Re: HELP Dinan Suspension and Exhaust
Originally posted by jonas
I am so confused that I not even know where to start, I got my Dinan stage II suspension this week and I went to install today, before I did that I went to talk to a friend with mechanic inclinations as I am trying to do this as a hobby and I already installed the CAI and brake pads, which I never had done in my life until a few months ago. Now it comes my questioning after you guys knowing that I am close to what it can be called mechanic illiterate.
1. I went today to Pep Boys and I got a torque wrench, and some spring compressors, my question is do I need an Impact wrench to work on the suspension of our cars? My friend told me that I would need that to unbolt the "Jesus" nut that goes in the top of front shock, otherwise the shock would run together with the nut itself and would never get off, as he said that I need all the torque at once to pull that nut out of the top of the shock. Does it makes any sense to you guys? The tool cost 79.00 and I don't think that I will be making too many suspension inroads after this one.
2. Does anyone know a good DIY on the Dinan suspension, their instructions are good but not as detailed as I would need as an enthusiast mechanic wannabe.
3. I saw Vinnimac tool to cut the exhaust pipe, and I have a few questions, do I only clamp the Dinan exhaust on the cutted pipe? Do I need to have a gasket or something like that in order for it not to leak? If I am going back to stock how do I do that? And last what is Vinnimac's tool to cut the pipe, can I use a saw to do it?
I know that is a lot of questions, but I am really f@*#&up here with this thing that I decided to do not knowing the entire game plan.
Thanks in advance!
C'monn peeps no one knows anything?

Chicago Bets on Risky Futures
Chicago's two major futures exchanges and its options exchange are joining forces to bring a controversial product to the U.S. -- futures on individual stocks. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange joined hands on May 14 with the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) and the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) to set up a joint-venture company to introduce so-called "single-stock futures." Says CBOE Chief Executive William J. Brodsky: "Our willingness to work together on this venture will ensure that Chicago remains the world center in derivatives trading and risk management."
But it remains an open question just how receptive investors will be to the futures, which have gotten off to a slow start in Britain. Trading in the contracts on the London International Financial Futures & Options Exchange (LIFFE) began on Jan. 29 and remains modest, far overshadowed by the trading of equity options and other products there. What's more, it's far from clear that the Chicago markets will work all that enthusiastically to pitch the products. Admits one Chicago partner, CBOT Chief Executive Officer David J. Vitale, "a lot of people are quite skeptical."
The potential is certainly there. The joint venture should get a hefty share of the market for similar products that now trade around the world in such forms as swaps and so-called synthetic futures built by using offsetting equity options, says Merc Chief Executive Officer James J. McNulty. Until federal law was changed last year, futures on single stocks had been barred in the U.S. since the early 1980s, while regulators fought over who would oversee the products. Losses on futures can be far larger than on straight equity or options trading.
The Chicago Board of Trade appears less enthralled with the products' prospects than its other two partners. The CBOT is taking a junior position in the venture, and will hold just a 10% stake, while the other two Chicago bourses each hold 45%. The CBOT's backseat role was underscored in the May 14 announcement, staged by the Merc and the CBOE, whose officials crowded the table at a press conference in Chicago. By contrast, CBOT Chief Executive Vitale took an offstage seat in the audience. And CBOT Chairman Nicholas Neubauer, who did not attend, commented only for a press release, saying his members "will make important contributions to the success of this venture."
Indeed, it may take an enormous amount of interest on the part of members of all the exchanges to make a success out of single-stock futures. They haven't been rockets in London. On May 14, for instance, just 5,406 such single-stock futures contracts changed hands at the LIFFE, compared with nearly 790,000 products of other kinds. Equity options alone outnumbered single-stock futures by nearly 4-1, with 20,966 such options traded on the London market.
Part of the reason for the lackluster debut on the LIFFE is that the exchange has moved slowly to popularize the products. It trades futures on just 65 stocks, including 25 that were added on May 14. Such newcomers as AOL-Time Warner and Wal-Mart Stores joined the likes of Bristol-Myers Squibb, Pfizer, and European stalwarts as BNP Paribas and Barclays.
What's more, the pace of popularization may grow, since Nasdaq on Mar. 26 announced plans to partner with LIFFE to offer single-stock futures in both the U.S. and Europe. Nasdaq Chairman Frank G. Zarb predicted at the time that the futures would "become important investment vehicles" in both the U.S. and Europe.
The Chicago bourses won't be keeping would-be traders waiting too long. By law, institutions will have the right to trade futures on single stocks as of Aug. 21, and then individual investors will get the go-ahead on Dec. 21. Soon after, it may become clear just whether these products will be the next big thing for investors around the world -- or just another risky offering.

Customer Reviews
Umm the reviews for this app are really weird
It seems perfect in every way to me. Clean intuitive accurate and the app certainly does change and rotate when the aspect ratio of the phone changes it's orientation from portrait to landscape mode. I keep trying to get it to not work like the other review said, but it does work correctly every time. So put me down I'm staying.
Works great with a few oddities
I mostly love this app. For the movie descriptions, it's extremely tough to hit the "more" text successfully (usually takes me several tries) – don't know why there's still no fix for that. I also can't stand the mini yellow-on-black text. But I appreciate the app in general for the easy access to lots of trailers and frequent new content.
Seems ok but.....
Don't really use it a lot. More or less just to check out new movies being released soon or on the future. I put a lot of movies in my favorites list. Giving my rating of two stars because when I try to bring up my favorites list to view, I see nothing but a blank screen. No point in having s favorites option if you're not able to view it.

Abu Al-Asar Hafeez Jullundhri (Urdu: ابو الاثر حفیظ جالندھری) (born 14 January 1900 – 21 December 1982) was a Pakistani Urdu-language poet who wrote the lyrics for the National Anthem of Pakistan.[1] Another most widely used shorter name for him in Pakistan is Hafeez Jalandhri- this name spelling shown on the postage stamp issued in his honour by the Pakistan Post office.[2]
Early life[edit]
Jullundhri was born in Jalandhar, Punjab, British India on 14 January 1900. His father, Shams-ud-Din, was a Hafiz-e-Qur'an. Jullundhri initially studied in a mosque school and later joined a local school. He only received formal education until the seventh grade.
After the independence of Pakistan in 1947, Jullundhri migrated to Lahore in the new state of Pakistan.[2]
Literary career[edit]
From 1922 to 1929, Jullundhri remained the editor of a few monthly magazines namely, Nonehal, Hazar Dastaan, Teehzeeb-e-Niswan, and Makhzin. His first collection of poems Nagma-e-Zar was published in 1935. After World War II, he worked as the director of the Song Publicity Department. During this same time he wrote songs that were much liked by the public.[3]
Jullundhri actively participated in Pakistan Movement and used his writings to inspire people for the cause of Pakistan. In early 1948, he joined the forces for the freedom of Kashmir and got wounded. Jullundhri wrote the Kashmiri Anthem, "Watan Hamara Azad Kashmir". He wrote many patriotic songs during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965.[1]
Jullundhri served as Director General of morals in Pakistan Armed Forces, and then in a very prominent position as an adviser to the President, Field Marshal Mohammad Ayub Khan and also a Director of Writers Guild of Pakistan.[1]
Jullundhri's work of poetry, Shahnam-e-Islam, gave him incredible fame which, in the manner of Firdowsi's Shahnameh, is a record of the glorious history of Islam in verse. Jullundhri wrote the national anthem of Pakistan composed by Ahmed Ghulamali Chagla also known as Ahmed G Chagla. He is unique in Urdu poetry for the enchanting melody of his voice and lilting rhythms of his songs and lyrics. His poetry generally deals with romantic, religious, patriotic and natural themes. He chose his themes, images and tunes from the subcontinent and his language was a fine blend of Hindi and Urdu diction, reflecting the composite culture of South Asia.[1] One of his most famous poem 'Abhi Toh Mein Jawan Hoon' was sung by Malika Pukhraj in the 1950s with music by the renowned Pakistani music director Master Inayat Hussain which is still popular among the public in 2016.[4]
Jullundhri married his cousin, Zeenat Begum, in 1917 at the age of 17. They had seven children, all girls. In 1939, he took a young English woman of Lithuanian descent, Anela, as his second wife. They had a daughter; the marriage ended in divorce. His first wife, Zeenat Begum, died in 1954. In 1955, Jullundhri married Khurshid Begum, with whom he had a daughter.[1]
Jullundhri died in Lahore, Pakistan, on 21 December 1982 at the age of 82. Buried in Model Town, Lahore, his remains were later shifted to a tomb built by the Government of Pakistan near the Minar-e-Pakistan in Lahore, the site of the Pakistan Resolution.
Awards and recognition[edit]
- For his literary and patriotic services to Pakistan, Jullundhri was awarded the Hilal-i-Imtiaz Award by the President of Pakistan.[2]
- Pride of Performance Award in 1958 by the Government of Pakistan.[2]
Literary works[edit]
Jullundhri primarily wrote Urdu poetry, generally dealing with romantic, religious, patriotic and natural themes.
Qaumi Tarana: The National Anthem of Pakistan[edit]
Jullundhri is most famous for writing the lyrics for the Qaumi Tarana, the national anthem of Pakistan, which he wrote in 1952.
Jullundhri's monumental work of poetry, Shahnama-e-Islam, which gave him fame, is, in the manner of Firdowsi's Shahnama, a narration of Islamic history in verse.

Bleak House opens in the twilight of foggy London, where fog grips the city most densely in the Court of Chancery. The obscure case of Jarndyce and Jarndyce, in which an inheritance is gradually devoured by legal costs, the romance of Esther Summerson and the secrets of her origin, the sleuthing of Detective Inspector Bucket and the fate of Jo the crossing-sweeper, these are some of the lives Dickens invokes to portray London society, rich and poor, as no other novelist has done. Bleak House, in its atmosphere, symbolism and magnificent bleak comedy, is often regarded as the best of Dickens. A 'great Victorian novel', it is so inventive in its competing plots and styles that it eludes interpretation.
Charles Dickens was born on February 7, 1812, in Landport, Portsea, England. He died in Kent on June 9, 1870. The second of eight children of a family continually plagued by debt, the young Dickens came to know not only hunger and privation,but also the horror of the infamous debtorsand#8217; prison and the evils of child labor. A turn of fortune in the shape of a legacy brought release from the nightmare of prison and and#8220;slaveand#8221; factories and afforded Dickens the opportunity of two yearsand#8217; formal schooling at Wellington House Academy. He worked as an attorneyand#8217;s clerk and newspaper reporter until his Sketches by Boz (1836) and The Pickwick Papers (1837) brought him the amazing and instant success that was to be his for the remainder of his life. In later years, the pressure of serial writing, editorial duties, lectures, and social commitments led to his separation from Catherine Hogarth after twenty-three years of marriage. It also hastened his death at the age of fifty-eight, when he was characteristically engaged in a multitude of work.

Professor Lahouari Addi, Ms. Amel Boubekeur, Dr. Sue Onslow (chair)
22 March 2011, 6:30pm, COL.B212
This discussion was particularly topical in view of the recent events in Tunisia and Egypt, and the contrasting developments and violence in Libya, and the decision by UNO members to institute a no-fly zone. Pressure for political change in Algeria shares many of the same sources and similarities of grievances elsewhere in Northern Africa and the Middle East region, yet there is very rarely informed discussion or reports in the British media. Professor Lahouari Addi's frank discussion of the contributory role of the particular colonial legacies, post-independence developments and in particular the events and violence of the 1990s which helped to set the position of the army in the Algerian political scene firmly in its broader context. Professor Addi pointed to the tensions within the army hierarchy between the junior officers and senior staff, and differing generational approaches to the army's role in 'managing' change. Specifically, the divergence between repression, and a desire for the institution to present itself as the guardians of democracy along the lines of the Turkish Army. This contrasts markedly with the repressive and insidious role of the Algerian internal security services, which has stifled legitimate discussion and debate, leading to a political vacuum which encourages the use of violence as the only means of exerting pressure for change. In Professor Addi's view, security sector reform is therefore key to any future political transformation of the Algerian state and society.
In contrast to this 'view from the top', Ms Amel Boubekeur presented a detailed picture of the variety and overlapping sources of social discontent and mobilisation. This was a welcome alternative analysis of the complexity of Algerian civil society, and its implications for social mobilisation into a coherent opposition movement to the current regime of President Abdelaziz Bouteflika. In the Question and Answer session, Ms Boubekeur also explained the development and modification of Islamism in political thought and organisation. In her concluding remarks, Dr Onslow pointed out the dynamic and interactive process between elite politics and organisation, and grass roots mobilisation in Algeria.
Professor Lahouari Addi of Science Po, Lyon, is an expert in matters dealing with the role of the military in Algerian politics and debates on transition to democratic rule. His writings have generated considerable discussion and controversy in Algeria. He is also a former visiting professor to Princeton University, USA.
Amel Boubekeur is a research fellow at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales and Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris. She has been an an associate scholar at the Carnegie Middle East Center in Beirut and the head of the Islam and Europe Programme at the Centre for European Policy Studies in Brussels. Her research focuses on Maghreb politics and Islam in Europe.

Oscar Madison, in my opinion, is one the greatest fictional characters ever created. And, for those of you that don't know, The Odd Couple is one of my favorite TV shows of all time. So, to put it mildly, my Christmas was a little bit off this year, because on Christmas Eve, the world lost Oscar Madison when the gifted actor, Jack Klugman passed away at the age of 90. I know this is not a political column, but sometimes I can do what I want on my web site.
Some of my earliest memories of TV were watching The Odd Couple on Friday nights in the early 70s during it's original run. And, then it continued to humor me ad infinitum in reruns. I had the pleasure of meeting Jack a few times in the past twenty years and each time he was a gentleman. He was also always ready to talk about Tony.
Klugman's career spanned more than six decades with award-winning performances in theatre, television and film, but it was his portrayal of the 'every-slob' Oscar Madison, opposite the uber-sanitary Felix Unger (portrayed by his closest friend Tony Randall) in the classic television series The Odd Couple for which he is instantly remembered.
[vsw id="jS6IfPVBk6g" source="youtube" width="425″ height="344″ autoplay="no"]
Klugman was born Jacob Joachim Klugman on April 27,1922 in Philadelphia, PA. He began his career on the New York stage and made his Broadway debut in Clifford Odets' Golden Boy in 1952. He would go on to appear in numerous stage productions, and was nominated for a Tony Award for his role as Herbie, opposite Ethel Merman in Gypsy. In the '60's he got his first opportunity to step into the sneakers of Oscar Madison, as he replaced Walter Matthau in the original Broadway production of The Odd Couple.
During the Golden Age of Television, many production utilized talent from the New York stage in their casts, and Klugman was no exception. He found work on such television shows as Actor's Studio and The Philco Television Playhouse. It was in a 1955 episode of Appointment with Adventure, produced by David Susskind, where Klugman first appeared and acted opposite the man with whom he would later be inextricably linked—Tony Randall. Klugman was awarded for his first Emmy for his performance on the series The Defenders in 1964. He appeared in countless series including the classic episode of The Twilight Zone in which he played a game of pool with Jonathan Winters with the stakes being life and death.
[vsw id="0tXiQc2B-JU" source="youtube" width="425″ height="344″ autoplay="no"]
For his role as the slovenly sportswriter, Oscar Madison, in The Odd Couple, he received two Emmys and millions of laughs in the show's five-season run. Even though his starring role as medical examiner Quincy lasted for eight seasons, Klugman would first and forever be thought of as Oscar, Oscar, Oscar. His partnership with Randall continued far beyond the series, as the two performed their iconic characters on stage in Neil Simon's original play, as well as other stage productions including The Sunshine Boys.
Klugman's well-publicized treatment for throat cancer did not deter the actor from pursuing his craft, and at the urging of Tony Randall, they incorporated his recovery from the disease into his familiar persona of Oscar Madison for the television movie The Odd Couple: Together Again. After Randall's death, Klugman turned author with [amazon_link id="0976830302″ target="_blank" ]Tony and Me: A Story of Friendship[/amazon_link], a book that recounted the details of their friendship that spanned over 50 years.
Klugman married Brett Somers in 1953, and although the two separated in 1974, neither ever filed for divorce. Somers would also become a part of The Odd Couple series, portraying Madison's ex-wife Blanche on a number of episodes. In 2008, a year after Somers' passing, he married his longtime girlfriend Peggy Crosby.
He admitted on more than one occasion that he wasn't really like Oscar Madison in real life (although they did share a proclivity for billiards, the ponies and cigars), but what is not generally known about Klugman is that he used his continuing celebrity from the Quincy series to play an integral role in passing critical healthcare legislation in the early 1980's:
I would like to thank Michael Klastorin for contributing the majority of this article as he is another lover of Oscar Madison as well and I have been too busy to give this the proper amount of time.
Goodbye and goodnight Oscar, the world is a sadder place without you.

MTSU puts out alert after robbery near campus
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (AP) _ Middle Tennessee State University has put out a campus-wide alert after getting a report of an armed robbery near campus.
School officials say the report concerned a robbery near the MTSU parking lot on North Rutherford Boulevard in Murfreesboro on Monday morning.
The alert said the suspect is a black male, wearing all back clothing, including a black bandanna.
The alert said there were unconfirmed reports the suspect may have left the scene on foot headed toward Greek Row on campus.

I had breast augmentation approximately 3 months ago to correct asymmetry. The breast are still noticeably different in size by more than 30 CCs. 300 cc implants were used. The doctor used 300 cc on large breast and 380 cc max on small breast. I don't understand why he used the same size implant after telling me that the difference could possibly be up to 100 ccs.
He gave me a quote to redo of $2,600 and then changed it to $3,200. I don't understand why I should have to pay for it. He did not fix the problem. I am very unhappy because I paid total of $5,010 and pretty much threw my money in the garbage. I also asked other surgeons for a quote and they said that the doctor who worked on me should redo it for free, and that surgery should have warranty. Should I pay for the redo or insist that he do it for free?

New liberal idea: Let's raise $660 million online in a month to buy the LA Times before the Koch brothers can

Via Mediaite, it's so crazy it just. might. work.
I appreciate the analogy of the Kochs to Bond villains, though. That's a nifty way to capture the cartoonish malignancy that leftists impute to them to render them a more usable hate object.

Drag and Drop with a Right Click?
Yep, you read that right. I said right click!
We often find ourselves moving text in MS Word with a quick drag and drop, but did you know if you use a right click instead of a left click, Word will offer you far more?
The next time you want to move or even copy your text, simply follow these steps:
Highlight the text.
Move your mouse pointer over the highlighted text.
Right click.
Drag the text to a new location.
When you release the right mouse button, you won't see an instant move in the text like you normally would. Instead, you'll see a small menu pop open.
People with older versions of Word will see this:
If you're using Word 2007, you'll see this:
The obvious choices of Move Here and Copy Here really don't need an explanation. They work exactly as you'd expect.
The Link Here choice is an interesting bonus to the concept of copy/paste. Linking the text will not only copy the text, but it also creates a link between the copy and the original. That gives you the benefit of updating. Linked text will automatically update to match the original text whenever it's changed. Very cool!
For some of you, there's also the Create Hyperlink Here choice. That one will make the text in the new location a clickable link that takes the cursor back to the original. Now, changes in the original text will not automatically update in the hyperlink text. Once it's created, you have to make all your changes manually.
And, of course, there's the ever popular Cancel choice at the bottom. That one's there just in case you decide the whole thing is a bad idea!
Now, if only we could have a cancel option on a few of the non-computer decisions we seem to make all too frequently!

Put Away Your Shame Cards
Turns out dogs can't feel shame so if you're one of those people that get angry at your dog after it misbehaves, maybe you think Fido actually feels bad when he cowers and puts his tail between his legs. You'd be wrong. Researchers say that dogs can't actually feel shame. Dr. Bonnie Beaver says a dog's guilty look is likely just a reaction to the tantrum you are throwing over the damage done, and not because it feels remorse. Beaver says, "Just get over it and remind yourself not to put temptation in the way next time." However this finding hasn't stopped people from posting thousands of submissions of photos with their dogs looking guilty next to a sign detailing their offense.

NY MTA Chief Spars With Legislators Over Paying for Transit With Payroll Tax
(New York, NY - Jim O'Grady, WNYC) In a sometimes heated hearing, state legislators and NYC Chairman Jay Walder squared off on the payroll tax that the NY state legislature approved in 2009 to bail out the agency. The tax applies to businesses in the twelve counties the MTA serves in an around New York City.
"We are paying greater freight in the suburbs for the services that are basically New York City services," said Assemblywoman Nancy Calhoun from Orange and Rockland Counties, reflecting a common view among suburban legislators.
Walder said he didn't see the tax as a short-term fix but a part of the MTA's permanent financing solution. "I don't foresee a plan in any time frame in which you can phase out the payroll tax," he said, when asked if the MTA could ever balance its budget without it.
Walder said the tax--in which each employer pays one-third of one percent of its payroll to the state--brings in $1.4 billion a year to the authority. That's fifteen times the money saved by all of last year's service cuts.
Walder said the MTA wouldn't raise fares or cut service to meet its 2011 budget. But he wouldn't rule out adding more layoffs to the 1,700 workers laid off last year.
New York Governor Cuomo has repeatedly said that he is open to a "better way" of funding the MTA than by a payroll tax. But has yet to propose an alternative.
The payroll tax was part of a bailout package proposed by Richard Ravitch, the former MTA chief who later became Lt. Governor under David Paterson. Ravitch had initially proposed the tax in conjunction with a toll on the East River Bridges that are now free -- including the Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Williamsburg Bridges. But those tolls were rejected, and a watered-down package including the payroll tax, a taxi-cab surcharge, and a tax on rental cars was ultimately passed.

Although new district alignments and assignments have not yet been made, high school football fans can now get a pretty good idea of what they will look like for the next four years, beginning with the 2013-2014 school year.
Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association, the state's governing body for high school sports, has recently posted new enrollment figures for its member schools. These figures were taken from official state records for the first 15 days of the current school year.
With these numbers now public knowledge, here are some interesting tidbits and facts regarding enrollment:
Blackman High School has the largest enrollment in the state – 2,381 students.
Memphis Academy of Health Sciences has the smallest enrollment of any football playing school in the state – 99 students.
The seven Class AAA high schools in Rutherford County (including the new Stewart's Creek High School, scheduled to open next fall) will have a combined projected enrollment of 13,837 students. That number exceeds the entire county population of 16 different Tennessee counties. Stewart's Creek's is projected to have an enrollment of 1,505 students.
Along with the enrollment numbers, information that details how schools will be divided into districts and regions was also disclosed. It's a multi-step formula that begins this week and ultimately ends in mid-November when the board of control meets to finalize the process.
The 336 football playing schools will first be divided into two groups – Division I and Division II. Nearly three-dozen schools are expected to again join the Division II ranks. This decision had to have been made by noon Oct. 16.
The remaining "private schools" that have elected to remain in Division I with public schools will have their enrollment figures multiplied by 1.8.
Schools such as Friendship Christian, for example, the state's defending 2A state champion, has an enrollment of 217 students. Applying the 1.8 multiplier gives Friendship Christian a new enrollment number of 391 and moves the Commanders from 1A to 2A in football.
No school that has its enrollment multiplied by 1.8 can be moved up more than one classification.
Four additional dates will play a major role in the process. They are:
On Wednesday, Oct. 17, the TSSAA will send letters to all school administrators, letting them know they have the opportunity to move to a higher classification. Schools have until Wednesday, Oct. 24, to notify the TSSAA of any desires to move up in classification.
The following day, the TSAA staff will make assignment suggestions in all sports and send those suggestions to board of control members, as well as all member schools. These district assignment suggestions will also be posted on the TSSAA website.
On Thursday, Nov. 15, The board of control will meet at the Doubletree Hotel in Murfreesboro at 9 a.m. At this meeting, the districts and regions will be set for the next four years.

About Ellen F. Rosenblum
Attorney General Hardy Myers today announced that two long distance providers that made unauthorized service changes and added false charges to telephone bills will eliminate the fraudulent business practices in Oregon. Named in Assurances of Voluntary Compliance filed today in Marion County Circuit Court are Excel Communications, Inc. of Dallas, Texas and Tradex International, Inc. of Seattle, Washington.
"We continue to pursue companies that ignore laws prohibiting slamming and cramming," Myers said. "Complaints about slamming have decreased in recent years, but cramming remains Oregon's most common consumer complaint." Slamming is the practice of changing a customer's long-distance service without his or her authorization and cramming is the practice of placing unauthorized service charges on phone bills.
The Department of Justice's Financial Fraud/Consumer Protection section received 30 complaints against Excel, ranging from slamming to problems with terminating service and being billed after services were cancelled. In one case, a customer discovered that the company used a forged letter of authorization to change her long distance service. Excel also allegedly failed to verify a number of letters of authorization resulting in improper changes to service.
Tradex International does business in Oregon as Western Telecom and is a successor to certain accounts of TouchTone Communications. TouchTone slammed Oregon consumers and sold the accounts to Western Telecom, which led to unauthorized charges on individual phone bills.
Under the terms of the assurances, which do not admit law violations, both companies agree not to violate the Unlawful Trade Practices Act and to provide restitution to consumers for any unauthorized charges. In addition, Tradex will establish a toll-free number and assign a representative to respond to consumer billing questions.
Excel paid $75,000 and Tradex paid $7,500 to the Department's consumer protection and education fund.
Consumers who need additional information about slamming and cramming should call the Attorney General's toll-free, consumer hotline at 1-877-877-9392 statewide, 378-4320 from Salem and 229-5576 from Portland. Brochures on slamming and cramming also are available by writing to Financial Fraud/Consumer Protection at 1162 Court Street, N.E., Salem, OR 97310.

Authorities are looking for a man seen on video trying to sell a large quantity of Pappy Van Winkle bourbon at a Hardin County liquor store.
Sixty-five cases of the rare, 20-year-old bourbon valued at $25,000 were reported stolen last week from the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort.
The Franklin County Sheriff's Department is looking for leads to the suspect's identity. He is described as a person of interest in the police investigation.
The color video (below) shows the man, believed to be between 50 and 60 years of age, wearing a purple pullover that Franklin County Sheriff Pat Melton said appears to carry a Bardstown High School logo. He reportedly drove a late-model Ford F-150 that was dark green with tan trim when he stopped at the Elizabethtown business offering to sell Pappy Van Winkle, the police report said.
In addition to the bourbon theft, the distillery reported that nine cases of 13-year-old Van Winkle Family Reserve rye also were stolen.
Police ask that anyone with information also can be made by texting (502) 320-3306 or calling the sheriff's office at (502) 875-8740.

One only has to take a look at the dire statistics to see that sacramental marriage is facing massive problems. Fewer couples are taking advantage of the sacrament. More are undermining their marriage's chances of survival by living together. And the divorce rate continues to rise.
What, then, can a single Catholic man do now to ensure a successful and long-lasting marriage?
Believe it or not, plenty.
Here are a few tips on things you can and should begin working on right now to divorce-proof your future marriage.
1. Eliminate the d-word
Agree as an individual that the word divorce is not a part of your vocabulary. Banish it. If you agree to eliminate it as an option, you're unlikely to turn to it in the troubled times of your marriage.
Before you enter marriage, realize that every marriage goes through challenging times once the initial romance wears off.
2. Pray
Whether you're totally unattached, dating or engaged, you can pray. Begin praying for your significant other at this very moment. Stop reading this for a moment and silently utter a prayer for whomever God has created for you.
Once you find her, at the very least, pray with her. Pray for direction in your life together. Attend Mass with her.
It's said that couples who pray and worship together reduce their chances for divorce by more than 50 percent.
3. Practice purity
Over the past couple of years I've personally known at least half a dozen couples who were married and, largely through a lack of fidelity on the husband's part, ended up divorcing within just a couple of years.
One left his young bride for another woman. Another was a serial adulterer. Another was addicted to pornography and brought a prostitute into his home. Clearly, there's an epidemic problem.
Men can have difficulty controlling their appetites. If you have a problem with sexual impurity or promiscuity, get a handle on it now. For the sake of your future wife and your marriage, do not bring this problem into your marriage. Rather, bring it to confession. Pray about it. Fast. Get professional help. By all means, work on it.
4. Discover Theology of the Body
Do something to learn more about Pope John Paul II's teachings on the Theology of Body. Take a class, attend a lecture, read a book.
Not only will you learn about God's plan for human sexuality, but you'll also learn about your own body and you'll learn that you can't look at and treat your future spouse as an object for your own gratification. She is a beautiful, unrepeatable child of God, meant to be loved and to love. The Theology of the Body will teach you how to do that.
5. Ditch the video games
I've heard countless stories of adult males who have a greater love for Call of Duty and Halo than for the women in their lives. Others jeopardize their jobs endlessly playing video games. If this sounds like you, admit your addiction and ditch the video games. Develop a plan for responsible use of such media.
6. Don't cohabitate
The research is out there. One of the greatest gifts you can bring to a future marriage is to not cohabitate. Study after scholarly study points to divorce rates of between 50 and 100 percent for couples who choose to live together before marriage – no matter social, economic or demographic factors.
Cohabitation leads to marital instability.
7. Learn natural family planning
Finally, do yourself and your future wife a favor by learning about modern, scientific natural family planning. Don't bring a contraceptive mentality into your marriage. Contraception not only puts a barrier between you and your wife in the most intimate area of your lives, but it also prevents you from bonding emotionally.
Statistics show that couples who learn and practice natural family planning are the most successful. Less than 2 percent of couples who learn and practice NFP end up getting divorced.

I also have a pair of Turtle Beach X41 surround sound headphones which are supposed to be a competitor to the Astro A40s. IMHO, Astros are light years head of the Turtle Beaches in terms of performance and comfort. The Astros feel like they are a high quality product; whereas, the X41s get the job done with no frills.
The one drawback is that the Astros have alot of wires. Which if you think about isn't really a drawback at all because the wireless TB X41s have a ton of static and popping sounds which aren't present in the Astro A40s.
I rate the Astro A40's 5 out of 5 stars.

Nov. 5 (BusinessDesk) - The New Zealand dollar held onto some of its gains following US non-farm payrolls, which showed employment in the world's biggest economy is stronger than expected heading into the presidential election.
The kiwi dollar traded at 82.38 US cents from 82.44 cents in late New York trading on Friday. The trade weighted index rose to 73.93 from 73.89.
Figures on Friday showed US firms added 171,000 workers in October, beating estimates, though the jobless rate rose to 7.9 percent from 7.8 percent. The upbeat jobs number wasn't enough to prevent stocks on Wall Street selling off after the Thomson Reuters/Jefferies CRB Commodity Index dropped 1.6 percent. Meantime, polls are showing President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney closely tied in the race for president.
"The USD strengthened and 'risk-sensitive' assets struggled following the release of Friday's much stronger-than-expected US non-farm payrolls figures," said Mike Jones, currency strategist at Bank of New Zealand. ".
He said the kiwi has room to gain this week should the Household Labour Force Survey show the unemployment rate fell to 6.6 percent in the third quarter, as BNZ expects, which would beat market consensus of 6.7 percent. Still, the data series is "notoriously volatile," he said.
The kiwi dollar fell to 79.66 Australian cents from 79.71 cents and traded at 64.25 euro cents from 64.23 cents. It fell to 66.17 yen from 66.29 yen and fell to 51.43 British pence from 51.489 pence.

Serves 4 as a small side salad/condiment
1 bunch fresh spinach
1 clove garlic, minced
Soy sauce
Sesame oil
Toasted sesame seeds
Wash the spinach well and trim away the stems. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Dump in the spinach and cook a few seconds, just until limp. Plunge the spinach into a bowl of ice water. When the spinach is cool, drain. Using your hands, take a fistful of spinach and squeeze out the moisture. Repeat with the remaining spinach. Coarsely chop the spinach and place it in a small bowl or dish, mixing in the garlic. Dress with small amounts of soy sauce and sesame oil to taste, and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

One of Britain's top prosecutors today warned that Britons who travel to join the Syrian conflict will face prosecution and potential life sentences on their return.
Sue Hemming said it was a crime to fight in another country even if it was to topple a "loathsome" dictator such as president Bashar Assad.
The head of counter-terrorism at the Crown Prosecution Service said Britons could also face charges for attending rebel training camps.
She added that further prosecutions would be brought against those yet to depart if police found evidence that they were planning to fight.
Her comments, in an interview with the Evening Standard, come as seven British residents including two London women await trial over charges connected to the Syrian conflict.
They follow a recent surge in arrests by police and a warning by the Met's counter-terrorism chief about the growing number of young Britons either travelling to Syria or attempting to go.
Some observers have expressed surprise that "freedom fighters" seeking to oust Assad are being arrested. But Ms Hemming said the law made it clear that participation in an overseas conflict was illegal. "It is a crime for people from this country to go out and get into a conflict or go out for terrorist training," she said, adding: "We will look at the facts in each case, but ultimately it is potentially an offence and if it's right to prosecute then we will.
"The message for people who are considering going out there and getting involved in terrorist training or getting involved in the conflict is that they will be potentially breaking the law in this country."
The most serious offence facing those going to Syria is Section 5 of the Terrorism Act 2006. It outlaws acts preparatory to terrorism and assisting another person in such activities. The maximum penalty is life.
Sections 6 and 8 of the legislation also make it illegal to train as a terrorist or to attend a training camp. Both offences carry up to 10 years in prison.
Ms Hemming said that terrorism was defined in law as any action driven by political, ideological, religious or racial motive which seeks to influence a government or intimidate a section of the public. This meant that attempting to topple Assad was covered. She added: "Potentially it's an offence to go out and get involved in a conflict, however loathsome you think the people on the other side are.
"People have got views about all sorts of conflicts and all sorts of places, but our government chooses to have legislation which prevents people from joining in whichever conflict they have views about. We will apply the law robustly."
One Syrian rebel group, the al-Nusra Front, has been outlawed by the Government for its links to al Qaeda. At least one other, the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, is also connected to al Qaeda.
Training camps to prepare their fighters operate in Syria, Turkey and elsewhere. Ms Hemming said that three of the seven Britons charged with Syria-related offences would be accused of training in such camps, including one who would face an allegation of involvement with al-Nusra.
She added: "In three of the cases that we are prosecuting we allege that they have travelled there, got themselves involved in training and come back again. In one of those cases we will allege that they were going to join al-Nusra."
Ms Hemming emphasised that it was not a crime to take part in humanitarian relief. But she warned that the flow of Britons to Syria had "all the hallmarks" of creating a terrorist danger in this country which prosecutors had a duty to tackle.
"They can meet people from terrorist organisations, particularly if they are going to join someone like al-Nusra, and they can then be a threat to this country," she said.
"The groups fighting for the opposition are very diverse in nature: terrorist groups and other sorts of extremists."
Scotland Yard revealed last month that Syria-related terrorism arrests are soaring with 16 so far this year, compared with 24 for all of 2013. The total number of British participants in the conflict is estimated to be in the "hundreds", with as many as 20 thought to have died in the fighting.
Since March 2011, more than 130,000 people across Syria have been killed and nearly six million forced from their homes sparking humanitarian crises in neighbouring countries.
The conflict began with protests against four decades of Assad family rule but turned into a civil war after a crackdown by security forces.
Airport's open door for Jihadi tourists
Richard Hall, letter from Gaziantep
THE arrivals hall at Gaziantep airport is a sparse and empty space. The few benches that run along the walls and a slowly shifting luggage carousel are its only distinguishing features. In the few times I have passed through I have never seen more than one or two bored staff.
There is nothing strange about that, one might argue, for a provincial airport in southern Turkey. But this particular airport is situated just one hour's drive from the Syrian border. It is through this hall that all those travelling to Syria pass — journalists, aid workers, Syrians, diplomats and the occasional jihadi going to join the rebels in the fight against Bashar al-Assad.
UK security chiefs believe "several hundred" Britons have travelled to Syria so far to become jihadists, most of them joining up with the extremist, foreigner-friendly Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. It is very likely that they would have travelled through Gaziantep.
It is a well-worn route for European jihadists. After making contact with someone on the inside, the hopeful make for Kilis, a border town 40 miles down the road. Once there they await a phone call, then it's a hop, skip and a jump over a barbed wire fence and into jihad.
There is growing concern that some of those who are going to join al-Qa'ida-linked groups in Syria may one day return to Britain to carry out attacks at home. So what is being done to prevent these young men from reaching Syria? At Gaziantep airport, the most obvious place to intercept them, very little.
On a recent flight into the airport from Istanbul, a colleague and I exchanged knowing looks as a pair of young men took their seats dressed in thawbs (the long robe worn by conservative Muslims in some Arab countries). Were they aid workers? A bit too young for that. Perhaps they were here for business... or perhaps following in the footsteps of hundreds before going to fight in Syria.
We didn't know where our British friends were going. But because the thought had crossed our minds – even if only half seriously – it led us towe pondered how easy it might be for fighters to pass through here, with not a policeman, official or passport checker in sight. Just how seriously are the authorities taking the threat of jihadi tourism?Reuse content

Especially for a new instructor, the task of writing a syllabus can be a daunting one. The faculty member needs to clearly present their layout for the class, their expectations, and the policies that they will follow.
Every instructor's syllabus is unique, but individual faculty members build the syllabus for their particular course sections upon the framework of the course's master syllabus.
Master syllabi for all courses taught at ACC
For the sake of ensuring complete and consistent communication to students, the college has identified a set of items that all course syllabi are expected to contain. The goal is to provide all ACC students clear statements of the course expectations, requirements, and policies that may (among many other factors, of course) help them to succeed
in the class. There are no particular expectations regarding the order, arrangement,
or style in which these items are presented in the syllabus, but a checklist is
available that lists all of the items in a sequence that many faculty might find useful.
Many of these statements, particularly those for course policies such as scholastic dishonesty, will be consistent across courses and even across the college. Since
the syllabus serves as a contract between the instructor and the student, faculty members are encouraged to incorporate the course policies language approved
by the College as it puts one in a much stronger position in case of grade disputes
or lawsuits. In fact, some faculty may simply choose to download and print the
course policies given here and include them among their first day handouts.
Generally, it is wise to go over the syllabus point by point with the students on the
first day and answer any questions they might have. Some instructors also have students sign a waiver saying that they have read and agreed to the terms of the syllabus.
Examples of typical course syllabi for transfer and workforce courses are provided elsewhere on this website, and descriptions for each of the syllabus components is given below. Wording for the parts marked in red should be included in the master syllabus for the course.
The syllabus should have the
• course name (e.g., Engineering Physics I) and number (e.g., PHYS 2425)
• section number and synonym (e.g., RSNG 1247-011, #39130)
• campus, room, and time of day for lecture and laboratory sections
The following instructor information should be on the syllabus:
• instructor's name
• phone number(s) (including ACC voice mail for adjunct instructors)
• office hours and location of office
• information on how conferences outside of office hours can be arranged
• e-mail address
• web page (if any)
The description from the college catalog should go here. Departments may have chosen to build upon the rather brief description in the catalog, so one should refer
to the master syllabus for the course for the proper wording.
If there is a required field activity, that should be mentioned, as well other general information that seems appropriate.
Any prerequisites for the course should be listed here.
This is a statement on the purpose of class and its broad educational goals.
One can describe relationships to subsequent courses, general education,
service-learning, appreciation of the arts, civic engagement, or whatever
seems appropriate. Again, the wording should be provided in the master syllabus.
This is the section in which the student learning outcomes for the course and
program are listed. Departments should have identified student learning outcomes
for every course and for every discipline/program for which they offer a degree.
In addition, all Core Curriculum courses should list the general education outcomes that they address, and workforce courses should identify the SCANS competencies that are designated for that course. If instructors have additional student learning outcomes, they should list them here as well.
Any required textbooks, laboratory manuals, or other materials should be listed here. One may also list optional texts, such as study guides. Some departments require
all sections to use the same textbook, whereas others allow each instructor to
choose their own.
This statement identifies the format in which the instruction occurs: lecture,
lecture/lab, distance-learning,etc. Field activities and co-curricular activities may
be mentioned here as well.
Grading criteria should be clearly explained in the syllabus. The criteria should
specify the number of exams and other graded material (exercises, term papers, homework, assignments, projects, etc.), and the weight assigned to them.
Instructors should discuss the format of exams (multiple choice, short answer,
essay, matching, combination, etc). Guidelines for other graded materials, such
as homework or projects, should also be included in the syllabus, including
penalties for failing to abide by deadlines. Having explicit detail in this section
helps to more easily resolve issues with student grades should they arise.
Faculty should detail their course policies. Many of these policies are defined by
the college and will therefore be the same across all courses. Should a faculty member choose, official wording for most course policies is available at {website}&.
In addition, an instructor should be explicit about their expectations regarding
missed or late work.
Each instructor should clearly express their attendance and class participation policies. If there are specific policies for field activities, they could be included here.
An example of wording adapted from the catalog:
Regular and punctual class and laboratory attendance is expected of all students.
If attendance or compliance with other course policies is unsatisfactory, the
instructor may withdraw students from the class.
This should be clearly stated. The College defines withdrawals as occurring after
the official reporting date of the semester, typically the 12th class day. In addition,
the Legislature has mandated the Rule of Three and the Rule of Six (see below).
As an example of some possible wording:
It is the responsibility of each student to ensure that his or her name is removed
from the roll should he or she decide to withdraw from the class. The instructor
does, however, reserve the right to drop a student should he or she feel it is necessary. If a student decides to withdraw, he or she should also verify that the withdrawal is submitted before the Final Withdrawal Date. The student is also
strongly encouraged to retain their copy of the withdrawal form for their records.
Regarding the Rule of Three, some possible wording adapted from the catalog:
Students who enroll for the third or subsequent time in a course taken since Fall, 2002, may be charged a higher tuition rate, for that course.
Regarding the Rule of Six, some possible wording again adapted from the catalog:
State law permits students to withdraw from no more than six courses during their entire undergraduate career at Texas public colleges or universities. With certain exceptions, all course withdrawals automatically count towards this limit. Details regarding this policy can be found in the ACC college catalog.
Each instructor should clearly express their policies with regard to missed exams,
late homework or laboratory exercises, etc. Again, this helps immensely when
dealing with student grade disputes. Some departments may have policies that
apply to all sections of a course.
This policy should also be clearly stated. Note that the completion date for
unfinished work cannot be later than the withdrawal deadline for the following semester.
Besides any specific policies, some possible wording quoted and adapted from
the section on student responsibilities in the college catalog:
A student attending ACC assumes responsibility for conduct compatible with the mission of the college as an educational institution. Students have the responsibility
to submit coursework that is the result of their own thought, research, or self-expression. Students must follow all instructions given by faculty or designated
college representatives when taking examinations, placement assessments, tests, quizzes, and evaluations. Actions constituting scholastic dishonesty include, but are not limited to, plagiarism, cheating, fabrication, collusion, and falsifying documents. Penalties for scholastic dishonesty will depend upon the nature of the violation and may range from lowering a grade on one assignment to an "F" in the course and/or expulsion from the college. See the Student Standards of Conduct and Disciplinary Process and other policies at http://www.austincc.edu/current/needtoknow
In this context, student rights and responsibilities specifically refers to the rights of
free expression and responsibility to respect others with differing opinions. A useful interpretation comes from the section on student rights and responsibilities in the college catalog:
Students at the college have the rights accorded by the U.S. Constitution to freedom
of speech, peaceful assembly, petition, and association. These rights carry with
them the responsibility to accord the same rights to others in the college community and not to interfere with or disrupt the educational process. Opportunity for students
to examine and question pertinent data and assumptions of a given discipline, guided by the evidence of scholarly research, is appropriate in a learning environment. This concept is accompanied by an equally demanding concept of responsibility on the
part of the student. As willing partners in learning, students must comply with college rules and procedures.
As described on their website, the Office for Students with Disabilities assists
students with documented disabilities by providing one-on-one advising, accommodation, and a variety of support services.
Some recommended wording for this section might be:
Each ACC campus offers support services for students with documented disabilities. Students with disabilities who need classroom, academic or other accommodations must request them through the Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD). Students are encouraged to request accommodations when they register for courses or at
least three weeks before the start of the semester, otherwise the provision of accommodations may be delayed. Students who have received approval for accommodations from OSD for this course must provide the instructor with the 'Notice of Approved Accommodations' from OSD before accommodations will be
provided. Arrangements for academic accommodations can only be made after the instructor receives the 'Notice of Approved Accommodations' from the student.
Students with approved accommodations are encouraged to submit the 'Notice of Approved Accommodations' to the instructor at the beginning of the semester because a reasonable amount of time may be needed to prepare and arrange for
the accommodations.
Additional information about the Office for Students with Disabilities
The College seeks to provide a safe environment for all students and employees. What to do in case of fire, tornadoes, or armed subjects are procedures with which everyone should be familiar. Emergency procedures posters are posted in every classroom, and having a safety statement in the syllabus is one way of drawing
students' attention to it. Many ACC Departments require additional safety
information in their syllabuses.
The following statement may be used here:
Austin Community College is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for study and work. You are expected to learn and comply with ACC environmental, health and safety procedures and agree to follow ACC safety policies.
Because some health and safety circumstances are beyond our control, we ask
that you become familiar with the Emergency Procedures poster and Campus
Safety Plan map in each classroom. Additional information about emergency procedures and how to sign up for ACC Emergency Alerts to be notified in the
event of a serious emergency.
Please note, you are expected to conduct yourself professionally with respect and courtesy to all. Anyone who thoughtlessly or intentionally jeopardizes the health or safety of another individual will be dismissed from the day's activity, may be
withdrawn from the class, and/or barred from attending future activities.
You are expected to conduct yourself professionally with respect and courtesy to all. Anyone who thoughtlessly or intentionally jeopardizes the health or safety of another individual will be immediately dismissed from the day's activity, may be withdrawn from the class, and/or barred from attending future activities.
The recommended wording here is:
All College e-mail communication to students will be sent solely to the student's ACCmail account, with the expectation that such communications will be read in a timely fashion. ACC will send important information and will notify you of any college related emergencies using this account. Students should only expect to receive
email communication from their instructor using this account. Likewise, students should use their ACCmail account when communicating with instructors and staff.
Instructions for activating an ACCmail account.
If students in the class might use the Testing Centers for either regular or make-up exams, a statement about Testing Center policies is useful. For example:
Under certain circumstances, an instructor may have students take an examination
in a testing center. Students using the Academic Testing Center must govern themselves according to the Student Guide for Use of ACC Testing Centers and should read the entire guide before going to take the exam.
To request an exam, one must have:
- ACC Photo ID
- Course Abbreviation (e.g., ENGL)
- Course Number (e.g.,1301)
- Course Synonym (e.g., 10123)
- Course Section (e.g., 005)
- Instructor's Name
Do NOT bring cell phones to the Testing Center. Having your cell phone in the
testing room, regardless of whether it is on or off, will revoke your testing
privileges for the remainder of the semester.
ACC Testing Center policies.
This section provides general information about some of the services available to students. Some suggested wording would be:
ACC strives to provide exemplary support to its students and offers a broad variety
of opportunities and services. Information on these services and support systems
is available here.
Links to many student services and other information can be found at Current Students.
ACC Learning Labs provide free tutoring services to all ACC students currently enrolled in the course to be tutored. The tutor schedule for each Learning Lab may
be found here.
For help setting up your ACCeID, ACC Gmail, or ACC Blackboard, see a Learning
Lab Technician at any ACC Learning Lab.
The syllabus should contain a course outline for the lecture (and laboratory),
detailing what students will be doing on what days, identifying test dates and other
due dates. Instructors are also encouraged to add a statement of variance, such as:
Please note that schedule changes may occur during the semester.
Any changes will be announced in class.
