The ripple effect from Eastman Kodak's bankruptcy filing Thursday extends in many directions: Employees are bracing again for layoffs, retirees are fretting over health care coverage, and the photography pioneer's biggest creditors and stakeholders _ from movie studios and big-box retailers to the CEO _ are preparing to take the hit financially.
Mayor Tom Richards portrayed the decision to seek Chapter 11 reorganization as more of a psychological blow than an economic one to Rochester, where Kodak had been the engine of commerce for most of the company's 132 years. Its payroll in the medium-size city along Lake Ontario has slipped below 7,000 from a peak of 60,400 in 1983.
"We have a broader-based economy which is no longer dependent on one industry and one company," Richards said. "We're better off for it. Not what I wish this would happen, but it has happened, and we're just going to need to deal with it."
Kodak, the company that brought photography to the masses at the dawn of the 20th century and was known all over the world for its Brownie and Instamatic cameras and its yellow-and-red film boxes, was brought down first by Japanese competition and then by its inability to keep pace with the lightning shift from film to digital technology over the past decade.
The company said it has secured $950 million in financing from Citigroup and expects to continue operating and pay its employees while in bankruptcy.
In the meantime, Kodak will try to execute its plan for recovery. Since 2005, it has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into new lines of inkjet printers that are finally on the verge of turning a profit. Home photo printers, high-speed commercial inkjet presses, software and package printing are viewed as Kodak's new core.
Kodak's executives are hoping the printer, software and packaging businesses will more than double in size by 2013 and account by then for 25 percent of its revenue, or nearly $2 billion. The rest of the company's revenue comes mainly from traditional film, disposable cameras, photographic paper and chemicals.
Kodak got out of the business of making film cameras years ago, and its digital cameras are losing money.
The long-expected move to seek protection from its creditors was "a necessary step and the right thing to do for the future of Kodak," CEO Antonio Perez said.
One strength Kodak can take into a restructuring effort is its powerful brand name, said Eli Lehrer, who heads the nonprofit Heartland Institute's Center on Finance, Insurance and Real Estate in Washington. However, "that doesn't necessarily translate to people keeping their jobs, or stockholders keeping anything," Lehrer added.
Photographer Steve McCurry said the prospect that Kodak might soon fade into history is upsetting to huge numbers of Americans who remember not that long ago when its dominance in film photography was indisputable.
"That's just the nature of the world we live in," McCurry said. "We all die. Civilizations all die and famous corporations, too. Yeah, it's a sad occasion, but there's great, great respect for American brands that have endured for so long."
Best known for a Kodachrome portrait of a green-eyed Afghan refugee girl that landed on the cover of National Geographic in 1985, McCurry relied heavily on "probably the best color film ever made" for all but the last five years of a 36-year career and was entrusted with the very last spool of Kodachrome manufactured in 2009.
Veteran employees said they are scared the crisis could sink careers that somehow dodged so many previous cutbacks. And Kodak's 25,000 retirees in Rochester fear that already diminished health benefits could disappear altogether.
"Because it's unfunded and discretionary, Kodak can actually say tomorrow that we're going to drop health care," said Bob Volpe, who runs a Kodak retiree association with 3,000 members.
The company did not rule out the possibility of layoffs. It also resolved to "fairly resolve legacy liabilities," which suggests that it may try to cut its retiree health care costs, estimated at $132 million in 2011.
Kodak stock dropped in over-the-counter trading Thursday and closed at just 30 cents per share after the bankruptcy filing prompted the New York Stock Exchange to delist the securities. Perez alone owns 6 million shares.
As for the company's creditors, they could be forced by the courts under Chapter 11 to take less than they are owed.
Around Rochester, Kodak and other faded titans like Xerox Corp. and eyewear maker Bausch & Lomb are already overshadowed in the city's employer rankings by the University of Rochester and grocery-store chain Wegmans, which together employ around 34,000 people.
William Johnson Jr., a three-term mayor who served through 2005, said he shudders to think of Rochester without Kodak.
"If that corporate headquarters building all of a sudden goes dark, God, that will cast a huge shadow on this community," said Johnson, who now teaches public policy at Rochester Institute of Technology. "Even in its weakened state, Kodak still has tremendous influence over local affairs. And 7,000 jobs would be awfully hard to replace."

GI Dynamics announces initial, positive results from a clinical trial evaluating 12 months of treatment with the EndoBarrier™ Gastrointestinal Liner. The first group of patients from this trial have successfully completed 12 months, or 52 weeks, of treatment with the EndoBarrier Gastrointestinal Liner, an important milestone in the clinical development of this non-surgical therapeutic. The clinical trial was led by Eduardo G. Moura, M.D., Ph.D., director of endoscopy, digestive surgery department, Hospital das Clinicas, University of Sao Paulo, Brazil.
"This is a landmark achievement for the EndoBarrier and GI Dynamics" "Successful 12-month implantation with the EndoBarrier is a clinically important achievement and a promising indicator that this non-surgical medical device may offer our patients an innovative new solution to simultaneously combat both type 2 diabetes and obesity," commented Keith Gersin, M.D., FACS, chief of bariatric surgery at Carolinas Medical Center and chief medical director of GI Dynamics. "The data we have seen previously in patients treated for up to six months is very compelling, and these data from 52 weeks of treatment further extend the potential impact and efficacy of this approach. I look forward to the full data set from this trial as the rest of the patients complete the 12-month mark."
The 52-week trial was designed to evaluate the EndoBarrier Gastrointestinal Liner in 22 obese patients with type 2 diabetes. The primary endpoints in the trial include improvement in type 2 diabetes and excess weight loss. To date, the first six of the 22 subjects implanted with the EndoBarrier have successfully reached the 52-week endpoint.
The average baseline weight for the subjects was 270.5 lbs (± 22.2 1bs), average baseline HbA1c was 9.3% (± 0.8%) and subjects were taking oral anti-diabetes medications. Top-line results for the first six subjects show that on average patients achieved the following results:
- HbA1c decrease of 2.5% (± 0.6%) with 5 of the 6 getting below 7.0%
- 25.9 % excess body weight loss (± 4.6%)
- 35.5 lbs weight loss (± 9 lbs)
"This is a landmark achievement for the EndoBarrier and GI Dynamics," said Stuart A. Randle, chief executive officer of GI Dynamics. "I want to congratulate and thank our technical, clinical and scientific teams for their efforts which have led us to a successful 12-month device design and the meaningful results we have observed clinically to-date. We believe that EndoBarrier is well positioned to provide a transformative alternative to pharmaceutical and surgical methods for treating type 2 diabetes and obesity. This milestone further enhances the potential clinical value of the EndoBarrier offering."
The EndoBarrier, a non-surgical therapy to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity, received European CE mark approval for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity in December 2009. Clinical trials to date involving more than 280 patients have demonstrated the significant weight loss and diabetes improvement achieved with the EndoBarrier Gastrointestinal Liner.
Type 2 diabetes affects an estimated 21 million Americans and 200 million people worldwide. According to the World Health Organization, type 2 diabetes comprises 90% of people with diabetes around the world, and is largely the result of excess body weight. Type 2 diabetes can lead to significant health problems including cardiovascular disease, retinopathy, neuropathy and nephropathy.
GI Dynamics is defining a new class of metabolic treatment options that fit between pharmaceutical regimens and surgery, called non-surgical therapeutics. Non-surgical therapeutics are designed to eliminate or reduce the risks and side effects associated with pharmaceutical regimens as well as surgical options. This new class of treatment can be performed easily and quickly without any incisions, thus reducing patient anxiety and recuperative time.
Unlike traditional pharmaceutical approaches, non-surgical therapeutics remove the burden of dose regimen compliance from the patient. Additionally, non-surgical therapeutics hold the potential to improve the patient's overall health, by providing the control necessary to institute lifestyle and nutritional improvements to maintain therapeutic effect, while being easily removed once the desired effect has been attained and lifestyle changes implemented.
The patented EndoBarrier Gastrointestinal Liner is an advanced investigational, non-surgical medical device based on the EndoBarrier Technology platform for treating type 2 diabetes and obesity. The EndoBarrier Gastrointestinal Liner is placed in the GI tract endoscopically (via the mouth) to create a barrier between food and the wall of the intestine.
Physicians believe that preventing food from coming into contact with the intestinal wall may alter the activation of hormonal signals that originate in the intestine, thus mimicking the effects of a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedure without surgery.
A growing body of preclinical and clinical evidence supports the potential for EndoBarrier Gastrointestinal Liner to change the treatment landscape for people living with type 2 diabetes, obese people at risk for type 2 diabetes, and people with severe weight problems.

The NJ Youth ChalleNGe Academy is exactly that, a challenge. It is not an easy path, but it can be made easier if you enter with a positive attitude and a strong will to learn. If you are not accustomed to physical training, it is recommended that you begin some sort of physical regime before you come to the academy to help ease your transition.
The first two weeks at the academy are known as the Acclimation Phase. For some candidates, these two weeks will be the most difficult of the twenty-two week course of study. The military aspect of the academy will be emphasized during Acclimation and the training will be intense. Students will be taken out of their comfort zones. A lot of time will be spent learning military-style Drill and Ceremonies, Physical Training and attending structured classes. You will have very little, if any, personal time. You will not have access to a telephone during the Acclimation Phase, however, you may send and receive mail from your first day through to graduation.
All of the candidates who graduate from the Acclimation Phase will advance to the ChalleNGe phase of the academy. It is at this time that candidates become cadets. At Week #3 of the academy, cadets begin attending full-day academic classes. Tutoring is available for cadets who need extra help in specific areas.
Following is the routine for a typical day at the NJ Youth ChalleNGe Academy:
Wake up at 5:00 AM and make your bunk
Take care of hygiene, get dressed and do details by 5:40 AM
Physical Training between 5:45 AM - 7:00 AM
Move to chow (breakfast): 7:05 AM - 8:15 AM
Class begins at 8:35 AM
Company Formation from: 10:06 AM - 10:21 AM

There's a really good reason why many parents try to avoid bringing their youngsters to the grocery store with them. Supermarkets use smart product positioning. They put the brightly colored boxes of snacks and other bad stuff like bacon products on the ends of the aisles so the kidlets will beg and plead for them. And it's really hard to say "no," especially to a child. But the good news is that you can apply Dr. Gullo's methods of food substitution, not deprivation, to your entire family's diet and they may not even notice a difference. Instead of fattening bacon, choose fake or alternative bacon products. Your skinny jeans will thank you, and you'll be all set for the possible bacon shortage in 2013. Check out this list of fakin' bacon to get started on your weight loss.
Homemade Vegan Bacon (This protein-packed, heart-healthy bacon is made from adzuki beans and hulled buckwheat cook it with zero-calorie spray and just a drop of oil instead of the amount called for)
Tempeh Bacon (Tempeh is vegetarian; it mimics the texture of most meats well, but it's a little crumbly for bacon use it in place of bacon bits in salads or use it for a vegetarian BLT)
Veggie Bacon (Most supermarkets now stock a decent selection of veggie bacon products; Morningstar is a popular brand)
Tofu Bacon (Try this recipe to make your own tofu bacon, but try baking it in the oven instead of frying it to cut down on the amount of fat)
Turkey Bacon (If tofu bacon sounds like sacrilege to you, compromise and try turkey bacon products instead, but remember to read the nutrition labels and select a brand lower in sodium)
Smoked Salmon Bacon (You might need to order these specialty "bacon" products online, but the extra hassle and cost is worth it; not only is it much lower in fat and calories, it also has healthy omega-3 fatty acids)
Prosciutto (If you absolutely must eat something that comes from a pig, select prosciutto instead of bacon for fewer calories and less fat; however, it's still not exactly healthy, so if you tend to binge on bacon, go for the fake vegetarian stuff instead)

TAMPA — As the season progressed, one thing Tampa Catholic never lacked was confidence. The Crusaders didn't question their ability to make it to the program's first state championship game.
But with every yard gained by Jacksonville Trinity Christian in the second half of Friday night's 20-11 Class 3A semifinal loss, the Tampa Catholic sideline grew quieter, and the Crusaders' heads sunk lower.
Tampa Catholic went into halftime ahead by four after a 30-yard field goal by Michael Sarafianos, a 1-yard touchdown run from quarterback Kyle Ploucher and a two-point conversion run by Ben Reed.
But the Crusaders had just 18 yards of offense in the third quarter. Meanwhile, the Conquerors rushed for 159 of their 283 total rushing yards and scored two touchdowns.
A 49-yard run from Jalin Buie early in the second half set up a 2-yard touchdown run by Gage Morrell. With 2:59 left in the third quarter, Chris Barr took off for a 67-yard touchdown.
The Crusaders began the final period of its season with three straight incomplete passes from Ploucher.
T.J. Harrell, noticing his team's desperation, took off on a 38-yard dash toward the end zone. His legs heavy, Harrell was tripped up 15 yards short of the goal line. The Crusaders then saw Sarafianos miss a 27-yard field goal attempt.
"Heads got down," Harrell said. "I tried to pick them up on the run, but we didn't capitalize on it, so they went back down."
And down they remained.
Trinity Christian, though it didn't score, sustained a lengthy drive as the minutes ticked off, and the Crusaders got the ball back with less than two minutes to go.
With 1:36 on the clock, Ploucher ran for 13 yards and a first down on fourth and 10, but he took a hard hit at midfield and laid motionless for several seconds on the ground.
Coach Mike Gregory called for the stretcher but Ploucher, unwilling to be carted off the field in his last game as a Crusader, shooed it away.
"All he said was: 'Let me walk off. Let me walk off.' We almost didn't let him," Gregory said. "He's a warrior."
Ploucher, who had 105 passing yards, left the game and did not return.
Later in the same drive an illegal hit call against the Trinity defense helped to move the ball as far as the 15-yard line for another chance at the end zone in the final seconds.
But just like their state title goals, the pass fell incomplete.
As the Crusaders huddled on the field with the Conquerors celebrating their state championship berth against Clearwater Central Catholic right behind them, coaches tried to ease the disappointed players' minds.
"Nobody expected you to get this far," someone said.
Everyone else might not have expected it. But the Crusaders themselves guaranteed that, and more.
"The closer you are," Gregory said, "the more it hurts."

Too few snooker tournaments?
Steve Davis and Stephen Hendry call for a shake-up at the top level of professional snooker as cash crisis looms.
Are there too few events in the snooker calendar?
This debate is now closed.
As the new snooker season gets underway Davis and Hendry have joined forces to demand the removal of those in charge of professional snooker.
This season's calendar shows just six ranking tournaments, the smallest number since the 1986-87 season.
And the former world champions are calling for an extraordinary general meeting next month to replace the board of directors of the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association.
Is snooker in need of a major shake-up?
There are too few tournaments that qualify for world ranking points, but also something needs to be done about the format of the tournaments. It becomes boring to see the world No. 1 and No. 2 playing in the finals each time. With the exception of this weeks LG cup of course which I think is a fluke.
Mark Sandford, UK
Snooker should be televised all over the world so that its popularity is recognised by those that have never taken much interest in the game. If there were tournaments played in Australia I'm sure others would take notice and start to play.
Snooker is the most popular sport next to football but by the amount of TV time given you would think it was the most unpopular! If snooker is to progress forward then snooker needs to be shown LIVE - yes the whole tournament. After all there are enough channels now!
Snooker needs a shake up and there are not enough tournaments shown on television. There are too many players chasing too few prizes, and they can turn professional all too easily. They should bring back the old standards when players had to prove themselves by winning on a regular basis on the amateur circuit.
There will be little incentive for major sponsors until the number of ranking tournaments is significantly increased. Overseas players will be more interested in moving to the UK to play when the ranking opportunities increase. The current administrators should go.
The more snooker on TV the better; this will bring younger people into the game. Steve Davis and Hendry are the only two people that want to do something about it, if all the pros did this then something would have to happen.
I am amazed that it could be suggested that a player should be penalised for being slow. Snooker is a game for the individual and needs total focus. If time became an issue it would lose its appeal. We don't need speed merchants in this game, I see shots fairly quickly and sometimes get frustrated but that's the game, leave well alone please.
I have to agree with the grand master Steve Davis and Stephen Hendry. The talent with which snooker has today is phenomenal and the exposure the sport had during the Nineties has not done it any justice. The sport has failed to move with the times.
I strongly believe that those responsible for the marketing are to blame for this. Snooker has taken a backward step globally in my opinion since Steve Davis was world champion, when snooker was at its best.
The solution is to possibly take a look at sports that are getting the exposure, the prize money with which the winner gets may be a mark, players now should be earning at least £500,000 as first prize.
There should definitely be more tournaments!! With only six ranking events, how can that be a true reflection of the top players?? A player could be the world number one by playing in just the six tournaments and doing well and you may have someone out there play every single tournament and not be as high!!
There are too few tournaments available at present. There are thousands of aspiring players in the world right now; these players are finding it hard to make a living when it seems to be a very short season. Also the TV coverage in the Southern hemisphere is absolutely abysmal.
If they put cue sports in the Commonwealth and Olympic Games the growth in cue sports will shy rocket thus leading to more tournaments, more players and more fun equalling more great viewing.
There are only four tournaments shown over the whole season - LG Cup, UK Championship, B&H Masters and the Embassy World Championship. Snooker is ever growing in popularity, so why don't they televise some of the other tournaments?
Snooker remains one of the most thrilling of televised sports. It is absurd that it should face this sort of cash crisis when money-drainers like Formula One are descending into a pit of boredom.
I have one message for potential sponsors out there: snooker is one of the few games on TV that keeps me glued to the screen. I don't play snooker, I'm no expert, but I can recognise knife-edge entertainment when I see it, and that's what snooker gives.
There are too few tournaments this season and of the few that there are, the majority are in the north. What ever happened to using venues such as Plymouth Pavilions and Bournemouth International Centre, not to mention the more recent usage of the Brighton Centre? WSA need to get their act together, find sponsors and stop wasting money. If other sports can do, why can't they??!!
I agree there should be more snooker tournaments, and I also feel there should be more TV coverage of the snooker. With all the technology available, why can't we have complete ball by ball, frame by frame coverage of each and every game in a tournament?
Watching all the matches improves the whole tournament and really makes it exciting to follow. I hope this will encourage you to have more tournaments and to improve coverage.
I live in Plymouth and I always watched the snooker when it came down here, without fail. I miss it very much. Sadly, it all seems to come down to television contracts and money!
I am very disappointed with the number of tournaments now as I feel snooker had just started to become a lot more popular with younger people than ever before!
Well done to Stephen Hendry and Steve Davis for finally starting to sort out this problem. The current board has no consideration whatsoever for the players and I am happy that these top quality players are going to step in.
Yes, I can see the point that Davis and Hendry are making. It must be a pain trying to scrape by on a couple of million quid a year. All that chalk to buy and so forth. What a nightmare. Can't these poor guys get income support, meals on wheels, free flu-jabs and Red Cross food parcels?
How on earth do they cope, sitting around for months on end, waiting for the next tournament to start? What a terrible way to choose to spend your life...
Snooker is a pub sport, which is fun to play but normally tedious to watch. These players should get real jobs and stop whining.
I think an EGM is necessary to remove the current board. The current board have acted like spoilt little children and they are on the verge of making the professional game bankrupt.
Three years ago 110 Sport offered to sponsor three or four tournaments in a deal worth £3.3 million. How any governing body can refuse this is completely beyond me. Now world snooker refuses another £2.5 million initial funding from WSG for this season. I think enough is enough it's time for a change. Snooker should be on the level of golf and tennis.

Applies To: Windows Server 2016
This article describes the default AD FS behavior for how often users have to provide credentials before being prompted again, as well as the configuration settings that allow you to customize this behavior.
Registered devices
After providing credentials for the first time, by default users with registered devices get single sign on for a maximum period of 90 days, provided they use the device to access AD FS resources at least once every 14 days. If they wait 15 days after providing credentials, users will be prompted for credentials again.
The device usage window (14 days by default) is governed by the AD FS property DeviceUsageWindowInDays (Set-AdfsProperties -DeviceUsageWindowInDays).
The maximum single sign on period (90 days by default) is governed by the AD FS property PersistentSsoLifetimeMins (Set-AdfsProperties -PersistentSsoLifetimeMins).
Non-registered devices
For non-registered devices, the single sign on period is determined by the Keep Me Signed In (KMSI) feature settings. KMSI is disabled by default and can be enabled by setting the AD FS property KmsiEnabled to True (Set-AdfsProperties -EnableKmsi $true).
With KMSI disabled, the default single sign on period is 8 hours. This can be configured using the property SsoLifetime. The property is measured in minutes, so its default value is 480.
With KMSI enabled, the default single sign on period is 24 hours. This can be configured using the property KmsiLifetimeMins. The property is measured in minutes, so its default value is 1440.
Enforcing multi factor authentication
It's important to note that, while providing relatively long periods of single sign on, AD FS will prompt for additional authentication (multi factor authentication) when a previous sign on was based on primary credentials and not MFA, but the current sign on requires MFA. This is regardless of SSO configuration. AD FS, when it receives an authentication request, first determines whether or not there is an SSO context (such as a cookie) and then, if MFA is required (such as if the request is coming in from outside) it will assess whether or not the SSO context contains MFA. If not, MFA is prompted.

San Diego CA (SPX) Jul 16, 2008
Researchers at San Diego State University have developed a new concept for improving MEMS accelerometer tunability. This method can increase wide-band tunability with ranges much larger than current practice, a significant improvement from the previously accepted 5-10%.
Greater tunability is necessary for new consumer and military products such as cell phones and gaming and GPS devices.
This new concept introduced by the University allows for better performance of accelerometers in current products and opens the door for innovative and emerging technologies that will require wide bandwidth resonant frequency tunability in MEMS accelerometers.
"Another benefit is that this new concept allows for an increase in the range of frequencies while reducing costs," said a professor at the University.
Research, innovation and application have always been key drivers for researchers at San Diego State University.
The University now seeks to license the technology to a private company in order to apply university research.

Then it came—a sound that made the boy "creep" all over it was so shuddery!
Be brave now, for my story is going to be truly sombre and shuddery.
As he approached her she observed a look on his face that gave her a shuddery chill.
Then with a quick, shuddery blink her eyes came flashing back wetly and wistfully to the unsolved, inscrutable face before her.
Slowly the warmth of the brandy died away, and, despite the heat, he felt chill and shuddery.
This particular news story seemed more frightening than most, but still it was taken more or less as shuddery entertainment.
Jerry began to feel sort of shuddery inside and his mouth puckered up the way it did when he felt like crying.
Age-old traditions invested it with shuddery horror for anyone born in the hot, luxuriant southern plains.
It was an unholy thing, no doubt, yet it held me with a shuddery fascination.
Doesn't it make you feel lovely and shuddery to belong to a Wicked Compact!

Ford Motor Co. launched production in mid-June of a 3-valve V-8 that has its first applications in Australia, Ward's has learned.
The new version of Ford's venerable modular V-8 family will be built on a medium-volume line (about 325,000 units) installed recently at Essex Engine in Windsor, Ont., Canada.
Kevin Bennett, Ford director-manufacturing and engineering, says the line replicates benchmark manufacturing processes used elsewhere, without specifying where. The new line is part of a 780,000-sq.-ft. (70,200-sq.-m) expansion that includes improvements to the auto maker's nearby Windsor Engine Plant.
The Barra, a new sedan built on Ford of Australia's Falcon platform, will benefit from the first batch of 3-valve engines, which feature displacements of either 4.6L or 5.4L. The Barra is scheduled to debut in October, followed by a truck application of the engine.
Ford declines comment on its 3-valve program — for Barra or any other vehicle, including the next-generation F-Series due next year. Bennett does say Windsor will build old and new engines simultaneously for some time, as vehicle lines await their turn to switch to upgraded engines. Ford touted its 3-valve program last year as a key technology for improving SUV performance and fuel economy.
Startup of the medium-volume line means Windsor Engine's low-volume line in a portion of the facility known as "the Annex" will be mothballed. But total employment levels at Windsor and Essex — both recent Shingo Prize winners — are at breakeven.
Meanwhile, a Ford source tells Ward's that a new V-6 — codenamed Cyclone — remains under development.
In addition, the auto maker reveals its global I-4 program will swallow eight other engine architectures during its life cycle. The I-4 small engine family will be built in four plants on three continents, with a production goal of 1.5 million units annually — or 20% of Ford's engine production worldwide by mid-decade.
The I-4 launched initially in late 2000 in Chihuahua, Mexico; followed by Dearborn Engine in early 2001; and then Hiroshima, Japan, to power the Mazda6. The final plant, Valencia, Spain, is being retooled to start production in November. Each identical plant has a mandate to supply its local market. Chihuahua no longer will supply engines for Focuses built in Europe once Ford begins to make its new I-4 next year in Valencia.

Miss Ellen Shine was born in Lisrobin, Newmarket, Co Cork, Ireland on 30 December 1891.1
She was the daughter of Timothy Shine (b. 1841), a farmer, and Mary Fitzgerald (b. 1851) who had married in 1874. Ellen was one of a total of nine children born into a Roman Catholic household. Her known siblings were: Margaret (b. 1881) Jeremiah (b. 1883), Timothy (b. 1887), John (b. 1888), James (b. 1889) and Kate (b. 1890).
The family appear on the 1901 census living in house 4, in west Lisrobin and by the time of the 1911 census they are living in house 8 in the same hamlet. Ellen had no stated profession but her mother and brothers were running the farm, her father having died the previous year.
Ellen decided the leave Ireland and join other siblings in New York. She boarded the Titanic in Queenstown as a third class passenger (ticket number 330968 which cost £7, 16s, 7d) destined for 205 Eighth Avenue, New York, the home of her brother Jeremiah.
Following Ellen's survival (possibly in lifeboat 13) and after her arrival in New York, she was taken to hospital with the other Irish survivors and was interviewed by a New York newspaper and it was reproduced in The Times on Saturday 20 April. Ellen said that when the accident happened they rushed to the upper deck where they were met by members of the crew who endeavoured to keep them in the steerage quarters. The women, however, rushed past these men and finally reached the upper deck. When they were informed that the boat was sinking most of them fell on their knees and began to pray. She saw one of the lifeboats and made for it. In it were already four men from steerage who refused to obey an officer who ordered them out. They were, however, finally turned out.
Ellen remained in New York for the rest of her life and was later married to John Callaghan (b. 23 September 1896), a New York fire-fighter who had emigrated from Cork in 1914 and they settled in New York City where they had two daughters, Julia and Mary. She rarely spoke of the Titanic during this time and her own daughters allegedly did not know that their mother was a survivor until the topic came up in school and they spotted her name on a passenger list.
Following the death of her husband in 1976 Ellen moved to Long Island to be closer to her family and since 1982 resided in a nursing home, Glengariff, in Glen Cove. She outlived both her daughters and in later years suffered from Alzheimer's which caused her to talk about the Titanic incessantly, much to the annoyance of those around her.
She celebrated her 101st birthday in 1992 and she passed away in hospital on 5 March 1993, being buried in St Charles' Cemetery, East Farmingdale, New York. She was the last living Titanic survivor of Irish background and her death came just one day after that of another Titanic survivor, Bertha Watt Marshall of Vancouver.
Ellen's granddaughter is Christine Callaghan Quinn (daughter of Mary Quinn, née Callaghan), a member of the Democrat Party of the USA who served as Speaker in the New York City Council and later ran for Mayor in the 2013 election.

- Some sources give a birthdate in 1894; when she joined the Titanic she claimed to be 18 and when she landed in New York she claimed to be 16. The 1901 and 1911 censuses also perpetuate the myth that she was younger, being listed as a 7-year-old on the earlier census and an 18-year-old on the latter. The date of 30 December 1891 comes from her birth certificate (registration date 14 March 1892).

Suspect eludes Freeport police by jumping into Buffalo Creek
Searchers were in Buffalo Creek on Monday morning looking for a man who jumped into the creek to get away from police in Freeport.
The water search was called off when a police dog from the Armstrong County District Attorney's Office found footprints coming out of the creek, Freeport police Chief Jeff Swiklinski said.
Swiklinski said an officer encountered the suspect shortly after 3:30 a.m. at a boat launch on the creek. The officer was following up on a call about a half-hour earlier in regard to a suspicious person knocking on windows at the senior citizen high-rise on Riverside Drive.
Swiklinski said the officer tried to talk with the man and get his identification, but said the man was hostile and uncooperative.
The man kept backing toward the boat launch saying, "I'm not going back to jail," and ran into the water.
The officer followed the man along the shore as far as he could before losing sight of him, Swiklinski said.
The man was not seen again.
Firefighters with the Freeport Volunteer Fire Department and Citizens Hose, from Harrison, searched the creek. Lower Kiski Emergency Services assisted with sonar.
Based on the footprints that were found, Swiklinski said they believe the man got out of the water, but that is not known for sure.

Leone, a 28-year-old infielder who has played second, third and short, hit .243 with seven homers and 38 RBIs in 87 games at Tacoma this past season. He was with the Mariners from April 9-14 but didn't play in any games.
"He is patient at the plate, but often takes one too many pitches and loses out on swinging at something he could drive," said a Mariners scout. "His hand injury this past year never allowed him to really go all out with the glove or with the bat."
Considered a team player, Leone may begin his career at Triple-A Portland but given his poise it is no inconceivable to see him on the Padres bench with his ability to play multiple positions. He also played outfield last year and is feeling more comfortable there.
"I knew who Seattle is keeping," said Leone of his decision to sign with San Diego. "I talked to my agent and he said (the Padres) showed the most interest. I received word that they might have a utility role open and it is probably a better shot with the Padres than the Mariners. They mentioned that if I play well in Spring Training I have a shot at the utility role."
Leone isn't considered great on the defensive side, but he will work with Fielding Instructor Tony Franklin to better his footwork, one key area that has limited him in the past.
While his hand injury limited this past season, Leone has displayed considerable power with 106 homers in 608 career minor league games coming into the year, which translates into about 26 over a 150-game season.
Leone proclaims that he is healthy and is looking forward to the battle ahead when spring training rolls around. He has familiarity with players in the system and feels he could add a lot to the team.
"I am fine now," Leone said. "They always said you need to get some rest and it was tough during the season to get that rest. I am excited."

 Don't anticipate working wireless. Don't expect any help from Maker Faire staff in setup or tear down. Really, the biggest thing I can say is that, despite the lack of response from Maker Faire staff, they really are on top of things. They just aren't communicative.

 What should we be expecting? Was there anything in particular that

Target: Indonesian Government
Goal: Encourage the Indonesian government to devote more resources towards the protection of religious minorities
Over the last few years, countless violent and offensive acts have been issued towards religious minorities in Indonesia. The intolerance is getting worse largely because the government has refused to devote enough time and resources to securing the safety of these religious minorities, and eradicating the bigotry at its source. The Indonesian government must make this a priority immediately.
In a large-scale report, Human Rights Watch outlined how this violence is increasing in both occurrence and aggressiveness. In the study, the group pointed out that "Indonesian monitoring groups have noted a steady increase in such attacks, one group finding 264 violent incidents over the past year."
The religious minorities taking the brunt of this brutality are the Ahmadiyahs, Christians, and Shia Muslims. Most of these attacks are coming from the hands of Islamic fanatics guided by the orthodoxy of Sunni Islamic practice. The violence ranges from personal attacks, to burning down houses of worship, or personal dwellings, of differing religious personnel.
Indonesian president, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, has not used any of his powers to shield these religious minorities from further persecution. At this point, little to no punishment has been dispersed among offenders. Most have gone unpunished, and consequently, left free to exhibit further prejudiced behavior.
Yudhoyono's own government is not even free from discriminatory behavior. The Indonesian Minister of Religion, Suryadharma Ali, went without reprimand after declaring that Indonesians "…have to ban the Ahmadiyah. It is obvious that Ahmadiyah is against Islam." He later asserted that all of the Shia members in Indonesia need to convert to Sunni.
The fact that these discriminatory sentiments are being proclaimed by a high-ranking Indonesian government official shows how institutionalized these prejudices are. If Yudhoyono hopes to foster a free democratic society, where his citizenry can all celebrate their own religious convictions without fear of violent confrontation, then he needs to act quickly and swiftly.
President Yudhoyono must make it known that religious intolerance will simply not be tolerated. This extends to members of his own government. Sign below to show support for the religious minority groups that are currently facing up against a bigoted, fanatical movement. Let Yudhoyono know that now is the time to cap the prejudice at its source, and devote resources towards the safety and security of his own citizens.
Dear President Yudhoyono,
The religious intolerance that has plagued your country over the last few years needs to be stopped. From the burning of places of worship, to violent attacks on innocent individuals, if you do not act now, your country may fall into an area of theocratic-based ruling that will lead to the degradation of the democracy that you desire.
On occasion, political leaders forget what their powers are for, or how they should use them; know this: you are where you are because your people wanted you there. They put you there, and in doing so, entrusted you with not only their lives, but the lives of their children.
This Sunni-led tirade cannot be permitted. If you hope to live up to the expectations of those who put you where you are, you need to stop it at its source. You cannot allow members of your own government to denounce certain religious sects, especially not if you hope to foster a free and open nation.
You've been granted this power for a reason. Don't think that this power is somehow yours by right. It's been given to you and with it you must aid those who gave you this power in the first place.

tube regeneration is a process through which emission can be somewhat resotred when a tube comes to the end of it's life. The actual process of regeneration and the amount of additional life which can be achieved various a lot from tube type to tube type.

|But it does say it is for Cathode Ray Tubes. Where the guy got the idea that it could be used to restore precious triodes and the like, are prolly just fantasy. If such a device existed don't ya think someone would have started a business by now and that thing looks pretty old. I mean cryogenics is popular enough imagine how well this business would do?

|I have some nos in box euro globe 45's with poisoned filaments. I wish I could find somebody I could trust enough to rejuvenate those. I plan to build an amp and try bake them for a day then run them in the amp in the hope they will come good.It does my head in that such tubes with new filaments cant work. Perhaps a current source on the filament might up the voltage until the filament resistance reduces.
|RE: Real or Snake Oil??, posted on July 30, 2012 at 07:10:28
The CRT process raises the filament voltage in steps for about 10-12 minutes to burn off unwanted residue on the cathode. I am not sure how to perform the same on an open filament type tube. The CRT raises the 6.3 volts in steps to about a peak of 10 volts for 5 minutes.
You could try one 45 tube & slowly raise the filament voltage to 4-4.5 volts for 5 minutes & retest the tube at standard filament operating voltage. Do not test the tube at higher than specified filament voltage.

Shares of Oracle (NASDAQ:ORCL) dropped more than 8% in Thursday morning trading after the company's quarterly results fell short of Wall Street expectations.
The software giant announced adjusted third-quarter EPS of 65 cents a shares. That missed the 66 cents a share analysts had expected. Sales disappointed as well, with Oracle posted $8.97 billion for the quarter, well below the $9.37 billion that Wall Street had predicted, Bloomberg noted.
Revenue from software licenses and subscriptions dipped to $2.33 billion, down 1.8% from last year. That also surprised analysts, who were looking for $2.55 billion. Sales of data storage systems and serves tumbled 23% from last year, down to $671 million. Analysts had projected hardware sales of $783 million.
Oracle competes with both smaller software rivals like Salesforce.com (NYSE:CRM) and larger software giants, including Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and SAP (NYSE:SAP).
Last month, Oracle's billionaire CEO Larry Ellison purchased an small Hawaiian airline to go with the lush tropical island he acquired last year.

Fact reports on two deaths at the fest:
Over at the Staffordshire site meanwhile, a man, named as 22 year old Timothy Brockhurst, died the early hours of yesterday morning. After being found in an unresponsive state in his tent, an on-site doctor attempted to resuscitate him but was unsuccessful. he was pronounced dead at 1am.
NME report that a second man died yesterday at a private party opposite the Hylands Park site in Chelmsford. A post-mortem examination has revealed that he died from head injuries.
From what we could find, all footage of the piss-incident has atrocious sound, owing to the thousands of screaming fans and super-not-fans. You can skip to around 2:15 for much of the action.
The 'Swagger Jagger' singer was performing at the festival's leg at Hylands Park, Chelmsford when she was struck by a bottle two songs into her set and left the stage. She later returned, however, and told the crowd:
"It's hard enough being up here, but it's not nice having bottles of piss chucked at you."

As you look for scholarships, financial aid and the perfect college fit, there are a lot of familiar resources. These include scholarship search engines, the federal student aid database and high school and college websites. But one useful source that plenty of students never think about is their state's office of higher education.
Checking out the office in your home state, as well as the states where you might go to college, should be part of your summer to-do list. Resources and the office's name vary by state. You can start with this list.
Wherever you go, look for links to student and family resources. Once you find those, focus on the following five valuable options.
[Follow these simple steps to maximize the summer scholarship search.]
1. Online guidance and planning tools: While websites differ, just about every state features online tools that can help you plan and pay for college. One of the best is Kentucky's KnowHow2GoKY site, which offers education planning advice for all ages.
The Iowa College Student Aid Commission's I Have A Plan site provides a wide view of everything from career exploration and test prep to financial aid and postgraduate activities.
Even if your state doesn't have a dedicated planning tool, it will likely have a student resource page, like this one from Massachusetts, where you can get started.
2. In-person and offline events: One advantage of these offices' local focus is that they can offer residents more face-to-face opportunities to connect and learn. The Minnesota Office of Higher Education will soon be supplementing its online tool set with "College Knowledge Month," a series of college planning and application events for high school seniors across the state.
The Maryland Higher Education Commission conducts monthly financial aid presentations at high schools and colleges. And higher education offices across the nation are often closely involved with College Goal Sunday efforts in January and February.
[Avoid making these costly college savings mistakes.]
3. Loan, grant and savings information: Most states offer education loans and grants to qualified students. These funds are usually managed by the higher education office, as are the states' college savings plans, known as 529 accounts. Minnesota provides a straightforward 529 website for students and parents, as well as offers a detailed look at the state's low interest rate SELF Loan program.
Washington's thorough state site covers all things 529 and features a wide array of grants and loans under the "Opportunity Pathways" banner.
4. Scholarship searches and applications: Washington also offers a unique resource called The WashBoard, which allows resident students to find scholarships from public and private-sector providers across the state. While this is the most ambitious search we've found, other states do feature online applications for government-funded programs or listings of statewide scholarships.
[Get advice on using scholarships as a college financial aid tool.]
5. Resources for military and veteran students: The U.S. Armed Forces provides a wide array of educational benefits to active-duty servicemen and women, reservists and veterans. But those benefits often come with confusing paperwork, restrictions or deadlines.
If you're a veteran or currently serving, your state higher education office can help you make sense of it all. Some states, like North Carolina and Massachusetts, have easy-to-find resources on their websites. If you can't find the information you need, reach out to your state's office.
No matter what your needs are, we recommend you contact state higher education offices with questions. Many are now active on social media, meaning a tweet, a Facebook message or an email can help you learn what you need to from these often-overlooked resources.

COMPLAINTS about overgrown verges continue as grass reaches new heights around the county.
Buckinghamshire County Council (BCC) decided this year to reduce the number of grass cuts from ten to six, so verges along the side of roads and paths have become overgrown.
Wycombe District and Princes Risborough Town Councillor, Gary Hall, has raised the many concerns of residents about the unsightly state of the grass to the council.
He said it was unacceptable to reach week 25 in the year and for Princes Risborough to have only had one urban grass cut from BCC, which he said is neglectful and badly received.
While district councillor Brian Pearce said the increasing grass length is also causing dangerous conditions for drivers.
He said he was travelling towards Stokenchurch from the direction of Mill Lane in Ibstone, when at the junction with the slip road coming from the M40, the grass is so long a driver could not see him coming and had to edge out gradually.
Cllr Pearce said: "I believe this grass in this particular location should be cut immediately before there is a major accident. It was only the fact that I was travelling fairly slowly because of trying to find a side turning. I am quite sure that there are other locations with a similar health and safety and road safety issue throughout the county."
Dorothy Lewis from Park Lane, Lane End said the grass outside her home has grown as high as her fence.
She said: "It has obliterated a new house sign we had to have put up because the doctor couldn't find us.
"I have lived here for 58 years and I haven't seen it like this. I don't know what I can do."
Transport for Buckinghamshire, who carry out the grass cutting, said urban grass cutting started on April 6 on a five week cycle between cuts and due to the rainfall and ideal growing condition experienced in April and early May the programme was approximately one week late.
They said the first cut always looks slightly untidy as they raise the flail on the mowers so as not to kill the grass on the first cut.
WDC, who cuts the grass on its land 12 times a year, and BCC said discussions are ongoing to potentially devolve the responsibility of grass cutting to parish and town councils.
Transport for Buckinghamshire said its responsibility was to keep highways in a safe condition, which requires it to cut grass around junctions that could impair the vision of motorists.
It added: "As we have a duty to carry this out on all roads we are responsible for, we are sometimes unable to cut surrounding areas of grass that could delay us from attending other areas that may pose potential safety issues."
Any problems with grass cutting, or to report a verge in need of cutting, can be done online: www.buckscc.gov.uk/telltfb

Lady Gaga Says Her Brazilian Waxing with Dr. Numb Boosts Her Singing Career
Brazilian waxing has become a staple need of the modern woman's grooming routine and yet many newbie's are reticent to take the plunge without first getting the inside scoop. Hold your questions till the end ladies. Brazilian waxing 101 is about to begin. Celebrities from Demi Moore to Lady Gaga have been credited with stoking the current Brazilian waxing craze.
Lady Gaga says her Brazilian waxing boosts her singing career. The Billboard Top Electronic Albums singer Lady Gaga, who is fond of having Brazilian waxing, claims the extreme Brazilian waxing can be painless by using Dr. Numb the numbing cream. She revealed to one of her interviews on media: "it makes my exposure better on media'. Believe me, the first time I did it, it was very painful but the second time, using Dr. Numb the numbing cream, it was great and amazing because it was totally painless and then it gets easier. The more you do it, the less hair grows back. But yeah, I love it. I swear by it "Every woman should try a Brazilian waxing once". Lady Gaga added to one of her interviews that Brazilian waxing makes her more confident to appear to the awards night and concerts most especially to her performance and also for her magazine cover like the annual 'Hot 100' issue of Rolling Stone in May 2009 featured a semi-nude Gaga, wearing only strategic placed plastic bubbles and because of her fashion style aside from having Brazilian wax, Lady Gaga attributes much of her early success as a mainstream artist to her gay fans and is considered to be a rising gay icon. Early in her career she had difficulty getting radio airplay, and stated, "The turning point for me was the gay community. I've got so many gay fans and they're so loyal to me and they really lifted me up. They'll always stand by me and I'll always stand by them. It's not an easy thing to create a fan base. It's probably slightly more daring, but the advantage of being totally pubic hair-free means you can get artistic, and beautify yourself with body art or jewelry.
Truly that Brazilian waxing using Dr. Numb equates to painless CONFIDENCE like Lady Gaga. Women don't have to undergo unnecessary pain just to make themselves feel good. This is the revolutionized way of beautifying oneself, do you want to be left behind?

The Lingcod chapter covers proven methods, techniques, and strategic tricks to help anglers catch more lingcod. Additionally, as with the theme of this book, anglers are encouraged to practice catch and release as often as possible. Anglers should take only what they need and no more than they are allowed.
Lingcod fishing can be accompished from either a boat or the shore. Many anglers will agree that Lingcod is one of the tastiest food fishes harvested from the ocean. This chapter explains what tackle, bait, jigs, and other gear to use to successfully harvest lingcod.

Mythili Raman '94: Accomplished Prosecutor Seeking Justice in New Role
Earlier this year, President Obama appointed Mythili Raman, '94 (née Tharmaratnam), as Acting Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice (DOJ). Her new role, in which she oversees nearly 600 staff attorneys and works closely with 93 U.S. Attorneys, is the outcome of a steady career progression within the Department of Justice, which she joined in 1996.
"I realized when I was in law school that I wanted to be a prosecutor," she says. "It was a way to do good, and to embark on a meaningful career in public service. What I didn't fully realize until I got into it was that it would be so energizing and so much fun."
She applied for a Department of Justice position during her clerkship with a Court of Appeals judge, but then decided to take a law firm job instead so she could be closer to her fiancé (and now husband), Ven Raman, who was in medical school in Boston. "I remember contacting Professor [David] Strauss for advice, and he told me that there would always be lots of career opportunities, so I should do what was right for my life first. He was right about that."
But it wasn't long before she was working at Justice. She lost the first case she tried (a case of assault with intent to kill involving two prison inmates, about which she says, "you can only imagine the cast of characters"). As a line prosecutor, she didn't lose another trial after that one. "Disappointing as it was, that acquittal was good for me," she says. "It made me more determined and gave me a lasting respect for the jury system. It also reminded me that our job as prosecutors is not to win every case, but to do justice."
After a few years prosecuting cases around the country for DOJ's Narcotic and Dangerous Drug Section, she joined the U.S. Attorney's Office in Maryland, where she prosecuted and supervised hundreds of criminal cases involving violent crime, financial fraud, narcotics, child exploitation, and civil rights offenses. She particularly recalls a series of successful prosecutions involving the enslavement and sexual abuse of young immigrant girls. "Those cases were hard to prove for a number of reasons, including the girls' fear of testifying, but we succeeded," she says. "It felt very good." At the U.S. Attorney's Office, she also served as Chief of the branch office and then Appellate Chief.
Returning to the DOJ's criminal division in 2008, she served as acting chief of staff, and then as Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General and Chief of Staff, before assuming her current position at the top of the division.
She highlights protecting Americans from financial crime as one of her top priorities for the division. She points proudly to the 110-year sentence handed down to R. Allen Stanford for perpetrating a $7 billion investment hoax, to the successes of the criminal division's health care fraud strike forces, and to the insider trading convictions earlier this year of two prominent financiers.
Other forms of corruption are also high on her agenda, including enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the prosecution of corrupt public officials such as former U.S. Representative Richard Renzi, who was found guilty in June of fraud, extortion, and money laundering.
Discussing the challenges of her position, she quickly mentions the effects of budget limitations: "Our funding is lower now than it was two years ago, even as the challenges grow more complex. We're constantly looking for better ways to do what we need to do with limited resources." As an example of the increasing complexity of the division's work, she cites cybercrime, which she says has become "increasingly global and transnational, requiring close cooperation with other countries." The division's recent indictments related to an enterprise charged with laundering over $6 billion in criminal proceeds, for example, required coordinated action with law enforcement officials in 17 countries.
"I never stopped loving being in a courtroom and standing up for justice," Raman says. "Now the satisfactions are more indirect, but I am so proud to represent the hard-working, dedicated—and simply excellent—men and women of the Criminal Division."

Borrowing a line from one of her Harvard colleagues, the Washington Post entitled its June 10 front-page profile of Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan, "Her work is her life is her work."*
But the 60-paragraph story by staff writers Ann Gerhart and Philip Rucker shed barely any light on the judicial philosophy that Kagan's life work demonstrates. Instead, Gerhart and Rucker presented a gauzy profile that rehashed the usual trivia -- Kagan loves poker and the opera -- while painting Kagan as a workaholic who still has time to lend an ear or a shoulder to cry on to friends in distress:
She has arrived at the age of 50 in a blaze of accomplishment. But her achievements can obscure how relatively narrow her world has been.
She made her life the law and became consumed by it -- and happily so, by all accounts. Her parents are no longer living, and she sees her brothers, Marc and Irving, Yale University graduates who teach public school in New York City, usually at holidays.
Most of the people in Kagan's life are important people, bound to her in tightly drawn concentric circles. Her friends are elite lawyers of a certain set or Democratic operatives with staying power. She cultivates their company, holds their confidences, gives them the best presents and solicits their ideas, said several friends among the four dozen people interviewed for this article.
Many high-energy super-achievers strive for a sanctuary of home or hobby or nature away from the relentless pressures of the workplace, even as they bang away on their BlackBerry and brag how little sleep they require. Kagan seems to be the rare person who has moved fluidly up and through the corridors of power with no apparent need for this separate sphere.
"Her work is her life is her work," says Charles Fried, a Harvard Law professor.
He credits her with grafting a sense of community onto the school's prickly and insular culture in her six years as dean.
"To call her a bloodless organization person running her organization would be a terrible mistake," Fried says of Kagan's ceaseless entertaining, dinner-going and speech-giving while dean. "She did those things with real affection, not just for the institution but for the people."
Yet the friendship her intimates describe seems curiously one-sided; it is one in which Kagan gives freely of her support but seeks none in return.
"I went through a very contentious divorce," says Laurence Tribe, another Harvard Law professor who has known Kagan for more than 20 years, "and she was one of the very few people I could talk to about it. It's because you could trust her. She made me feel that I would get through it.
"She's a great listener, and I think that will endear her to her fellow justices," says Tribe, who is on leave from Harvard while working at the Justice Department. "She's likely to make them feel that she cares what they think."
That's great, but Kagan is not up for a marriage counselor gig, she's nominated to the highest court of law in the land.
It's not wholly illegitimate for the media to devote some resources to exploring the personal and social dimensions of a Supreme Court nominee's life, but ultimately these details are of little or no consequence to the job itself.
Yet today, Post editors gave their front-page readers what essentially amounts to a Style section profile in lieu of a meatier profile that might examine the liberal leanings discernible in Kagan's work product.
*the headline for the online version reads, "Kagan has many achievements, but her world has been relatively narrow."

Sankaku's trolling. The actual ranking was "Anime with bad casual wear." Ones where their suited up or uniformed look is so iconic or engrained, they look odd lounging around in their off hours. So of course Sankaku changed everything, hunted down fanart and pinups where they look good, and turned it into "controversial" clickbait. Some still wearing their uniforms and exercise clothes. Only the Dragon Ball one follows the criteria so it looks out of place.

Ask a Mechanic Online and Get Answers to Your Car Questions
Hello and thank you for choosing Just Answer.
I would suggest that you have the battery tested first. Autozone will run a free test on it, that will check if the battery can hold charge. With that said, it sounds like your starter is going out. If the battery was weak or had a bad cell in it, waiting for a certain amount of time would not help, it would actually make it worse. A bad battery discharges with time, if the battery was weak and you tried to start the car that would take more charge from the battery and it would not help.
Waiting and trying again, usually indicates the starter is going out. Also the clicking noise is a typical symptom of a bad starter.

Breaking News in South Carolina
Fighting Intolerable Insult to Poker Players
By Wendeen H. Eolis
Poker players WILL appeal for rehearing in South Carolina's Supreme Court guilty ruling against a low stakes un-raked home game in Mount Pleasant v. Chimento.
So you thought that online poker players had it tough when Full Tilt Poker bellied up! What do you think about risking your liberty if you play in a home game?
Even if poker is predominantly a game of skill.
Even if the law is determined to be unconstitutionally vague by sitting justices in a case.
Even if there is no rake taken.
Even if the game yields less than a kid's piggy bank for its biggest winner...in South Carolina and maybe elsewhere you could be arrested and convicted!
Will USA poker players take this South Carolina case seriously-- as a signal that online and brick and mortar poker players across the US had best to unite in outrage against this ruling.
PPN will report more as details emerge from the big huddle of gaming lawyers involved and studying the ongoing case and its potential impact on other jurists who might look to this case for guidance in a future proceedings elsewhere.
