Obama Shouldn't Speak About RaceThe Sherrod brouhaha is distressing evidence of why we can't have an honest public discourse about race.
The Debate About the Tea Party and RacismFor critics like the NAACP, the Tea Party tolerates racism in its ranks, a charge party leaders strongly reject. To condemn the so-called movement for the craziness of some of its more idiotic fans is less than fair. But Tea Party leaders do seem more interested in attacking perceived enemies on the left than in taking on bigoted fringe groups aligned with the party.
The Race Gap in the Economic RecoveryEarlier this month, the Federal Reserve released an immense report detailing evidence of the nation's ongoing economic recovery. The collective net worth of American households and non-profits rose $6.3 trillion since the first quarter of 2009 (generally considered the low point of the Great Recession). And the value of household real-estate grew by well over $800 billion. But we are still billions of dollars down from where we were when the economy collapsed in late 2007. And for many Americans, the recovery has not yet begun—least of all for poor communities of color....
Why Alabama's Artur Davis Lost the Black VoteArtur Davis was supposed to be the Deep South's first elected black governor. He had arrived at Harvard Law School in 1990—months after Barack Obama was elected president of the law review. And many, in Alabama and elsewhere, thought his political gifts rivaled those of the president himself.
Newark Mayor Cory Booker Is Model for ObamaCory Booker was the Obama of American politics before Barack Obama leaped onto the national stage. When Booker first ran for mayor of Newark in 2002, Barack Obama was a relatively unknown Illinois state senator. It would be two more years before Obama's keynote address at the Democratic National Convention would transform him into an international star. But Booker, a fresh-faced former Rhodes Scholar and graduate of Stanford University and Yale Law School, was already being lauded—in the national press, on Wall Street, and in Hollywood, as well—as the face of a new generation of post-civil-rights, post-baby-boomer (in style, if not exactly in fact) African-American politicians who would march America into a glorious new day.

Strolling through the farmers market, basket on your arm, is a wonderful spring pastime in the Northwest.
You feel like you are discovering the nicest — and certainly the freshest — fruit, vegetables, eggs, cheese and flowers produced by people right in your community. This month, look for tender lettuces, asparagus and rhubarb, honey and new-laid eggs. The selections build through the summer. You can start looking for strawberries and cherries next month.
A sturdy and adorable shopping basket like the one in the picture doesn't hurt your style, either. This basket is great for picnics, potlucks and any toting task. Made by Reisenthel, it collapses flat to store, if there's ever a time you think you won't need this versatile carryall. It sells for $47.99 on Amazon.com and $40 at garnethill.com. The cover costs about $12.

Bean Trader: The Bohnanza Board Game
The players take the roles of bean traders and are members of the famous Bohn Hanse, the union of northern European cities and merchants involved in the bean trade in the middle ages. The players travel from Hanse city to Hanse city in wagons filled with valuable beans to deliver bean orders and to buy more beans. When a player is in a city and has an order card and the necessary beans to fulfill the order, he may deliver the beans and collect the value of the order from the bank. When two or more players are together in a city, they may trade beans among themselves. Trading beans is important as it allows players to get rid of unwanted beans and acquire needed beans. In addition, a player will buy beans in the city, if they have the kind he wants. From time to time, the bean supplies will be replenished as described on new harvest cards. After eight new harvests, the game begins its last round. After this last round, the game ends and the player with the most bean thalers (money) is the winner.

Shed Remodel
The shed started as an 8' x 8' barn type design. I increased it to a 8' x 16' shed with a 10' center and used an exterior metal door for the entrance. I actually used the half walls of the original building to construct the side walls. The outside is stuccoed and the roof is architectural shingles with a roof vent. The inside is finished with shelves and plenty of area to store outdoor tools. Total cost was around $2,000 and used exclusively Ryobi 18 volt and 110 volt tools.

Temperature limits
The permissible operating temperature for deep groove ball bearings can be limited by:
- the dimensional stability of the bearing rings and balls
- the cage
- the lubricant
When temperatures outside the permissible range are expected, contact the SKF application engineering service.
Bearing rings and balls
SKF deep groove ball bearings undergo a special heat treatment. The bearings are heat stabilized up to at least 120 °C (250 °F).
Steel cages can be used at the same operating temperatures as the bearing rings and balls.
Temperature limits for greases used in SKF deep groove ball bearings shielded on both sides are provided in table 1. Temperature limits for other SKF greases are provided under Lubrication.
When using lubricants not supplied by SKF, the temperature limits should be evaluated according to the SKF traffic light concept.

SOCHI, Russia (Reuters) - After getting their first taste of the Olympic figure skating arena in Sochi, American ice dancers Meryl Davis and Charlie White cannot wait to return for the main event in 2014.
The 2011 world champions said they have only positive memories from their trip to the Russian Black Sea resort, situated at the foot of the majestic Caucasus mountains, after winning the Grand Prix Final at the 12,000-seat Iceberg Palace.
"Looking out of my room I have the mountains on the left and the ocean on my right," White told reporters during the test event for the 2014 Winter Games, which concluded here on Sunday.
"It just gives you a sense of grandeur and you want to take that feeling to the ice."
The arena, which will stage the figure skating and short track events in February 2014, was the first to be completed at Sochi's Olympic Park.
"It's a beautiful arena and the atmosphere here is just fantastic," said Davis. "We've been several times in Moscow but this is our first visit to Sochi. Everything feels great."
The Americans beat Olympic champions and long-time training partners Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir of Canada in the short and the free dance to establish themselves as early favorites for the gold when the elite skaters take to the ice again at the same arena in less than 14 months from now.
The Canadians were also impressed with the facilities.
"The arena looks great, the ice is fantastic," said Virtue. "And the weather is great too, unlike Moscow or St Petersburg, especially this time of the year."
Moir added: "For us it's a great privilege to be here so early. The venue definitely has an Olympic feeling to it. It reminds me a lot of the arena in Vancouver."
While some were fascinated by the setting of palm trees against the backdrop of snow-covered peaks, two-time world men's champion Patrick Chan was enjoying a morning walk by the sea.
"It has become almost a daily ritual for me. I come early before practice just to get some fresh air," the Canadian figure skater said.
"At this time the place is virtually deserted. It's so quiet there you could almost here your heartbeat."
Problems remain, however, mainly in getting around the venues, with the city and the surrounding area still resembling a huge construction site.
Traffic on Sochi's limited motorways is bad at the best of times but it comes to a virtual standstill when Russian President Vladimir Putin, a frequent visitor to the resort, is in town.
Putin acknowledged the problem when he met the International Olympic Committee members during his visit to the Iceberg arena on Saturday.
"It's true the number of vehicles on our roads is increasing each year because more families can afford to buy more than one car," Putin said.
"We don't want to have less cars, we want to have better motorways. We're working on this problem, and I think, we will solve it in time for the Olympics or even before that."
Traffic jams and huge delays were blamed for thousands of empty seats during the first two days of the competition despite the assurances from the Olympic hosts that the arena was sold out a long time ago.
President of the International Skating Union (ISU) Ottavio Cinquanta was concerned with the lack of spectators.
"The first question I put to the president of the Sochi 2014 organising committee (Dmitry Chernyshenko) when I arrived here was about the spectators," the Italian told reporters.
"Are we having a full arena? And I was told the arena is sold out. Obviously, this is a problem but that's why we have these test events to find out what we need to do beforehand. I'm sure all the venues will be full for the Olympic Games."
Despite some shortcomings, Davis and White remained upbeat.
"We're seasoned competitors and we've been around many places, so if we're stuck in traffic or the food is not that great - these things don't bother us," White told Reuters.
"It doesn't take our focus away from our main goal, which is to skate well. The rest is academic."

Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College women's soccer team will open their home season on Sunday afternoon when they host the visiting Crusaders of Belmont Abbey College.
The Tornados will open the home season with a record of 1-0 after defeating the Erskine College Flying Fleet on Thursday 5-3. Brevard was led by junior Bailey Varley (Concord, N.C.) who recorded her second career hat-trick. Sophomore Allie Hovis (Charlotte, N.C.) and freshman Elena Crowe (Candler, N.C.) each netted a goal of their own as well.
Freshman Crissy Moran (Franklin County, VA.) made the start in goal for the Lady Tornados as she picked up her first win as a collegiate athlete.
The Belmont Abbey Crusaders are 1-0 after a double-overtime thriller with the Catawba College Indians. The Crusaders' junior forward Rebecca Mateo (Cotati, CA) scored the only goal of the match in the 108th minute which gave the Abbey a 1-0 edge.
Game time for the women's home opener is set for 4 p.m. at the BC Soccer Field on-campus at Brevard College and it will follow the men's soccer home opener starting at 2 p.m. against the Mount Olive Trojans.

Barcoding, Inc., a leader in enterprise-wide mobility solutions, today announced that it has completed the acquisition of Miles Technologies, in order to increase its presence in the central region of the United States and expand its radio frequency identification (RFID) capabilities.

2001 GMC Cars
GMC has always seemed a bit on the periphery not only of General Motors but of the entire automobile business. However, as one of GM's brand survivors after the 2009 bailout, GMC has assumed a position of much greater relative importance than before, having the purest identification with GM's important truck and SUV business. That's appropriate in part because GMC began in 1901 as the Rapid Motor Vehicle Company, which developed some of the earliest commercial trucks ever designed. GM bought Rapid in 1909 to form the basis for General Motors Truck Co. Over the next 60 years, GMC Truck became a heavy-vehicle commercial powerhouse, producing millions of military trucks, other heavy fleet trucks and buses. GM got out of the bus business in the Eighties. Thereafter, it focused more on integrating GMC into GM's consumer brand architecture. When pickup-truck and SUV sales boomed in the Nineties, GMC stepped up to help the parent company lead those segments with important models such as the Sierra pickup and Yukon and Envoy SUVs. Most recently, GMC has been introducing vehicles increasingly built around its unique brand positioning -- rugged but somewhat upscale, and aimed in large part at the professional buyer. Acadia became GMC's first unibody vehicle in 2007, and the all-new Terrain crossover bowed in 2009.

It was the Americans who first broke ranks. Soon after David Cameron announced in January that he wanted to have a referendum on Britain's membership of the EU in 2017 (if he is elected prime minister), the US declared its opposition to the UK leaving. In remarkably frank words for a diplomat, a senior American official told reporters:
We have a growing relationship with the EU as an institution, which has an increasing voice in the world, and we want to see a strong British voice in that EU. That is in America's interests. We welcome an outward-looking EU with Britain in it.
Since then, the Japanese have also weighed in on the Americans' side. In evidence submitted to the first round of the government's review of EU powers, Japan warns that as many as 130,000 jobs could be at risk if the UK does leave the union. In a memo to the foreign office, the Japanese government said: Read more

Nous savons à quel point il est important de rester en sécurité en ligne, c'est pourquoi FileHippo utilise une technologie de balayage antivirus fournie par Avira pour aider à garantir la sécurité de l'ensemble des téléchargements sur FileHippo. Le programme que vous êtes sur le point de télécharger sur votre appareil est sûr.
* Everybody is Pro: We want every Wuala user to enjoy the benefits of backup, sync & file versioning. There is no more distinction between "pro" users and everyone else.
* Business Groups: We have introduced a new type of group called a "business group". The main difference is that files in a business group belong to the group, not to an individual user. In particular, you can buy storage for a business group. The storage for a file in the business group is counted against the storage for the group, not the user who uploaded the file.
* Reorganized main menu: We have reorganized the main menu in a more logical way. "New..." actions are now available from a dropdown toolbar button. Also, we have renamed some items, for example "friends" are now called "contacts".
* Discoverable UI: In the past, new users have been overwhelmed by the many options the Wuala UI offers. In order to allow a gradual discovery of Wuala, we only show the items "groups" and "contacts" when the user actually has groups, etc. The sync and backup overviews have been moved to their own windows, accessible through the main menu.
* Sync Indicators: We show annotations showing the progress of a synchronisation in the Wuala client. An element in the tree can be "unknown" (no icon), "to do", "in progress" or "ok". On Windows, we also show this state in the Windows Explorer.

Blind Lizard
Weather: Ahhh… Summer in Minnesota
Frogwing bonds with Blind Lizard, aka Tom the Tailor. One of his own kind?
Of course, everybody knows that last Sunday was Father's Day. Here in Minnesota, we were blessed with sunshine and warmth all day long, and it was a gorgeous day to ride.
That was a good thing, but it almost made me late for Blind Lizard!
Now, The Blind Lizard Motorcycle Club has asked me not to publicize the location of their annual gathering, because the place will not support the kind of huge crowds that show up for First Thursday, and to do so would only ruin it for all of those who have been coming here faithfully, lo these many years. `Nuff said about that.
What I can tell you is that this is a long tradition amongst our motorcycle hippies in and around the Twin Cities, going back to the Seventies. These are not your typical "bikers", in that they tend to prefer the more exotic sporting machinery from Europe and Japan.
Some of the finest vintage machinery in the area shows up here.
Popular culture knows them as Cafe Racers, and I once rode proudly amongst their ranks. This is the kind of thing that lives in the blood like a virus, and I'm sure it will flare up in me again one day. I can only hope that my family obligations have been satisfied by then, because this madness comes on strong!
I first caught the Cafe Racer virus in Southern California, in 1988. That was when I first saw a Ducati, just like the one in the photo below, at European Cycle Specialties in Garden Grove.
I photographed it, and kept that picture in my wallet until I could afford my own Ducati 900 SS some years later.
The original Mike Hailwood Replica… if there can be such a thing.
Take the paint job of the bike above, and apply it to the bike below, and you have a good approximation of Gogo, my 900SS from "Diary of a Cafe Racer".
A modern Cafe Racer; Gogo in a little black dress perhaps?
But the Cafe Racer virus caused me to do Bad Things on public roads. Eventually, that always leads to trouble with The Law. Hello, my name is Gary, and I am an adrenaline junkie.
After that, I bought a KLR and tried to rehabilitate myself. With the help of my little family, I've been mostly successful. But oh, these damned things still sing that siren's song of speed to me, every time I gaze upon them. Some day, I know, I will NEED one again…
Whew! Well, now that I've got that out of my system, let's talk about how the day unfolded.
Early Sunday morning, I found myself wandering around the house in the dark. I was restless, and my mind just wouldn't stop chattering about all manner of things that I can't do anything about right now.
So, I did what I always do when I feel like that; I rode.
Frogwing and I found ourselves in Wisconsin as the sun came up. Nobody else was out yet, and we had the roads to ourselves. County Road This led to Rustic Road That, pavement to dirt to gravel and back.
We put in many miles before looping around to Hudson for refreshments.
At a place called Pudge's, I met a fellow named Russ, and his friend John Weaver. John is a radio newscaster for Minnesota Public Radio. Russ wasn't riding on Sunday, but John most definitely was. He had a second-hand Honda CBR 600, and he looked like he knew what to do with it.
We left Pudge's together, and rode over to his house to ask his wife's permission (ack!) for him to accompany me to Blind Lizard. When that was granted, we joined the high-speed traffic stream heading for… oh yeah, never mind. I can't tell you…
By the time we arrived at Blind Lizard, all the T-shirts were sold out, and there was no more anything to eat or drink. It seems that the crowd is already getting too big for them to handle.
At least most of the really cool bikes were still there.
Take the Rickman Metisse in the photo below, for example. I can't tell you much about it, because the owner was just leaving. I didn't even get his name. But the fellow on the left is the aforementioned John Weaver, and the fellow on the right, so stylishly attired in his formal gowns of office, is the Dictator for Life of the Twin Cities Norton Owners Club, otherwise known as Greg Meyer. This is a Fairly Dangerous Man with a wrench, and best not left alone with your daughter.
Rickman Metisse Cafe Racer… Wow!
My friend, known around here as "Buster Brown" showed up, as expected.
However, this time it was extraordinary because he had crashed his dirtbike on Saturday, which knocked him out cold for about five minutes and resulted in many contusions, abrasions, and a lacerated kidney.
Apparently, they kept him in hospital all night Saturday, and he showed up at Blind Lizard on Sunday wearing a morphine halo, accompanied by his long-suffering lady, Shelly.
Tres formidable, my friend.
The sounds of exotic engines firing up signalled the end of Blind Lizard for another year. Saying goodbye to all my friends, old and new, I mounted Frogwing and we thumped on out of there.
When traffic backed up at the entrance to… the main road out, Frogwing and I did our signature Off-Road On-Ramp maneuver, and left them all behind with a roostertail of municipal dirt and grass.
Consider it our salute to the Blind Lizard, and all his desciples. See you again next year.

Senior, Chezney McLunkin made a three-point basket at the 16:15 mark of the second half finishing the game with seven total points.
Wingate ran past the Tornados reaching a game high 29 point difference with 2:23 left in the game. Brevard tried to close the gap with a layup from Lauren Ward at the buzzer.
Kayla Harris led the Wingate Bulldogs to the win with 18 total points while contributing eight defensive rebounds.

#6 on the list you speak of to calibrate the home button is false. All that does is manually kill the app. You cant calibrate the home button. Its just an electrical switch that that creates an open in the circuit. Its either open or closed and thats it. But dont get me wrong, iphones have been known to have home button issues. And especially the iphone 4. I replace them all the time.
Good stuff Anthony, learned a few things myself.
i knew about all of those features but i do agree i dont think the home button trick actually works i have tried it before and didnt notice any difference.
Great article. Never knew about the banner dismissal and home button calibration. I thought my
Home button was getting worn out after 2 years but it's working better now.
I know just about all in that list except for the Home button reset which I needed to do. Thanks for that.
I think its better now.

Weekly Economic Update: December 10-14, 2012
The Fed expanded its QE3 program and set levels of less than 6.5% unemployment or more than 2.5% inflation for ending its exceptionally accommodative policies. Industrial production increased 1.1% in November. The U.S. trade deficit widened 4.7% in October to $42.2 billion. The topline CPI fell 0.3% while the core CPI rose 0.1%. The topline PPI dropped 0.8% while the core PPI rose 0.1%. Business inventories rose 0.4% in October. The U.S. Treasury reported a $172.1 billion deficit in November. Initial jobless cliams dropped 32,000 to 343,000 for the week ended 12/8.
• The Fed held constant its target range of 0.0%-0.25% for the federal funds rate and expanded its quantitative easing program (QE3) to include additional $45 billion/month longer-term Treasury security purchases on top of its current $40 billion/month MBS purchases initiated in September of this year. Rather than continue to state an end date until which the FOMC plans to hold rates exceptionally low, the committee announced that it will not raise rates so long as the unemployment rate remains above 6.5%, inflation expectations 1-2 years out remain under 2.5%, and longer-term inflation expectations remain "well anchored."
• Industrial production increased by a larger-than-expected 1.1% in November. This follows a 0.7% decline in November.
• The U.S. trade deficit widened $1.9 billion (4.7%) to $42.2 billion in October.
• The consumer price index declined 0.3% in November while the core CPI rose 0.1%.

• Business inventories increased 0.4% in October.
• The U.S. Treasury reported a $172.1 billion deficit in November.
• Initial jobless claims unexpectedly dropped 32,000 to a level of 343,000 for the week ended December 8th.

Renal failure refers to temporary or permanent damage to the kidneys that results in loss of normal kidney function. There are two different types of renal failure - acute and chronic. Acute renal failure has an abrupt onset and is potentially reversible. Chronic failure progresses slowly over at least three months and can lead to permanent renal failure. The causes, symptoms, treatments, and outcomes of acute and chronic are different.
Conditions that may lead to acute or chronic renal failure may include, but are not limited to, the following:
The symptoms for acute and chronic renal failure may be different. The following are the most common symptoms of acute and chronic renal failure. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
(Symptoms of acute renal failure depend largely on the underlying cause.)
The symptoms of acute and chronic renal failure may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
In addition to a physical examination and complete medical history, your child's physician may order the following diagnostic tests:
Specific treatment for renal failure will be determined by your child's physician based on:
Treatment of acute renal failure depends on the underlying cause. Treatment may include:
In some cases, children may develop severe electrolyte disturbances and toxic levels of certain waste products normally eliminated by the kidneys. Children may also develop fluid overload. Dialysis may be indicated in these cases.
Treatment of chronic renal failure depends on the degree of kidney function that remains. Treatment may include:
Most children with renal failure are followed by a pediatrician and a nephrologist (a physician who specializes in disorders or diseases of the kidneys).

In a major blow to trial courts up and down the state, California's judiciary has frozen 23 pending courthouse construction projects.
The delay comes as nearly $600 million may shift away from the projects to cover the leasing costs for the new, privately built Long Beach courthouse downtown.
Due to the unexpected expense, funding for the 23 pending projects will be dramatically reduced, according to Teresa Ruano, a spokeswoman with the Administrative Office of the Courts. Each of the 23 projects will be re-evaluated on Dec. 13 by a committee, and up to 15 may be cut, Ruano said.
"The (judicial) branch has a responsibility to move forward with only the projects that we can afford," Appellate Court Justice Brad Hill wrote Monday in an email to his fellow court officials obtained by the Press-Telegram this week.
Hill heads the facilities group overseeing courthouse construction.
"Ultimately, the Judicial Council will need to decide which projects must be indefinitely delayed to accommodate funding the new courthouse in Long Beach out of SB 1407 funds," Hill said.
Senate Bill 1407, signed into law in 2008, designated judicial branch revenues to finance up to $5 billion in courthouse construction bonds. New court fees, penalties and assessments were supposed to be used to pay off those bonds.
But nearly $1.5 billion from those courthouse construction fees have been borrowed, transferred to the state's general fund or redirected to court operations.
The state's general fund was expected to cover the Long Beach courthouse leasing costs, but now SB 1407 funds may get stuck with that expense, too.
Rather than the state building a courthouse, the $490 million Long Beach construction project is being paid for by a private group of architects, builders, financiers and facility managers. Once it is completed next fall, the state will lease it at a cost of about $50 million per year.
"We have been working for months advocating that this project be paid for by the general fund and not transferred to the 1407 program," Hill wrote.
But this week he determined that wasn't going to happen.
He said the state's Court Facilities Working Group will meet Dec. 13 in San Francisco to decide which of California's other courthouse construction projects must get slashed.
Three of those projects are in Los Angeles County, including Eastlake Juvenile Courthouse, Los Angeles Mental Health Courthouse and Southeast Los Angeles Courthouse.
This news follows the shelving of seven courthouse projects, including Glendale Courthouse and Santa Clarita Courthouse, on Oct. 26. The 23 remaining projects were given the green light, at that time, and are currently in various stages of planning, from site acquisition to design.
The most costly of the projects that could be shelved is a new $620 million 71-courtroom facility in downtown San Diego.
State and local officials have lauded the concept of a public-private partnership as an innovative, cost-effective way to build the new Gov. George Deukmejian Courthouse at Magnolia Avenue and Broadway in Long Beach, but the concept may not have been the best approach, according to a recent study.
The Legislative Analyst's Office, which generated the report in November, concluded that the state Administrative Office of the Courts did not use clear processes and appeared "to have selected projects not well suited for" a public-private partnership.
The report also stated that studies comparing the costs of projects under different options "were based on several assumptions that are subject to significant uncertainty and interpretation, and tended to favor" public-private partnerships.
In Long Beach's case, the state's Administrative Office of the Courts entered into a 35-year pact with the Long Beach Judicial Partners team to build and maintain the courthouse.
Once the project is complete in 2013, the state will start making payments based on the success of the building's operation and maintenance. The state owns the land and the building throughout the contract's 35-year term and will continue to retain title at the end of the contract.
The project replaces the more than 50-year-old downtown courthouse at 415 W. Ocean Blvd., considered by the state to be one of the worst courthouses in California in terms of security, overcrowding and physical condition.
When completed, the low-rise, L-shaped building designed by AECOM will house 31 civil and criminal courtrooms. The court building will occupy roughly 80 percent of the overall space, which totals 531,000 square feet.
Also, the parking structure across Broadway from the new building is being renovated and expanded to more than 1,000 spaces.

Wall Street Journal Pushes Myth That Income Tax Increase On Wealthy Harms Small Businesses
The Wall Street Journal pushed the misleading claim that small businesses will be harmed by slightly increasing the top tax rates on the wealthy. In fact, only about 3 percent of small businesses will pay more in taxes under President Obama's plan to let the Bush-era tax cuts expire for household incomes above $250,000.
A Journal article claimed [1] that "[i]f ideas proposed by the White House take hold -- a long shot -- rates for big companies likely would fall next year while those paid by many small-business owners through the individual tax system would rise." One of the president's key positions [2] in deficit talks with Republicans is to raise revenue by not extending the Bush tax cuts on incomes over $250,000. Conservatives have long [3] claimed [4] that this policy would significantly [5] impact [6] small businesses, and Thursday's Journal repeated this claim:
These businesses account for about half of U.S. business income and more than one-third of private-sector employment, by some estimates. That growth has fueled tension between companies that continue to pay the corporate tax and smaller concerns that pay their taxes through their owners' individual income-tax returns.
But experts say that this tax increase will only affect a tiny portion of small businesses. The congressional Joint Committee on Taxation explained [7] in a June memorandum that only "3.5 percent of all taxpayers with net positive business income" will face higher marginal rates. In July 2010, the non-partisan Tax Policy Center estimated [8] that only 2.5 percent of these small businesses would face the higher tax rates.
Experts also say that many of the businesses that earn enough income to be impacted by higher marginal tax rates are not traditional small businesses. Former George W. Bush economist Alan Viard told [9] The Washington Post: "How can it be that 3 percent of owners are accounting for 50 percent of small business income? Those firms they're owning can't be all that small." The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities explained [10] that the definition of "small business" used when discussing business income includes "concerns like large corporate law practices, accounting firms, and wealthy people who invest in financial and real estate partnerships." TaxVox editor Howard Gleckman elaborated [11] in May 2011 on the problem with claiming these tax increases would harm small businesses:
[T]here is an awful lot we don't know. For example, we don't know how many are real businesses and how many represent a bit of side income for people otherwise employed at regular jobs (imagine, for instance, a tax economist who picks up a few bucks reviewing smartphones on the Web). At the same time we don't know much at all about those hedge funds, law firms, and real estate partnerships that likely account for a large share of the total business income reported on individual returns.

You burn the ISO image to disk. Its a little hard to give detailed instructions because they would need to be program specific, but in Nero I use the "Burn Image to Disk" option. Theres not much more to it than that.
You can probably find suitable instructions for doing this in your CD/DVD burning software by looking at the documentation or searching the Web.
If you are having problems booting you may want to check the MD5 hash of your downloaded image to make sure it matches the one at the download site, and also make sure your BIOS settings are configured to boot from the DVD drive before the hard drive.

text: Apparently the iggles owner will make a push for the SB if it goes off without a hitch in NY. Dan Graziano of ESPN seems to think this is a horrible idea. http://espn.go.com/blog/nfceast/post/_/id/49829/jeffrey-lurie-will-push-for-philly-super-bowl Graziano goes on to gripe about the potential of bad weather and states "Having the game in New Jersey next year is a monumental mistake, and the NFL will be lucky if it goes off without a hitch." Personally, I love the idea of outdoor games and I think Graziano sounds like a ninny. Maybe he should stick to watching indoor soccer if he is so worried about an outdoor football game. People still talk about the Ice Bowl and I love watching games where teams have to tough out the elements and adapt to the situation. Nothing could get better than a winter championship game IMO.

Hanover, N.H.-- For the second time this season, the University of Pennsylvania volleyball team rebounded, after dropping the first set, to take a 3-1 victory tonight over Dartmouth (19-25, 25-20, 25-14, 25-13). With their 15th win in a row over the Big Green, the Red and Blue sport a perfect 4-0 record in the second half of Ivy play. The triumph inside Leede Arena is also the fifth consecutive win for Penn.
Despite taking the first point with a kill by sophomore Jasmine DeSilva and a three point advantage at 10-7 in the opening set, the Quakers couldn't maintain the lead as Dartmouth went on a ten point run. The deficit was too much for the Red and Blue, who dropped the first set 19-25.
Again, Penn would take the first point of the set, this time from a kill by senior captain Kristen Etterbeek. The Quakers continued to trail the Big Green in the second set, until a kill from senior captain Susan Stuecheli evened it out at 12. Two more kills, this time from sophomore Alexis Genske, forced Dartmouth to call time, as the Red and Blue lead, 14-12. The Big Green managed to get the ball back with a kill to make it 15-13 but lost it as the Penn offense sprang into action with kills from Stuecheli, Etterbeek, and then Genske, to push the lead to 18-13. The Quakers maintained their pace and evened the score to one apiece with a 25-20 second-set win.
After a ten-minute intermission, the Red and Blue kept up their energy and took an early 5-1 lead. The tone for the next two sets were put in place as Penn went on to take set three, 25-14, and then set four, 25-13.
Two Quakers finished with a double-double: Genske (13 kills, 12 digs) and Etterbeek (13 kills, 10 digs). Stuecheli and fellow senior captain Dani Shepherd joined the double-digit party with 11 kills and 28 digs, respectively. Stuecheli also finished the evening with four solo blocks, as the team pulled out the stops with 11. Setting the pace for the offense was sophomores Alex Caldwell (26 assists) and Ronnie Bither (25 assists).
The Red and Blue, now 13-9 overall and 7-4 Ivy, return to action tomorrow when they travel to Harvard for the last road match of the season. First serve is set for 5 p.m. at the Malkin Athletic Center.

The Sony PlayStation 4 will hit shelves this year – Holiday 2013 – but the look of the device is still firmly under wraps, with no hardware being revealed at its launch event in New York beyond the new DualShock 4 controller and a stereo camera.
Sony PS4 launch – hardware and specs
However, the PS4 isn't a total mystery – Sony was plenty forthcoming with features and specs for its next-gen gaming console. The PlayStation 4 will pack in an X86 processor with eight CPU cores, an "enhanced PC GPU" and 8GB GDDR5 RAM.
What does that mean for gamers? Sony claims an "exponential leap over its predecessors" in terms of processing power, with the PS4 able to suspend and resume gameplay simply by hitting the power button; the console will boot up immediately when you switch it on and restore your game state. The PlayStation 4 will also be able to upload and download games in the background – even when the power button's off – while you'll be able to play downloaded games as soon as you purchase them, as the game files are downloading.
The PlayStation 4 will also feature always on video compression and decompression – letting you seamlessly upload gameplay recordings. The idea, according to Sony, is to make sharing videos of gameplay as ubiquitous as screenshots are now. You'll also be able to share live streams of ongoing games – more on that later.
Sony PS4 launch – DualShock 4 controller
The one piece of PS4 hardware that Sony was willing to share was the DualShock 4 controller. Closely resembling the layout of the current PS3 controller, the DualShock 4 adds enhanced rumble capabilities, a Share button and touch pad along with a headphone jack and light bar. The latter lets the PS4's stereo camera track and identify the controller in 3D – the console will also play nice with existing PlayStation Move controllers.
Sony PS4 launch – Sharing is caring
The DualShock 4 controller's Share button is central to Sony's bid to position the PS4 as a social gaming machine. Your PlayStation 4 profile will be tied to your real-world identity – Sony's announced Facebook and UStream integration for the console – with a tap of the Share button letting you broadcast your games in real-time to your friends. They'll be able to view your game "over your shoulder" – doubtless to offer friendly advice and not to belittle your abilities.
If you're finding a particular bit of the game challenging, you'll be able to pass control onto a friend. Other possibilities include your friends intervening in your games, manipulating events rather like a Dungeons & Dragons games master by adding new items and changing the layout of a level.
The PS4 will tailor itself to your tastes – as well as suggesting titles based on your existing library of games, it'll preload new games that it thinks you'll enjoy to your console.
Sony PS4 launch – PlayStation Cloud
Sony's partnership with cloud streaming service Gaikai has borne fruit in the PlayStation Store – their PlayStation Cloud tech will be used to let you instantly stream game demos for free, before you download the full title. It's also set to encompass "past, present and future games." Although the console hardware won't feature backwards compatibility with past generations of PlayStation, the PS4 will be able to stream PS One, PS2 and PS3 titles – the entire PlayStation back catalogue, eventually.
Sony PS4 launch – PS Vita Remote Play
As widely anticipated, the PS4 will be compatible with the PS Vita handheld console – you'll be able to stream games direct to your PS Vita, as demoed above using cartoony adventure Knack. Take that, Wii U! Sony has also promised integrated phone and tablet apps – with one launch title, DriveClub, letting you create and post racing challenges to players worldwide using your mobile device, before taking part in them with your own racing club.
Sony PS4 launch – games
Although the look of the PS4 itself remains a mystery, Sony revealed plenty of new titles in the works – including the aforementioned DriveClub, Ubisoft's hotly-anticipated cyberpunk thriller Watch Dogs, Infamous: Second Son, new Capcom swords n' sorcery property Deep Down, gorgeous-looking FPS KillZone: Shadowfall and open-world indie puzzler The Witness. Square Enix, meanwhile, has announced that a new Final Fantasy title is in the works, with a full reveal coming at E3.
Sony PS4 launch – verdict
Although Sony has played its cards close to its chest regarding the look of the PS4, that's really the least important aspect of the console (as the PS3 Super Slim has ably demonstrated). At first glance, the PS4 looks to be a confident riposte to the Nintendo Wii U, with an array of social gaming features that look set to – potentially – enthrall and irritate in equal measure. Microsoft, the ball's in your court – roll on the Xbox 720.

spiraling out of control
January 23rd 2007
The weekend in Conakry was very calm.
Only occasional gunfire was heard.
Guinea's other bigger cities though experienced a lot of uproar.
The prefect of Pita had to flee the city. In Mamou, demonstraters overrun a police barricade and freed prisoners from jail that were arrested at a demonstration earlier the same day. In Labé, the house of a politician was demolished by an angry mob after he had given a TV speech, calling people to support the president.
N'Zerekoué in the forest region also saw violent clashes between police and demonstraters.
Monday was the big turning point here in Conakry:
The unions had called for a big march to the union headquarters in downtown Conakry. Some sources say it was hundreds of thousands, others claim it was just around one hundred thousand people. Fact was, that police and military forces were overwhelmed by an enormous crowd that swept althrough the suburbs and -constantly growing stronger, swept into the city. Most police just stood by doing nothing. At the roundabout at Hamdalai, police tryed to stop them and fired into the crowd but it was too many people and they were too angry to stop. The roadblock was overrun and the demonstraters continued their way downtown. At the bridge of No.8th they were stopped by strong military presence. The soldiers fired into the mob, wounding and killing many.
The son of president Conté who commands a special force unit called "rangers" that were trained in China stormed into the union headquarters and ordered his men to destroy the place. When they refused, Conté reportedly smacked his soldiers around and then ordered them to arrest all 4 union leaders which they did.
Evening came and with it reports from two hospitals totaling in 17 dead bodies. No way to tell how many really were killed, how many bodies never even made it to the hospitals.
New reports suggest that a special forces unit from Guinea Bissao under direct command of drunk and psychotic president son Ousmane Conté is responsible for the massacre at the bridge of Nov. 8th.
Newest reports say that all 4 union leaders have been set free last night. All have been more or less seriously wounded and submitted to torture. Dr. Fofana has supposedly lost an eye, everybody has been viciously beaten.
There is no telling where the situation will go from here.

I've been very critical of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Most recently, I criticized the Paris-based bureaucracy for making the rather remarkable assertion that a value-added tax would boost growth and employment.
But that's just the tip of the iceberg.
- The OECD has allied itself with the so-called Occupy movement to push for bigger government and higher taxes.
- The OECD, in an effort to promote redistributionism, has concocted absurdly misleading statistics claiming that there is more poverty in the US than in Greece, Hungary, Portugal, or Turkey.
- The OECD is pushing a "Multilateral Convention" that is designed to become something akin to a World Tax Organization, with the power to persecute nations with free-market tax policy.
- The OECD supports Obama's class-warfare agenda, publishing documents endorsing "higher marginal tax rates" so that the so-called rich "contribute their fair share."
Now the bureaucrats have concocted another scheme to increase the size and scape of government. The OECD just published a study on "Addressing Base Erosion and Profit Shifting" that seemingly is designed to lay the groundwork for a radical rewrite of business taxation.
In a new Tax & Budget Bulletin for Cato, I outline some of my concerns with this new "BEPS" initiative.
…the BEPS report…calls for dramatic changes in corporate tax policy based on the presumption that governments are not seizing enough revenue from multinational companies. The OECD essentially argues that it is illegitimate for businesses to shift economic activity to jurisdictions that have more favorable tax laws. …The core accusation in the OECD report is that firms systematically—but legally—reduce their tax burdens by taking advantage of differences in national tax policies.
Ironically, the OECD admits in the report that revenues have been trending upwards.
…the report acknowledges that "… revenues from corporate income taxes as a share of gross domestic product have increased over time. …Other than offering anecdotes, the OECD provides no evidence that a revenue problem exists. In this sense, the BEPS report is very similar to the OECD's 1998 "Harmful Tax Competition" report, which asserted that so-called tax havens were causing damage but did not offer any hard evidence of any actual damage.
To elaborate, the BEPS scheme should be considered Part II of the OECD's anti-tax competition project. Part I was the attack on so-called tax havens, which began back in the mid- to late-1990s.

Mormon Bishop scares off attacker with Samurai sword
(NEWSER) – When Kent Hendrix woke up yesterday to his teenage son telling him someone was being attacked in front of their house, he did what any self-respecting Mormon bishop/martial arts instructor/fourth-degree black belt holder/weapons collector would do: He grabbed his Samurai sword, ran outside, drew the sword on the attacker, and then ran after the man—barefoot. Suspect Grant Eggersten got away, but Hendrix picked up a ChapStick he dropped and memorized his license plate. "I yelled at him, 'I've got your DNA and I've got your license plate: You are so done,'" Hendrix recalls.

FORT ATKINSON, WI -- Elliot Maras has left his position as editor of Automatic Merchandiser after covering the vending industry for more than 20 years, the publication reported.
Emily Refermat, who has been managing editor of the vending and office coffee service trade magazine for the past six years, succeeds Maras as editor.
Maras is a graduate of NAMA's Development Program at Michigan State University, former board member of the International Foodservice Editorial Council and recipient of the Office Refreshment Development Foundation's Award for Journalism.
Maras has taken on a new role with AM parent company Cygnus Business Media as editor of a new trade property, Professional Tool & Equipment News.
In June, Monique Terrazas rejoined Automatic Merchandiser as publisher, replacing Gary Thom, who has exited the magazine. Cygnus also announced that Wade Vonasek has joined AM as associate editor and digital project manager.
The magazine was founded as American Automatic Merchandiser in 1958 by bottling industry veterans Ben Ginsberg and Mike Michael.
Based here, Cygnus Business Media was created through a series of acquisitions, including Johnson Hill Press and PTN Publishing. The B2B media giant filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2009 and quickly emerged from the reorganization, which shed $120 million in debt, down from a reported $180 million to $60 million.

About the shoot
Although I enjoy working with all of my clients, there are a few shoots that are especially memorable. This particular job with TECHNIK was one such shoot. I know it's going to be a good day when Samir calls and tells me that he has another car ready. With the 330ii, it was no different. No restrictions on locations, no complaints about early call times (4am), and a beautiful car - what's not to love? For this shoot, we shot around the industrial district of downtown Los Angeles and weaved our way up the 5 FWY towards the Antelope Valley. A word of caution for all the rogue photographers out there looking to shoot without a permit: be responsible, and most of all be safe. I am as guilty as anyone, and as a resident of downtown LA, I know how increasingly difficult it is to film without a permit. Although I do not endorse stealing locations, if you do, please be respectful to the businesses, residents, and authorities that you may come across. Believe it or not, there are people out there who find the sound of a Carrera GT exhaust annoying (more so at early morning hours). Photographers: we're all in this together and each of our actions will have an impact, however indirect it may be, on other photographers.
I want to take this opportunity to thank all the members and visitors to this site for the support I've received over the years. I have fond memories from the early days when I used to post frequently and get feedback about my photographs. That feedback and support had a great impact on where I am today and I will always be thankful for that. I also want to thank Tim and Mark for not only giving me the opportunity to offer these wallpapers, but also providing an amazing resource for current and prospective e46 and e90 drivers in the form of e46fantics.com and e90fanatics.com, respectively.?
Additionally, for those that order posters through this site, I'll be offering a free 8.5" x 11" signed print (limit 50). A poll has been created and it's up to the members of this site to decide which image will image from the set will be the free print. The poll will end on November 1st. At that time, I will ship out all orders. If you prefer not to have the free print, I will ship out the orders as they come in (twice weekly). At checkout, please be sure to enter this coupon code in the comments field: E46FANATICS.?
To order a poster, please visit: http://ruji.net/store/
To cast your vote on the free image image, vote HERE - This offer is good for the first 50 orders.
Can you give us the general rundown on RUJI?
Sure - In a nutshell, we offer photographic services. RUJI is a small company, consisting of one photographer and one studio manager. Located in the Downtown Los Angeles arts district in a 1900 sq. foot studio, we specialize in automotive and product photography. Here are couple of shots from recent shoots - keep an eye out for updates soon! Thanks again! - Wynn
Recent work by RUJI
Why did Technik Engineering build this project car?
Due to the lack of a 4-door E46 M3, TE decided to modify an existing E46 330i sedan using factory BMW M3 coupe body parts. By taking the exact dimensions of the E46 M3 coupe, TE was able to duplicate the M3's fenders out of sheetmetal and contour them to the existing front fenders and rear quarter panels of the E46 sedan, thus allowing the CSL front and M3 rear bumpers to line up perfectly without any modification. Next, the M3's power bulge was duplicated on the facelifted sedan's existing hood, while the bootlid was customized with a CSL-style lip. The end result reflects a striking example of what a factory-commissioned E46 M3 sedan could have looked like if BMW had decided to produce one.
Why type of performance upgrades were added to this project car?
Once the bodywork was completed, the existing powerplant and powertrain needed to live up to the aggressive look of the new exterior. The stock powerplant produces roughly 195WHP/195WTQ (power at the wheels), which is good for a 0-60 time of about 6 seconds when equipped with a manual 6-speed transmission. To increase performance, TE fitted their intercooled Stage 3 centrifugal supercharger system, good for about 300WHP/260WTQ at 9.5psi of boost pressure. This equates to roughly 360HP at the flywheel. Next up, the standard 330 rear subframe was removed and swapped out with that of the E46 M3, including new axles, driveshaft, carrier and 3.62 limited slip differential. The result is a blistering 0-60 time of just under 5 seconds and low 13-sec quarter mile.
What type of finishing touches were added to complete the project car?
Given the new found performance of this 330 project car, the factory brakes were removed and replaced with Brembo 15" 4-piston cross drilled units and the factory wheels were replaced with a set of BBS LM 19X8.5 and 19X10, wrapped with Dunlop SP9000 245/35/ZR19 and 285/30/ZR19 tires. Thanks to the widened fender arches, the wider wheel and tire setup does not present a fitment issue. A Supersprint E46 M3 race exhaust system was installed to help the supercharged engine breathe more efficiently, while the factory suspension was replaced with a KW Variant 3 coilover system, featuring complete adjustability of ride height, shock dampening and shock rebound.

Offering Community Building and Social Gathering during the Lenten Season, St. Joseph's Society will once again host Lenten Fish Fry(s) each Friday of Lent including Feb 15 and 22; March 1, 8, 15 and 22. Lenten Fish Fry Dinner will be served from 5-7:30 PM with a menu of fried American catfish, French fries, cole slaw, beans & drink, all offered by donation. Join the Society every Friday evening throughout Lent for an opportunity for the entire community of Fredericksburg to join in a constructive community outreach. The event is not viewed as a fundraiser but as an effort to bring together those of ALL faiths to meet for dialogue, discussion, and dining during the Lenten Season. For those who wish to attend, Stations of the Cross Devotion will occur on Fridays at 6pm in the Marien Kirche with plenty of opportunity to attend the meal following the devotion. This is our 4th year for this event and the support and attendance has been outstanding from the community over the past 3 years. Meals to go will be available, but there is no drive thru as we are hoping that people will wish to stay, meet new people, visit with old friends, and socialize during the event.

Ok March Mommies--opinion on shaving-how many are going to be well groomed down there and how many are just going BUSH WILD?
I feel like I do not really care and my Dad (I KNOW THIS IS GROSS) he wants to come in and I feel really strange about that and feel too bad to say no as we are allowed up to 5 people in the room (amazing maternity and delivery ward) so I feel bad saying NO but at the same time I am a bit weirded out to have my dad looking on and think I would feel better obscuring all with a bit of bush. Luckily my BF's father is NOT coming in and has expressed no desire. I am trying to get my mother to displace my father but he is really excited as this is his first grandson so I feel bad.
So BUSH OR NO BUSH LADIES?
