount cigarettes Lucky Strike. The war effort became a convenient way to make the product more marketable while appearing as patriotic at the same time.
In 1978 and 1994, export rights and US cigarettes market rights were purchased by Brown & Williamson. In the 1960s, filtered styles were launched in addition to a mentholated version called "Lucky Strike Cigarettes Green". This time "Green" was referring to menthol and not to the overall package color. In late 2006 both the Full Flavored and filtered varieties of Lucky Strike discount cigarettes were discontinued in North America.
However, Lucky Strike will continue to have marketing and distribution support in territories controlled by British American Tobacco as a global drive discount cigarettes brand. In addition, R.J. Reynolds continues to market the original, non-filter Lucky Strikes Cigarettes in the United States.
Online Lucky Strikes Cigarettes currently have a small but very loyal base of smokers. In 2007 a new packaging of discount Lucky Strikes Cigarettes was released, with a 2 way opening which split 7 cigarettes smokes from the rest. In the same year, the company used the world's smallest man, He Pingping, in their ad campaigns.

JERUSALEM – Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei suspects that members of his country's Revolutionary Guard close to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad were behind an assassination attempt on Khamenei's life, according to Saudi and Egyptian security officials.
Among those being questioned is Khamenei's own son, Mojtaba, who heads the country's Basij militia, a paramilitary volunteer militia that operates under the auspices of the Revolutionary Guard, the sources tell me.
The officials note the suspicion of Mojtaba goes all the way to Ali Khamenei himself, who has recently been disappointed his son has grown somewhat close to the rival camp of Ahmadinejad.
Mojtaba Khamenei has in the past been seen as a possible future replacement of his father.
Hours ago, the pan-Arab news Channel Al Arabiya reported that Khamenei ordered the arrest of a number of senior members of the Revolutionary Guard he suspects of plotting to assassinate him.
Both the Saudi and Egyptian officials say their information indicates Khamenei suspects Ahmadinejad's camp even more strongly than the possibility of foreign involvement in the purported assassination plot.
Ahmadinejad and Khamenei have been locked in a public spat over disagreements about the future direction of the country, with Khamenei threatening to abolish the Iranian presidency altogether.
Khamenei strongly believes in the export of the Shiite Islamic revolution, while Ahmadinejad seems to favor a policy based on the expansion of Persian nationalism.
Just last month, Iran's judiciary sentenced one of Ahmadinejad's closest advisers, Ali Akbar Javanfekr, to a year in jail for articles he wrote that were deemed contrary to Shiite Islamic norms.
Last May, reports claimed Ahmadinejad was even contemplating resigning after Heidar Moslehi, the intelligence minister he had sacked, was reinstated by Khamenei.
Ironically, the latest developments come as the Iranian government filed a complaint with Interpol regarding comments made during U.S. congressional hearings last October in which calls to assassinate top figures in Tehran's militias were made, CNS News reported today.
An Oct. 26 House Homeland Security Committee subcommittee hearing on "Iranian Terror Operations on American Soil" focused on the Revolutionary Guard Corps' foreign operations wing, the Qods Force, which at the time stood accused of planning terror attacks on U.S. soil, including the assassination of the Saudi ambassador in Washington.
During the hearing, two American experts made the alleged threats against Iran — Former U.S. Army Vice Chief of Staff Gen. Jack Keane and Foundation for Defense of Democracies Senior Fellow Reuel Marc Gerecht, a former CIA operative.
Keane's testimony included the suggestion of cyberattacks, covert actions and assassinations against the Qods forces.
"Why are we permitting the Qods Force leaders, who have been organizing this killing of us for 30 years, to go around, still walking around?" he asked. "Why don't we kill them? We kill other people who are running terrorist organizations against the United States. These guys have killed almost a thousand of us. Why don't we kill them?"
Gerecht made similar remarks. He said: "Iran would not look like the country it is today if they were concerned about the bottom line…So I don't think that you're going to really intimidate these people, get their attention, unless you shoot somebody – it's pretty blunt, but I don't think you get to get around it."
