Chanderpaul out of Caribbean Premier League, Luke Pomersbach in
Head coach Andy Roberts said it is unfortunate that Chanderpaul is unable to represent the St. Lucia Zouks. His experience would have added some stability to the team, and of course he is loved and respected by fans around the world, said the former West Indies fast bowler.
West Indies middle order batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul has been forced to withdraw from the first ever Caribbean Premier League (CPL) because of his contractual obligations with English county team Derbyshire.
Organisers say Chanderpaul signed a contract with CPL, offering himself for selection but later realised that his commitment to Derbyshire provided for release only if it pertained to West Indies duty, reports CMC.
"I am extremely sorry that I will not be able to participate in the CPL because of contractual obligations," said Chanderpaul.
"I would definitely like to make myself available for the next edition, and will have my contracts carry a clause that will permit me to play in future editions of T20 tournaments."
Head coach Andy Roberts said it is unfortunate that Chanderpaul is unable to represent the St. Lucia Zouks.
"His experience would have added some stability to the team, and of course he is loved and respected by fans around the world," said the former West Indies fast bowler.
"We wish him all the best this season with Derbyshire and hope to see him in the draft again next year".
Chanderpaul's withdrawal opens the door for Aussie batsman Luke Pomersbach to join St. Lucia.
"We are pleased with Pomersbach as a replacement option," said Roberts.
"He is a competent middle order batsman, and we believe that he will serve our team well."
Pomersbach was in the group of Elite Pool A players alongside Chanderpaul, and the only batsman remaining in that pool.
"I am excited about this new opportunity and really looking forward to playing in the Caribbean for St. Lucia," Pomersbach said.
"It will be great to be a part of this first CPL and I am looking forward to some tough competitive cricket with some of the greatest T20 cricketers in the world."
Organisers say Pomersbach's selection is in line with the rules of the draft and does not put the St. Lucia team at any disadvantage.
The St Lucia Zouks is led by franchise players Darren Sammy and Herschelle Gibbs. The other team members are Albie Morkel, Tino Best, Tamim Iqbal, Shane Shillingford, Devon Smith, Andre Fletcher, Garey Mathurin, Liam Sebastian, Dalton Polius, Kavem Hodge, Kenroy Peters and Nelon Pascal.
The CPL begins July 30 in Barbados and concludes Aug 24 in Trinidad.

North American Insurance Illustration Vendors: 2004
| Boston, MA, USA June 7, 2004
The North American Illustrations Market Insurance Reports Published by Celent
Improved technology can transform illustrations from a regulatory to-do item into a competitive differentiator. Will carriers take advantage?
The traditional view of illustrations as a necessary evil is changing, as illustration vendors are broadening their offerings into end-to-end new business suites and carriers are starting to demand better business value.
"To this point, most carriers have not leveraged their investment in illustrations across broader new business processes," says senior analyst Craig Weber, author of Celent's latest reports: Insurance Illustrations: A Necessary Evil Becomes A Competitive Differentiator, and North American Illustration Vendors: 2004. "But that is starting to change. Even though regulatory and product complexity is not easing, the new tools available can clearly help improve efficiency and lower costs."
Weber notes that the natural ties between key new business functions such as contact management, needs analysis, illustrations, and electronic applications have not been incorporated into most new business systems. "But illustration vendors now recognize that they need to do more than simply calculate premiums and policy values," Weber says. "They need to help carriers take advantage of today痴 integration tools, particularly ACORD XML, and deliver better overall value on illustration investments."
The overview report identifies five trends that will drive decision making around illustrations for the next two to three years, including: an emphasis on vendor-based components over totally-custom systems; continued slow migration to Web-based systems; growing interest in common calculation engines; slow consolidation on vendors that provide more robust capabilities, and; improved integration across all new business functions.
The report also highlights how four factors can drive carriers toward one end of the cost and service spectrum or the other in working with an illustration vendor.
The vendor report notes that all prominent illustration vendors offer highly custom solutions, in response to carrier demands. The report profiles in detail the functionality, technology, and services of eight North American illustration vendors: COSS Development Corporation, Fiserv, illustrate inc, Insurance Technologies, Lewis & Ellis, NaviSys, Novinsoft, and SunGard. The report also provides overall ratings for each vendor.

Lefty Pena shines in Sea Dogs debut
Red Sox prospect tosses seven scoreless frames in victory
By Sam Dykstra / MiLB.com | August 21, 2013 1:38 PM ET
Mickey Pena, left-hander from Texas.
That's all the 22-year-old wants to be known as. It's what he wants now, in the minutes after he pitched seven scoreless innings in his Double-A debut for Portland, a 4-2 Sea Dogs victory Wednesday. It's what he wanted back in April, when he began his third professional season. But after three starts with Class A Advanced Salem, he was handed a 50-game suspension without pay for his second positive test for a drug of abuse.
Instead of staying in the Carolina League, he returned to the organization's facility in Florida, forced to put what could have been a promising start to the year on hold because of his own missteps.
"It was a difficult time, for sure," Pena said. "Knowing my teammates were out there playing to get paid, it hurts. It felt like something had been taken from me. … But credit to this organization, from bottom to top it felt like everyone was in my corner, and that really gave me hope that I could move on from it."
The optimism that both the Red Sox and the pitcher himself had bore fruit in a matinee at Portland's Hadlock Field.
Pena tossed seven scoreless innings, allowing five hits and two walks while striking out three, in the Sea Dogs' 4-2 win over New Hampshire. The left-hander, who did not factor into the decision, finished with 96 pitches, 62 for strikes.
A sixth-round pick in 2011, Pena was 6-7 with a 4.00 ERA and 1.37 WHIP in 15 starts for Salem before joining Portland. He earned the promotion after posting a 1.96 ERA over his last seven starts, each of which lasted at least six innings.
Coming off such a stretch propelled the southpaw into his best start of the year Wednesday, regardless of level.
"I was at a point where I didn't feel like I had to change anything," he said. "I talked to my pitching coach in Salem [Kevin Walker] and he was telling me that, yeah, it's a different level, but I was the one who got there, and if I keep pitching to my advantages, keep attacking hitters, it'll take care of itself. The mound's still 60 feet, six inches away, you know?"
Still, Pena, who utilizes a low-90s fastball with a changeup, a slider and a curve also in his arsenal, admitted there was added adrenaline taking an Eastern League mound for the first time. After getting Kenny Wilson to fly out in the game's first at-bat, he walked Andy Burns and gave up a line-drive single to Kevin Nolan. But he managed to get Adam Loewen to bounce into a 4-6-3 double play on the very next pitch to close out the frame.
"After I gave up that single, I had to take a moment and think, 'OK, that was a pretty good pitch, I thought, and he got a pretty good bat on it,'" he said. "But to get that double play and get out, that calmed me down a little going forward and really worked to my advantage."
The Fisher Cats had more opportunities with runners in scoring position and Pena on the mound, particularly in the sixth when Nolan's second single and a pickoff error by the Sea Dogs starter put a runner on third with one. But the left-hander was able to keep New Hampshire off the board, holding the opposition to an 0-for-6 showing with RISP on the afternoon.
The 6-foot-2 hurler credited catcher Christian Vazquez with easing his transition to Double-A. The No. 17 Red Sox prospect, known for his defensive prowess behind the plate, has anchored a pitching staff that has boasted at times fellow prospects Anthony Ranaudo, Brandon Workman, Drake Britton, Matt Barnes and Henry Owens, and it showed Wednesday.
"One, he knows what pitch to throw every time," Pena said of the backstop. "I don't think I shook him off once. I worked with him some in Spring Training, but that's been it. He just knows the hitters here and what they're expecting. He did a heck of a job."
After leaving the mound following the seventh zero on the board, it seemed like Pena had come as far as possible from the depths he had fallen back in April. But he knows it'll be a while -- maybe another year, maybe another level, maybe never -- before he can shake the mark left by the suspension. Until then, all he can do is pitch and pitch well, like he did Wednesday in Portland.
"I feel like I've matured since then," he said. "It opened my eyes and -- I'm speaking for me and my family here -- it humbles you both on and off the field. But it's in the past -- we know that. It's something that will be brought up -- I know that too. I just want to stay under-the-radar, go out and pitch as well as I can."
Vazquez, who turned 23 on Wednesday, finished 3-for-4 at the plate with an RBI. Michael Almanzar drove in the eventual game-winning tallies with a two-run triple in the eighth inning. Garin Cecchini -- Boston's No. 7 prospect -- went 0-for-3 but extended his on-base streak to 30 games with a first-frame walk.

$35m budget wish for insulin pumps
THOUSANDS of families live without the best treatment available for type 1 diabetes because they cannot afford it, researchers say.
They have called on the Federal Government to find $35 million in the next budget for insulin pumps. These allow insulin delivery to be adjusted according to activity or food intake. The pumps are especially useful for children. The Government covers the cost of maintaining the pump, but not the $8000 it costs to install.
Mike Wilson, chief executive of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, said funding would help 5000 families "desperate to give their child the best possible chance of living without the burden of diabetes".
A spokesman for federal Health Minister Nicola Roxon said the proposal would be considered.

Low dose aspirin cuts cancer risk, study finds

Regular, low doses of aspirin reduce the occurrence of several common cancers, according to a study published in the Dec. 6 issue of the medical journal The Lancet. But its authors cautioned that not everyone should take aspirin, as it can boost the risk of serious bleeding. "These are very exciting and potentially important findings. They are likely to alter clinical and public health advice about low dose aspirin because the balance between benefit and bleeding has probably been altered towards using it," said researcher Tom Meade of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, who contributed to the study. Health professionals and others will have to consider the practical implications of the study, he said. The work, led by Peter Rothwell of Oxford University, is based on an overview of several randomised trials of aspirin. These have been primarily concerned with reducing heart attacks, but have also gathered information on deaths from cancer. The trial contributing most information to the overview was the Thrombosis Prevention Trial, carried out by Meade, who was then with the U.K. Medical Research Council. The study confirmed that low dose aspirin reduces large bowel cancer cases as reported in another recent study also led by Rothwell, the researchers reported. Low-dose aspirin was also found to reduce total deaths due to cancer by affecting several common cancers, such as those of the esophagus or gullet, lung, stomach, pancreas and possibly the brain. Reductions in deaths are around 20 to 30%, the investigators said. Aspirin doses lower than 75 mg and taken for at least five years were associated with the benefit, they added. Hitherto, advice about aspirin has been mainly concerned with reducing heart attacks and strokes in those who have already had them. Those who don't have these conditions should exercise caution, the researchers said.

"[This book] embodies the Buddhist wisdom about change, life, and the
world more than anything written after the events of that day."
« Previous · Home · Next »
July 8, 2007
I titled my book Watching the World Change. But skeptics will tell me on occasion that the world really didn't change all that much on that day in September 2001. Within two years of 9/11, they claim, humankind went back to its destructive preoccupations and quotidian routines. Conflicts across the Middle East continued to bleed on. The Bush administration squandered reservoirs of good will that it had built up among the community of nations. Tensions grew between the U.S. and Europe, between the U.S. and Russia, between the U.S. and allies (and enemies) everywhere. And here at home Americans abandoned their cohesiveness and determination, seeking refuge in distraction from the War on Terror and the brewing campaign in Iraq by losing themselves in reality TV, the tabloids, Internet gossip, and all manner of electronic self-abosorption. Same old woeful same old.
But a quick perusal of this morning's paper is all one needs to find ample evidence that ours is indeed a post-9/11 world, one that has been irrevocably altered in ways large and small.
- Today the Times' new public editor, Clark Hoyt, observes that "[President] Bush mentioned [al Qaeda] 27 times in a recent speech on Iraq.... The Associated Press reported last month that although some 30 groups have claimed credit for attacks on United States and Iraqi government targets, press releases from the American military focus overwhelmingly on Al Qaeda."
- In a guest editorial, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (Dem., NY), who oversees the House subcommittee examining the government's failure to warn of possible health hazards associated with the Ground Zero rescue effort, reminds readers of pronouncements made by ex-EPA chief Mrs. [Christie] Whitman on September 18, 2001, in which she said she was "glad to reassure the people of New York" that "their air is safe to breathe."
- After New York City was promised increased anti-terror funding by Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff earlier this year, New York lawmakers are now angered because of reports that the estimated outlay for the city has been mysteriously cut back yet again.
- In today's "Week in Review," the Times' Mark Landler, writing from London, discusses the dubious role played by closed-circuit cameras (CCTV) in deterring potential suicide bombers: "Video surveillance...is better at unraveling crimes than deterring criminals, particularly Islamist terrorists bent on bringing a holy war to Britain's streets. 'The idea of CCTV as a deterrent for something like this is no longer accepted,' said David Murakami Wood, an expert in video surveillance... 'If you don't think you're coming back, you're not going to mind if you're caught on a camera.'"
- And today's prime Page One piece announced: "U.S. ABORTED RAID ON QAEDA CHIEFS IN PAKISTAN IN '05: A secret miliatry operation in early 2005 to capture senior members of Al Qaeda in Pakistan's tribal areas was aborted at the last minute after top Bush administraton officials decided it was too risky and could jeopardize relations with Pakistan."
In 2007, we are still attuned to the tensions of 2001, and are still seeking to learn its lessons.
We've come to understand the bigger picture, surely: how internecine conflicts have international repercussions; how politics, once decidedly "local" affairs, now often have worldwide ramifications; how the global economy, new technologies, and the Web connect us all. And we've come to see how the state of the environment is everyone's concern. This last topic was highlighted by yesterday's mega-eco-concert, Live Earth, held on all seven continents. While I make much of the fact (pages 32-35 of the book) that the global television and Internet audience for news footage on September 11 was on the order of two to two-and-half billion (the largest viewership ever for a breaking-news event) -- the estimated aggregate audience for Live Earth (TV, Net, radio, plus concert-attendees) was reportedly as high as two billion as well, according to concert organizers.
Since the World Cup's largest viewership was also tallied at between one and two billion, I'm highly skeptical of this number, which I find incredibly inflated -- not to rain on Al Gore's impressive, resplendent, and truly inspirational parade of performers. According to Carl Bialik, the respected gadfly and blogger known as The Numbers Guy, who analyzes such stats for the Wall Street Journal Online, one should regard these figures warily, since estimates of Oscar audiences (one billion!), Olympic ceremonies (one billion!), and even Princess Diana's 1997 funeral (2.5 billion!) have always proven to have been jacked up by organizers or reporters or armchair historians by many many many millions.
Which brings us back to the theme at hand: Skepticism.
Never trust what you read. Especially what you read on a blog.
FOLLOW UP: The Wall Street Journal's "Numbers Guy," Carl Bialik, actually followed up on this suggestion and wrote a column that poured cold water on the Live Earth "two billion viewers" estimate. According to Bialik:
"In the U.S., 19 million Americans tuned in for some part of the Live Earth broadcast, which was shown for several hours on various networks, according to Nielsen ratings. 'It's hard to believe that the rest of the world (including countries in Asia or Africa) watched at a higher level than the U.S.,' Nielsen spokesman Gary Holmes told me in an email. The U.S. audience was about 6 percent of the overall population. If the rest of the world did watch at the same rate, that would suggest an audience of about 420 million.
"Live Earth never intended for the figures to represent viewership, spokesman Yusef Robb told me. Instead, two billion is the organizers' estimate of how many people would become aware of the concert in some fashion: Newspaper articles, television, radio coverage, promotion, advertising or online."
Awareness ain't audience. But, hey. Four hundred twenty million ain't anything to shake a recycled stick at.

Colossus Silicone PPA Extender

Brand: Vixen Creations
Add length, girth, texture and stability to intercourse with these next-generation extenders. Read More
Add length, girth, texture and stability to intercourse with these next-generation penis extenders. A world away from old-school PPA devices, these realistic-styled penis sleeves are hollow and fit (often snugly) over the penis. Designed to be used whether or not you have an erection the formed interior enhances the toy's function, but makes it important to check the dimensions of Colossus (and your own!) before you buy, as the walls of the extender are only slightly flexible. Use with non-silicone lube for greatest comfort, and enjoy intercourse in many positions (but our testers felt it was not as good a fit with partner-on-top). Veiny and girthy, this toy will add sensation as well as size during intercourse.
Colossus Silicone PPA Extender
Vanilla, Caramel, or Coffee dual-density Silicone
Hollow-shaped extenders that fit over the penis
Stretchy hole at the base for testicles allows for a snug fit against body
Outer 6 ¾" x 2 ¼" (17.1cm x 5.7cm)

Note: We are proud to proclaim that each one of these dildos are individually hand crafted right here in the United States. Because these items are hand mixed & handmade, there could be slight color variations from what is pictured.
Quick Guide for putting these on:
- Roll the sleeve 1/3 of the way down
- Apply lubricant to the inside of toy & penis
- Squeeze out the air
- Place penis into the opening & gradually release the pressure
- Unroll the Colossus to the base
- Pull scrotum through the hole

We picked this up the other day and all we can say is WOW. The material is far more supple than similar products which makes it easier to put on and easier for her to enjoy. We got the coffee version and it was so sexy watching her be stretched wide by this thick veiny toy. Our IR fantasies came just a little closer to being a reality with this fun toy. If your partner likes to be stretched wide and deep, this is a must have. Fit was incredibly comfortable and actually made me feel like I had a thick heavy cock. I loved it!

Celebrities at Age 20
What 20 Starlets Were Doing at Age 20
Current age: 24
Career at 20: 2010 was an especially busy year for Kristen Stewart. In March, a few weeks before Kristen's 20th birthday, The Runaways was released. That June, the third Twilight movie, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, also hit theaters. She even took the top spot on Vanity Fair's list of highest earning female actresses of 2010.
Relationship status at 20: Although the pair hadn't yet confirmed their relationship, Kristen was linked to her Twilight costar Robert Pattinson.
Quoted at 20: In the May 2010 issue of Elle, Kristen talked about the wild side of fame. "Once somebody finds out, you have to get the hell out of wherever you are. People freak out. And the photographers, they're vicious. They're mean. They're like thugs. I don't even want to drive around by myself anymore. It's f**king dangerous."

Your gift to help a hardworking entrepreneur will double in impact thanks to a generous World Vision partner.
Reuben is from Kenya. He has 9 children. He needs a loan of $275 to expand his mining business.
Reuben is from Kenya. He has 9 children. He needs a loan of $275 to expand his mining business.
A father of nine, Reuben makes a living working in the mining business. He lacks the funds to maximize his business and to run it efficiently.
A World Vision loan will enable Reuben to expand the mining area which would generate more profits for his business. With the income he earns he will be able to provide his family with their basic needs and improve their living conditions.
Entrepreneurs with specialized skills can apply for a loan in the manufacturing sector. Examples of businesses in the manufacturing sector are making and selling clothes, shoes, machine parts, baskets…the list goes on. These savvy entrepreneurs see the opportunity in their community and, with the help of a loan and their unique talents, can establish their niche. Only 3% of our loans are in the manufacturing sector.
Kabarnet is located in Baringo District in the Rift Valley Province of Kenya. It is characterized by uninhabitable desert and fertile farmland, flat arid plains and steep slopes. Rural Kenyans generally live with their extended family in a cluster of huts, which provides shelter and symbolizes the closeness of the people living there. Family members typically share work responsibilities and resources as they support themselves through farming.
Children are considered a valuable resource in Kenya. A large family means more hands to help on the farm and ensures parents will be taken care of in their old age. Education is provided by the Kenyan government for children up to age 8, however, nearly 1.7 million children do not attend school because of failing economic and social systems.
With a population nearing 75,000 and 20 percent being children under 5, access to health services is limited in Kabarnet. According to the World Health Organization, the leading causes of death among children younger than 5 are pneumonia, diarrheal diseases, HIV and AIDS, and malaria. Efforts are being made to strengthen the capacity of health workers and services. To receive care, people must travel, usually on foot, at least nine miles to the nearest health center.
In Kabarnet, World Vision also focuses on education, immunizations, HIV and AIDS prevention education, food security, and sanitation.
Thank you for empowering Reuben Yatich with the opportunity to expand his mining business. With the $275 loan Reuben was able to expand his mining business.
Reuben is on his way to repaying his small business loan, as he makes weekly payments of $5. Thanks to the profits he has earned, Reuben can afford to pay school fees, purchase food for his family and expand the current business.
Reuben hopes to provide his children with a brighter future and his 9 children continue to study in school.
Thank you for supporting hardworking entrepreneurs like Reuben and World Vision Micro!
Reuben Yatich has successfully repaid his small business loan. He invested the $275 into making needed improvements to his mining business in order to increase sales.
Thanks to the loan he received, Reuben was able to use the profits from his business to pay school fees for his children, purchase food for his family and expand his current business.
In the future, Reuben aspires to earn enough to continue sending his children to school, further expand his current business, and take out another loan.
Reuben's nine children continue to study in school. Because he was able to invest in his business, he will be able to invest in his family.
Thank you for investing in the power of hardworking people, like Reuben, through World Vision Micro. These funds are now available to help other entrepreneurs in Reuben's community.

Couple of things I learned since taking delivery:
1) Make sure if you have an iPhone 5, you ask the dealer for the right cable. Now I have to go back again.
2) If you are new to the whole concept of keyless "comfortaccess" system, you might accidentally leave the stereo on in the driveway for about 20 minutes by mistake, thinking you shut the car off completely (not that I did that or anything...
). Note to self that pushing the start/stop with the foot off the brake turns on/off the accessories.
3) I will definitely get nav in the next BMW. I don't like the width of the iDrive screen relative to the space provided. The non-nav screen is too small for the space.
4) Mojave interior looks AWESOME with jet black. I was worried but I think it looks really good. Pics to come when it's not raining / dark.
Awesome.. Waiting for your pics!!
Had I known that the non-NAV X3's come with only half the screen, I would have definitely gotten it with Navigation. The screen does look bad given the amount of space. These are some of the CHEAP techniques employed by BMW to make customers buy their packages/products, but what they do not realize is that it eventually brings down the value/looks of the interior.
Well, its too late now. Anyways, glad to know that you like the Mojave interior

SJP did her best to shield herself from the paparazzi, wearing sunglasses and a gray top/pants combo. The twins, meanwhile, looked adorable as they held onto their stuffed animals.

In certain instances, undergraduate students may wish to repeat a course to improve a previous performance. Please be aware credit is only earned once for a course that is repeated. If you take a 3 unit course and repeat it, you will earn 3 units of credit, not 6.
Grade Replacement: Students may repeat a course once for grade replacement. The better of the two grades will be used in GPA calculations.
If student situations merit a second repeat due to extenuating circumstances, they may petition to repeat a course for the second time, by completing a "Petition to Repeat a Class for the 2nd Time" form found on the Registrar's website under Forms and Policies. If signed and approved, the form is submitted to the Registrar's Office for processing.
Some departments or colleges have received prior approval from NAU's Academic Standards Committee to allow students in certain programs to repeat some "C" grades for purposes of meeting minimum GPA requirements for specific academic plans.
Students should check with their advisors if they wish to repeat courses in which they received a "C". If students are allowed to repeat a course in which they earned a grade of "C", they must (a) get the approval from the department or college that offers the course before enrolling to repeat the course and (b) submit the form to the Registrar's Office for processing.
Repeating a class a second time could affect financial aid or eligibility for certain programs. Students receiving financial aid should check with a financial aid counselor about course repeat rules. Veterans, athletes, international students, or students who are recipients of tribal funding may have additional rules associated with course repeats. Check with appropriate departments for more information.

HEWLETT-PACKARD have launched a Moonshot system that uses smartphone-style chips to power compact, efficient data centre servers.
The California-based computer maker says Moonshot systems take up a fifth of the space of traditional computer servers and can cut energy use by as much as 89 per cent while costing about 77 per cent less to buy.
"With nearly 10 billion devices connected to the internet and predictions for exponential growth, we've reached a point where the space, power and cost demands of traditional technology are no longer sustainable," HP chief Meg Whitman said in a statement.
"HP Moonshot marks the beginning of a new style of IT that will change the infrastructure economics and lay the foundation for the next 20 billion devices."
HP says the new class of computer server is able to handle the challenges created by social networking, cloud computing, and gathering and analysing massive amounts of data.
Moonshot servers are powered by Intel Atom chips more commonly found in smartphones and tablets.
The servers were made available in the United States and Canada this week and will be released elsewhere in May.
HP is in the middle of a massive shift in strategy as consumers gravitate from traditional PCs to mobile devices, including tablets.
Whitman, who is spearheading the move, says the company - which is still the world's biggest PC maker - is making progress but more work is needed.

A fiscal 2010 budget plan
is moving through the Democratic-controlled U.S. Congress. While the bill would spend less than President Barack
Obama sought, it would largely embrace the president's major initiatives: investing more in education, seeking expanded access to healthcare for
those who can't afford it and using federal funds to develop alternative, renewable sources of energy.
In February, Obama asked for $3.55 trillion in spending for the
fiscal year starting Oct. 1. His plan was estimated to produce a $1.4 trillion deficit.
The budget that Congress will write in the coming weeks in
response to Obama's requests will be a complex bill. The rules governing how the budget is approved by Congress and what the document accomplishes also are
Here are some key things to keep in mind:
* While the budget sets broad spending and tax parameters, it
doesn't actually make those spending and tax policies happen. Subsequent legislation does that.
* The budget cannot be "filibustered" in the Senate. It
only needs a simple majority to pass, instead of the 60 supporters that regular bills must win to avoid roadblocks. As a result, Democrats ought to be able to
push a budget through Congress with little or no Republican support.
* Congress can embrace or reject any of the ideas contained in the
president's budget proposal. Congress can even disagree with some of the economic assumptions the White House budget is built upon and opt for its own --
meaning the final budget could look quite different from that proposed by Obama.
* The document that Congress will try to pass in coming weeks is
called the "budget resolution."
* The budget resolution does not have the force of law and the
president does not sign it. Instead, it is a blueprint that will guide subsequent legislation - tax and appropriations bills that actually spend money on
programs contained in the budget or authorization bills that likely would be needed to allow new Obama programs to start, like expanded healthcare.
* Congress sometimes fails to pass a budget, but the government
typically keeps operating through appropriations measures. The last time that happened was in 2006, when the Republican majorities in the House and Senate
could not agree on an election-year budget. Budget experts say it's important to have a budget resolution in place each year so that spending is not done
* In years it does pass a budget, Congress is sketching out its
priorities and intentions for the coming year as well as looking ahead four years or so.

Defense budget plan could be pushed to
March 31, 2009
The Obama
administration likely will deliver to Congress its 2010 federal budget plan - including its first Defense budget request - in mid-May, several weeks later than
initially planned, according to several sources.
Defense Department officials earlier this year set a mid-April target for finalizing President Barack Obama's first defense spending request. Earlier this
month, the delivery date was pushed back to late April.
In late
February, the White House released a broad sketch of its 2010 federal budget that revealed the administration's plans to seek about $534 billion for the
base Pentagon budget.
The task of taking office and quickly preparing a federal budget is difficult for any new administration, as a number of forces - such as a skeleton staff and
a not-yet-fashioned security strategy - complicate the process.
Winslow Wheeler, a former congressional aide who is director of the Straus Military Reform Project at the Washington-based Center for Defense Information,
offered a different take on the holdup: "The Clintonista policy wonk and nonaccountable finances specialists must be having a hard time trying to please
everyone." Several members of the Obama Pentagon team served in the building under President Bill Clinton.
This rapid budget build was even more challenging for the Obama administration, sources say, because of the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and because
they had to pare down the $585 billion defense baseline blueprint left behind by the Bush administration.
experts were nonplussed by the initial week-or-so change.
But with several sources saying that the final version of the budget request might not be ready until the week of May 11, several of those experts are
predicting Congress will have a hard time finishing the defense spending bills during this fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30.
Adams, who oversaw Defense budgeting at the Office of Management and Budget under the Clinton administration, said, "A budget arriving that late is likely
to end up in 'continuing resolution land' by September."
That would mean Congress would pass a measure funding all federal initiatives at their 2009 levels.
"Even with the best effort possible and all the bipartisanship in the world, the congressional process just
moves too slowly for [passage of a 2010 defense spending bill] to happen," Adams said.
Cord Sterling, vice president for legislative affairs at the Arlington, Va.-based Aerospace Industries Association, said with Congress dealing with
Washington's response to the economic meltdown, it is unlikely a Defense bill will get passed by Sept. 30.
Sterling said the effect on Pentagon programs would depend on
the delay.
"If you're talking 10 days, it would be not very much," he said. "But if it's six months, that would start to create some
And yet Adams also said that Congress might not delay on the 2010 bill.
"The budget committees [in both chambers] are sending a very clear signal that they are prepared to provide the full amount for
Defense the administration has requested," he said. "That makes a strong case for sorting out DoD and putting [the bill] on a faster track to
completion before the end of September."
Apr 3 09 9:38 PM
Budget Resolutions: Pay Raise, TRICARE, and More
The House and Senate approved their respective versions of the FY2010 Budget Resolution on Friday before taking off for the two-week Easter recess. In the
meantime, House and Senate leaders will be working to resolve the differences between the two versions so they can pass a final resolution once Congress
Of necessity, Hill leaders find themselves in a "cart-before-the-horse" mode this year. Their rules require finishing the budget resolution before
April 15, on the assumption that the President's budget is delivered to them in February. But every newly elected administration needs extra time to
prepare its initial budget - which won't be delivered to Congress until the end of April.
In March, leaders of the House and Senate Armed Services Committees wrote their respective Budget Committees to request extra budget headroom for several
specific priorities. Their requests included extra allocations for a 3.4% military pay raise (vs. the 2.9% proposed by the Pentagon), additional progress to
ease VA compensation offsets to military retired pay and SBP annuities, and to reject any increases in TRICARE fees that the Administration may propose in its
final budget submission.
The recommendations of both Armed Services committees for 3.4% pay raise are a very good sign that it will be approved, as the full Congress has agreed with
such joint recommendations in the past.
Both budget resolutions also include "deficit-neutral reserve funds" that could potentially address compensation improvements for disabled retirees;
SBP-DIC survivors; Guard-Reserve retirement, health and GI Bill benefits; and DoD and VA health care issues. It's nice that Congress acknowledged those
needs, but these provisions offer no firm commitments. The "deficit-neutral" qualifier means they can be done only if Congress finds other
"mandatory spending" reductions to offset any increases in those areas. The difficulty of identifying such offsets is why we haven't made more
progress in past years.

Form letters really do little to make an impact. Plus the length of this one puts the staffers asleep because it has all been said before.
It is very-very important to write a short personal letter stating what it is you want the "critters" to do.
1) Keep it respectful, but get your point across.
2) Remind them that they will lose your vote and respect if they do not pass what you want passed!
3) If you can, let them know just how big your voting block is. For example, my CH 61 friend (under 20) and his wife still active duty both vote. That is
2 votes right there. Now include the number of your relatives and friends - who also vote - which equals more votes against said critter. The threat of
losing votes makes their ears perk up.
4) Remind them that this is NOT A BENEFIT we are demanding. This is about correcting the injustice of (A) having to fund our own
retirement/ disability dollar for dollar (B) the issue of forced retirement/Ch 61 under and above 20, and (3) the inclusion of all military disabled without
regard to percent of rating.
5) Send your letter to every critter, REGARDLESS OF PARTY, in your district and THEN CALL THEM to say, "I CAPT Jones sent your office
a letter on 20 May 09, concerning concurrent receipt for all disabled veterans, regardless of length of service. And I am calling to remind
Congressman/Senator mucky muck that I expect him/her to support this issue in every way."
6) Send the letter again and call them again right before any vote that would impact this issue, such as the 2010 budget. When you call
the critter's office, at least when I worked there, they have to log the call and the issue involved. Have your friends and family also call and write the
lawmaker. Let them see, just how important this issue is., For us vets and the lawmakers' career. (Oh, also call any of their support offices they have
located in their district.
It is key to keep the pressure on them.
One final thought, I am very sure that every state is represented by the members of this community. Can we do a little tracking that list the states
we have covered. For me it is Arizona. Anyone else? (remember to send your personal letters to everyone of your reps regardless of party.
Thanks for your time.

Another administration putting out false information again. If I remember correctly it would have cost 45 billion to grant concurrent receipt to all retired
disabled veterans, including those under 50% disabled. The cost associated with granting concurrent receipt to retired disabled veterans under 50% disabled is
exaggerated by about 150%. View the following information from the Veterans Disability Benefit Commission web site regarding the cost of concurrent receipt,
to the 10 to 40% disabled left out of the original CR legislation.
Option Description # of people $(10 yrs)
3a Adding 10 to 40% 450,000 $19.26B
Now view what the sources at Capital Hill stated for your article.
Why has Obama targeted Chapter 61 retirees for concurrent receipt? Sources on Capitol Hill said the White House's Office of Management and Budget
developed the idea as an affordable compromise. It would cost $5.4 billion over 10 years versus $45 billion if Obama fulfilled a campaign pledge to extend
concurrent receipt to all disabled military retirees. \
Sure seems like the folks in Washington are blowing smoke again by creating a propaganda cost amount that is not true. Fact is that they have bought onto
the logic advanced by the prior administration that their are categories of worthy and not worthy veterans. If your injury is not combat related, then your
service to country is simply not honorable or worthy of compensation. The simple fact is that the Obama administration has broken their campaign promise and
does not intent to honor his campaign pledge to grant concurrent receipt to all retired disabled veterans. At the cost of under 20 billion for ten years, this
would put the annual cost at less than two billion for the 450,000 retired disabled veterans who are currently paying for their own disability. This
administration found a cheap way out of his promise by placating to another "special" category of veteran, that is the Chapter 61 veteran. While it
will be good that these veterans receive concurrent receipt, it is hardly a solution to the entire problem of concurrent receipt.
It just proves that this administration will lie to keep from supporting all retired disabled veterans on the issue of concurrent receipt. If they do not
believe the under 50% disabled veteran is a "worthy" class in the scheme of consideration, at least they could get their cost figures correct. By
inflating the cost figures they do a disservice to the under 50% disabled veteran by painting them as a larger cost burden than they actually represent.
Inflating the cost of the issue by 150% is not only a lie but a flagrant manipulation of the facts.
Gods blessing to all, and thankyou for all that
each is doing on the issue of concurrent receipt for "everyone"

This is my 1st post on the site. I have read through a lot of different forums though. I am planning on putting a car pc in my 93 Mitsubishi 3000gt over the summer. I have looked at different setups but this is what I am planning on doing:
Mini-ITX on ebay:
VGA screen on ebay:
Mini-ITX on ebay:
VGA screen on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...126968047&rd=1this post as well. Thanks - Charlie
That will cover the majority of the setup. I will remove my ash tray and replace that w/ a touchpad mouse and I can have a small keyboard that can be stored in my glove box. I already have a Co-pilot GPS and a slim DVD drive. I have read about devices that will start your pc and shut it off automatically when the ignition is turned, but I think I will keep it simple w/ a power switch. XP doesn't take long to boot or shut down if you tune it properly.
I would appreciate it if anyone could help answer a few of my questions:
1. I want to mount the lcd where the stock double din HU is, so I will be eliminating my deck. Is it possible to hook my speaker out on the mini-itx computer to my stock amplifier in my car? The 3000gt has a stock amplifier under the center console if I recall correctly. Is this a hard thing to do?
2. The mini-itx computer already has a DC power supply and it comes w/ an AC to DC power adapter as well. Since the car runs off DC, can I eliminate the power adapter and hard wire it as long as I have the bios to not automatically start when it receives power? Will there be any problem w/ the voltage fluxuating? Or is there some kind of power regulator that I would need to keep a constant voltage??
Any other suggestions are also welcome. I have seen a guy w/ a black 3000gt vr-4 w/ a carpc, and I am hoping he will stumble accross

'No Doubt' About Herablife's Legitimacy, Shareholder Says
Herbalife Ltd.'s big defense of itself this morning won accolades from at least one shareholder.
"To any rational observer with an open mind, Herbalife management left no doubt that the company is a legitimate, legally operating company," Robert Chapman Jr., founder of Los Angeles based Chapman Capital LLC, said in a conversation with MarketBeat.
He previously said he made a "monster long bet" on Herbalife after hedge-fund manager Bill Ackman laid out his bearish case against the company that he says operates a pyramid scheme.
Chapman said Thursday afternoon that he hasn't trimmed his position since initially buying late last month.

Incyte Corp. (NASDAQ:INCY) is a small biotech company focused on developing treatments for cancer and inflammatory disorders. Lead compound Ruxolitinib (INCB18424) is awaiting FDA approval for the treatment of Myelofibrosis (MF) with an expected decision date on December 3rd. Ruxolitinib is also recruiting patients in a global Phase III study for Polycythemia Vera, a related blood disorder. A second compound, INCB28050, is in Phase IIb testing for Rheumatoid arthritis with anticipated completion early 2011.
Ruxolitinib and INCB28050 are small molecule inhibitors of JAK1 and JAK2. There are four JAK kinases, JAK1, JAK2, JAK3, and TYK2, key enzymes involved in the signaling of important cytokines. While their functions often overlap, JAK1 and TYK2 play important roles in inflammation, JAK2 is required for G-CSF signaling, and JAK3 regulates B-cell function.
Ruxolitinib was partnered with Novartis (NYSE:NVS) on November 25, 2009. Incyte received upfront payment of $210M and potentially $1,100M in developmental in commercialization milestone payments plus with tiered double digit royalties in exchange ex-U.S. rights to the compound. Incyte retained all U.S. rights; each company will pay for studies in their own territories. The two companies will develop Ruxolitinib in multiple oncology indications.
Less than a month later on December 21, 2009, Incyte inked a global licensing deal with Eli Lilly (NYSE:LLY) for its second candidate, INCB28050, for Rheumatoid arthritis. Incyte netted $90 million upfront and $665 million in milestones. The company has the opportunity to increase its initial 20% royalty rate to the high 20s by opting in and sharing 30% of development costs.
Incyte presented overwhelmingly positive data from two pivotal Phase III trials, COMFORT-1 and COMFORT-2, for patients with Intermediate-2 or High Risk MF. COMFORT-1 was a U.S. trial enrolling 309 patients randomized 1:1 treatment vs. placebo with final assessment at 24 weeks. The primary endpoint was a 35% reduction in spleen volume as measured by MRI. Secondary endpoints included duration of response, change in total symptom score, and overall survival.
Top line results of COMFORT-1 showed 41.9% of ruxolitinib treated patients achieved a 35% reduction in spleen volume at 24 weeks compared to 0.7% of placebo treated patients, P-value less than 0.0001. 45.9% of treated patients saw a greater than 50% decrease in total symptom score compared to 5.3% for placebo, also highly statistically significant. There was a trend toward an improvement in survival in the ruoxlitinib arm but did not reach statistical significance.
The European COMFORT-2 trial enrolled 219 patients randomized 2:1 drug vs. best available therapy (BAT). Primary endpoint was the same but at 48 weeks instead of 24. Assessment at 48 weeks showed that 28.5% of ruxolitinib treated patients achieved a 35% spleen volume reduction while no patients on BAT did. The response was durable; at the end of the study, 79.7% of patients achieving the 35% spleen volume reduction were still responding. There was a numerical but not statistically significant improvement in overall survival in the treatment arm, p-value 0.58. Symptoms scores also improved in ruxolitinib treated patients compared to BAT, including appetite loss, insomnia, dysnea, pain, and fatigue.
Ruxolitinib has a very good safety profile given at 15 or 20 mg BID in these studies. The only real concerns are anemia (lowering of red blood cells) and thrombocytopenia (lowering of platelets); most patients present with anemia, which the drug may worsen.
If approved, this will be the first drug indicated for the treatment of MF. There is every expectation it will be approved on or before its December 3rd PDUFA date. The company has not been advised of an advisory committee hearing. Technically, the FDA alert the trial sponsor 55 business days ahead of a panel meeting, making October 8th the last day Incyte may be notified. The advisory panel appears increasingly unlikely while an early approval more so. The FDA's oncology division has been issuing quick decisions this year; Pfizer's (NYSE:PFE) Xalkori was approved five weeks ahead of schedule, Roche's (OTCQX:RHHBY) Zelboraf ahead by two months, and Seattle Genetics' (NASDAQ:SGEN) Adcetris got the green light 11 days early.
The risk is not so much on approval as sales. Myelofibrosis is a small market. Incyte estimates there are approximately 16,000 to 18,500 MF patients in the U.S., divided equally between Severe, Moderate, and Mild disease. Both the company and analysts expect high usage in severe patients, less penetration in moderate disease, and limited use in mild disease. The company previously gave pricing estimates of between $40,000 to $60,000 per year, but in the most recent conference call indicated an inclination to tact toward the high end based on pricing of recent oncology drugs and what is believed to be a very good product profile.
Assuming $60,000 per year and 9,000 patients (18,000 total, reach 100% of severe, 50% of moderate, 0% of mild), the U.S. market opportunity is $540 million in MF. Incyte has hired a sales force of 60 reps to detail the drug. All reps have received one round of training. It expects to be able to begin sending product into sales channels within 14 business of approval. Management expects a slow ramp, peaking in
Ruxolitinib has a strong head start as the first in class and first in disease. The closest competition is likely some three years back. Sanofi Aventis (NYSE:SNY) has advanced a compound it got through the acquisition of Targagen into Phase 3, a highly specific JAK2 inhibitor TG101348. It appeared highly effective in reducing spleen size and improving symptoms in midstage trials but is burdened with a poor side-effect profile that includes thrombocytopenia, anemia, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. The competitor most are watching is CYT387 from YM Biosciences (YMI). This JAK1 / JAK2 inhibitor appears to have the best safety profile next to ruxolitinib and the potential for an anemia benefit. Interim results presented at ASCO showed 58% of transfusion dependent patients treated with CYT387 were transfusion independent after 12 weeks of treatment.
Polycythemia Vera:
Incyte is currently enrolling patients in a Phase III global trial for patients with Polycythemia Vera (PV). Initial Phase II results from patients refractory or intolerant to hydroxyurea were very promising; after a median follow-up of 21 months, 97% of enrolled patients (n=34) achieved hematocrit control to less-than or equal to 45% in the absence of phlebotomy. All patients continued to maintain phlebotomy-independence at the time of their last follow-up visit. Splenomegaly was present in 74% of patients at entry; 80% of patients achieved a greater-than or equal to 50% reduction in palpable spleen length and 68% have achieved complete resolution.
The Phase III trial was designed to mimic the Phase II, with initial plans to enroll 300 patients randomized 1:1 to ruxolitinib vs. best available therapy. The primary endpoint is a composite of hematocrit control in the absence of phlebotomy and greater than 35% reduction in spleen volume at 32 weeks. Secondary endpoints include complete hematologic remission at week 32 and percent of patients maintaining the composite response at 48 weeks and beyond.
Enrollment has been slow, blamed on additional entry requirements requiring white blood cell counts >15,000 and/or platelet >600,000. The company has petitioned the FDA to remove this requirement from the current special protocol agreement and reduce total patient accrual to 200 in order to speed up enrollment.
These changes were recently accepted by the FDA, the revised Phase III will be basically identical to the original Phase II. Even with a smaller n, strength of the original data gives confidence in the final outcome. It will, however, be worrisome if recruitment fails to improve upon implementation of these changes.
An estimated 95,000 patients in the U.S. suffer from PV, with the company estimating between 20%-25% being hydroxyurea refractory or intolerant. As these patients have a higher quality of life than severe MF patients and longer life expectancy, lower market penetration is expected. Calculating 10% of the PV market at a $60,000 price tag yields $570 million in potential U.S. sales. It is estimated ruxolitinib could become available for PV by 2014. However, there is likely to be off-label use in this indication once the drug is approved.
Rheumatoid Arthritis:
Eli Lilly is running the RA program and has completed Phase IIa studies with INCB28050. Phase IIb trials are fully enrolled with data expected in the first quarter 2012. Primary endpoints of the Phase IIb trial are identical to the Phase IIa: ACR20 response at 12 weeks though the trial extents to 24 weeks. And while the earlier study tested 4, 7, and 10mg once-daily dosing, this trial is looking at 1,2, 4, and 8mg.
Incyte is testing the lower dose due to similar efficacy seen across all three doses in the Phase IIa trial while the lower dose resulted in somewhat less anemia. At 12 weeks, 32% of placebo treated patients reached ACR20 compared to 52%, 59%, and 53% for the 4mg, 7mg, and 10mg cohorts, respectively.
Safety issues to keep an eye on, though mostly mild, are anemia and increases in both HDL and LDL. Final data from the Phase IIb study will hopefully be presented at EULAR in June 2012 with pivotal Phase III studies beginning by the end of the year.
In oral RA treatments, INCB28050 will be following in the footsteps of Pfizer JAK inhibitor, tofacitinib, which met all primary endpoints in five pivotal trials and may be approved as early as 2012. Both drugs have very clean safety profiles and in fact have some similar safety issues including anemia and lipid increases. Approval of the Pfizer drug will bode well for Incyte. Analysts foresee a multi-billion dollar product for Pfizer (PFE).
Incyte's compound has the advantage of once-daily dosing compared to twice-a-day for tofacitinib. So far, efficacy appears similar. Analyst peg potential sales of INCB28050 at $1.8 billion; with royalties in the high 20s, this can add another $500 million to Incyte's top line.
Incyte's three most advanced projects, each with good to high probability of success in the next few years have the combined potential to generate roughly $1.6 billion in peak sales. Both ruxolitinib and INCB28050 will certainly be tested in additional indications, increasing their future value. Ruxolitinib is already in Phase II studies for both solid and hematologic tumors.
JAK kinase is an alluring target and competition will be fierce. Hitting the target alone is not enough; with such a central role in signaling pathways, safety has emerged a key differentiator. Incyte's leading position and clean product profiles should allow it to extract considerable value from its discoveries.
Markets are in a "show-me" mode. Even approval may not give much lift to the stock price. It will likely take product sales before the stock really moves. To that end, the company recently showed off an abstract for presentation at ASH next month demonstrating a strong overall survival advantage for ruxolitinib over placebo. This data has the potential to improve the drug's sales outlook.
Incyte has a real story, and if it plays its cards right, can graduate into the big leagues of biotechs.
Disclosure: I am long INCY.

I published a seed similar to this yesterday as I felt it was important to know how the internet can influence war. In this article by CNN.com the author states
It's raising questions about the ethics and implications of live-tweeting a violent conflict. And it's calling into question the democratic, everyone-has-a-voice nature of Twitter, which is known more for giving a voice to protesters and civilians than military spokespeople.
I am a person who truly believes in internet freedoms, but when it comes to influencing people online for or against a country involved in a war outside of our own country, I believe it can cause wars to become even more destructive.
The author continues to say
"Armies and militaries and governments have done this kind of thing with radio broadcasts and whatever tools they have at their disposal," said Mathew Ingram, a senior writer for the tech site GigaOm. "What changes it is the reach and the speed" of the messages in the social media age.
AND...that's where I see the problem. In a blink of an eye information can get to thousands and thousands of internet users and who knows what the results would be.

The Magnolia exploration well was drilled to its target depth of approximately 4,920 feet true vertical depth subsea, fulfilling the partners' license obligations.
The well hit its primary targets – the Captain, Corable and Punt sandstones within the Lower Cretaceous interval – but no significant hydrocarbons were encountered, according to Trapoil. The well will now be plugged and abandoned.
The operator of license P1610 is Dana Petroleum, which has a 45-percent interest. Partners in the license include: Summit Petroleum (25 percent), Atlantic Petroleum UK (20 percent) and Trapoil (10 percent). The P1610 license is located to the south and southeast of the producing Captain Field in the Moray Firth and is also close to the Blake and Ross fields.
In February, Trapoil reported that it was buying one third of the Trent East Terrace Area license, located in the southern North Sea, from Perenco UK.

Bronze plaques disappearing from New Braunfels
Updated 8:16 pm, Thursday, March 20, 2014
City officials and local park patrons are baffled and upset by the disappearance of at least eight bronze commemorative plaques since last week, most from municipal recreation areas.
"It's very frustrating," said city parks director Stacey Laird Dicke. "It's kind of personal, because it's the community's history."
Three markers recalling the history of the Founders' Oak vanished from Landa Park between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, and two others went missing last week from the park's swim center.
An inventory begun Thursday of all such city plaques revealed two missing from the Faust Street bridge over the Guadalupe River and another from a Little League field.
The inventory is still ongoing, said Dicke, noting the markers, which range in size and weight, are insured.
"I have no idea what they're doing with them," she said of the culprits.
News Channel
Several park patrons voiced suspicions that juveniles were behind the thefts.
"It has to be kids, because it wouldn't be good for nothing but meanness," said Jim Barrett, 80, while walking his poodle, Max, in Landa Park on Thursday. "You couldn't sell them or anything."
