Last Wednesday we charted the history of San Bernardino in a way that made the city's recent bankruptcy filing seem predictable, even predestined.
We saw how the city was abandoned in its infancy by its founders and how it has been a troublemaker ever since, acting out its aggression in ways that have kept it poor, disreputable and always under suspicion. (To read again, head online to sbsun.com and click on Opinions, then Columnists, then on my column titled "SB bankruptcy both inevitable, impossible.")
Today we will tell the story in a different way, and bankruptcy will seem like a shocker. A total surprise ending.
Wednesday's exercise was depressing, but today's offers hope for the future that San Bernardino can be saved. Wednesday's saga was titled "San Bernardino Bankrupt? Inevitable!" Today's title is "San Bernardino Bankrupt? Impossible!"
Let's begin, shall we?
The city was founded in 1851 by pious Mormon colonists from Salt Lake City. When the settlers were recalled to Utah by their church in 1857, it was a setback for San Bernardino. But the city rebounded starting in the 1870s when a booming citrus industry combined forces with the coming of the railroad to generate incredible wealth and growth throughout Southern California. San Bernardino became the gateway, the crossroads, the center of that prosperity.
Some of the West's most opulent hotels were built in the city. Wealthy families of the East built winter mansions here. Hot water spa resorts at Urbita Springs and Harlem Springs drew huge crowds of fun seekers from all over the Southland. Arrowhead Springs became a playground for the rich and famous. Arrowhead Spring Water became a national brand.
San Bernardino built an opera house in 1882, four years before there was one in Los Angeles. The nation's greatest stage stars of the day performed there.
In 1911 the first National Orange Show was held in the city. It would become Southern California's most famous annual exhibition and festival, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors each year from around the world.
San Bernardino's grand department store, Harris', became a fashion leader, luring shoppers from Los Angeles, San Diego and all of Southern California. Sage's Complete Markets, a San Bernardino-based chain, became America's first "one-stop" stores.
Hollywood filmmakers test marketed their new productions here, and San Bernardino became known as the movie premiere capital of the world, with screen stars mingling with fans under the bright lights of the city's downtown theater district.
San Bernardino was one of the West's great party towns, and indeed the fun got out of hand starting in the 1920s. The city's red-light district became well-known internationally. In the 1940s police shut down the district at the behest of the Pentagon, which wanted to build an installation in the city as part of its preparations for World War II.
What eventually would become Norton Air Force Base brought new jobs, money and growth to the city.
In the 1940s and '50s, San Bernardino entrepreneurs started what would become a new global industry - fast food. They invented the concept of the drive-in restaurant, founding the McDonald's, Taco Bell, Der Wienerschnitzel and other chains.
Starting in the 1950s and '60s, as a new interstate freeway system made America more mobile, San Bernardino became a Route 66 landmark and also a popular cruise capital for Southern California's burgeoning youth culture.
In the 1960s and '70s Swing Auditorium, on the grounds of the National Orange Show, became one of the West Coast's premier rock concert venues. The Rolling Stones performed their first American concert there in 1964, and subsequent concerts featured virtually every major act of the era.
It was during the 1960s that Campus Crusade for Christ, mindful of Bernardino's vibrant youth demographic, located its world headquarters in the city. Also, California State University opened a campus here.
In 1971, Little League Baseball established its Western Regional Headquarters here.
In 1977, San Bernardino received a national accolade when it was named an All-America City by the All-America City Committee based in Williamsburg, Va.
In the 1980s, San Bernardino hosted the giant outdoor US Festival events that led to the establishment of today's San Manuel Amphitheater, largest of its kind in America. Minor League Baseball franchised a team in the city (originally called the Spirit, then the Stampede and today the 66ers) that set all-time attendance records starting in its first season. The famed Renaissance Pleasure Faire relocated here from Los Angeles County.
In 1990, the first edition of what today is called the Stater Bros. Route 66 Rendezvous took place in San Bernardino. Today it draws 500,000 visitors each summer to downtown. In 1994, San Manuel Casino opened, immediately drawing large crowds of people from all over Southern California, year-round, day and night. In 2005, a much larger and more magnificent San Manuel Casino opened with a grand party starring Rod Stewart and hosted by Jay Leno.
Also in the 2000s, Carlo Ponti Jr. became maestro of the San Bernardino Symphony and his mother, film legend Sophia Loren, became a regular visitor to the city.
The same decade, Stater Bros., the Inland Empire's largest employer and only Fortune 500 company, relocated its headquarters to San Bernardino and built America's largest centralized grocery distribution center here. The International Culinary Schools at the Art Institutes chose San Bernardino as the location for its inland Southern California campus. And the State of California picked San Bernardino as the site of its newest California Welcome Center.
There. We've charted the history of San Bernardino in two different ways, one in which bankruptcy seems inevitable and another in which bankruptcy seems preposterous, impossible. And here's what we can learn from the exercise:
We have a choice.
Plan A is to wallow in self-pity, brood over our sorry turn of fortune, and continue to bicker and snipe over our blighted prospects. Plan B is to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and move forward together toward the future, which is where destiny is patiently waiting for us.
Let's go with Plan B.

Sun Salutation A - Surya Namaskara A
Sun Salutation B - Surya Namaskara B
Ashtanga Yoga Standing Sequence
Ashtanga Yoga Seated Sequence
Ashtanga Yoga Finishing Sequence
Ashtanga Yoga, for many the most complex, difficult and demanding form of yoga exercise and also the most beautiful and rich benefits.
We achieve an overall improvement in fitness, increase our power and reach an enviable flexibility soon enough with the commitment to regular exercise. Nevertheless, above all, breathing exercise and therefore very cordial aerobic exercise . Designed and inspired by Pattabhi Jois consists of six workouts with full instructions and precise details of every move each turn, each Asana combined with the breath of ashtanga unjiaja even know and most of the body should direct our gaze at each position called Drishtis.
Each exercise is a difficult exercise in connection with a Vinyasa next thus creating flow or exercise. In ashtanga yoga have their eyes always open, that does not mean that there is no concentration, just learn to be able to concentrate into the flow of the program and with open eyes. Add in the exercise along with the breath to activate the first two bandas opposed to Hatha yoga in which the bandas applied for holding breath.
The application of the bandas adds to the body temperature and increases the concentration to be able to achieve the great flexibility and convenience that calls the program on course. Please note that only few people manage to exercise the third series of ashtanga yoga.
The exercise program lasts two hours, to an accuracy of 100 up to 110 minutes of intense exercise and 10 minutes relaxation in lying position relaxation of yoga. In my opinion this is the most important and should be respected, even if for each Asana do a much easier variation , it is important to the entire program and to breathe for two hours in the way of ashtanga. It is not unlikely at the beginning to find that the breathing is more difficult than the exercise .
Br> In my opinion you do ashtanga yoga when you do the whole program, not when just choose some items from ashtanga yoga and putting in random order. Not when you give an ashtanga yoga your own interpretation as to how to get in standing positions. Not if you do confuse the right to the left site . You even dont do yoga if you do not breathe on a whole program, even with a simple breathing . Not if you do not connect the Asana at list with an easy Vinyasa modification . Not doing ashtanga because just at the start the class make a reference to Pattabhi Jois. You dont do ashtanga yoga if you start with only 3 sun salutations , you must do 5 +5 , if you get tired make a brake and breathe than continue but you have to do 5 + 5 .
The challenge of Ashtanga Yoga is applying correctly the breathing and concentration to control body temperature, with Asana and next Asana to be in a continuous flow to you with each inhalation to apply all your strength in the muscle groups required by each position with each exhalation just to relax those muscles. So you work within each Asana to go a little further down with each breath and relax each exhalation .
When you get this balance and smooth flow of the program able to feel that the position gets more comfortable, improving constantly, the whole program exits without realizing it, enjoy it, have managed to open your breathing ability , have trained all your body, you strengthen all your muscles while you relax ligaments muscles just enough to be flexible , you have passed the concentration on your body for almost two hours, you do the whole program of Ashtanga Yoga you are glad you feel beautiful.
Ashtanga yoga, described as an athletic form of yoga exercise. That is correct in my opinion, does not mean that it is only for athletes in general or only for those who active in sports.
Unlike just about anyone who does not exercise at all and wants to change his routine, for him asthanga yoga is definitely a big challenge will be particularly difficult in the beginning, you will need perseverance, great effort and more insistence, again and again ... ashtanga results are visible, they come very quickly with regular exercise is needed 4 to 6 times a week exercise, in a few weeks have changed everything ,it is like a miracle, how quickly you get on the progress doing regular the exercise.
Please note that ashtanga yoga for all who try, is in principle very difficult, even for other style yoga teachers .

In an article by the Architects' Journal, Tony Fretton is quoted as saying there ought to be fewer architecture schools in the UK, with more difficult entry requirements and a higher failure rate. "There should be a shortage of architects in the UK," he says, "fewer bad architects, fewer good architects".
Citing Switzerland and the Netherlands as countries which do well with just 2 or 3 major architecture schools, he believes that architectural education should be concentrated into just a few schools in order to give students more access to the best tutors.

By Kelly Carter, special for USA TODAY
Betty N. Thesky is the pen name of a flying veteran whose Betty in the Sky with a Suitcase: Hilarious Stories of Air Travel by the World's Favorite Flight Attendant (Riverbend Publishing, $9.95), has just been published. Her employer of two decades is a major airline she is not allowed to disclose, and she previously worked at People Express and Continental. Betty has book signings Monday at JFK's Terminal 2; April 21 in a pre-security area at John Wayne Airport in Orange County, Calif. More information and stories can be found at bettyinthesky.com, and she invites readers to send her their own flying funnies to firstname.lastname@example.com for her next book, Betty and the Jets.
Q: What's the craziest thing you've witnessed a passenger do aboard a flight?
A: People never cease to amaze me. I keep thinking I've seen everything, and the next day somebody will do something crazy. I don't like when people take their clothes off. They take their clothes off in the bathroom. (Once) a guy took his clothes off because he was going to be deported and was hoping to divert the flight.
Q: Have you had any passengers join the Mile High Club?
A: A lot. I don't know why everybody wants to join that club because the bathrooms are small and dirty. It causes problems on the airplane. They try to be sneaky about it and wait until we're not near the galley. Generally the first person goes in and doesn't lock the door. Then the second one goes in. Recently, a woman (who went in second) didn't lock the door. They started getting hot and heavy and sort of banging into things because it's so small in there. The two of them fell out and landed on the aisle in first class. They didn't enter the Mile High Club. They didn't get that far.
Q: What's the most difficult thing about your job?
A: When we have medical emergencies. We are not medical professionals, so whenever somebody is having a heart attack or something ike that, that's really stressful. You're there on the front line but you're not necessarily that equipped to handle it. We have to cross our fingers and toes and hope there is a medical professional on board. Luckily, they do step forward. They don't have to. We're so appreciative when they help.
Q: Has anyone ever died on your flights?
A: Yes, a couple. It's very emotional. I think the reason why things like that happen is people get stressed out. They don't take their medications. They check their medications (in bags). … We have a lot of people that keel over who are just passing out. Young, healthy people will pass out, so that's not as stressful. Lots of times they'll be hung over and then they get on the plane and take an Ambien or something. They get up to go the bathroom and the next thing you know they're on the ground. I had one of those happen not that long ago and it ended up being stressful because he passed out. The first thing to hit the galley floor was his head. There was blood everywhere. It looked like somebody shot him.
Q: What's been the best thing about flying?
A: My best experiences as a flight attendant were the CRAF flights. Civil Reserve Air Fleet is an agreement the airlines have with the government, that in times of war, the airlines have to loan airplanes and flight personnel to deliver troops to and from war zones. Airlines cannot force employees to fly into a potentially dangerous area, so these flights are maned on a volunteer basis. I volunteered. During the latest Iraq war we had to fly into Kuwait at night with the airplane lights off in case someone would be shooting at us. That is a surreal experience on a commercial aircraft!We had to be equipped with chemical war suits and learn how to give ourselves chemical warfare antidote injections in the event we were exposed to chemical weapons. These are not things that I do in a typical day at work!
The flights when we were flying these young soldiers off to war were extremely emotional for me. En route we would stop in Rome, and there was a gate agent there that would sing over the PA system of the airplane. With the voice of an angel she would sing The Star-Spangled Bannerwith all the soldiers standing at attention, and I would cry like a baby. As hard as it was to fly them off to war, bringing them home was even more emotional. We would decorate the airplane with flags and "Welcome home, hero" banners. Our airline gave us cakes to cut in celebration. Some flight attendants went to local schools and had kids write letters to the soldiers, and we would tape them to the walls of the airplane that would be delivering them home. I was thrilled to be the first smiling face on their flight home to safety. It was truly a remarkable experience.
Q: What's been the biggest change in the airline industry that you've witnessed?
A: The security since 9/11. The job has changed so much. A lot of people got out of the profession after that. I'm still staying, because I love to travel and I love the travel benefits. But it has made life a lot more difficult, not only for the traveling public but for the crewmembers. Now we search the airplanes. We have a lot of extra responsibilities that weren't there when I started.
Q: Are passengers grumpier these days?
A: They are grumpier just because of all the restrictions. They have to get there so early. Going through security, taking your shoes off, I think, has put a pall on the whole traveling (experience), but we still have fun people. Some people still have a good attitude, but it is more challenging for everybody.
Q: Carry-on bags are a huge issue these days. What is the flight attendants' take on this?
A: What a flight attendant wants and what the airlines want are not always the same thing. Now we have these checked baggage fees. The passengers are trying to save money by trying to bring their bags on board. But we only have so much space, so it turns into a nightmare during the boarding process. I've had to check 45 bags at the boarding door. Then (passengers) don't have to pay, so they'd rather do that. We still have all this pressure to get the flight out on time. Carry-on bags can be a disaster.
Q: Can you give a flying tip to passengers to make their journeys more pleasurable?
A: Think ahead. Don't check any medication. (Warm-weather vacationers) don't think about the flight, so they come on in shorts and then they're freezing. To make it more enjoyable, once you get through security and all of the hoops you have to jump through, just enjoy the flight experience. People used to like to fly. They've just sort of forgotten that.

Coronary artery disease happens when fatty deposits called plaque (say "plak") build up inside your coronary arteries. Those are the blood vessels that supply blood and oxygen to your heart. Plaque buildup may reduce the amount of blood that gets to your heart. Coronary artery disease can cause angina symptoms, such as chest pain or pressure. It can lead to a heart attack.
Coronary artery disease (also called CAD) is the most common type of heart disease. It's also the number one killer of both men and women in the United States.

With the economy recovering, the automotive industry has continued to rev things up. A prime example: Auto parts manufacturer Johnson Controls (JCI) jumped over 8% last Wednesday after posting an earnings beat.
And taking a broader look, auto parts stocks as a whole have climbed over 30% year-to-date. Still, not all auto names will keep accelerating in the next 6 to 12 months.
Let's take a look at two stocks to buy and two to sell in this very competitive industry.
Buy: Icahn Enterprises L.P.
Carl Icahn might be 77 years old, but he is busier today than he's been at any point in his career — or at least it seems that way. In the past year, Icahn has been involved in skirmishes over Dell (DELL) and Herbalife (HLF), made a ton of money on Netflix (NFLX) and invested significant capital in both Chesapeake Energy (CHK) and Transocean (RIG).
Investors have liked it, sending Icahn Enterprises L.P. (IEP) up over 50% year-to-date.
While this is a diverse play (IEP has $26.3 billion in assets invested in eight different industries), it has its auto exposure. See, Icahn doesn't just invest in public companies. In many cases, he buys majority control — as he has done with Federal-Mogul (FDML), a Michigan-based company that manufactures automotive powertrain products and other aftermarket vehicle component parts, and that just posted a second-quarter profits after losing money in the same quarter last year.
IEP also recently upped its annual distribution, giving it a yield of 5.5%. And say what you will about Carl Icahn: He's no dummy. IEP is a buy.
Buy: Wabco Holdings
For those unfamiliar with Wabco Holdings (WBC), its history is intertwined with Wabtec Corp. (WAB). Both are successor companies of George Westinghouse, the great American inventor, and both stocks have performed exceptionally better than the S&P 500 over the last five years.
Wabtec focuses on railcars, subways and buses while Wabco specializes in commercial vehicles. Personally, I prefer Wabco because it's an incredibly efficient business. Despite a 10% decline in global commercial vehicle production in the first three months of the year, Wabco managed to hold its decline to less than 1%.
Plus, the company still upped its full-year 2013 guidance for revenue and earnings. Heck, the high end of its new EPS range would make for 9% year-over-year growth, which is superb for the struggling commercial truck business.
Sitting at or near its 52-week high, my second buy recommendation might seem careless to some. However, I see its stock taking off in 2014 as commercial truck production recovers.
Sell: Advance Auto Parts
Over the past two months, Advance Auto Parts (AAP) — the retailer of aftermarket auto parts to both the do-it-yourself crowd and commercial garages — was downgraded by two analysts. Deutsche Bank (DB) cut its rating from "Buy" to "Hold" in mid-May as a result of slowing comparable store sales, and also lowered its target price from $97 to $78 — $4 lower than its current share price.
More recently, Morgan Stanley (MS) cut its rating from "Equalweight" to "Underweight" at the end of June. While I've been unable to find Morgan Stanley's reasons for the cut, it most likely had to do with AAP underperforming its peers AutoZone (AZO) and O'Reilly Automotive (ORLY). The Virginia-based specialty retailer is losing market share to its two biggest competitors and its total return year-to-date is only 13% — considerably lower than AZO and ORLY.
Plus, with its 2013 guidance cut thanks to a weak start to the year, I just don't see AAP mounting a charge any time soon. There are better options when it comes to auto parts.
Sell: Gentex
Lastly, we have Gentex (GNTX), which has a total return so far in 2013 of 23% — below the industry average.
In an attempt to diversify beyond its auto-dimming mirrors, where it has an 88% market share, the company just announced that it is buying HomeLink for $700 million from Johnson Controls. HomeLink provides a wireless system for opening your garage, turning on your exterior house lights and so on. The deal is expected to add $150 million in sales while improving gross margins by as much as 150 basis points.
Long-term I think this will be a good acquisition for the company. However, in the short-term, it's paying a lot (4.7 times sales) while adding at least $200 million in debt and eliminating its very healthy cash position. Gentex will have to integrate HomeLink flawlessly since it's paid a big price for $150 million in revenue.
Gentex releases its Q2 earnings this Wednesday. If it stumbles like it did last quarter, I'd expect its stock to begin a healthy decline over the remainder of 2013. And regardless of the results, Gentex is my second sell recommendation.
As of this writing, Will Ashworth did not own a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

* The first progress reports are done. Next week we run parent-student conferences for three days straight (Bob; rum and Coke at Chez Chili every night!)
* I feel like I have fewer failing students than I've had in the past, but those who are failing are doing so with gusto. I also have at least two students with perfect scores. Everyone else is in the middle. It would be interesting to see a graph of how that settles out.
*I've got this one kid, let's call him Terrance, who sends me emails that look like this:
can u tell me whr i can get the book
That's it. No salutation, no capital letters, no punctuation and, in some cases, no English words. Even better, some of the papers he's handed in for a grade have text-speak in them, as well. I'll be beating proper grammar conventions into his entire class next week. I hope his classmates appreciate it.
* I'm working on co-creating an outreach club at the school. I have connected with an activist mother to get some students mobilized with the goal of promoting acceptance for GLBTQ kids in our community. I feel like we've got that issue pretty much knocked inside the walls of CHS, but I know for sure that it's not that way in the town at large. More info on this as it happens; we're literally in the nascent, "how-do-we-make-this-happen" stages. I'm really excited about it, though; I can't just sit by and let another baby take his own life.
How's YOUR school year going so far?

Their food was soon finished, and they had to subsist on a black seed like the natives called "nardoo."
Afterwards a supply of nardoo was given him; at which he ate until he could eat no more.
Even if we could get fish, I doubt whether we could do much on that and nardoo alone.
For a meal, they boiled some of the nardoo seeds, and then made for the main creek.
These are collected by the natives, and are known over most of the continent as nardoo.
King searched about and found a few small patches of nardoo.
King managed to live on the nardoo; it seemed to agree with him better than with his companions.
We gathered some nardoo and boiled the seeds, as we were unable to pound them.
King gone out for nardoo; Mr. Burke at home pounding seed; he finds himself getting very weak in the legs.
Here many natives were observed pounding the nardoo seed between two stones, which was then baked and roasted on the ashes.

Although not many of us have the kind of resources to pull off the style statement that our favorite celebrities do, but we can emulate what they do with their hair. Check out this list of celebrities who have shown that short hair really does rock. Whether it's pink, black or blonde, Pink's roll-and-roll 'do is the epitome of sexy. This pop/R&B singer has shown that having short hair doesn't have to mean having only one style. With her short styles, Rihanna's stunning facial features really stand out. You can draw attention to your best features in a similar way, too. Whether it's your stunning blue-green eyes, your swan-like neck or your full Angelina Jolie lips, a short hair style will bring those features to the fore. Sharon Stone It's just "Basic Instinct": Sharon Stone's delicate features and stunning eyes are perfectly suited to her short, spiky hairstyle. Meg Ryan's short hair goes to show that curly hair can look great in a short style. Her cherubic look complements her youthful-looking features.

Newbury host its first flat racing of the season this weekend and we have a competitive and informative card.
John Gosden has his string very well forward (four winners on Wednesday) and he saddles Dante and Derby entry Western Hymn (3.05) in the 10f Conditions race for three-year-olds.
All seven who go to post are previous winners and both Andrew Balding's Scotland and Sir Michael Stoute's Snow Sky are highly respected, but the selection created a very favourable impression when scoring at Kempton Park on his sole start back in December and, with the stable in such good form, he is taken to maintain his unbeaten record.
There are two valuable handicaps on the card and Gosden can land a quick double courtesy of Muwaary (3.40) another unbeaten colt from the yard in the next.
The selection scored over C&D on good to firm ground back in July but was not seen since although it is worth noting that he still holds entries for both the Newmarket (50/1 at BetVictor) and Irish Guineas.
Paul Hanagan takes the ride and it should also be pointed out that he could have ridden Zarwaan from the Ed Dunlop stable.
Muwaary is bred to appreciate good or fast ground but conditions (good to soft and drying out) at the time of writing should not be a problem and the Gosden bandwagon is set to roll on.
In the concluding 10f Fillies' maiden it will take a good one to lower the colours of Casual Smile (5.45) for Andrew Balding despite the fact that she was a beaten favourite in two of three starts as a juvenile. She still holds an entry in the Oaks and this daughter of Sea The Stars should appreciate this trip stepping up from a mile where she travelled well but lacked a finishing kick.
As with all Newbury maidens there are lots of well-bred newcomers including the daughter of New Approach Approaching Star who cost 175,000 Euros as a juvenile.
Ayr host the first day of their Scottish National meeting and Sign Of A Victory (2.10) should get favourite backers off to a winning start for Nicky Henderson.
This looks a good piece of placing by the stable with a gelding who has won two of his three starts over timber including when landing the odds at Newbury last month.

Help for video formats
Since I'm a Windows only user, I can only offer assistance when it comes to Windows! I have no idea how to get Xvid to work on a Linux operating system!
|Active Streaming Format. Microsofts attempt at achieving a good video streaming format (and put Real Media out of business). Never really got any good quailty with it though. As long as you have Windows Media Player 6.4 or above, you're fine.
|This one became popular for it's compression ability without losing too much quality, although that depends on the person coding it! Head over to DivX.com and download the latest codec. ALWAYS check for the latest codecs!

|This is an oldy and goldy that is compatible with most operating systems. Doesn't compress too much so the file size is pretty big. The two usual standards here is either VCD format or SVCD. Normal VCD doesn't require anything special, but SVCD can be tricky. You'll need an MPEG2 codec. They usually come integrated in every good software DVD player, like PowerDVD or WinDVD. And you should play the files through the DVD player, not Windows Media Player!

How do you think the new GigE standards will influence the machine vision industry?
Respond or ask your question now!
TOKYO, Dec 21 Asia Pulse - Toshiba Medical Systems Corp. is bolstering its X-ray imaging equipment business in the U.S., introducing a new system there before rolling it out in Japan or Europe.
The new system uses X-rays to capture images of blood vessels inside the body of a patient lying on an attached table. By rotating the direction of X-ray exposure, the system can display the blood vessels in 3-D computer graphics, making it useful in diagnosis and surgery related to cerebral aneurysms and heart attacks.
Rather than the vacuum-tube-based round detectors now used in the equipment the firm sells in the U.S., the new device uses a semiconductor-based rectangular flat-panel detector that reduces distortion.
An FPD 15 per cent larger than those from models in Japan will be included with the U.S. equipment, making more detailed displays possible and thus making it easier to detect abnormalities in blood vessels.
The system will cost US$1.96 million. Toshiba Medical is targeting sales of 15 units by March. It expects the high performance of the equipment to appeal to medical institutions and hopes this leads to expanded sales of other imaging diagnostic equipment as it aims to quadruple its U.S. market share to 20 per cent in three years.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by Texas_Pete, Sep 24, 2013.
That's what I am looking for also.
There's a little more to it than that but I agree if the Cowboys can develop a good running game it will make a big difference if they make it to the post season.
Good to see Emmitt reconises the importance of a running game to win. Funny I was watching Peyton Manning post game talked about the importance of the run game to keep the defense off balance. Everyone agrees you got to be able to pass but running still matters in this league and for the Cowboys a running game is big if they expect to get to post season and do something in post season. If not then defense will just get after Romo. Not hard to figure out
We may finally have a decent enough OL we can run consistently.
My bad - I thought I put it in there. Here is the LINK
Sorry about that.
That kind of made me laugh Dooms.
Amen brother E.Smith....
If we can get our coach and o-coordinator to see it the same way we'll be golden.
The running game matters just as much as it always has.
You have to be able to run effectively and this offense demands it. Still in general you must pass defend and run your pass offense better than the other team. Our pass offense depends on the run more so than some other offenses but many teams run some variation of the vertical offense. Most here don't insist the run offense is unimportant. It's just not more predictive than running re wins. But you can't divorce the run from the pass or vice versa.

|Kingdom card?
|Alejandro Gutiérrez Franco
|Card text
+1 Action
Look at the top 3 cards of your deck. Trash one of them. Discard one of them. Put the other one on top of your deck.
Lookout is an Action card from Seaside. When you play Lookout, you look at the top 3 cards of your deck and pick one to trash, one to discard, and one to put back; unless you know what's on top of your deck, be careful, because you might have to trash something you'd rather keep! Nevertheless, as a non-terminal trasher, Lookout can be a pretty good opening when the Kingdom is right.
[edit] FAQ
[edit] Official FAQ
- If you do not have 3 cards to look at from the top of your deck, look at as many as you can and then shuffle your discard pile to look at the remaining cards.
- You should look at all 3 cards before deciding which card to trash, which card to discard, and which card to put back on top of your deck.
- If the 3 cards you look at are the last 3 cards in your deck, the card you put back on top of your deck will be the only card left in your deck.
- If you have less than 3 cards to look at, even after shuffling, then you must follow the instructions on the card in order.
- If you only have one card to look at, you must trash it. If you have 2 cards to look at, you must trash one and discard one.
[edit] Other Rules clarifications
You follow the instructions in order; first you look at 3 cards, then you trash one (and receive any on-trash benefits), then you discard one (and receive any on-discard benefits) and then you put one back on top of the deck.
The three cards you look at are not considered to still be the top cards of your deck while you are resolving Lookout. Thus, for example, if you trash a card with an on-trash draw bonus, such as Overgrown Estate, you will not draw one of the remaining two cards you're looking at, but rather the next one down.
[edit] Strategy Article
There is no comprehensive strategy article for Lookout.
Lookout is one of the few non-terminal trashers in the game. However, only trashing a single card and the typical unpredictability in which card is trashed weakens Lookout a lot. Furthermore, the forced trashing, coupled with the uncertainty in what you draw, can often make lookout a dangerous play, especially towards the end of the game. Ideally, in games where you pick up a Lookout, you should keep track of what cards are remaining in your deck and not play Lookout if there is a good chance of a bad draw.
Lookout becomes much stronger when you can negate the unpredictability. If either you or your opponent plays a card which allows you to know what is coming up next, it allows you to much more safely play lookout. Lookout is a particularly effective defense against Sea Hag, which places the curse on top of your deck.
Because Lookout takes up a slot in your hand, it is often counter-productive in a Big Money deck. The lost buying power will slow you down from purchasing Gold, and trashing Estates and Coppers is not sufficient to compensate for that. Lookout becomes much better in engines where you are able to draw a large number of cards. It can be very effective in engines where you can draw your entire deck and then discard a junk card for Lookout to trash.

IRS Publishes 2016 Pension Plan Limitations
Mary Rogers and Mike Dell Write Article for Law360 on Employment Lawsuits Against the Borgata
Ed Mulder, a participant in his employer's group health plan (the "Scott Plan"), was prescribed the prescription drug Mevacor, to lower his cholesterol. After taking Mevacor for a year, Mulder received a notice from the Scott Plan's pharmacy benefits manager, PCS Health Systems, Inc. ("PCS"), explaining that instead of Mevacor, he would be receiving Prevachol, also a cholesterol-lowering drug. Believing that PCS had changed his medication to increase its own profits through the "rebates and kickbacks" it received from drug manufacturers, Mulder filed suit against PCS alleging that it breached its fiduciary duties under ERISA. The Scott Plan delegated the authority and control of all of its health and prescription benefit coverage to Oxford Health Plans, Inc. ("Oxford"), a health maintenance organization. Oxford, in turn, retained PCS to manage its prescription drug benefits program. Pursuant to several contracts, PCS performed the following services for Oxford: (1) claims processing; (2) formulary/preferred drug list services – assisting with the determination of the drugs to be covered by the Scott plan; (3) rebate services – negotiating contracts with drug manufacturers; and (4) drug utilization review/therapeutic services – monitoring drug prescription practices.This decision highlights how the Third Circuit determines whether a person is an ERISA fiduciary. First, as the court reiterated, the linchpin of fiduciary status under ERISA is discretion. An entity is an ERISA fiduciary if it exercises discretionary authority or control over the management or disposition of an employee benefit plan's assets. Second, ERISA imposes fiduciary status on entities only when they perform fiduciary (i.e., discretionary) actions with respect to a plan's assets. In other words, fiduciary status is not an all or nothing concept -- an entity may be an ERISA fiduciary when it performs some activities but not others.In light of the above, the court concluded that PCS was not an ERISA fiduciary when it performed the above-listed activities pursuant to its contracts with Oxford. First, PCS was not an ERISA fiduciary when it processed claims because it did not have discretion when it did this – it processed claims according to Oxford's plan specifications. Second, while PCS made suggestions for the Scott Plan preferred drug list, Oxford retained the authority to accept or reject PCS's recommendations. Third, while PCS did negotiate for rebates with drug manufacturers, it did not acquire fiduciary status or have discretionary authority over plan assets simply by contracting to receive its compensation for services through drug manufacturer rebates. Fourth, according to the terms of their contracts, Oxford retained the right to expand or terminate PCS's drug utilization review services. Merely designing and implementing the drug utilization review program was not enough to establish that PCS had discretionary authority over physicians and pharmacists with respect to drug utilization.Having concluded that PCS was not an ERISA fiduciary since it did not retain discretionary authority with respect to the Scott Plan assets when it performed claims processing, preferred drug list services, rebate services, and drug utilization reviews for Oxford, the court granted PCS′s motion for summary judgment.

Regarding Tim Donnelly's exploratory committee for governor of California (Nov. 29):
I find it deplorable to listen to the people interviewed for this article, save but one, Ross Lapham, with whom I would agree it would be by the "Hand of God."
The other four people, well, let's say the professor never lets anyone forget what part of the political spectrum he prefers.
The chairman of the San Bernardino County Republican Central Committee has led his party absolutely nowhere in the last two years, and is not an authority to check in with. Bob Dutton "had money" and lost. Donnelly has a ground game, Dutton did not.
Angela Valles should tread softly when speaking about racism and a gun in an airport.
The common link with all four of these characters herein mentioned - the county chair, Bob Dutton, Angela Valles and the professor - is that they think the Republicans should be more like the liberal left in order to get elected.
The Republican Party needs to show its differences with the liberal elite and far left using "bright, brilliant colors," not the palest of pastels.
Tim Donnelly would do just that!
What the three so-called Republicans need to do is switch their political affiliation to the party of the left and be done with it. The Republicans put up Meg Whitman (a RINO) two years ago and fooled no one.
The Democrats own both state houses and every elected state position; they own this mess "lock, stock and barrel."
Let California show the world how a state run amok with taxes and more regulations than you can count (without a calculator) gets things done.

Abstract: This chapter provides an integrated view of knowledge
transfer between university and industry by combining two different
approaches. First, we report results from an econometric analysis, where
recent matching techniques are used on a dataset of 2,071 Swedish firms.
Our findings from this analysis strongly suggest that university
collaboration has a positive influence on the innovative activity of large
manufacturing firms. In contrast, there appears to be an insignificant
association between university collaboration and the average service firm's
innovation output. Second, in the pursuit of credible explanations for
these findings, we apply a semi-structured interview methodology on 39
randomly selected firms collaborating with two research universities in
Stockholm, Sweden. We identify three ideas for how collaboration may help
firms become more innovative in the literature of innovation studies. In
analysis of the interviews, we find very weak support for the first idea;
that firms are able to exploit and market innovations originating in the
university. The second idea – that firms improve their internal innovative
capability by collaboration – is found to apply to about half of the
investigated firms. Innovation efficiency gains in the form of reduced cost
and risk for innovation projects, which is a third idea suggested by the
literature, are also suggested to be a major factor behind firms' benefits.
Finally, we offer tentative explanations for the lack of measurable effects
of collaboration for service firms.

Numerous Fox Newsers embrace and defend racial profiling aspect of AZ immigration law
Research ››› ››› ERIC HANANOKI
In recent days, numerous Fox News personalities have voiced support for Arizona's new controversial immigration law that requires law enforcement to demand immigration papers of those they suspect to be in the country illegally, which many argue will lead to racial profiling. In doing so, these Fox News figures have embraced and defended the law, including the potential for racial profiling, by arguing, among other things, that "people may have to endure some inconvenience."
Law and "racial profiling ... will go hand in hand"
Arizona Republic: Law "will require anyone whom police suspect of being in the country illegally to produce" immigration documents. An April 24 Arizona Republic article reported:
Arizona's immigration law, now considered the toughest in the nation, makes it a state crime to be in the country illegally and requires local police to enforce federal immigration laws. It will require anyone whom police suspect of being in the country illegally to produce "an alien registration document," such as a green card or other proof of citizenship, such as a passport or Arizona driver's license.
It also makes it illegal to impede the flow of traffic by picking up day laborers for work. A day laborer who gets picked up for work, and traffic is impeded in the process, would also be committing a criminal act.
NY Times: "Opponents have called it an open invitation for harassment and discrimination against Hispanics." As the New York Times noted on April 24: "Opponents have called it an open invitation for harassment and discrimination against Hispanics regardless of their citizenship status." The Times added: "It requires police officers, 'when practicable,' to detain people they reasonably suspect are in the country without authorization and to verify their status with federal officials, unless doing so would hinder an investigation or emergency medical treatment."
Arizona Daily Star: "Racial profiling, SB 1070 will go hand in hand." The Arizona Daily Star wrote in an April 16 editorial that the bill "would turn legal residents into police targets, as well as those who are here illegally. It would foment racial profiling of Hispanics. ... Civil libertarians and immigrant-rights groups say the Arizona bill will spur racial profiling. We agree, and we doubt that many of its provisions are constitutional.
Fox Newsers embrace and defend law's potential for racial profiling
Crowder: Nothing wrong with law's racial profiling. During the April 23 edition of Fox News' Hannity, Fox News contributor Steven Crowder said that there's racial profiling in the law and "I don't think there's really anything wrong as far as racial profiling, stopping people who are coming in illegally. I mean, you're not looking for a blond haired, blue eyed Swede most of the time."
Gutfeld: Racial profiling a no-brainer. On the April 21 edition of Fox News' Hannity, Red Eye host Greg Gutfeld said of the law: "A lot of the critics are saying this is racial profiling. Duh! They're coming from another country. That's what you do. You have to look at them and see who they are before you know they're legal or illegal. I don't think that's a fair criticism."
Gallagher dismisses racial profiling concerns. On the April 23 edition of his Salem Radio program, radio host and Fox News contributor Mike Gallagher told Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace, "Sign it, baby, sign it" and that the Arizona legislature is his "new hero." After Wallace noted concerns about civil liberties, Gallagher said that "it's racial profiling, to be sure, cops know if there's a van full of dark-skinned men with lawnmowers packed into the back of a pick-up truck...that's what they're talking about."
Malkin: "Arizona: Doing the job the feds won't do." Michelle Malkin praised the law in an April 23 post on her blog, writing: "GOP Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer has signed the nation's toughest immigration enforcement bill. They're doing the job the feds won't do - taking the law and our borders seriously to protect the health, safety, and welfare of our citizens first. Cue the ACLU lawyers, the open-borders lobby, and the race-card players. And watch the Left show you what intolerance is really all about." Malkin, who wrote the book In Defense of Internment: The Case for Racial Profiling in World War II and the War on Terror, also wrote that some are "whining about Arizona becoming a 'police state.'"
Hume: "Some people are going to have to endure inconvenience as opposed to everybody." On the April 19 edition of The O'Reilly Factor, Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume appeared to dismiss concerns about racial profiling, stating that "if it's an effective law enforcement technique done in good faith, people may have to endure some inconvenience. What we're saying here is that some people are going to have endure inconvenience as opposed to everybody having to endure it."
Some Fox Newsers disagree: Bill is "draconian" and "goes way too far"
While numerous Fox News personalities have embraced and defended the racial profiling aspect of the Arizona law, some Fox News personalities have criticized it. For instance, Mike Huckabee said on Fox & Friends that the courts will find the law "problematic" because "there is no such thing" as "American looking" person. Fox News contributor Fred Barnes said that the bill is "draconian" and "goes way too far." Fox News contributor Charles Krauthammer said he was concerned about "illegals" but the bill "could lead to a lot of civil rights abuses." And Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace said on Mike Gallagher's program: "I'm not sure I like the idea that law enforcement can go up to anybody and say show me your identity card."

VATICAN CITY, MARCH 4, 2007 (Zenit.org).- L'Osservatore Romano lauded the "exemplary gesture" of an Italian doctor who resigned as adviser of the College of Physicians to express his opposition to colleagues' decision in a euthanasia case.
The College of Physicians decided not to initiate disciplinary measures against Dr. Mario Riccio, an anesthetist who on Dec. 20 disconnected the mechanical respirator that kept alive Piergiorgio Welby. The patient had requested an end to his life.
The Welby case unleashed a national debate on the legalization of euthanasia.
In his letter of resignation, Dr. Stefano Ojetti stressed the conviction that every adt of euthanasia is openly against the Hippocratic oath and the code of medical ethics.
Ojetti described Welby's death as a "sad and dark page in the history of our medicine."
L'Osservatore Romano, in today's Italian edition, said, "Ojetti's gesture merits the highest consideration and has exemplary value for those who exercise the medical profession."
"At the same time, it is a duty to add a word of encouragement for those, within the decision-making organization of the College of Physicians, who continue their battle in defense of life, a value that is extremely attacked today," added the Vatican newspaper.
"In fact," the article said, "mobilization in defense of life passes also through commitment within the organizations that have the competence to regulate the activity of medical and health care agents."

Here's another idea in the thought of not getting overwhelmed by building complex circuits.

You can get a device called a "Constant current diode (also called CLD, current limiting diode, constant-current diode, diode-connected transistor or CRD,current-regulating diode)"

 Āhttps://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Constant_current_diode

As long as your battery has a higher voltage than your string of diodes (add up the voltage drops if you run them in series as others have advised) and is capable of producing the current (milliamps), picking a constant current diode that has a current rating at or below the rating of your LEDs should do the job in a very simple circuit:

Ā--- - battery + ---- CLD |> ----- LED ---- LED ---- LED .... ---

| Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā|

Ā----------------------------------------------------------------

So something like a 12V camera battery should be able to drive up to 3 white 3V LEDs or a few more of the lower-voltage colored variety, a 9V "transistor battery" should be able to drive 2.

And it lends itself to experiment too... you can hood up the battery and the CLD and one LED, and it should work fine (since it's current-limited it will limit voltage too), and you can hook up two, and you can hook up three, and if you hook up too many they just won't light up, no harm done.

Best Regards.

Party political WHAT arrogance from Julian Cole in his column in The Press of May 29. His comments are an insult to everyone who voted for Ukip.
His column every Thursday should carry a warning: "This is a party political broadcast on behalf of the Labour party."

Editor's note: As it happens, Julian tells us that he voted Green in the European elections.

Brand new pair of Ford head lamp bucket assemblies, these fit the 1940 Ford passenger car and the 1940-1941 Ford Pickup truck. These headlight system mounts a flat quartz halogen headlamp inside of the headlight bucket. With this kit, a clear beam of light shines through the outer lens onto the road (much brighter than your stock lights!). The bucket assemblies come completely assembled with the flat halogen headlamp already mounted onto a special aiming bracket that will keep it perfectly positioned. The turn signal socket and bulb are also already mounted inside the bucket (at the top). The turn signal will be seen clearly through the lens in the headlight door. These lights are complete with the wiring pigtails, mounting screws, and gaskets.
**This is a PAIR.

The week before the Jewish High Holidays, two airplanes from Ethiopia brought 450 people on 'aliyah' – immigration to Israel. Detroit's Rev. DeeDee Coleman was invited to be on board one of those planes.
This Sunday, October 6 at 1:30 pm (immediately following services), Rev. Coleman will be sharing photos and reflections from her participation as a witness to the airlift of Ethiopian Jews. She has graciously opened her church to those who wish to hear about her journey. Russell Street Baptist Church, 8700 Chrysler Drive, Detroit, MI 48211(313-875-1615)
The Reverend Dr. Deedee Coleman Travels to Ethiopia
With a special delegation of top Israeli officials to witness "Operation Dove's Wings', the transport and arrival of 450 Ethiopian Jews to Israel
The Reverend Dr. Deedee M. Coleman, Pastor of Detroit's Russell Street Missionary Baptist Church,travelled to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia by invitation of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (IFCJ)in late August, to witness what is believed to be the last airlift of Ethiopian Jews to Israel. [Previous airlifts dating back to 1985 have brought Israel's Ethiopian Jewish population to over 100,000 today.]
Reverend Coleman travelled to Ethiopia for the opening ceremony to give honor to the Ethiopian aliyah, the returning of Jews to their homeland. The ceremony was attended by leading Israeli officials of Israel's parliament, the Knesset, along with IFCJ and Jewish Agency for Israel officials. Reverend Coleman was honored to be the only African American Baptist minister on this historic trip.
Reverend Coleman boarded one of two planes carrying 450 Ethiopian immigrants that arrived at Ben-Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv on Wednesday, August 28, 2013. The immigrants were then greeted by relatives already living in Israel.
Once in Israel, a closing ceremony took place with heart-warming remarks by Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein of IFCJ, sponsor of the airlift, Ethiopian Jewish immigrants cheering – The People of Israel Lives, Am Yisrael Chai as they realized that their prayers had been answered in a return to Israel.
"I was overwhelmed, as I witnessed the fulfillment of Scripture taking place in the lives of these precious people. I am a witness to these events and do cherish the kindness that I have received and continue to receive from the Israeli government. I am also impressed in the way Israel has taken its people in, to welcome them home and give them a better hope for tomorrow", said Reverend Coleman.
Reverend Coleman first travelled to Israel in 2007 with the American Israel Education Foundation (AIEF) and continues to host leaders on trips to Israel annually, visiting the Holy Land as well as educating persons on Israel's security and safety, along with the regional issues that affect Israel and United States.
Russell Street Baptist Church in Detroit honors its Pastor to be asked to witness such an historic event.

|Audit of Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment Program's Self-Employment Services at Eastern and Central Area Offices
|Report Number:
|Issue Date:
|VA Office:
|Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA)
|Report Author:
|Office of Audits and Evaluations
|Report Type:
|Audits, Reviews & Evaluations
|Release Type:
|OIG evaluated the effectiveness of VBA's Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment Program (VR&E). Self-employment services is part of that program. We conducted this audit to determine how effectively these services plans and provides help to veterans. We found VBA needs to strengthen management of these services to ensure its area offices effectively plan and provide the self-employment services needed for veterans to successfully operate their own businesses. VR&E misidentified veterans participating in self-employment services and didn't record all program expenses. Insufficient oversight of data resulted in inadequate resources needed to accomplish program goals. Program staff were unaware of the correct criteria for rehabilitating veterans. VBA guidance was not clear when providing services to veterans with established businesses or when approving plan expenses. We recommended improving management and oversight for self-employment services by establishing procedures to ensure approvals for these services are appropriate, data collection on program operations is accurate, performance measures are implemented and staff training is conducted.

Barack Obama is practicing a sneaky way of firing people from their jobs without them knowing until after he's reelected. His labor department is, in effect, bribing defense contractors to wait until after the November election to announce the certain layoffs that will occur as a result of Obama's sequestration.
Here's how it works. The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act generally requires employers with at least 100 employees to announce to employees that they will be fired 60 days before they are let go if the layoffs are reasonably foreseeable. Because of the looming sequestration, courtesy of Obama, mass layoffs at defense plants are expected to occur after January 1. But 60 days before that would mean the announcement would come just before the election, and Obama would have to deal with thousands of disgruntled former employees.

This scarf is a reissued edition of a square from Christian Dior's 1950s collections. The vintage print (also available in black), features Monsieur Dior's handwritten signature.
It's taken nearly 161 years but the house of Bally has finally introduced a line of sunglasses and optical frames. Designed by international eyewear group TWC L'Amy in collaboration with Bally creative directors Michael Herz and Graeme Fidler, the vintage-inspired collection features the company's family crest as well as its mountain goat motif and red and white stripe.
British leathergoods designer Bill Amberg considers his studio an ideas factory that works in leather. Over the years, he has created luggage for Aston Martin, limited edition leather covers for Penguin books, and collaborated with Dunhill. The Bill Amberg grey messenger bag, crafted in soft waxed leather, features press stud fastenings and has adjustable side straps.
I think of Lydia Pearson and Pamela Easton as quiet achievers. Their fashion business Easton & Pearson, established in Brisbane in 1989, supplies more than 100 stores worldwide in 24 countries. The latest resort range is as much art as fashion, with graphic, vibrant colours and flowers.
The Borgioni range of jewellery is designed by mother and daughter team Rhonda and Tiffany Bartolacci, who have merged bohemian and rock 'n roll sensibilities to create a collection of tactile items.

Dr Bijou Blick, a community pediatrics medical officer, said: "[Immigration authorities] are putting this particular family in an impossible situation.
"You're making them have a Solomon's choice, where you're saying this child has to either never see its mother again, or never see its father again."
Meanwhile another doctor has disputed the decision by immigration officials to return a sick asylum seeker, who had been treated at a Brisbane hospital, to the Nauruan detention centre.
The 36-year-old Afghan man, Ali Juma Ahmadi, was flown to Wesley Hospital suffering from back and leg pain a few weeks ago. On Friday Mr Ahmadi, who has blood clots in his stomach and right leg, was cleared to return to Nauru. He was flown back on Sunday, despite having collapsed earlier in the day.
Dr Theo Van Lieshout said yesterday that Mr Ahmadi had been hyperventilating. "Any other person in the same medical circumstances probably wouldn't have been advised to take air travel," he said.

E83 Summary
What is an E83?
The BMW X3 is a compact luxury crossover SUV (though BMW advertises it as an SAV, or Sport Activity Vehicle) produced by the German automaker BMW. It is based on the BMW 3-Series automobile platform. The X3 3.0i won the Canadian Car of the Year Best New Sport Utility Vehicle award for 2005.
SIRIUS on the E83
BMW offers SIRIUS satellite radio on the E83 as a dealer installed option, however, dealers have been known to charge upwards of $800 to install this option. X3 owners can order the BMW SIRIUS tuner and install it themselves (there are a lot of DIY install guides the in the E83 forum). The tuner with wiring kit is $550 from places like Circle BMW (http://www.circlebmw.com/parts/sirius/sirius.htm). The tuner installs in a discrete location and owners control everything through the standard radio interface. If you want a fully integrated SIRIUS, this is the only solution. If you don't want to install it yourself, you can get the dealer to roll their price into your monthly payment.
The BMW SIRIUS solution requires that 2004-2006 E83s are equipped with the option SA-693 "Satellite pre-wire." 2007+ X3s have satellite pre-wiring standard.

On the public :: "I should just put a bulls-eye on my back. If I stay home and take care of my wife and my kids, then I'm a loafer, not a good father. If I try to have a career, nobody thinks I am caring for my family. I can't win."
On rumors :: "You'll never see that guy they say cheats or goes partying all the time. If I'm there and I'm out at a club, I am there for a reason. I am not there to mingle with women. All that shit is done to me. I did that when I was 21."
On his kids :: "It's completely unfair when a child is brought into this world an now he's already looked at like a prince. My kids are going to have to learn what a real job is, what life is. You don't have it easy with me. Period….My kids are going to work at Taco Bell, dammit."
On his image :: "I wish people would ask me about my career. Usually it's, 'How's the wife and kids?' Not that I mind; that's my pride and joy. But it would be nice for people to look at me like an artist. The day they judge me as an artist, a CEO, as somebody, not Britney Spears' husband, that's the day I am looking forward to."
On his media conspiracy theory :: "The same day Dick Cheney shoots someone, they've got me on the cover of MSN [Web site]. It's life they're diverting attention from what's really going on."
Ask about the career, people!! It's about his CAREER!!! Kevin Federline, 28, is featured in the May 2006 issue of Item magazine, out June 5th. More pictures in the gallery! Do you prefer clean-shaven K-fed of scruffy K-fed? Both? Or maybe neither?

Obama Dominates Top of Online-Ad Charts
A Mitt Romney campaign ad broke into the top five most-watched online political spots, but President Barack Obama's videos continued to dominate the top of the charts, with the economy featuring prominently in their pitches.
At the top of the chart for the week ended Sunday was the Obama campaign's "Go" ad. The spot was rolled out a week ago following the official launch of Mr. Obama's re-election bid, and aims to remind voters of how deep a slump the country was suffering in 2008, before Mr. Obama took over.
The Romney campaign's new "Silence" ad juxtaposes statements by Mr. Obama with recent weak employment news, and TV commentators' remarks — in a move to make the case that the "Obama economy" isn't working for a lot of Americans who can't find a job or who have stopped looking.

I read Sharon Salzberg's book on Metta meditation when it came out back in the 1990s. I see she has a number of books on the subject. Is it the case where you've read the first book, then you've read them all or are the others worth reading?
Are there any other high quality books on Metta meditation out there?

A senior White House official said Sunday on Face the Nation that President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama would attend a memorial service Wednesday at Fort Hood for victims of last week's shooting on post.
"It's a terrible tragedy what happened at Fort Hood," White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer said during an appearance on CBS' Face the Nation. "The president and first lady send their thoughts and prayers out to the victims and families and everyone on the base, and they're going to actually travel down on Wednesday to the memorial ceremony."
The Obamas were already scheduled to begin a two-day trip to Texas on Wednesday to take part in Democratic campaign fundraisers in Houston. On Thursday, they are both scheduled to travel to the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum in Austin, where the president is to deliver remarks at a civil rights summit to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Civil Rights Act.
The Obamas also attended a memorial on post after the 2009 attack.
Fort Hood officials are expected to release details about Wednesday's memorial service today or Monday.

CMC Industrial Electronics Introduces AdaptaNet© Automatic Fault Detection and Isolation System For HazMon Networks
Date Posted: December 17, 2012
Minneapolis, MN—CMC Industrial Electronics Ltd, just made its industry leading HazMon systems even better by introducing AdaptaNet - a fully automatic fault detection and isolation system for HazMon networks.
AdaptaNet is the world's first automatic fault detection system for HazMon networks.
It immediately detects and isolates a faulty sensor from the network without the faulty sensor disrupting the whole network.
Detection time is immediate and the system is instantly back and operating normally with the faulty sensor isolated from the bus network.
CMC's intrinsically safe systems are plug-and-play making it very easy to replace faulty sensors and resume safe operation immediately – no special tools or training required.
AdaptaNet is a drop in replacement for CMC's tough, water resistant NEMA 4X field interconnect boxes.
As a result, CMC's hardened digital network is less susceptible to water ingress leading to nuisance alarms, has a lower cost to install with the HazMon-in-a-box kits, and has a lower cost of ownership than legacy systems.
AdaptaNet is a critical component in this family of products and makes the operation and maintenance of CMC's HazMon systems even easier than before enabling operators to run safer, more efficient elevator operations.
CMC Industrial Electronics was established in 1997, and manufactures high quality, economical HazMon products through innovation, ability and effectiveness.
CMC has supplied products for many leading industrial clients; the primary industry being grain handling.
Products include: shaft speed slow-down detection, bearing temperature, belt alignment, vibration monitoring, grain cable thermocouple interface modules, infrared sensors, relative humidity, as well as easy-to-use touch screen interface controllers.
It is the mission of CMC Industrial Electronics to protect human lives and property.
For more information on AdaptaNet and other CMC products call 888-421-4425, email firstname.lastname@example.com or visit our website at www.cmciel.com.
