There are rumors concerning an alleged recession in the United States of America which for some reason has aroused concern among some members of the Republican party. There are rumors concerning high unemployment rates, but as far as we can ascertain this problem is NOT impacting those earning a million of more dollars a year, so why bother about such unimportant issues. The real issue which Republicans are focusing on is: VOTER FRAUD! Think about it, people who are not eligible are voting!
Latest figures indicate that during the past ten years at least ONE THOUSAND votes were cast by those who were not eligible to vote. Imagine if those one thousand had not voted, wouldn't it have altered the election in which one hundred million voted?
We should thank God that Mitt Romney will NOT allow voter fraud once in the presidency. It is time to end voting by students, black folk, Hispanic immigrants and all those Muslims who want to elect members of al-Qaeda!

Did you know that depression is really typically about anger? The 2 are interwoven. If you think of your emotions like the layers of a volcano. The volcano may be closed and the anger is inside but you feel depressed. So addressing the underlying anger helps greatly. There are things that you can do to increase your serotonin levels other than medication but sometimes medication is needed as an adjunct to therapy.

Depression affects millions of Americans each year. The causes of it are still not fully understood, but it is believed that genetic/biological tendencies interact with environmental issues, such as how you were raised, abuse, and situations where you feel helpless or hopeless to change. Chronic depression creates a loop, or cycle, where your thoughts, feelings and behavior become intertwined to continue to the cycle. If you change any one of these things, either your thought patterns, your emotions, or your actions, you can break the cycle of depression. My approach will be to provide support and empathy while guiding you to make positive changes in your life to ease the depression.

Did you know that the number of people who suffer with depression is similar to the number of people who suffer from seasonal allergies? I bet that is a surprise to you, since we don't hear people talking about depression like they talk about their allergies. People who suffer with depression are not only dealing with the depression but they are often doing it alone. Let us walk with you in this process so that you are not alone. We use a variety of techniques and when necessary, work collaboratively with psychiatrists to proscribe medication. Depression can feel like a heavy blanket - of crying, sadness, lack of motivation, apathy. Let us help you throw off the blanket and start thriving!

Depression is more than feeling sad. Depression can hit at various times and for many reasons. When you are not able to "snap out" of feeling down, no matter what may be happening around you, it is likely time to contact a counselor. Not opposed to medication, but a proponent of getting to the root of the problem, I advocate for therapy as a first step, and depending on the level of depression, we will discuss the pros and cons of exploring alternate routes. Renewed peace and joy is always my goal with clients. Countless have attested to feeling like "themselves" once they made the difficult, but rewarding decision to connect with a Licensed Professional.

Depression is a serious medical condition with a broad range of symptoms. Emotional symptoms can include sadness, loss of interest in things you once enjoyed, thoughts of death or suicide, and feelings of guilt or worthlessness. Physical symptoms can include restlessness or slowness of speech, thought, or activity; trouble concentrating or making decisions; lack of energy; and changes in weight/appetite or sleep and many more symptoms. This is not the life you were meant to live. Hope and healing is possible. Call Sarah Bryan for an appointment. (770)548-3034

I have helped clients who have been told they have "treatment resistant depression" and clients who have tried many approaches to reduce depression. The root cause of depression is often upsetting experiences like criticism, rejection, embarrassment, job loss, relationship endings, emotional neglect, childhood abuse, midlife career transitions. These events diminish how we view ourselves and our ability to get what we want in life. Client review: "I have struggled off and on with depression and have seen numerous counselors over the past 15 years. Working with Kalpana, I made significant progress in a relatively short period of time and years later my depression has not returned".

I first met Kevin Fippin in February, in the parking lot of Sleep Train Arena. He was making the rounds at a tailgate party before a Kings game. That was about three weeks after word had come that the Maloof family, the team's majority owners, had made a deal to sell their share to a group of investors who planned to move the Kings to Seattle.
After that announcement, Kings fans went into action, using an existing network of blogs, podcasts, and groups like Crown Downtown and Here We Stay/Here We Buy, which had formed in the wake of previous relocation whisperings. Fippin, who works in IT and in his spare time serves as the social media editor for the SB Nation blog Sactown Royalty, helped spread the word: we need to sell as many tickets as possible for that Feb. 9 game, dubbed Here We Buy Night."
The game came close to selling out, but Fippin said he knew that wasn't enough to keep the team in the state's capital. "That's not what this is about," he said. "It's about the fact that you even know this is happening, and national media around the country knows this is happening tonight.
"I think the best-case scenario is for the NBA to take a look at how valuable Sacramento is as a market," Fippin continued. "And I don't think that has anything to do with Seattle. Seattle is a great market and they do deserve a team, but that doesn't mean that we don't."
On Wednesday, the NBA Board of Governors agreed. They voted 22-8 to deny the relocation request. I reached Kevin Fippin late in the afternoon in the lobby of the Dallas hotel where the NBA owners had held their meeting. He was there with about a dozen other Kings fans who'd flown from Sacramento to Dallas.
"Most of us drove to Oakland [Tuesday night], got on a flight that left Oakland at 2:30 a.m., and got in about 8 a.m. Dallas time," he said. "And then we came straight to the hotel. We just wanted to be here when the decision was made. We wanted to represent the love that Sacramento has for this team and show the world that these are the kinds of fans we are. If the fate of the team is on the line, we're going to be there."
Fippin and the other fans were confined to a corner of the hotel lobby near the press corps, including a large contingent from Sacramento. They spent the day watching team owners and executives going in and out of the meeting, chatting with reporters, and even making friends with a couple of fans of the old Seattle SuperSonics, who were hoping the NBA would reincarnate the team they lost in 2008 when it became the Oklahoma City Thunder. When the news leaked out, it wasn't a huge surprise–the NBA's relocation committee had recommended against the Seattle move on April 29. But Kings fans were thrilled when Vivek Ranadivé, who heads another ownership group that has made an offer for the team, made a detour on his way to the press conference.
"He actually requested to take a picture with us, and we all posed for him," Fippin said. "He was a little late to the press conference because of it, but we thought that was really cool of him. After the press conference, he came back and said, 'This happened because of you guys, and I want to thank you so much.' Really appreciative of all the work the fans had done."
There's still work to do. The NBA vetoed the relocation, but the league is unlikely to force the Kings' current owners, the Maloof family, to sell to Ranadivé and his group. Rather, NBA commissioner David Stern said at the press conference that the league hopes to facilitate that sale within the next several days.
And the second part of the plan to keep the Kings, building a new multipurpose arena downtown to replace the aging Sleep Train, will take a few more years to complete. Three Sacramento residents filed a suit the day before the NBA's decision, alleging that the city's subsidy of the arena plan will amount to more than the $258 million in the official term sheet. Others have called for the city to put the arena funding on the ballot.
Kevin Fippin acknowledged the challenges ahead, but he said the time was right for the city to support such an ambitious project. "There was a time in this city when we didn't have the political backing that we needed to pull something like this off," he said. "We didn't have a city council that would vote in favor of building an arena. We didn't have a mayor that would fight the way Kevin Johnson's fought. This is something that not just Kings fans, but residents of Sacramento want. There's a lot of pride that we take in this team."
Fippin's also a fan of the Oakland A's, who've gone through their own relocation saga over the past several years. He says the Kings' story should send a message: it's possible for small market sports teams to resist the lure of a larger, richer market, if fans, investors, businesses, and elected officials form a strong alliance.
"We're writing the blueprint: this is how you keep your team," he said. "This is how you demonstrate that the failing isn't with the fans. There's ways to do it without completely selling out. And there's a lot of things that could go wrong, a lot of wild cards. But assuming everything plays out the way that we think it will, I think a lot of people could learn a lot from what we did here."

Jaime Moreno hobbled off injured in the 14th minute of United's 1-1 deadlock in Kingston with Jamaican team Harbour View, which robbed any real chance for newcomers Marcelo Gallardo, Franco Neill, Gonzalo Peralta and Gonzalo Martinez to mesh with him in competitive circumstances. Given Moreno's injury problems the past two seasons, such a scenario is likely to recur. He left the field clutching his hamstring and no update on his condition was available after the match.
Houston scratched out a 0-0 draw with CSD Municipal in Guatemala City with a starting XI deprived of midfielders Brian Mullan, Stuart Holden and Brad Davis, and defender Pat Ianni. Holden and Ianni are with the U.S. under-23s, Mullan and Davis have been injured, and all four will be needed during a crowded Dynamo schedule of league, U.S. Open Cup, CONCACAF and SuperLiga matches in addition to the usual attrition of suspensions and injuries.
After Neill replaced Moreno, he won a free kick that Gallardo whipped on goal and keeper Dwayne Miller flew left to turn past the post.
Harbour View breached the Martinez-Peralta pairing twice in the first half to produce chances that former MetroStar Fabian Taylor and ex-Wizard Jermaine Hue shot wide.
Neill and Gallardo linked up again in first-half stoppage time, and their exchanging of passes with Fred freed Gallardo to hit a shot that intersected with the run of Devon McTavish, who took the carom in stride and fired a low shot past Miller.
Wells, who needed a few minutes to regain his senses after taking a kick to head early in the match, denied Harbour View several times in the second half. He punched away a Hue free kick and dashed off his line to cover threatening through balls. But United couldn't keep possession to defuse Harbour View's spirited forward thrusts, and with five minutes left it failed to clear a Hue corner kick. Lovel Palmer reacted more quickly than Martinez and smashed the loose ball into the net.
United hosts the second leg at RFK Stadium Tuesday. Since no added weight is given to away goals, United cannot advance by eking out a goalless tie at RFK. Not that it would take that mindset, anyway; whether or not Moreno is available, Neill and Gallardo showed enough to suggest D.C. can rack up a few at home.
Houston conjured up several chances against CSD Municipal yet probably should have conceded at least one goal as well, but rode a bit of luck, some resilient defensive work, and the crisp goalkeeping of Pat Onstad to return home unscathed. Counterpart Jaime Penedo wasn't as busy yet turned away two Houston shots in rapid succession to keep it scoreless. The runs of Carlos Figueroa down the right flank stretched the Dynamo several times but none of his teammates could wield the sharp finishing edge required.
Chris Wondolowski, paired with Brian Ching up front, ran onto a nice cross by left back Wade Barrett to bounce a header wide of the far post late in the first half. Wondolowski earlier had been thwarted by Penedo on a sharp-angle shot from close range, and Penedo bounced up off the ground to also turn away Dwayne DeRosario's rebound attempt.
Gonzalo Romero squandered the best chance of the match 11 minutes into the second half when a cross evaded the Dynamo defense and landed at his feet at the edge of the six-yard box, but he somehow stabbed the shot wide with the outside of his left foot.
The luck cut both ways. In the 72nd minute, given time and space about 30 yards out, long-distance specialist Ricardo Clark flighted a shot toward the top corner that left Penedo flailing helplessly. But the ball struck the outside of the post just inches below the crossbar.
More Municipal flurries in the final minutes yielded chances but none had the pace or the precision to test Onstad. Mullan and recent Dynamo signing Franco Caraccio played the final seven minutes to prime them for what could be starting assignments when the teams meet again at Robertson Stadium on Wednesday.

Our man in Denver Michael Gracie has bravely entered the Costa 2-Fly competition in the Teva Mountain Games.
Like Ricky Bobby at the end of Jackie Moon (or was it Anchorman? Old School?), Gracie's got no corporate dough backing him up.
Gracie's training now but the blogosphere needs to help a brother out.
Let's create a list of what Gracie needs and make sure he gets it:
–Trained Eagle to do a fly over Gracie at the opening ceremonies.
–Helicopter rental for 36o degree aerial coverage.
–Gold Bond powder for the competitive chafing.
–Insane yet deadly patterns from Roughfisher or Singlebarbed.
—Fat Guy Kyle to help carbo load.
I'm donating a slightly used Fishing Jones commemorative visor.
Send all cash donations to me and I'll make sure he gets it.

After months and months of speculation and rumour, we can finally say for certainty that Android 3.0 will be called Honeycomb and it has been designed specifically with tablets in mind.
Today at CES, Andy Rubin, VP of Engineering at Google, outlined some of the features of what exactly Honeycomb will bring - with the Motorola Xoom the first tablet to show it off. The most immediate difference we see in Honeycomb is a completely new interface, which Google called a "a brand new, truly virtual and holographic user interface." Honeycomb is the next version of the Android platform, designed from the ground up for devices with larger screen sizes, particularly tablets.
While current Android features will still be seen in Honeycomb, they have been tweaked to work better and faster on the new platform. Among the benefits will be refined multi-tasking, "elegant" notifications, home screen customization with a new 3D experience and redesigned widgets. Browsing has also been tweaked with the inclusion of tabbed browsing, form auto-fill, syncing with your Google Chrome bookmarks, and incognito mode for private browsing.
Honeycomb will also feature the latest Google Mobile features, including Google Maps 5 with 3D interactions and offline reliability, Google eBooks, and Google Talk, which now allows you to video and voice chat with any other Google Talk enabled device (PC, tablet, etc).
The only tablet we have so far seen running Honeycomb is a Motorola Xoom tablet but we are pretty sure we will see a lot more this week and in the coming months.

Air bag module
I was installing my Blitz DTT timer/boost gauge over the weekend, and I tucked the little controller in the cubby behind the ash tray. It's a good spot (central, lots of space) and I can see stashing more goodies in there in the future. Thing is, the air bag control module's right there. Anything I should be aware or careful of? I velcroed the controller to the side of the space, so it's not interfering.
It will not hurt the SRS module to install a component beside or around it. As long as nothing rubs the wiring your fine. Be careful with adhesive backed velcro, as it becomes gooey with the extreme heat. You can always secure it with a large zip tie so it doesn't fall down while driving.

I am in the process (as can be found in another thread) to be prepared for as much as a year to run as normal with power, food, water, supplies, communications, ammo, etc.
"Homesteading" and being prepared is a need! the potential for something to be bad for more than a couple weeks is pretty rare I would think but you never know.
I don't have to worry about hurricanes or things like that but just the other day my county got slammed with tornados and bad weather and missed my location by a hair from being real bad. Other areas near me where flattened by the storm.
I also feel I need to be prepared for an earth quake, I live near the neumadred fault line and that can't be good when/if she decides to get pissed.

car starting to stall when on
hello, i have a question on my SVT it has just started to like stall when idle and A/c on only when a/c is on and have not figured out why ?? also when driving in six gear about 2000 rpms the car like has a kick as if u were learning to drive stick would any of this have to do with the O2 sensor problem or is this something else ??[bigcry][?|]
You have a check engine light then? What fault codes are set?
Definently draining your battery with the ac on. Bad alternater or possibly compressor. Any codes?
Also a possibility. The Coil Pack. I hear that they are crap. I was having issues at idle and when pulling it out of gear. The coil pack died on me(right after a timing belt change, freaked me out). I put a new one in from NAPA and it ran better than new.

Although roadblocks will halt traffic and security will be amped up, authorities say that today's Tour de Georgia stage will be business as usual.
The Tour de Georgia celebration begins behind the Gainesville Civic Center at 1 p.m. — complete with bicycle helmet fittings and face painting — in anticipation of more than 100 cyclists finishing the third leg of the weeklong race.
About 25,000 spectators are expected for the race, and Gainesville police officers and Hall County Sheriff's deputies will be on hand.
Gainesville police Lt. Keith Lingerfelt said officers will provide standard security at the stage's finish line near Martha Hope Cabin, and there will be an officer at each of the intersections affected by Tour cyclists.
During the race, three Gainesville officers will provide security for events behind the Gainesville Civic Center and around the Martha Hope Cabin. As intersections and roads reopen, more officers will provide security near the finish line.
Both authorities and event coordinators said they do not expect any trouble, although three cyclists from China are competing. Protests about China's human rights violations and violent crackdown on Tibet have dogged the Olympic torch several times during its relay.
Jackie Tyson, director of communications for the tour, said no protests were reported during the first two days of the race.
"I expected none, because they (Chinese cyclists) don't have anything to do with the Olympic Games," said Tyson.
The threat is so miniscule that local authorities have not made special arrangements, although Maj. Jeff Strickland says the Hall County Sheriff's Office can handle any occasion.
"That's the first I've heard," said Lingerfelt. "I haven't heard anything about possible protests."
Tyson, who has worked with the Georgia State Patrol in previous years, said law enforcement across the state does a good job of keeping cyclists and spectators safe.
Since Gainesville and Hall County have experience with the Tour, Tyson said "they know exactly what to do" when it's time to clear the roads for cyclists.
"They do a great job with safety for the cyclists and safety for the spectators as well," she said.
Even so, motorists could find themselves sitting at a roadblock for a half hour or more if they hit areas at the wrong times.
As the race passes through parts of Hall County and Gainesville, the roads used for the race will be closed 30 minutes prior to cyclists arriving in that area.
Motorists who normally use Exit 24 on Interstate 985 in the afternoons should use Exit 22 today, because Exit 24 will be closed between 2:30 to 3 p.m., said Terri Pope, spokeswoman for the state Department of Transportation.
A number of other streets throughout the city — including a closure of Longstreet Hills subdivision to nonresidential traffic — will be affected as well.
For those who want to attend the events behind the Civic Center, free parking will be available at First Baptist Church, Providence Church and the lot in front of the Green Street Pool, said Gainesville Hall County Convention and Visitors Bureau President Stacey Dickson.
However, with thousands of spectators expected, those parking spaces may fill up. Dickson says that should not discourage people from coming to the Tour events.
"It's going to be a beautiful day, and we encourage people to just park in the county deck and just walk down," said Dickson.
Dickson also has another bit of advice: If you want a good spot at the finish line, get there early.
Those wanting a good view of the cyclists racing to the finish should be in place by 2:30 p.m., because cyclists should be arriving downtown by 2:45 or 3 p.m., Dickson said.

Hockey stars hit real ice early for videogame
By John Gaudiosi
VANCOUVER (Reuters Life!) - Hockey fans who can't wait for the opening of the hockey season on October 4 can jump on the virtual ice today, with new videogames hitting stores in time for the start of the NHL training camps.
NHL 2K9 is the first and only hockey games available for Nintendo's Wii console, and EA Sports celebrated the launch of NHL 09, its 18th NHL game by asking six hockey stars to suit up to capture new moves for next year's NHL 10 game.
Josh Harding, of the Minnesota Wild, Corey Perry, of the Anaheim Ducks, Jeremy Roenick, of the San Jose Sharks, Patrick O'Sullivan, of the Los Angeles Kings, and Drew Doughty, of the Los Angeles Kings, joined NHL 09 cover athlete Dion Phaneuf from the Calgary Flames on the ice, adorned with reflective balls and Lycra suits that captured every move for their virtual counterparts.
"Playing the game growing up I always wondered how they put the player's movements into the games and now knowing how they do it and helping them out has been a lot of fun," said Doughty, the second-overall pick in the 2008 NHL draft.
Sean Ramjagsingh, gameplay producer for NHL 09, said this is the first time EA Sports has been able to assemble this many NHL players on the ice at once for a videogame.
"We really wanted guys with great personalities, great players, and we wanted to have a mix of young up-and-comers," said Ramjagsingh. "These are guys who've grown up playing the NHL videogames."
The Xbox and Playstation 3 NHL 2K9 allows gamers to use the remote like a hockey stick to send slap shots at the goalie. When fighting on the virtual ice, players can grab both the Nunchuk and Remote controllers and get a workout while pummeling the opposition. Continued...

Is Facebook Working for You?
June 5, 2012
THE TALK... | Sales & Marketing
I wish I could say Window & Door is always on the cutting edge of technology and business trends, but I have to admit we fall behind every now and then. We were the first publication in the industry with a website featuring the latest news and, more recently, we were the first to offer our publication as an app, but we claim no firsts when it comes to Facebook. In fact, we just decided to create a page last week.
We welcome you to check it out. We hope you'll even "like" us. More importantly, we hope you'll like it and use it as a new way to share your company news, interesting links and other noteworthy information with the industry.
And since we're talking about Facebook, we thought we would revisit a poll we did about a year ago to see whether its influence in the industry has changed. Of course we'd like to hear from you too. How is your company using Facebook? Are you using to connect with trade and business customers or homeowners? What have been the benefits? Or, did you give it a go and decide it wasn't worth the effort? Post a comment and let us know about your experiences.
Survey Results as of 06/08/2012:
For my company, Facebook is:
Still an afterthought; not seen as particularly critical.
An emerging component in our marketing efforts.
Something we're just thinking about now.
Already an important part of our marketing and communications efforts.
Our survey results suggest Facebook usage within the industry is growing, but not exactly at a breakneck pace. This year, 12 percent of our respondents said it was an important part of marketing and communications efforts at their companies. That's up from 10 percent in a similar poll we did last year. Nineteen percent report Facebook is an emerging component in their company's marketing efforts. That's up from 13 percent last year.
There are plenty of doubters out there, however. The number of people indicating Facebook is not particularly critical increased slighlty too. I suspect there are quite a few of you out there who would agree with Rod Van Buskirk, owner of Bacon & Van Buskirk Glass Co., who wrote in a blog for our sister publication, Glass Magazine, recently: "I still can't get how Facebook and Twitter will help me sell glass and windows." He asks those effectively using social media in their marketing to share their stories.
We're appreciative of Greg Gadbout's comments on how Rangate and the Alpine Technical Workshops are benefiting from social media. No doubt there are other success stories out there. Like Rod, we'd like to hear from you too.

I want to relate my recent experience with Lee Precision and let others know how things went.
I use Lee Products a lot. All of my die sets are Lee. The only reloading tools I have that are not Lee products are my bullet puller (Cabelas), scale(RCBS), and some Cabelas case prep stuff and Dial Caliper. Everything else is Lee.
I had my first problem a few weeks back. My Savage model 10, .308 Winchester, evidently has a very tight chamber, so when resized brass was reloaded there was some friction in the chamber making the bolt harder to close than it should have been. I checked everything with claipers and it was all within SAAMI tolernaces, however not small enough to fit smoothly in my particular chamber like factory ammo does.
I went to Lee's website and follwed the instructions there, which were to send the die with two fired cases and one resized case. I sent the stuff with a note letting them know what the problem was.
I mailed it out on Wed afternoon and much to my suprise on Monday afternoon had a new die in the mailbox, sized for my chamber (close to min SAAMI spec).
I couldn't believe the turn around time. They also returned my 3 cases. Needless to say, I was impressed with the service I received and thought that the best thing to do would be to share my good experience with others.

Cannondale Skids
Aluminum high-performance bike manufacturer Cannondale Corp. (Nasdaq: BIKE) skidded for a $4 17/32 loss to $16 9/32 this morning after announcing that it expects Q3 earnings to fall below analysts' expectations. Joseph Montgomery, founder, president, and CEO of Cannondale, reported that a combination of bad weather, dealer inventory realignment, and the strength of the U.S. dollar are all colluding to possibly bring down Q3 EPS by $0.35, which would be roughly one-half of Q3 EPS estimate of $0.72. The company's 75% institutional ownership is a strong contributor to its volatility this morning because many of the factors cited for the company's expected shortfall had already been considered in Q3 earnings models. Cannondale's share price from the end of 1994 until yesterday had appreciated at a compound annual rate of 26%, with net sales increasing at a compound rate of 16% from 1991 through the end of fiscal 1997.
The company's bicycle line has grown from 21 models in 1992 to 59 models today. Initial disdain among road bike purists for the company's fat aluminum tubing gave way to the amateur racer's desire for a lighter, stiffer frame with tight geometries that were better suited for American-style criterium racing. Once the mountain bike craze took over, the company's quality brand took off. Currently the company sports more than twice as many mountain bikes as road bikes, sponsors a number of professional racing teams, and makes such high-tech creations as the "Raven," a frame composed of lightweight carbon fiber bonded to an aluminum spine, and the "HeadShok" suspension fork, a proprietary suspension system. Last quarter Cannondale continued to take market share in a tough, domestic bike market as sales for its road bikes gained 40% in the face of an 8% decline in the overall industry, while simultaneously posting gains in a mountain bike and hybrid bike market that dropped 7% and 3% respectively.
Joseph Montgomery's seven-day-a-week work ethic clashed with the company's co-founders Jim Catrambone and Ron Davis who reportedly, "used to fight over why Ron and I wanted Sunday off." In addition, Montgomery's obsession with making a quality product is reflected in a recent interview for a Bloomberg Profile: "It has to be the best -- I don't know how to do cheap." Nonetheless, Montgomery's years as a Wall Street analyst in the '60s fostered a healthy concern for the bottom line. The company's current problems stem from a foreign currency induced gross margin decline that began last quarter, as gross margins dipped to 36.8% from 38.5% year over year. Additionally, U.S. bike inventory is declining to accommodate a "just in time" model, with inventory at the supplier level down 33.6% in Q2 and down 17.3% at the retail level near the end of last year. This development will result in a hiccup in sales for Cannondale, but will ultimately be a benefit due to the company's flexible manufacturing capability.
Cannondale trades at 8.8 times 1999 EPS estimates of $1.85 (pared back by $0.15), which is a substantial discount to the 13% EPS growth that it can still achieve in 1999. Couple that with the company's 10% penetration of the $400 million sport wheelchair market over the next three years (also distributed through specialty bike shops), and investors may want to take a closer look.
H. F. Ahmanson & Co. (NYSE: AHM) jumped $11 1/2 to $77 after announcing a definitive agreement to merge with Seattle-based thrift Washington Mutual (Nasdaq: WAMU) in a stock swap valued at $9.9 billion. Each Ahmanson share will be converted into 1.12 shares of Washington Mutual stock. The conversion rate represents a purchase price of $80.36 per Ahmanson share, or a 23% premium to the stock's closing price of $65 1/2 yesterday. Last year, the two thrifts wrangled over Great Western Financial, for which Ahmanson launched a hostile takeover offer and said it would take all job cuts out of Great Western's employee base. WAMU, as it's called, came to the rescue to merge with Great Western and became the country's largest thrift, surpassing Ahmanson.
Diversified construction and manufacturing firm Foster Wheeler Corp. (NYSE: FWC) climbed $1 5/16 to $30 3/8 after its Spanish steam-generating equipment subsidiary received the go-ahead from Chinese authorities to proceed with a $72 million contract to provide coal-fired burners and equipment to a power plant in Meizhouwan.
CollaGenex Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: CGPI) gained $2 5/16 to $9 3/8 after the pharmaceutical company agreed with the Food and Drug Administration on the action plan and timeline for the review of the company's new drug application for its Periostat periodontal disease treatment.
Carpeting and furniture cushioning products maker Foamex International (Nasdaq: FMXI) advanced $2 3/16 to $17 9/16 after receiving an unsolicited buyout offer from privately owned Trace International Holdings at a price of $17 per share. The offer represents a 22.5% premium to the stock's closing price of $13 7/8 on Friday, the company said.
Balsa wood products manufacturer and shrimp farmer Baltek Corp. (Nasdaq: BTEK) was lifted $1 1/4 to $8 7/8 after reporting Q4 EPS of $0.31, which was almost four times higher than the $0.08 earned a year ago.
Four Media Co. (Nasdaq: FOUR) moved $31/32 higher to $8 1/2 after the provider of programming support services to TV and feature film studios reported fiscal Q2 EPS of $0.07 versus a $0.06 loss a year ago, which was in line with the First Call mean estimate.
3Dfx Interactive (Nasdaq: TDFX) stormed ahead $1 11/16 to $28 1/2 after the company announced that PC multimedia products manufacturer STB Systems (Nasdaq: STBI) will adopt 3Dfx's Voodoo2 graphics accelerator chipset for its new 3D accelerator card. STB has worked with 3Dfx's prior Voodoo chipset and there will probably be more 3Dfx customers making similar announcements in coming months.
Steel products and services provider Inland Steel Industries (NYSE: IAD) gained $5 1/8 to $28 1/2 after agreeing to sell its Inland Steel Co. steel-making subsidiary to Holland's Ispat International N.V. (NYSE: IST) for $888.2 million in cash and $538.6 million in assumed debt. Inland's 87%-owned steel service centers subsidiary Ryserson Tull (NYSE: RT) also rose $1 1/2 to $19 5/8 on the news. Other steel makers were up as well, as Bethlehem Steel (NYSE: BS) added $13/16 to $13 1/8, National Steel Corp. (NYSE: NS) advanced $1 3/4 to $18 9/16, and LTV Corp. (NYSE: LTV) tacked on $9/16 to $12 15/16.
Ratings Movers
Dermatology and cosmetic products delivery systems developer Advanced Polymer Systems (Nasdaq: APOS) advanced $3/4 to $7 7/8 after SBC Warburg Dillon Read started coverage of the stock with a "buy" rating.
J.B. Hunt Transportation Services (Nasdaq: JBHT) rolled $1 1/2 higher to $29 7/8 after Morgan Stanley upgraded the shares of the transportation and logistics services company to "outperform" from "neutral."
Biopharmaceutical company Centocor Inc. (Nasdaq: CNTO) gained $2 1/2 to $41 1/16 after Merrill Lynch named the company its "Focus 1 Stock of the Week."
Air cargo services company Atlas Air (NYSE: CGO) rose $1 1/4 to $34 9/16 after Merrill Lynch raised its rating on the company to "outperform" from "neutral."
Integrated circuits, electronics, and PC manufacturer Micron Technology (NYSE: MU) lost $2 to $31 3/4 after reporting late yesterday a second quarter loss of $0.23 per share on sales of $755 million. Operating losses incurred by the company's semiconductor memory and PC systems operations were partially offset by the sale of 90% of the company's contract manufacturing subsidiary. Without the gain on that sale, the company's per-share loss looked to be more in the $0.46 range. The company said its semiconductor memory operations have been "severely impacted" by discounting by Asian competitors, who are dumping products below their cost of production.
Ancor Communications (Nasdaq: ANCR), which provides GigWorks high-performance storage and data-intensive network solutions based on Fibre Channel technology, dropped $2 3/16 to $6 5/8 after announcing that it was not selected by Sun Microsystems (Nasdaq: SUNW) to be the preferred supplier of Fibre Channel switches for Sun's new StorEdge family of products under development.
Satellite and radio communication services provider Datron Systems (Nasdaq: DTSI) sank $1 7/8 to $7 after announcing late yesterday that it expects to report a loss for its fiscal year ending March 31 of up to $3.2 million, or $1.20 per share. The shortfall includes a write-off of the company's $1.1 million investment in EarthWatch Inc. The remainder of the projected loss is primarily due to low gross margins resulting from cost overruns at Datron/Transco Inc., the company's antenna and imaging systems business segment.
ENCAD Inc. (Nasdaq: ENCD), maker of wide-format color inkjet printers, plunged $3 5/8 to $13 1/8 after announcing yesterday that it expects first quarter results to range from breakeven to a loss due to lower-than-anticipated product sales and competitor-driven price cuts for its flagship products. The company also foresees earnings for the year falling "well below" previous-year earnings.
Electronics products manufacturer Electro Scientific Industries (Nasdaq: ESIO) fell $1 3/4 to $35 3/4 after reporting third quarter earnings of $0.65 per share (excluding merger costs), compared with $0.70 in the second quarter and the Zacks mean estimate of $0.68. Sales declined to $57.6 million from second quarter sales of $59.9 million.
K&G Men's Center (Nasdaq: MENS) fell $3/4 to $24 1/4 after the men's apparel retailer reported fourth quarter earnings of $0.29, compared with $0.22 in the prior-year period and the First Call mean estimate of $0.29. The company announced that it plans to increase its pace of expansion this year, with 10 superstore openings planned compared with 8 store openings in 1997.

I have an 8 year old, male Golden Retriever that began collapsing when walking and now his hind legs are very weak an he can not stand up on his own or walk for more than 5 minutes.
He also started having small tremors with his head but last night he had a bad seizure that tensed all of his muscles and rolled his eyes back in his head, he eventually came out of it and looked confused but then would not stop panting and trying to walk in circles for hours. I stayed up with him for 4 or 5 hours until 4am until he finally fell asleep.
During the day he is still alert and appears happy and constantly wagging his tail and still seems to be himself except he can't really walk and has small tremors.
We've been through many blood tests, urine tests and he's seen a neurologist but they have not been able to come up with a diagnosis yet. This has been going on for about 6 months now. We are being to fear it could be a brain tumor.
Has anyone seen this before or been in this situation? Is there any hope in treatment or any other possibilities of what could be causing this?
I've heard hind leg weakness is a side affect of drugs that treat seizures but we haven't even started him on any drug for seizures yet.
The vet just gave us some very strong steroids to start him on and phenobarbital to stop the seizures.

I spent a while pulling apart my brothers laser levels, and was trying to figure out if it has a Red laser diodes that are almost certainly the most typical forms of diodes used in the lower end outdoor laser levels or a 630nm Helium-neon laser It looks like the wavelenth they work at either 650nm or 630 - 635nm not sure which one. I though it will be an open diode but it really seems like it's closed because it has some sort of casing around the diode which suggests at the very least it has some protection.
The beam of light is really small and intense Possibly its a diode pumped solid state laser (DPSS) - I think these laser beams work on about 670nm or 680nm. They've got a higher beam feature and lower spectral bandwidth. Generally the standard and brightness is a lot more finer than the lower nm beams.Laser levels throw a beam of light that can be used as a visible chalk line every time a straight and even location point is needed.
The dimensions of the beam of light will depend on the scale of the diode. In this instance, smaller is much better a slighter beam of light is more precise. Using a wider beam of light, the actual point of "level" may be set anywhere in the width of the ray. So I think that is why the laser level line is so tiny and presice so as to have a really precise measurement.
Now I've the laser out of the level I just need to choose what I'm going to do with it now I have it, I would like think of a cool project to get my teeth into, has anybody made some amusing and entertaining things with a spare building laser level beam

A visit here will have you escaping into breath-taking scenery, enjoying some delicious food and drink, and truly discovering a different pace of life...
There is no denying that Madeira is the perfect destination for those who like a great deal of activity during their breaks. Once you are out of the towns and residential areas there is so much stunning scenery to discover. As the island itself rests upon the top of a massive volcano coming up through the ocean, the mountain peaks and ridges are truly breath-taking. The hillsides are perfect for getting brilliant views out across the island and the Atlantic ocean and many hikers are drawn to the challenge of climbing the islands highest peak, the Pico Ruivo. The island is also visited for the amazing flora that grows here, thanks to the mild climate. A long time ago the island was mainly rainforest and although most of the trees have now gone there are still pockets of forest on the north of the island.
Take some time out to visit the neighbouring island of Porto Santo, which can easily be reached by ferry or by a quick flight. If you want to get about under your own steam though, take the ferry as you can take your hire car and really make the most of your time there.
Although there are few beaches, the island certainly makes the most of its coastline. Grab a car and take a tour along the coast road to discover remote caves and some of Europe's highest cliffs. Water sports are plentiful here, from surfing, snorkelling and diving to fishing and sailing; mainly thanks to the crystal clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Head to the Garajou National Marine Park where you'll find yourself in a unique underwater world and one of the only marine reservations in the area.
Of course, Madeira isn't all about heading out into the great outdoors, there is a relaxed laidback vibe to the area too. There are plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants to try during your stay. In fact, Madeira is the perfect place to enjoy a fantastic meal and seafood is, unsurprisingly, one of the islands delicacies. And to complement your meal why not try one of the islands famous wines. Madeira wine is a fortified wine ranging from sweet to dry and is noted for its unique wine making process, which is still used today.
There are plenty of hotels and accommodation to choose from across the island, but the city of Funchal makes a great base, even if just for a few days of your break. The city is nestled right on the edge of the Atlantic ocean on the south of the island. Although it is now quite a modern city, its rich history can still be seen in many of the buildings and architecture which spans back across five centuries. The cobbled streets, picturesque churches and stunning Gothic style Cathedral tell the story of old Madeira. Funchal Harbour is still buzzing, as one of the city's most popular areas for visitors - in fact, watch long enough and you're likely to see a number of cruise liners head in to pick up passengers.
Other areas of interest include Canico, the Lido promenade, which leads down to an extensive leisure zone for tourists with a number of large sea water pools for swimming and sunbathing and of course the town of Machino. Machico has great significance as it was the place where the original discoverers of Madeira landed so many years ago. Machino offers a small beach for relaxing and fantastic areas for those who enjoy walking holidays. It is also home to one of the oldest churches, the Capela dos Milagres.
For a real sense of freedom when travelling around Madeira, consider taking advantage of a hire car and explore the island at your own pace during your stay.
Flying to Madeira is straightforward with plenty of departures from the UK year round...
Most Madeira flights generally come via nearby cities such as Lisbon or Porto, arriving into Madeira's own Funchal Airport (FNC).
However, in recent years an increasing number of airlines are flying direct from the UK and at competitive prices.
Direct flying time from the UK is on average just under 3 hours 50 minutes.
Madeira's Funchal Airport is small but well serviced for transfers...
Arriving into Funchal Airport on the island of Madeira expect a good range of transfer services, especially in the summer months when tourism is especially high.
Once here, the airport is just minutes away from the main city, which can be reached easily by taxi, bus or the Aero-bus, an express service straight to the city centre.
Madeira is such a beautiful island and depending on your tastes, it offers many contrasting, but excellent places to stay...
The main resort and city of Funchal is always a good choice for those who want great hotels, some nightlife and great restaurants. Be aware though, Madeira is not a rowdy or overly commercial destination - which makes it popular with couples, older travellers, families (seeking some peace and quiet) and, of course, walkers - who love its famous walking paths.
Better value hotels and accommodation are set back from the Lido area of Sao Martinho. If your budget allows, stay near the Lido as it is very picturesque and upmarket.
Places such as Garajau, Canico de Baixo and Santa Cruz are not far from Funchal due to the Via Rapida - a relatively new highway that has shortened the distance for travellers across the island. The temperatures remain tropical here and all of these resorts are quieter than Funchal and have good beaches and competitively priced, but smaller hotels.
Machismo in the north east offers a cooler location and the wonderful sandy beach of Sao Lourenco is not far away. Great for families, this tranquil town boasts some excellent guesthouses and restaurants and is a good starting point for a number of nice 'levada' walks.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - The Tennessee veterans completed their second full day of practice at Haslam Field on Saturday and head coach Derek Dooley likes what he sees so far.
"I'm really pleased with the way this team has approached these (first) two days," Dooley said. "They have a real workmanlike approach, a lot of leadership, a lot of chatter and have been really positive."
While the Vols have impressed early in camp, Dooley knows that won't mean much if they can't sustain that energy. UT will put shoulder pads on for the first time Sunday, which will be the first of many tests for the Big Orange over the next few weeks.
"I'm proud of them but, of course, the challenge is as you get deeper into camp something will be new," Dooley said. "We'll have shoulder pads on and they'll feel heavier, it will be hotter and how do we respond to that?
"The good news is that things are good as far as how we are working and how we are approaching (practice) but the test will come each day and that's when it gets tougher on the leadership. Overall, it's been a real good start and we're looking forward to putting pads on."
The veterans aren't the only ones practicing though as Dooley and his staff got their first look at all of the newcomers Friday night.
"Last night was good," Dooley said. "It was about like most of the freshmen practices, so their heads are spinning and they have no idea what we're talking about. The ones that go out and play fast and don't worry about all of that always look a little better. It was good."
The Vols could have one of the most potent receiver corps in the nation with All-SEC receiver Da'Rick Rogers joined by junior Justin Hunter and JUCO transfer Cordarrelle Patterson. Rogers and Hunter have been working out in the day sessions, while Patterson is taking to the field with the newcomers in the evening. The trio has yet to officially work on the practice field together, but Rogers is anticipating the day, which is slated to be Monday -- when the team practices as one.
"I can't wait until we come together because I really am excited to see what (Patterson) does against the first team," Rogers said. "I have seen him against the other guys and he looked really good."
Many media members and fans have come to the conclusion that Patterson is a combination of both Rogers and Hunter, creating a another weapon for Tyler Bray. Rogers agrees with the concept.
"I do see that," Rogers said about the top-rated JUCO prospect coming into the 2012 season. "He has all those things so we can put him in the slot, we can put him on the outside, we can use him in a lot of places."
Rogers has also been taken by Patterson's comprehension of the game, coupled with his physical gifts making him a huge asset for the Vols.
"Really just his knowledge of the game," Rogers said in terms of what he was most impressed about with Patterson. "His speed is really good. He is my size so he is a big receiver. He just adds to our core.
"When you have so many weapons you have to respect every weapons so it opens up so many opportunities for our offense, even in the run game."
Sophomore defensive back Justin Coleman is really excited for the upcoming season. Not only will he have a year of experience under his belt, but he will also be playing in new Defensive Coordinator Sal Sunseri's 3-4 defensive scheme.
"I feel like Coach Sal's more aggressive defensive style fits me because I am a more physical guy," said the Brunswick, Ga., native. "I like to play press coverage and that will help out on the blitzes. I feel pretty confident with the new scheme. Everything is coming to me fairly easy, but there are still some challenging parts that come with understanding a new defense. That being said, I still have a lot to learn."
"In the 3-4 scheme, there is a little more information that the corners have to learn. We aren't really behind any other position, but there is just a lot to learn with stuff like where to line up so we can know we have the defense set up right."
The 5-10, 182-pounder is excited for practice to start. With many of the secondary positions being wide open, Coleman is especially looking forward to the position battles this August.
"There is a ton of competition with the defensive backs. Everybody wants to start and everybody wants to play especially in a packed stadium with thousands and thousands of people screaming."
O-LINE LOOKING FOR VERSATILITYThe first two days of practice have brought with them some change on the offensive line with James Stone working at center and Alex Bullard seeing action at tackle as the Vols look to increase their versatility up front.
Bullard, who started six games at guard and six at center last season, has embraced the challenge of playing yet another position.
"If somebody goes down I will probably be the person who they move and fill in the void," Bullard said. "I just have to work to know every position, tackle or center, and do that to the best of my ability."
Dooley sees the move with Bullard as adding value to his squad in terms of increased flexibility and depth all across the front five.
"He's a little bit like James (Stone) as far as his body type," Dooley said. "We've worked James at all three (positions) and we've worked Alex at center and guard. We're going to work him a little bit at tackle, which we have the last couple of days to see if he could be that guy. The more guys you have like that the better."
As a unit, Bullard and the rest of the offensive line are clearly confident in their abilities and want to prove their naysayers wrong.
"We are a lot older and we are more mature," Bullard said. "We have a chip on our shoulder. They say we were one of the worst offensive lines in the country last year and I disagree with that. Statistically we were one of the worst, but we have a chip on our shoulder and we have something to prove this year. We want to go out and do it."
COUCH STUDIES UP ON 3-4 DEFENSERedshirt junior Maurice Couch and his fellow defensive linemen have had their hands full learning the 3-4 defense this offseason and in practice.
The Orlando, Fla., native has been practicing mainly at nose tackle, the anchor position of the 3-4, and said working in the offseason with new UT strength and conditioning intern Nick Gentry, who starred in the interior defensive line of Alabama's 3-4 the past five seasons, has helped him adjust to the new defensive scheme.
"Working with Nick Gentry and Coach Mac, as a group we did really great in the offseason," Couch said. "A lot of us got stronger and faster. All over the board, we had a really good offseason."
That work has not gone unnoticed, with head coach Derek Dooley commenting on Couch's improvement after Saturday's practice.
"Mo is doing really well," Dooley said. "He really struggled when he first got here just even getting through practice so he has worked hard on his conditioning and is showing a lot of mental toughness giving effort. He has some good fast-twitch body fibers in there and just goes all out."
Studying game film of Alabama, the New England Patriots and the Miami Dolphins (teams that run the 3-4) has played a big role in the defensive line's learning process. Couch said the toughest thing about the 3-4 defense is its mental aspect - knowing gap assignments and making adjustments on the fly. Despite the challenge, he thinks the complexity of the scheme will benefit the Vols.
"You definitely get to see different adjustments, like as far as your opponents and what they're doing," he said. "It's just crazy. It's a very tough defensive scheme. At the end of it, for us it definitely will help our team win."
LANE LIKING NEW MENTORThere were many new additions to the coaching staff during the offseason, none as important to Marlin Lane as Jay Graham, the new running backs coach. Graham brings veteran leadership to the university that the running back corps can respect.
"It feels a lot different now because we have someone that we can look at now that played both here at Tennessee and at the next level," said Lane. "Learning from him has given us a head start [to the season]."
Graham was a letterwinner at Tennessee from 1993-96 who rushed for 2,609 yards during that time, seventh most in school history. In 1995, he rushed for 1,438 yards on 272 carries (second on the single-season list).
"He hasn't popped the game tapes in," Lane continued, "but he always says he has no idea what we are talking about when we ask him how many yards he ran. I know a little bit about him though."
Lane is happy with his new mentor, showing up to meetings early and leaving late only to head to the field and work on some plays.
"It feels natural [with Graham]" said Lane. "There are some ups-and-downs because we have more meeting times now than we had in the spring. We are getting to know a lot about each other. He stays on me though and we keep moving forward."

A few weeks before football season starts, Mississippi State has unveiled the state's first set of regulations governing commercial tailgating companies.
A school press release said the rules governing commercial tailgating companies — those that erect tailgate set-ups for customers — are designed to manage the industry's expansion.
A committee adopted the policies after studying the issue on the Starkville campus. Members also examined similar policies at other institutions. The results showed that the expansion of the commercial tailgating business has led to tension with traditional tailgaters and those who contract with vendors.
A cornerstone of the policy, a fee commercial tailgating companies have to pay to operate on campus, will be waived this year. It will take effect next year. Companies will also have to register with the school, and notify officials how many tailgating spaces it needs. A commercial tailgating operator will be defined as any company that is paid to set up more than 10 tents. The school anticipates having 250 tailgating spaces available for commercial operators.
"We were concerned about the potential encroachment on the traditional tailgate atmosphere brought about by multiple commercial operators on campus and others seeking to begin operations," said Don Buffum, MSU's director of procurement and contracts. "We regret that these changes may have a negative impact on a small number of our fans but wanted to preserve the first-come, first-served tradition at MSU tailgates for the majority of fans who continue to set up their own tents."
Buffum said some commercial tailgating companies have promised to locate customers/patrons in specific locations, an action that runs counter to the university's long-standing first-come, first-served tailgating policy. "These new policies have nothing to do with the university trying to make money or give better spots to large donors," Buffum said. "We are waiving the fees this year and implementing the fee next year to cover the cost of planning, marking, and policing the commercial locations to ensure fairness to all MSU fans."
Under the policies, MSU will designate two areas for commercial tent operations — one-half of the amphitheater area and one-half of the agricultural and biological engineering building's grass area.
A commercial operator will be defined as anyone who is paid to set up 10 or more tents. If MSU determines that an operator is setting up more than 10 tents and has not registered, the school might restrict its access to campus.
MSU anticipates having about 250 spaces available for commercial operators, Buffum said. The school will accommodate as many spaces as possible, it said, in the designated areas, but can not guarantee a certain number of spaces will be available to a particular commercial operator.
The commercial tailgating industry has expanded in Oxford, too, but not to the point that requires designated operation areas, Ole Miss athletics director Ross Bjork said.
"Each campus will decide on its own," he said in a phone interview last week.
Bjork said Ole Miss' policy remains open. Tailgaters who set up their own spreads and those who pay a vendor can locate in any of the school's tailgating areas. The only variable is who gets there first.
"But we always have to be concerned about safety and security, and who's coming on and off your campus, how they gain access and all those sort of things," Bjork said. "So we have to be mindful of those things moving ahead. At the same time, we have to maintain and grow and enhance the best tailgating atmosphere in college football. The balance there is always something you have to be mindful of. You always look at options, what's out there and what other people do. That's our job."
The University of Southern Mississippi also does not have policies in place regulating commercial tailgating, Brent Jones, associate AD for marketing and communications, said in an email.

Global Graffiti Documentary BOMB IT 2 Comes to DVD Today
Hybrid Cinema is pleased to announce the DVD release of global graffiti documentary Bomb It 2, by award-winning filmmaker-author Jon Reiss today, November 5, 2013 via MVD Entertainment Group.
Going where no graffiti doc has Gone before, in this follow-up to his explosive street art documentary Bomb It, Reiss travels to Asia, Australia, the Middle East, and beyond, exploring local graffiti scenes and speaking to local artists. Graffiti and street artists featured include Ash Keating, Bon, Great Bates, Husk Mit Navn, Klone, Know Hope, Phibs, Stormie Mills,Vexta, Victor Ash, Xeme, and many others. In keeping with the international approach to the film, Bomb It 2 had premieres on five continents - North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa. August 6th sawBomb It 2's VOD (Video On Demand) release on iTunes, Amazon, Vudu, Xbox, Google/YouTube and theBomb It 2 website. VOD via Hulu and Netflix are also scheduled for this fall. For more information, please visit http://www.bombit2movie.com.
In Bomb It 2, the follow-up to the explosive 2007 global graffiti documentary Bomb It, Reiss takes audiences to previously unexplored areas of the Middle East, Europe, Asia, the United States, and Australia on a hunt for innovative street art and artists. Using an ultra compact camera and sound package, Reiss traveled by himself to artists representing a wide range of cultures, styles, and beliefs, with Reiss functioning as producer, director, cameraman, and sound person all at once on the film. In the process of making the film, he climbed into sewers, visited red ant infested buildings, and fractured his ankle in an Estonian hall of fame.
In the Middle East, Reiss talks with Muhnned Alazzh in the West Bank where Alazzh emphasizes the cultural and political significance of writing on The Wall in Palestinian refugee camps. In Jakarta, Indonesia,Darbotz paints his signature squid monsters in black and white, to distinguish them from the explosion of color on the Jakarta streets. In Singapore, Reiss connects with street artists Zero and Killer Gerbil, who explain the paradox of doing graffiti in one of the most highly policed states in the world. Many countries visited for Bomb It 2 didn't have much of a street art scene at all when the original Bomb It was shot back in 2004-2005.

Bomb It (2007) -
Released in 2007, the original Bomb It documentary investigates the most subversive and controversial art form currently shaping international youth culture: graffiti. Roughly 200 artists from 5 continents were interviewed by Reiss for the film including old school legends and current favorites such as Taki 183, Cornbread, Stay High 149, T-Kid, Cope 2, Zephyr, Revs, Os Gemeos, KET, Chino, Shepard Fairey, Revok, Mear One, and Blek Le Rat. At the core of the film is a statement about the war being waged for public space. Starting with graffiti's roots in New York and Philadelphia, Bomb It goes on to explore the graff cultures in London, Paris, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Barcelona, Berlin, Cape Town, São Paulo, and Tokyo, before finally wrapping up in Los Angeles. The film features original footage with artists around the world who have taken the form and applied it to their particular cultural and social conditions, from Latin America, where graffiti has been adapted into the mural tradition, to Japan where anime inspired rakugaki juxtaposes with formal calligraphy and conformist societal norms, to Europe where a dadaist/surrealist tradition produces deliberately confrontational prankstering. To learn more, please visit www.bombit-themovie.com.
"The original Bomb It had a strong thematic orientation and an intellectual narrative - in the first film, we looked at the big global graffiti scenes and established the historical foundation of the art form," says Reiss, "Since that foundation had already been established in the first film, we were able to approach Bomb It 2 in a much freer way, using an episodic structure."
Graffiti -
While some believe the roots of graffiti can be traced back to pre-linguistic cave markings and the innate human need for self-expression, graffiti remains a highly controversial issue. Using a myriad of original interviews, as well as guerilla footage of graffiti writers in action, Bomb It and Bomb It 2 both tell the story of contemporary graffiti, from its roots in ancient rock paintings through Picasso, to the rise of hip hop culture in 1970s New York City, culminating in its current, pervasive presence in a variety of forms - on the streets and in pop culture throughout the world.

Republicans leaders insist they intend to repeal the Affordable Care Act known as Obamacare. There is evidence of widespread dislike of the law, mainly due to the incompetence of how it has been presented to the public and start up problems. Latest figures indicate that at least three million already have signed up to be covered by the Affordable Care Act. The main reason that millions are registering is there IS a problem in this country due to lack of medical insurance for millions. America is the LAST country in the post industrial world to finally agree that people NEED a health insurance system. So, the Republican Party promises that if they are elected that is the end of the Affordable Care Act.
Let us assume that Republicans wind up this fall in control of the House of Representatives and the Senate. They pass bills to repeal the law or they refuse to fund the law. What then? At least six million people would then lack health insurance. Hundreds of thousands of college students living with parents would lack health insurance. Thousands who now are covered because the law makes it illegal to deny coverage due to pre-existing coverage would then lack health insurance.
The bottom line is that Republicans lack ANY HEALTH PLAN TO REPLACE THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT!
