The issue is not with the mac. The issue is with iTouch iPod. It will no longer access internet through that wireless network since the modem was replaced.
The Modem is connected to Airport Express. Airport Express is sending wireless connection to the MAC, but the iTouch will not connect to that wireless network for internet access like it did before the modem was replaced. iTouch message: "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet".
Yet, the iTouch is using airport express to run iTunes remotly.

Sorry about that, my error in misreading your question I got the Mac reversed with the iPod Touch in regards XXXXX XXXXX connecting to the Internet. Not a problem though I can help.
Here is what I need to know:
• Click on the
icon on your iPod Touch
• Under Wi-Fi do you see the name of your Airport Wireless network listed?
- Or does it say
Not Connected

Thank You, yes.
The wireless network is listed on the iPod Touch and I see the connection icon. I Can also operate iTunes on the MAc using the iPod Touch as a remote and I believe the Airport Express is the vehicle for that connection from iPod touch to the Mac?
replied 8 years ago.
Appreciate your patience.
In regards XXXXX XXXXX first part of your question the answer is yes.
You can use your iPod Touch as a remote for iTunes.
Here is the link for the step-by-step process youcan use for your iPod Touch
in order to set up the Remote feature for using the device with iTunes.
Remote for iPod Touch and iPhone
If you have an Airport Express Network setup on your Mac and it is is seen as the primary connection for your Mac, then that is the vehicle for connection for both you iPod Touch and your Mac. I state this only because the Airport Express* is the Wi-Fi network you are using to access the Internet on your Mac. This should also impact your iPod Touch as well.
* (
The only exception to this is, if you have a wireless router you are also using besides the Airport Express
By the way since having this connectivity issue to the internet with your iPod Touch, have you attempted to reset you iPod Touch to see if this would help in allowing you to connect via Safari on the iPod? (
Just verifying if this is one of the steps you have tried while troubleshooting this issue)
I also wanted to provide you this Apple article, that may be of some assistance
to you in regards XXXXX XXXXX a wireless network, but still unable to surf the web on your iPod Touch. I would have been glad to go step by step, but Apple provides 6 simple troubleshooting scenarios and so they have already taken care of that part.
iPod Touch/iPhone Wi-Fi
(Troubleshooting tips)
Let me know if any of these steps help.
I will be watching for your update. Thanks!

I will try these things in about 9 hours
replied 8 years ago.
That is quite a lengthy time to troubleshoot such a small device! (lol)
Not a problem at all. When you need more assistance or if what information I have provided already, does help, please feel free to just reply back to this post anytime.
Thank you again, for trusting my ability to assist you and for being willing to try some of these processes out to eventually start accesses your iPod Touch.

None of these things are related to or resolve the issue. I am going to pursue another route through ComCast.
replied 8 years ago.
Thanks for your reply.
However, I have to ask, if you are able to use Airtunes with your iPod Touch but are unable to connect to the Internet via the Safari on your iPod, but can connect with your Mac (via Airport Express network), I need more clarity from you.
Which leads to inquire as to why you believe the information I have provided you is not related to the questions you asked?
I am here to help, but I am only as effective in assisting you per the genuine scope of your question.
The previous post was developed to answer your most recent question:
The wireless network is listed on the iPod Touch and I see the connection icon. I Can also operate iTunes on the MAc using the iPod Touch as a remote and I believe the Airport Express is the vehicle for that connection from iPod touch to the Mac?
When you mentioned you were going to try the steps in 9 hours, I was under the impression, what I provided you from my last post yesterday, was agreeable and you were going to attempt those steps and then reply back to me.
If I missed something, please let me know. I would be glad to continue assisting you,
but I must admit, I took some time carefully reading your most recent question, and took more time to carefully provide solid steps to help you resolve the issue. If possible, I like to complete what I started with you if you so desire.
I am a Comcast Business Class customer myself and I know their network system and iPod Touch/
products well, so if you want to keep working at this, again, just reply back to this post.

I went through all that you provided. It did not resolve. I called comcast and they walked me through it and resolved the issue which involved the modem ID
replied 8 years ago.
I am glad your issue has been resolved and thank you for taking the time to reply back to my previous post.
As I now understand, from what you just provided, the iPod Touch 2g you have was not connecting to the Internet because Comcast did not recognize Modem ID for your new router they replaced for you.(I also wondering if the iPod Touch's MAC address not being seen may have been an issue? -just curious)
Again, I appreciate that bit of information you provided, as it will be very helpful for me to assist other Comcast customers who are Mac user, that may experience this same issue as you in future cases.

I just read a couple of articles / blogs on the cyber fraud case where Patco Construction is suing their bank, Ocean Bank for failing to provide appropriate security controls to protect their online account. It appears that Ocean bank customers were the target of advanced malware attacks that hijacked their online credentials and at the end of the day, more than $500,000 was stolen from Patco's account. As well described in the attached links, it would appear that the bank had less than adequate security measures to protect against today's online threats and that they even fell short of the 2005 FFIEC guidelines; but, what does the court say?
According to David Navetta, an attorney who specializes in IT security and privacy…"since PATCO agreed to the bank's security methods when it signed the contract, the court suggests then that PATCO considered the bank's methods to be reasonable." WOW – I don't get it. The customer is responsible to make sure the bank has proper security controls in place? Sure, we all have a certain level of responsibility to make sure understand the vendor offering and capabilities when we purchase goods and services… but come on! How can the general public ever be educated and equipped to test if their bank is truly providing the level of controls needed at this level? Is that not the job of the bank examiner? Is it not the role of the regulatory bodies to make sure that SECURITY EXPERTS assess the current fraud threats and corresponding regulatory guidelines are then put in place? There is no way the average customer whether they be a reatil client, a small business, or a not-for-profit etc could ever be effective at making that kind of judgment call on their own and nor should they.
This just underscores how critical it is for the FFIEC to push out new guidance to address today's cyber threat reality. Many banks today even fall short of addressing threats that have been around for years. Gartner analyst Avivah Litan agrees…"Unfortunately, the 2005 FFIEC guidance referred to examples of relatively crude online theft techniques that were commonplace in 2004 and 2005. The cybercriminal of 2011 has long ago bypassed and surpassed those old techniques."

Tue. November 12, 2013 | Matt Baker | Email
Charles Liggett has spent half of his career trying to help build Nature Coast's football program.
After a decade with the team, including three years as a head coach, Liggett is moving on.
Liggett resigned his coaching position following the Sharks' 4-6 season. He had been considering the move for weeks and informed his players of his decision in a meeting Tuesday morning.
"I feel like after the last three years and unfortunately the way the season went, maybe it's time for me to move on and look into something else," Liggett said.
Liggett, the Sharks' former defensive coordinator, took over NCT in June 2011 hoping to bring stability to a talented but turbulent program as its fourth head coach in four seasons.
His athletic director, Kristin Peeples, praised Liggett for boosting the team's GPA, bringing more discipline to the team and raising the program's overall character.
"He's a person that we hate to see go," Peeples said. "I know people say everyone's replaceable, but he's a hard one to replace because of what he did."
But NCT struggled to break into the upper echelon of the North Suncoast.
The Sharks had a marquee victory in September with a 29-28 comeback win at Pasco this season but lost the next three games to fall out of the playoff picture. NCT's season ended Friday with a 20-14 victory over Ocala Lake Weir.
In three seasons, Liggett compiled a 15-15 record on the field (16-14 including a forfeit win) and no playoff appearances.
Liggett said his entire family was invested in the program, and eventually the strain became too much for them personally.
"This is what we do," Liggett said. "We have to be comfortable. It has to be the perfect scenario."
Liggett plans to stroll the sidelines next fall as an assistant or a head coach somewhere, and he will remain a history teacher at NCT. He said the toughest part of his decision was leaving the players he had worked with for years.
"The kids, they're the brightest spot of the whole thing," Liggett said. "A majority of the kids on the team would run through a brick wall for me, and they have. They've given everything they've got."
Nature Coast is the second Hernando County coaching position to open up since the end of the regular season. Mike Einspahr and Central parted ways last week.
Peeples said the school plans to post the job Wednesday with the hopes of identifying a new coach who can teach on campus by the start of spring football.

Actually, it doesn't matter what business you're in. If you own a business, then your time will be spent solving problems.
Many of those problems will have nothing to do with making money. But, they are necessary to keep a business running smoothly.
Whether, it's dealing with employees, getting the printer or fax fixed, or like today, dealing with a leaking air conditioner that floods the office, you are always solving problems.
The number one aptitude a business owner should have is problem solving. If you can't or won't face and deal with problems head on, then you have no chance of being successful. There will be too many obstacles and if you are timid, they will overcome you.
You need to not only endure the problems, but welcome them and enjoy solving them. That is how you make money.
To quote the Bhagavad Gita, "…happy the warrior To whom comes the joy of battle- comes, as now, Glorious and fair, unsought; opening for him a gateway unto Heaven."

A blood test could soon identify people at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, after Australian scientists identified a series of markers associated with the condition.
The blood-based biological markers identified are associated with the toxic protein amyloid beta, which builds up in the brain years before diagnosis.
CSIRO research scientist Samantha Burnham said the protein was found to reach abnormal levels about 17 years before dementia symptoms, such as memory loss, appear.
''We're buying time with this,'' Dr Burnham said. ''If we can get this early identification, then we can intervene with people at risk.'' Being able to identify the disease in its early stages is critical, as it could allow intervention before irreversible damage occurs.
Bioinformatician Noel Faux from the Florey Institute of Neurosciences and Mental Health said the build-up of the toxic protein was one of the earliest known changes in the brains of Alzheimer's patients.
''A lot of evidence points to this protein being the initial change in the brain,'' Dr Faux said. ''And research has shown there is a problem with the clearance of the protein.''
Seven markers in the blood associated with the protein have been identified by the researchers from CSIRO, the Florey Institute of Neurosciences and Mental Health, Edith Cowan University and the National Ageing Research Institute.
They are now trying to refine the way the blood is processed to make the test quick and affordable. Currently, tests in the US measure about 200 items in the blood, which costs time and money. But with key markers narrowed to seven, researchers are developing a more targeted test.
''We are hoping that within a five to 10-year timeframe we will be able to roll this out as a front-line screening tool,'' Dr Burnham said.
Two other factors - age and cognitive testing - are also used in diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.
Published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry, the researchers worked with 273 volunteers aged over 65. Some had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, while others were healthy but concerned they might be experiencing memory loss.
The volunteers underwent brain scans and neuro-psychological tests as well as providing blood samples and their medical history. Thousands of mathematical models were tested during the process, which took three years.
Volunteers are still sought for the study.

Green Pea-and-Bean Salad with Seeds and Nuts
"Everyone should be eating more beans," chef Dan Barber says. They are miracle workers on a farm because they "fix" the nitrogen levels, which replenishes the soil; they do it by grabbing nitrogen from the atmosphere and storing it in their roots. "Peas and peanuts perform this neat trick as well," Barber adds. Here, he mixes three types of seed and nutty toasted peanut dressing to make a colorful salad with multiple kinds of crunch.
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 8
- Time(Other): Plus overnight soaking
- 1 cup dried navy beans (6 ounces), soaked overnight in water and drained
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1 1/2 pounds fresh English peas, shelled (2 cups)
- 2 tablespoons flaxseeds
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 2 teaspoons yellow mustard seeds
- 1/2 cup unsalted roasted peanuts, chopped
- 1 tablespoon minced shallot
- 1 tablespoon Champagne vinegar
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons peanut oil, preferably toasted
How to make this recipe
In a saucepan, cover the navy beans with 8 cups of water. Bring to a simmer and cook until the beans are tender, about 30 minutes. Season the beans with salt and pepper and let cool in the cooking liquid. Drain the beans.
In a saucepan of salted boiling water, cook the peas until just tender, about 2 minutes. Drain and cool the peas in a bowl of ice water; drain well.
In a small skillet, toast the flaxseeds, sesame and mustard seeds over low heat until golden and starting to pop, about 2 minutes. Scrape the seeds into a large bowl. Add the beans, peas, peanuts, shallot, vinegar, sesame oil and peanut oil and toss to evenly coat. Season with salt and pepper. Let marinate for 10 minutes or overnight before serving.

Jean Kilbourne's "Killing Us Softly"
As Grand Rapids, Michigan yawned good morning at 7:45 am and the sun began blinking hello, I sat in my human sexuality and relationships class, watching one of the best videos I have ever seen in an academic setting. I strongly recommend that each and every one of you watch Jean Kilbourne's "Killing Us Softly 4".
As an advocate for women's rights, I found this video very compelling and inspirational. It describes the advertising business and its push for narrowly defined sexuality, materialism, and the objectification of women.
The funny thing is that I have always been infatuated with the glossy covers of Cosmo, Glamour, and Vogue. There was something so undeniably glamorous and appealing to me about these magazines and the flirty techniques they promoted. I even …

You could even see plainly a Calvinistic chanticleer on one of the church towers!
I never heard that chanticleer was a pattern of fatherly devotion.
Now, by the beard of Nassau, what joke is chanticleer playing us now?
The exciting cause of the professor's outburst was an attempt to get from his class some information about chanticleer.
"You had much better go with us, chanticleer," said the ass.
You might not get the answer you were looking for, but you could not get a foolish answer, if you asked him of chanticleer.
In order to reach to the windows the animals made a tower of their bodies, with Greyskin at the bottom and chanticleer at the top.
And, like chanticleer at the sight of the sun, he flaps his wings and crows.
Bright-eyed Shelley brought in a fluttering lark which burst into the song of Chaucer's chanticleer.
"I will certainly leave your party if you wish me to, Mrs. chanticleer," I said.

I am beginning to bore even myself. But as we already suspected, Henrik Lundqvist will get his 15th straight start in net — and 42nd straight dating back to last season — tonight against the Isles.
Tom Renney said he was basing his decision on a conversation with the goalie after the game last night, and of course, Lundqvist's superior form this season. By that measure, we may next see Steve Valiquette sometime around training camp in September 2008.
Or maybe not. Because at some point, even if Lundqvist shows he can keep playing, Renney said Lundqvist will sit. It won't be tonight, and it might not even Thursday against Pittsburgh. But it may well come when we least expect it.
"At some point in time, though, forget about Hank," Renney said. "Steve Valiquette's got to get some games. He's got to be ready to play because heaven forbid, we might need him."
Asked if Valiquette might need a conditioning assignment in Hartford to keep him sharp, Renney said that was probably avoidable.
In other news:
"Heck, its only two games but it's better than what's happened with the first couple of combinations let's be honest," Renney said. "We're light years ahead of where we were. So cross your fingers and hope it keeps going."

Cook-Air Wood Burning Grill
Meathead loves the Cook-Air Wood Burning Grill. Here is his review: This is the coolest new grill I've seen in a long time. Although it can cook anything, it's unique design makes it the ultimate lean mean steak machine.

Google Places Optimization
What is a NAP? It is a citation. OK what is a citation?
In organic SEO we are used to this word described as a link. It was born from PageRank and Larry Page noticing the value of a scientific paper by the references or citations in other well regarded journals.
A citation in Local search is a local business address typically displayed as so:
City, State, ZIP
310 533 9145
Where can these be found? First of all on every page of your website(s). And then we see them often in review directories such as Yelp, YP, SuperPages. But wherever you control a webproperty is also a good place to list them.
KML and GEO Site MAP
Other factors to consider are an insertion of a KML and GEO Site map. A good builder is this tool here http://www.geositemapgenerator.com/ Just place the .KML and Geo Site map into the root of your site. We do this for our clients as part of their local campaigns.

2013 Las Vegas Q&A: NASCAR Sprint Cup - Carl Edwards Talks About Win
Posted by: newsla on Mar 06, 2013 - 07:17 PM
2013 Las Vegas Q&A: NASCAR Sprint Cup - Carl Edwards Talks About Win
CARL EDWARDS - No. 99 Subway Ford Fusion - WHAT DID IT MEAN TO WIN SO EARLY IN 2013? "For us, it was a great win for a number of reasons. Not winning a race for 70 races is really frustrating. Even though it was a 70-race drought, we did have an awesome 2011 season with nine second-place finishes or something, so it wasn't 70 races of frustration, but 2012 was a long time. It was a full season of pretty lackluster performance for us, so it felt good just to get that turned around and have a real solid day. I believe the ingredients we have right now, the pit stops are fast, Jimmy Fennig's experience, the cars seem to be running really well, the engines are fast. I think all of those things are good for this season. I think we have a lot of great things to look forward to, but a win right off the bat is really, really good for us."
WHAT KIND OF FEEDBACK DID JIMMY AND JACK GIVE YOU WHEN YOU ASKED ABOUT WHAT THEY NEEDED FROM YOU? "Jimmy specifically told me before the season started that he wants me to make sure that I understand the changes they have planned for practice, that I make sure to be there and be available to the engineers after practice, and that I'm actually sitting there engaged with them so we don't miss something. I thought that was pretty cool for him to just lay it out there. He didn't say, 'How did you do it last year?' He said, 'This is exactly what I want. This is how I'm gonna do it,' and I think that leadership and knowing what he wants is something that's gonna pay off a lot."
IT SOUNDS LIKE HE ALMOST HAS A LESSON PLAN. "Yeah, he doesn't present it that way, though, which I think is really interesting. I think it's good. He doesn't come to me and say, 'This is the best way to do it.' He just says, 'This is how I'd like to do it. This is what I want to do. This is how I do it. Can you do that?' And I think it's all been really good. As we run some more of these races, I think, like anything, we'll change things, but I was really, really pleased at Phoenix with how we worked together, how he managed the information exchange throughout the weekend, and how he managed the time, so I think it's gonna be very good."
DID YOU THINK OF GETTING IN THE MIDDLE OF COACH HAITH AND COACH ANDERSON LAST NIGHT? "I was on Eli Gold's show and I didn't get there until after that happened, but I thought it was really cool that we were able to beat them as badly as we did, especially after all that was said and done. I thought it was really cool. I think everybody there was really excited."
CAN YOU EXPLAIN HOW MUCH DIFFERENCE IT MAKES WHEN YOU HAVE A CREW CHIEF AND TEAM THAT PAYS SUCH ATTENTION TO DETAIL? "Without talking too much about the things our guys do to the cars, I'll tell you a story. The first time I sat down with Jimmy Fennig, when Jack told us we were gonna work together next year, it was before the Homestead race last season. Matt Kenseth was the driver of Jimmy's race car at that time. I went into his office at the shop, which is right next to the surface plate where they do the final scaling and everything of the race cars. We talked a little bit about the upcoming season and we talked about each other's families, and then we kind of talked about our way of doing things and looking at racing. And I said, 'Hey, let's go look at the race car.' We walked out there and I started to look around at the race car that he was preparing for Matt Kenseth to go to Homestead and I was like, 'Hey, that's really neat.' And I started to look under the hood a little bit and poke around and he said, 'OK, OK, that's enough.' I'm like, 'What do you mean?' He said, 'Well, we're still racing against you this weekend. This isn't your race car.' I was like, 'Seriously?' He said, 'Yeah, let's go look at something else.' So he's really serious about making sure his cars are the best they can be, that everything on the car is the best it can be and all of the guys on the team are that way. It's been really interesting to see what each individual is working on on the race car."
IT LOOKED LIKE BRAD SHOVED YOU TO THE LEAD ON THE LAST RESTART. DO YOU FEEL THE THIRD-PLACE DRIVER HAS MORE OF AN ADVANTAGE THAN THE SECOND-PLACE GUY, AND COULD THAT HINDER THE LEADER WHENEVER THEY'RE TRYING TO BE THE ONE TO PACE THE FIELD? "Anytime you have restart there's so much chaos and so many things that can happen that you're at the mercy of a lot of circumstances. All I can say is that I'm glad Brad was behind me and not behind Jimmie because I think if Brad would have had that kind of restart behind Jimmie and pushed him out front, then it would have been a lot tougher race for me. Anytime you have a restart it looks really simple, but there are a lot of little games that go on and a lot can happen shifting through the gears. If you just slip the tires for half-a-second, you can lose a lot of acceleration and guys around you can take advantage of that, so I was a little nervous about that restart."
ARE THERE ANY SIMILARITIES OR DIFFERENCES BETWEEN BOB OSBORNE AND JIMMY FENNIG? "Every person is different. I am very, very grateful to Bob for everything that he's done and everything that he still does for our team. We won 18 or 19 races together, the All-Star Race, so he's the man. I guess the biggest thing I appreciate about Bob is that when he wasn't able to crew chief anymore, there was absolutely no ego involved. He stepped aside and Chad Norris came in, and then Bob moved to a different position in the company and right now he works hand-in-hand with each crew chief. He's developing things for the future of the team and he may arguably have a bigger influence on our success than maybe he did even on the pit box some days, so I guess, like I said in the media center after the race, I don't feel like I lost Bob, I feel like I gained Jimmy Fennig and Bob still works on our team, so it's a pretty cool situation for me."
WERE ANY OF THE CARS YOU WRECKED AT DAYTONA RUN AT PHOENIX LAST WEEKEND? "They're different cars, but what happens with the way they build the cars is it just set everyone back trying to repair all of that crash damage and build race cars in that short amount of time. With the new car and the new Ford Fusion there are different parts than we had before, so, really, the guys in the fab shop, they didn't have to sacrifice anything for Phoenix, but they just had to sacrifice a lot of their time, energy and money to keep cars coming to Daytona so that we'd have something competitive."
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS GOING INTO VEGAS? "I know this is probably wrong to admit, but I didn't really have Phoenix marked on the calendar as the one that we were gonna go win the first race. I was looking at Vegas as the race that would be the really good one, so I'm really excited about Vegas. After seeing my pit crew perform at Phoenix, I'm going to Vegas to win this thing this weekend. We tested very well at Charlotte. We'll know tomorrow where we stack up and if it's anything like Charlotte, I think we're gonna be real tough at Vegas. I think we're gonna be good, so I have a real high expectation there. I hope we can meet it."
WHAT ARE YOU HOPING TO ACCOMPLISH IN TOMORROW'S TEST? "Tomorrow's test I'm hoping to do a couple of things. I'm hoping to find a balance of the race car by itself. I think that will be key because qualifying will be so important as we saw at Phoenix. I would also like to run around some other cars and see how the car handles when I'm behind someone and how I can maybe move around and try to make the car work in a passing situation, so that's what I'd like to do at the test. I'm sure Jimmy has a run-by-run plan and it may not include racing with another car out there, but I would like to try that."
CAN YOU BREAK DOWN WHAT IS DIFFERENT AS FAR AS PASSING WITH THIS NEW CAR? "It's a hard one to answer right now. After the Vegas race you are going to have all of the opinions you want on that subject because that's gonna be the first race where we see huge speeds, huge reliance on downforce, and I think that we're really gonna know where we stand after that. Whenever this subject has come up with NASCAR, with the media, with my team, I am 100 percent for taking all of the downforce away from the race cars and just racing mechanical grip and if you have maybe a couple of stagger options for the tires to help gauge your balance, and that would be something Goodyear would have to produce, that's been my take forever just because I really enjoy the mechanical grip aspect of the racing. At all of this testing NASCAR has run cars with tons of downforce then a little bit of downforce and this is the package they came up with, so what our job to do as drivers and teams is to go out and tune these cars the best we can and see how they work. NASCAR told us after Vegas and a couple of these fast races early in the season, we would kind of take a look at where we stand and there still might be more changes coming, so I think it's a moving target and it will really be up to all of us to decide what we want."
HOW DO YOU FILTER THROUGH ALL THE OPINIONS THAT ARE SURE TO COME OUT AFTER VEGAS? "It's very, very difficult. I will say this, that I believe no matter what you're going to have a million opinions on it, just like a political topic or something. It's really tough to get everyone to agree on what the right thing is, but, basically, my experience and my upbringing and everything I've seen in racing says that if you have cars that have a ton of horsepower and low grip, then you get to see who can set the car up the best and who can drive it the best. That's what you get. If you have a bunch of cars that have a ton of grip and have a relatively low amount of power in that they're in the throttle a lot during a lap, and if they're relying on downforce, then you get all of these unintended consequences of how a car acts when it's following another car, and how a car acts when a car is next to it, and all of this stuff that is really hard to fix. So if I could wave my magic wand I would say we'd have cars with no downforce and half the grip we have and you'd have cars out there running three-wide, sideways, fighting for track position, spring adjustments during pit stops and all that. That being said, NASCAR wants that same thing it's just that we haven't been able to nail down the parameters of the race car that you change to get it. I think they're on their way to doing that, we just have to keep trying."
WHAT KIND OF FRUSTRATION DID YOU FEEL DURING THAT 70-RACE WINLESS STREAK? "I think to be successful in anything you have to constantly look at what you're doing, so that's always the same. For instance this last weekend, there are things that I did during the race that I could have done better and I always go back whether we win or lose and critique my performance. But, yes, specifically during the 2012 season it was very frustrating and I told you guys often that I was a lot happier when I was winning than when we were not winning or running well, so it is trying when you're not doing well, when you're not getting the results you want. It is tough to just keep doing what you know is right, keep working hard and keep moving forward. As we stood in victory lane there the other day, the first person I said thank you to was Jack Roush because he's the man who has seen the ups-and-downs of business life. And throughout the entire 2012 season he never once wavered. He said, 'I believe in you. You just keep doing what you're doing. We'll build the right team around you. We'll make this work,' and hopefully we're there now. Hopefully, we can go out and run like this on a regular basis, so I guess what I'm saying is I never really doubt myself, but I do look and make sure I'm doing everything I can do to win."
AFTER SPEEDWEEKS DID YOU THINK THIS WAS GOING TO BE LIKE 2012? "Yeah, I was a little nervous about going to Phoenix and having some sort of trouble because we all are expecting such great things and it was a little bit of a buzz kill to wreck five times and come out of there with a 36th-place finish or whatever it was there. That was really frustrating. My biggest concern was going to Phoenix and having something like that happen and having to climb out of a bigger hole, so this has definitely lifted all of our spirits. It's something we can go walk into the garage at Vegas and just kind of race a little bit looser and have some fun. I think that's good for everyone on the team."
IT SEEMED EARLY IN THE WEEKEND THE FORDS WEREN'T UP TO SPEED. WERE YOU WONDERING IF YOU GUYS WERE AT SOME SORT OF DISADVANTAGE OR DID YOU AS A GROUP MAKE SOME WHOLESALE CHANGES DURING THE WEEKEND TO PICK YOURSELF UP? "What made me nervous a little bit at Phoenix was the fact that the 16 car, Greg, struggled a little bit in practice and then at some points in the race because I know how good they are and how good they've been, so that made me a little bit nervous in practice. But then in qualifying Brad qualified pretty well, Ricky qualified pretty well. I think we're still all kind of feeling things out. I don't think everyone is running the exact same package yet. I don't think we've seen the full evolution of these car setups with this new car, but during the race I did take note that there were certain cars that were really fast. One of them was the 2 car. I thought they were as strong as anybody in the field and that made me feel good that a Ford was that fast, and then we were out front I felt like we were really strong as well, but I still don't have a real sense for how the manufacturers stack up, if there is a difference between them. I haven't been able to put my finger on it yet."
WILL YOU WORK ON ONE THING AND GREG WORK ON ANOTHER AND RICKY WORK ON SOMETHING ELSE, OR ARE YOU ALL ON YOUR OWN? "If we're doing it the right way, we'll each carry a little bit of the load and we'll each have things that we do so that the other teams don't have to replicate the same science experiment, so I'm sure we'll do a lot of team testing, where we each work on something for Roush Fenway Racing, but then we always try to allocate a little time in the test to just try some one-off stuff that we've been wanting to do, so we'll probably do a little bit of both."
WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR YOU TO CELEBRATE YOU WIN WITH THE FANS? "It's really cool when I can make it up into the grandstands, but there was a pretty good wall of people there and I couldn't get very far up into the grandstands. But a couple of the races that I've run up there into the stands it's been really neat. When I first started doing it they were really shocked. There were people just completely freaked out and then there were people who would be walking up to the grandstands or walking out and they'd just give you a high-five like they've known you forever. They're just like, 'Good job, man.' So that's really cool. That is definitely not my idea. Every time somebody brings that up I want to make it clear that I think if every driver went and did that, they would really enjoy it. I don't claim any ownership of that celebration. I think it's something that everybody should go try because it's really, really cool, especially when you find someone that's wearing your gear. That's really cool to be able to celebrate that moment with them."
ARE YOU WORRIED THAT YOU WON'T NAIL THE BACKFLIP? "Yes, I was actually very worried at Phoenix because I hadn't done a backflip for a long time. It seems to be easier to do the louder the crowd is, so if I get a good look up in the crowd and they're cheering really hard, it's usually pretty simple to do."

FAIRFIELD COUNTY, Conn. -- Several individuals and advocacy groups, including the the Fairfield County Business Council, are calling for authorities to restore balance to the pre-tax benefits given to commuters, according to Patch.com.
Groups and individuals are upset about a change that dropped the maximum pre-tax contribution for transit down to $135 per month, down from $245 last year. The pre-tax contribution for parking, however, was increased $5 to 250 per month, Patch.com reported.

Subsequently published in The Georgetown Law Journal, Vol. 87, No. 2, November 1998, 285-346. Only the abstract is available here. Please contact the author, or the Georgetown Law Journal, for a complete article.
Legal scholars and judges have long expressed concerns over the unpredictability and arbitrariness of punitive damages awards. Proposed remedies, such as restricting punitive damages to narrowly defined circumstances, have not yet met with success. This paper addresses the threshold issue of whether, on balance, punitive damages have benefits in excess of their costs. There is no evidence of a significant deterrent effect based on an original empirical analysis of a wide range of risk measures for the states with and without punitive damages. These measures included accident rates, chemical spills, medical malpractice injuries, insurance performance, and other outcomes that should be affected by punitive damages, but which are not. Punitive damages can and do cause substantial economic harm through their random infliction of economic penalties.

The Future of Savvysurvivor.com and Editorial Philosophies
The idea was born in 1993 for an extensive sourcebook of firearms knowledge of use to people new to the survivalist scene. Early drafts went through several changes before coming close to being publishable. We had originally looked at Paladin Press as the likely publisher but had difficulty integrating the text with pictures. Another issue was the reluctance of people who owned special, unique, valuable and sometimes illegal weapons to submit pictures and information about them to a stranger for publication.
In late 1998 the main writer decided to change from a book format to a website format because it reduced publishing costs and made it easier to alter text and pictures without committing to a publication schedule. Savvysurvivor.com went online as a beta site late one Friday night in October 2000 and got over 150 hits in the first six hours before any promotion to the major search engines.
The mission of this site is to act as a fixed resource for people interested in survivalism. We aim for a broad and international audience in the spirit of the free thinkers that established the United States of America as a beacon of liberty in what was (and in many places is) a world darkened by tyranny. We are, however, not espousing the frequently xenophobic narrowly focused platform commonly associated with the far right political movements in the US.
The editors, webmaster and publisher neither espouse nor promote racist, Communist or anti-American views. We do understand that people who live in a pluralistic society are entitled to hold views that may or may not be objectionable to others. Somewhere between anarchy and a police state we must recognize forums for open expression and respect that people will have different views. If a society travels down a road gagging every voice of dissent, totalitarianism is the destination.

Title in the Language of the Records
Tschechische Republik, Kirchenbücher 1552-1935
Collection Time Period
The earliest Czech book was created in 1441 (a book of christenings from Horní Jiřetín). Books have been kept to the present, but because of privacy laws, they are available for research only through 1905.
Record Description
Entries are usually arranged in chronological order and, after 1784, in a columnar format. During certain times, one book was used to list all the baptisms, marriages, and burials for all the villages in a parish for one year. At other times each village has its own section of baptisms, marriages, and burials, which were listed chronologically. Some records are on preprinted forms, and most records include indexes.
Czech church records are usually in one of three languages: Czech, German, or Latin. Often, one parish consists of books written in all three. Records from one state regional archive (statní oblastní archive) may favor one or more languages. For example, records from Litoměřice are usually written in German or Latin. Records from Plzeň or Třeboň are usually written in Czech, German, and Latin equally.
A filmed security copy of each book is stored at each state regional archive, but because of poor film quality, some of these are unusable for research. Books from the early 1900s (even though they may have been started earlier) are still stored in local city halls or other institutions. The Family History Library does not have filmed copies of the books, but did begin capturing the images digitally in 2007.
For a list of records by religion currently published in this collection, select the Browse link from the collection landing page.
The edict of the Council of Trent in 1563, which mandated the creation of church books, applied to Czech congregations. Austrian Emperor Joseph II issued the Edict of Toleration on October 13, 1781, which allowed Protestants, Jews, and others to keep their own church records under the supervision of the Catholic Church. Though the Protestants were allowed to keep registers starting in 1771, they were copied into Catholic registers. In 1781, Protestants continued to keep registers under Catholic supervision.
Starting February 10, 1784, Joseph II required that all church birth entries include the full names of both parents and all grandparents, along with their towns of origin and their military conscription numbers or unique address, such as Plichtice č. 5 (č is an abbreviation for čislo, or "number"). The emperor also required that records be kept in Latin or German, though Czech was often used. Column headings, which had started around 1784 (sometimes earlier), became mandatory.
In 1790, the Austrian government (under which Czech records were kept) created a law requiring indexes to be kept. In 1802, another law was passed requiring all older matriky (church books) to be indexed. Only rarely are volumes not indexed.
Starting in 1869, the civil authorities took charge of the record-keeping of births, marriages, and deaths. However, individual churches continued to actually record these events. The official legal copy was kept by local officials when many of the clergy refused to perform Catholic rites for non-Catholics. Everyone was registered under this new system, not just those appearing in Catholic or Protestant registers.
The church books cover a majority of the population.

Many therapists specialize in working with young children--using play therapy, for example, and I admire the work that they do. But my own approach is to hypothesize that when a child is not doing well, the problem likely resides with the parents. Thus I coach the parents to be firm and consistent. But I also coach them to work together, if they can--since child problems, seen in the context of divorcing parents, for example, might actually be a solution in that the problem is the only thing that brings the parents together as they seek to deal with the child. So resolving the parents' issues often is the key. The child cannot be made (however unintentionally) responsible for family unity.

Therapy with a young child is often a multi-tiered approach. Part of the process focuses on fostering a sense of comfort, support, and understanding for the child who may be feeling frustrated, unsuccessful, anxious, or depressed about life circumstances. Therapy also incorporates strategies for aiding the child to make behavioral changes in areas where he or she is currently struggling. Finally, therapy brings parents into the process by helping them gain a comprehensive understanding of what drives their child, and how they can then direct their child in more adaptive ways which allot for more successful life experiences. Similar to adults, children enter therapy for a broad array of reasons. W....

Turkey Meatloaf — The Weekenderby Marisa McClellan in Recipes, October 16th, 2014
I am of the firm belief that one of the best things you can do for yourself is spend an extra hour or two in the kitchen over the weekend. You can use that time cooking up a meal to have on hand for a busy weeknight, or stir together a treat to make your family feel a little extra special.
Sometimes, that weekend kitchen time isn't even about cooking. Often, it's simply a moment to clear out the fridge of anything past its prime and sketch out a plan for how to best use what remains.
And that's what The Weekender is about: doing yourself the kindness of investing a little bit of your weekend in the kitchen with an eye on the coming week. There will be tasty dishes, tricks for getting your kitchen in order and little things you can do to make meals during the workweek as painless as possible.
This weekend, consider the humble meatloaf. It's a great make-ahead meal, because it reheats beautifully (consider making two and stashing one in the freezer), works just as well in a sandwich as on a dinner plate and, for picky eaters, goes down easy with a generous dollop of ketchup.

MLB is reviewing Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen's tweets after he was ejected from Wednesday nights game at Yankee Stadium.
Guillen was thrown out of the game by umpire Todd Tichenor for arguing balls and strikes in the first inning.
Afterwards, he turned to his Twitter account:
This one going to cost me a lot money this is patetic
Today a tough guy show up a yankee stadium
This is the first issue involving someone using social media during a game, reported Doug Padilla of ESPN Chicago.
MLB has a social media policy covering employees that applies to managers and coaches and prevents them from disparaging umpires.
Guillen's job status is once again being tested. The White Sox are off to a disappointing 10-15 start.

David A. Kessler, M.D. - Utah International Medical Devices Congress
Utah International Medical Devices Congress and National Policy Summits
Remarks by
David A. Kessler, M.D.
Commissioner of Food and Drugs
Utah International Medical Devices Congress
National Policy Summits
Salt Lake City, Utah
August 20, 1994
Good morning. I'm pleased to participate in this third annual Utah International Medical Device Congress. I am happy to be in Utah home of my good friend and teacher Dr. ____ These meetings provide an important opportunity, a critically important opportunity, for those who manufacture medical devices and those who regulate them to discuss areas of common interest and concern.
After all, we do have a common goal -- to see to it that the American people receive the benefits of new medical technology, while at the same time ensuring that new devices are safe and effective.
But sometimes that shared goal, that objective, is obscured by the problems we both experience in trying to carry out our job. Experiences that don't always tell the whole story.
From our vantage point, we have seen some companies press for approval of their devices despite the fact that they don't have sufficient data to demonstrate safety and effectiveness. And we've seen others promoting their devices for indications that go well beyond the approved indications.
From the other side of the street, there's also truth in your perception of our shortcomings. Our process for reviewing new medical devices has been too slow -- more so than we want, and more so than you want. And, I might add, more so than the Congress wants.
We all have a stake in fixing this situation. A more prompt, more responsive review system would allow us to fulfill our public health mandate more effectively. And it would allow you to carry out your research, development and marketing activities more efficiently.
So how do we arrive at the solution? How do we get new device applications in the door and out again within a reasonable time period? And how do we do this without compromising our mandate to protect people against unsafe or ineffective products?
The first step in arriving at an answer, really require us, I believe, to examine the causes of the problem. One of those is sheer workload.
[SLIDE 1] The first slide shows our workload from 1977 to 1994, and projects the workload several years into the future. As you can see, the increase has been dramatic, from approximately 2,000 submissions in 1977 to 11,000 projected for 1994. Over the past few years we've had a steady growth of about 4 percent per year, and by the end of the decade we expect to be dealing with 14,000 submissions for new devices each year.
And that's just quantity. In addition, the complexity of the submissions is increasing even faster, because of the explosive growth of new technologies. In a way, that's testimony to the highly robust nature of this industry; it is one of the fastest growing in the United States. Last year the American device industry supplied 46 percent of the world's technology needs and generated a trade surplus of $4.7 billion.
But this expansion of the industry, beneficial as it may be, has had a profound impact on the FDA. The simple truth is that the industry's growth has caused us to fall further behind that we would like in carrying out one of our most important tasks -- evaluating the safety and effectiveness of new devices before they are allowed on the market. For example, the inventory of pending 510(k) submissions increased from about 2,000 in September 1990 to over 5,000 in September 1993. Those are cold facts and figures, but they take on special meaning for the manufacturer of a new device who is waiting in line for his product to be reviewed.
We have tried our best to surmount these problems over the last year by a combination of management improvements and shifts in resources. Dr. Bruce Burlington, the director of our Center for Devices and Radiological Health, worked with Dr. Alpert to make some innovative changes in the device review program, starting about a year ago. You can see these in the next slide.
[SLIDE 2] A year ago, CDRH initiated an expedited review policy for life-saving and clinically significant devices. We did this so that important breakthroughs would not languish amid the "me-too" devices. We've had 20 expedited submissions thus far -- including leads for pacemaker-defibrillators that can spare patients from having to go through chest surgery in order to have these devices implanted.
We also shifted resources to those 510(k) submissions needing the most intensive review, in what we call the "tier system." This means that the most complex and risky devices get intensive scrutiny, while the lowest risk devices get less attention.
And we began a "refuse to accept" policy for incomplete 510(k) submissions. This means that we're simply not wasting time on inadequate applications. It also means that the good ones no longer have to wait in line behind the poor ones.
We've also taken steps to improve our communication with the industry. We want you to understand what we expect, so you're better equipped to submit a quality application. For example, we've disseminated new guidance on what constitutes an acceptable clinical study, in terms of statistical design and methodology. And we're working with advisory panels to develop guidelines for specific types of products.
We're finalizing guidance on a long-standing point of confusion for manufacturers -- how to determine whether a particular change in a marketed device is significant enough to require a new 510(k)s. We know how important that guidance is to the Industry.
We're also developing special new tools to communicate with industry. Electronic dockets now provide wide-scale access to our policy documents and guidance, and a new computerized system allows manufacturers to find out where their 510(k) stands in the review queue, by fax. And we've embarked on a series of quarterly video teleconferences for the device industry, with literally thousands of participants from coast to coast.
We've made more recent improvements, as you can see from this slide
[SLIDE 3] This fiscal year, we transferred some of the device review workload to our laboratory staff as a temporary expedient while we recruited some additional reviewers.
And we're now proposing to exempt the lowest-risk devices from the 510(k)s process, which will result in 10 percent fewer applications. Later this year, we will be proposing further exemptions for low-risk products, which should result in an additional 10 percent reduction in applications.
Taking these steps has made a difference.
[SLIDE 4] For example, we processed about 400 510(k) submissions per month from mid-1991 to mid-1993. But in June 1993, following implementation of the management initiatives I just discussed, the number of 510(k)s processed rose from 400 per month to 600 per month.
I cannot stand here, however, and tell you that these gains are sustainable over the long term. The reduction in the backlog of 510(k)s was achieved at the expense of other types of submissions. For example, actions on PMAs remained static and actions on PMA supplements have actually gone down.
In fact, we anticipate that without fundamental changes, we will begin losing ground again before long. This is illustrated in the next slide.
[SLIDE 5] The shaded area on the left shows our inventory of 510(k) submissions from 1990 through the present. Notice that the inventory peaked in September 1993. Then, as a result of our management initiatives and a modest increase in staff, it began to come down. So, at least for now, we've turned the corner on the mounting 510(k)s backlog.
But now notice the right side of the chart. The solid line shows that we will make some further gains over the next two years. But by 1997, the inventory of pending 510(k)s will start to rise again -- because of the rapid growth of the industry and its burgeoning technology.
This means that despite our management improvements, and despite our temporary reshuffling of resources, and despite a budget increase this past year, our basic problem remains the same. We simply cannot carry out an effective, timely and well- balanced program of evaluating new devices unless we achieve a better balance between our workload and our resources.
And this brings me to the dotted line on the right side of the chart, which shows how user fees can dramatically alter that course, bringing the backlog down and keeping it down.
Let me acknowledge that I recognize that some manufacturers feel uneasy when they think about the prospect of a user fee program for devices. Even some in the industry who have voiced support for user fees have done so reluctantly. Part of the unease is a general feeling that regulatory agencies should not have to bill the industry in order to get their work done. The other source of the reluctance is far more specific -- a fear that the collected fees might drop into some sort of government black hole, never to be seen again. Or that we would not be held accountable for producing tangible results. Or that the fees might place an unduly heavy financial burden on manufacturers, particuarly the smaller ones.
Let me address both types of concerns. With respect to the general unease with the idea, I think we can all agree that in an ideal world -- one in which we had the resources necessary to keep pace with our obligations -- there would be no need for user fees. But we do not live in such a world. And, given the continued growth in our workload, it doesn't seem at all likely that we'll soon see that kind of world. So user fees for medical devices may be an idea whose time has come. And that's not necessarily a bad idea. After all, user fees are based on an equity principle of economics, one that I think makes sense -- namely, that it is fair for the beneficiary of a government service to help pay for providing that service.
As to the industry's more specific concerns, let me share with you the elements of a user fee program which are supported by this administration. I readily acknowledge significant contribution of Chairman Dingell to the Central Principles listed here
[SLIDE 6] First, the user fees must be additive to FDA's medical device program. That means that the fees cannot be used to support other parts of the government, or even other parts of FDA.
Second, the user fees must be dedicated to premarket review functions. That means that the fees cannot be used for other aspects of FDA's medical device program, such as research or enforcement.
Third, the user fees must be linked to specific performance goals. That means that we will be required to establish specific benchmarks for our device evaluation program, and we must be accountable to the Congress in meeting those benchmarks.
Fourth, the user fees should be billed per application, not per establishment. That means that manufacturers who do not use the system will not have to pay for it.
And fifth, the user fees should must be tailored to accommodate small business. That means we must take into account the fact that the device industry is dominated by very small companies, and design a fee structure that will not pose an unreasonable burden on these companies.
The fees that we anticipate for devices are shown in the next slide
[SLIDE 7] Note that the fees for devices are significantly smaller than for drugs. And that they remain level for five years, whereas the drug fees increase annually. These fees will come to about $23 million and will allow us to add about 200 additional staff for five years.
I also want to address the issue of performance goals, which are shown here
SLIDE 8 Within 24 months, our goal is to eliminate 95 percent of the 510(k) backlog and 90 percent of the PMA backlog.
On a long-term basis, we're aiming for final action on 95 percent of 510(k)s within 90 days, and comprehensive review of 90 percent of PMAs within 180 days.
I should stress that these goals will require us to process submissions for new devices at a faster rate than at any time in the past decade -- and with high quality. We are willing to do this because that is what's needed to spur innovation. And throughout the process, we will be accountable to the Congress.
I feel strongly that the FDA must keep pace with the Industry's growth. We owe it to you to produce timely and predictable reviews of new medical devices -- and we owe it to the American people to get safe and effective medical devices to patients as soon as possible. A user fee program represents an enormously important way to get there.
