CLICK HERE to view the full range of the BEST CAR ALARM SYSTEMS
This guide aims to cover the best car alarm solutions on the market based on our own research and that of customers. Price along with features and overall security levels and ease of install have all been considered below in determining which is the best alarm system.
Viper 5902 2-way Responder
Its complete name is the Viper 5902 Responder HD Color SuperCode SST 2-Way Security and Remote Start System. It is a 2-way remote control and security system with a range of about 1 mile.
It is perhaps the best car alarm with remote start in the market; and not only can you do remote start for the car, but also make the windows roll down if it starts raining, pop up the trunk, and do other programmable actions. It has an entry-level price for a complete 2-way responder remote start and alarm system.
Install Essentials 508D Radar Field Disturbance Sensor
This car alarm works by detecting moving high-density objects using Radio Frequency (RF) field-disturbance technology. This is a perfect device for anyone with a convertible. This solution is not used by itself, but is integrated with other solutions. It is an affordable device, and can be configured to react differently to different types of threats. For example, you can set it to chirp meekly if someone is far from your car, but it can be made to go off if they come closer or enter the vehicle.
Python 991 Responder LC3 SST Security/Remote Start System
Python is one of the most popular brands of car security systems. The Python 991 responder is a 2-way system with a range of one mile. Its price is slightly less than the Viper 5902 reviewed above. The remote has a LCD screen with a configurable display. This LCD screen comes in handy especially when it confirms commands and system triggers. There is also a companion remote with the system.
XO Vision DX370 Universal Car Alarm System with Two 4-Button Remotes
This car security system comes with two 4-button remotes. The primary security system of this product is the shock sensor that emits an alarm or warning when the vehicle is moved or hit. This is a two-way system that also allows you to find your car by activating the car-finder. The car finder starts an alarm installed in the car, as well as flashes the vehicle's lights for 30 seconds.
Viper Responder 350 two-way Car Alarm Security System
This system comes with one two-way remote with LCD screen, as well as one 4-button one-way remote. This is one of the cheaper two-way security systems. It features keyless-entry, VRS recovery system that helps to prevent unauthorized use of the vehicle. It comes with Nuisance Prevention Circuitry, which makes sure that you are not disturbed by repetitive triggering sequences. It has a range of up to 1,500 feet. So, what is the best car alarm on the market? Well, at entry level prices, this arguably comes top for any two-way system.
Clifford 50.7X
This is another popular 2-way responder model that has a one-mile range and comes with LCD screen remote. This model is similar to Viper 5901. The remote can check the internal temperature of the vehicle from afar. The remote is chargeable using a mini-USB plug. Other features include trunk release, key-less entry, cabin and proximity sensors and advanced remote start options.
Directed Avital 3300 two-way Security System
This system comes with one main remote with LCD, and a companion remote. As a two-way system, it has a range of 1,500 feet. The system will confirm the car owner's commands on the LCD screen. The security features include a zone-2 impact sensor, fault-proof starter, nuisance prevention, as well as Revenger siren. As an entry-level model it is one of the best car alarms in that price-range.
Pyle PWD201
This is one of the cheapest car alarm systems reviewed here. However, it still comes with a host of features, such as a two button transmitter, shock sensors that detect any disturbance with the vehicle as well as a 125 dB 6-tone siren. It can monitor doors of the vehicle with its Door Locks Outputs. The system has a valet mode, panic mode, and anti-carjack mode. This is probably the best car alarm system for anyone who does not wish to spend a fortune on a security system.
Master Lock 4841DATSEN
Its complete name is the Master Lock 4841DATSEN Auto Sentry Wireless Anti-Theft Vehicle Alarm System. Its security system detects shocks to the car, breakage of glass panes and voltage drops for the vehicle. It also comes with a pressure sensor that can detect unauthorized entry into the passenger compartment of vehicle. The alarm is a 110 decibel siren that should stop anyone from coming too close to the car. One of the unique features of this system is that unlike many other systems, it is very easy to install.
Whatever your budget, this buying guide should help you to secure your car against intruders and trespassers. Not to mention the peace of mind provided against the worries of a thief making away with your car.

Peritoneal dialysis uses a natural filter inside your body—the lining
of your belly, called the peritoneal membrane—to remove wastes and extra fluid
from your body. It also restores the normal balance of certain minerals in the
blood (electrolytes).
The dialysis fluid fills the belly and pulls out extra
minerals and fluids from the bloodstream. These wastes then drain out of the
body along with the dialysis fluid into a collection bag.
Peritoneal dialysis
is usually done at home.

What Houston is to space stations, a turquoise two-storey home in Key Largo, Florida, is to Aquarius, the world's only underwater habitat. In front of the house, a mailbox is propped up on a cinder block; white gravel covers a driveway filled with grimy, decades-old cars.
Go past a menacing chain-link fence and up a wooden staircase, and you'll find a sliding-glass door that opens onto a room panelled in '70s veneer. Mission Control is on the right.
Aquarius is run out of what's essentially a dorm room. There are threadbare sofas in the living room, and sunburnt guys in shorts and backwards baseball caps eating microwaved noodles in the kitchen.
Saul Rosser, operations director, invites me into the observation deck. Rosser, who is 32 and has worked at Aquarius for two years, is wearing a black polo shirt and baggy trousers. In front of him are three computer monitors, a red telephone and a logbook. Rosser shakes my hand and then excuses himself. He needs to take a call.
''Ointment,'' a female voice crackles through the speaker. ''Copy on ointment,'' says Rosser.
''Applying ointment,'' says the voice. ''Copy on applying ointment,'' says Rosser.
A closed-circuit video feed in front of Rosser - one of 10 displays on the computer monitors - shows a grainy image of a hand applying ointment to a knee.
Rosser documents every word in the logbook. He stares at the video screen and watches as the woman replaces the cap on the tube of ointment. A moment later, another video feed shows the back of a woman as she walks across a tiny room and puts the ointment in a drawer. The video is pixelated, and it looks as though the transmission is coming from outer space, except for the fact that the woman is young, blonde and wearing bikini bottoms and a T-shirt - which, in a way, makes Mission Control seem even more like a dorm room.
''Over,'' the woman's voice crackles through the speaker. ''Over,'' says Rosser.
The woman, Lindsey Deignan, is a sponge researcher from the University of North Carolina, Wilmington. In the name of science, Deignan and five other researchers, called aquanauts, have volunteered to have their bodies supercompressed to the same pressure that's found 18.2 metres deep on the ocean floor - about 36 pounds per square inch (psi) - so they can dive for as long as they want without having to worry about decompression sickness.
The only requirement is that once the aquanauts head down to Aquarius, 11 kilometres off the coast from where we're sitting, they'll have to stay there for a week-and-a-half, until the mission is over. Then they'll be decompressed, a 17-hour process that brings their bodies back to surface pressure and allows the nitrogen gas that has accumulated in their bloodstreams to diffuse safely.
Deignan has been here for eight days and won't surface for another two. The scratch on her knee needs medical attention but she won't receive it any time soon. Opening the back hatch and swimming straight to the surface would probably kill Deignan; her blood would boil and most likely shoot out of her eyes, ears and other orifices.
I've come here to see what these scientists get out of spending 10 days living in the equivalent of a submerged Winnebago. Today, almost all ocean research is done topside via robots dropped from the decks of boats. Aquarius is one of the last oceanic institutions where researchers get wet and stay wet. On July 1, Fabien Cousteau, the grandson of the famous French ocean explorer, will resurface after a 31-day mission in Aquarius.
The prospect of one's head exploding is only one of the inconveniences of living underwater in a steel box. Even with air conditioners, nothing ever really dries down there. This is why Aquarius aquanauts are usually half naked and why Deignan applied ointment to a tiny scratch. In the pervasive humidity, which ranges between 70 and 100 per cent, infections are rampant. So is mould, and so are earaches. Some divers experience constant, hacking coughs.
If the moisture in Aquarius doesn't get you, the pressure might - 112 tonnes of water presses down on Aquarius at all times. To keep the water out, the habitat must be pressurised at a high level, which, at around 18.2 metres below the surface, works out to about 2½ times the pressure at sea level. Being inside Aquarius feels the opposite of what it would feel like to be 3960 metres up. Bags of potato chips become pancake-flat. Bread becomes dense and hard. Years back, a surface-support-crew diver delivered a lemon meringue pie in an airtight container to the aquanauts. It was a sheet of white-and-yellow goo by the time it was opened.
Aquarius is under 24-hour surveillance. Every movement, motion and action is logged. Air pressure, temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide and oxygen levels are checked by a computer every few seconds. Valves are checked every hour. The smallest break in the system could lead to flooding in the living chamber, which would instantly drown the aquanauts. Rosser and the other managers are there to make sure it doesn't happen. Over the past two decades, Aquarius has run more than 115 missions, and there's been only one death, caused by a malfunction on a rebreather device that had nothing to do with the laboratory.
There have been some close calls. A generator caught fire during a hurricane in 1994, requiring aquanauts to evacuate immediately after decompressing into 4.5-metre waves. Four years later Aquarius was ripped from its foundation by a storm and almost destroyed. To the aquanauts, though, danger, close quarters and sitting around semi-nude are small prices to pay to have unfettered access to the first six storeys of ocean, a depth researchers call the photic zone.
Life in the first few hundred feet of the sea is much like life on land, only there's a lot more of it. The ocean occupies 71 per cent of the Earth's surface and is home to about 50 per cent of its known creatures - the largest inhabited area found anywhere in the universe so far.
The photic (''sunlight'') zone is the only place in the ocean where there's enough light to support photosynthesis. Although it makes up only 2 per cent of the ocean, it houses around 90 per cent of its known life. Fish, seals and crustaceans all call it home. Sea algae, which makes up 98 per cent of the biomass in the ocean and can grow nowhere else but in the photic zone, is essential to all life. Seventy per cent of the oxygen on Earth comes from ocean algae. Without it, we couldn't breathe. How algae can generate so much oxygen and how that might be affected by climate change, nobody knows. That's part of what the Aquarius aquanauts are trying to find out. They're also trying to crack more mystical marine riddles, such as the secret behind coral's ''telepathic'' communication.
Every year on the same day, at the same hour, usually within the same minute, corals of the same species spawn in perfect synchronicity. Distance has no effect; if you placed a chunk of coral in a bucket beneath a sink in London, that chunk would, in most cases, spawn at the same time as other coral of the same species around the world.
Coral is one of the most primitive animals on Earth. It has no eyes, no ears and no brain. Yet it can communicate in a way far more sophisticated than anyone ever thought.
The release of egg and sperm bundles for external fertilisation is essential for coral's survival. But coral colonies have been dying at record rates. Fifty per cent of the corals along Australia's Great Barrier Reef have died. In some areas of the Caribbean, populations have shrunk by 95 per cent. In 50 years, coral may be gone, and with it one of nature's great unsolved mysteries. For the Aquarius aquanauts researching coral, their work is a race against time.
I'm about to attempt my first scuba dive to Aquarius. As I descend I notice a stream of bubbles belching up from the sea floor. An Aquarius safety diver stands wreathed in the bubbles, beckoning me closer. I kick towards him, duck my head and, a few seconds later, re-emerge in the air of the wet deck at the back of Aquarius.
''Please take off your wetsuit,'' says a man at the top of a metal staircase. Because even the tiniest puddle can take weeks to dry in Aquarius, wet clothes must be left at the door. Clad in a towel, I follow my guide, Peadro, through the deck and into a control room.
The squawk of amplified voices from the PA and blasts of pressurised air echo against the steel walls. A few paces in, I see two men and two women sitting around a kitchen table. They are marine biology graduate students, just finishing up a 10-day mission researching sponges and coral.
''The long days do wear on you,'' says a pallid man named Stephen McMurray who is researching the population dynamics of sponges. He dips a spoon into a cup of instant noodles and looks through a window to the sea floor below. ''Nothing is ever dry down here,'' says John Hanmer, sitting across from him. ''Ever.'' Hanmer, who is studying parrotfish, laughs and looks at his hands.
Another aquanaut, Inga Conti-Jerpe, sits beside him. Her matted hair clings to her scalp like wet plaster. ''The pressure does interesting things to your skin,'' she says with a chuckle.
The aquanauts all laugh, then fall silent. They laugh again, then go silent again. I can't help but feel that everyone down here is a little off. They seem, basically, drunk.
I learn that having your body pressurised to 36psi can produce mild delirium. At higher pressures, more nitrogen dissolves in the bloodstream, eventually producing the same effect as nitrous oxide, or laughing gas. Lindsey Deignan looks especially dazed. ''The longer we're down here, the larger the space seems,'' she says, smiling broadly. ''It's now like triple the size. It's as big as a school bus! But it seems bigger than that!''
Not to me. After leading me three paces east, into the sleeping quarters - two rows of bunk beds stacked three high - and then back into the kitchen, Peadro tells me the tour is over. I haven't spotted a toilet. ''We usually just go out the back there,'' says one of the aquanauts, pointing to the wet deck entrance I just swam through.
Toilets are notoriously difficult to manage in underwater habitats, due to the constant shifts in air pressure, which can create vacuums inside the plumbing lines.
In early underwater habitats, toilets would explode and splatter waste throughout the compartment. Aquarius' tiny commode offers so little privacy that aquanauts prefer to do their business in the water. Even that has its problems. Sea life fights for the human ''food''. On one occasion, a male aquanaut had his bottom bloodied by a hungry fish.
It's time to head back to the wet deck. At 36psi, nitrogen usually takes 90 minutes to reach dangerous levels, but it can happen sooner; to be safe, I'm only allowed half-an-hour on-board. Back on the motorboat, I sit in the captain's cabin. Before I can leave, members of the Aquarius support crew need to dive down some supplies for the aquanauts.
The captain, an intense, sunburnt man named Otto Rutten who's been working at Aquarius for more than 20 years, describes some close calls he's had - rescues in the high seas, explosions, emergency ascents.
''It was really the Wild West out here,'' he says. ''I mean, we weren't even using scuba for a lot of the deliveries.''
He explains that scuba took too long and enabled him to make only a few dives at a time before the nitrogen in his bloodstream built up to dangerous levels. So instead, Rutten and the other crew members would just put on fins and masks, and freedive the supplies down.
Swimming down there while carrying a bulky, airtight container and then coming back would take well over a minute. I mention to Rutten that he and the other divers must have stopped down at Aquarius to take a breath before resurfacing.
Rutten laughs and says that if he had, the high-pressure air would have probably killed him.
It was by stripping off all the gear - the tanks, weights, regulators, and buoyancy-control devices - that Rutten and his co-workers could dive deeper, more often, and four times as fast as someone wrapped in the most technologically advanced equipment.
I ask Rutten if he had any kind of special training to freedive to such depths. ''No, not really,'' he says. ''It's easy. You just take a breath and go.''

At a Trump campaign rally in Las Vegas on June 18, a 20-year-old man, Michael Sandford, struck up a conversation with a police officer, claiming he wanted Trump's autograph, then reached for the officer's weapon with both hands and tried to pull it out of the holster. He says he wanted to kill Trump.
The would-be assassin was quickly arrested and removed by police. Here are important facts you need to know.
Michael Sandford was in the United States ILLEGALLY – He was here on a visa overstay.
Sandford is from the town of Surrey, near London, England. He came to the United States 18 months ago, and overstayed his visa. He had fallen in love with an American girl while she was in England, but she moved back home to New Jersey with her parents. He was so depressed that his parents gave him money to travel to the U.S. to be near his girlfriend. It is unknown if the couple are still together.
Sandford has a disability.
According to his parents, Sandford has a form of Autism, Asperger's Syndrome, an obsessive-compulsive disorder, and anorexia, and is not good at communicating. He left school when he was 15 "because he couldn't cope with it", has no job skills or work experience. His parents have been sending him money, but much of the time they don't know where he is. His father said he is typically a loner, never had friends in school, and has never had any interest in politics or world events.
Sandford's parents had contacted the American Embassy about their son.
The American Embassy KNEW Sandford was in the country illegally on a visa overstay, yet did nothing.
Sandford's father, Michael Davey, said, "He's been refusing to come back and we were worried about him, we were in contact with the American Embassy telling them we were worried about him. The American authorities said, 'He's over 18 we can't do anything.'"
Sandford confessed his intentions.
He told the Secret Service agent who questioned him that he drove to Vegas from Hoboken, New Jersey, with the intention of killing Donald Trump. He had gone to the Battlefield Vegas gun range the day before the rally to practice shooting a gun.
Sandford also told Secret Service Special Agent Jason Swierkowski that he had been planning to kill Trump for a year "but decided to act on this occasion because he finally felt confident about trying it," court documents state. He added that he would try it again if he could. He had a ticket to Trump's next rally in Phoenix in case this attempt didn't work out.
Sandford faces a possible 10-year prison sentence.
Security footage from the event shows Sandford leaving his seat and approaching the officer, grabbing at his weapon. His first court appearance was Monday, June 20, and he remains in federal custody. He was appointed a public defender, who said in spite of his Asperger's Syndrome, he is still able to stand trial. Reportedly, his next court date is July 5.

Orpheum Children's Science Museum
The Orpheum Children's Science Museum is a regional, non-profit, children's organization developed to inspire, engage, and educate children through exploration of science and the arts. As part of this, we are committed being an inclusive organization, reaching out to share our resources with those in the community who have the fewest opportunities. The Orpheum serves more than 25,000 visitors annually, encouraging learning and imagination through play and experimentation.
Located in the heart of downtown Champaign, the 9400 square feet that comprise the Museum' building are made up of hands-on, discovery-based exhibits that reveal fundamentals in mechanics, navigation, anatomy, hydrology, paleontology, and more as well as an historic theater. The Museum's collection of more than 20 permanent exhibits, which appeal primarily to children ages 2-10, is dynamic and growing.
Our theater is an historic community treasure that the Museum is rescuing. As a community based, volunteer organization, we rely on the active involvement of members, donors, foundations, and volunteers. The vitality of our organization is a testament to the strength of these community partnerships. The Orpheum serves local schools by providing field trips and exhibits that are aligned with Illinois State Science curriculum standards. Additionally, we provide camps, clubs, special events, after school, and weekend programs on a variety of topics .

Mercy Hospital continues to stand by its commitment to provide compassionate service to all patients, regardless of their ability to pay. To bolster this effort, the hospital will hold its 10th annual Mardi Gras Masquerade on March 1 at The Chase Park Plaza.
The themed gala raises much-needed funds that help provide health care to uninsured and underinsured residents of St. Louis County, St. Charles County and the surrounding region. This year's event will be no exception, as it aids an important cause for Mercy: the JFK Clinic. Because Mercy has identified a void in dental care access for uninsured and underinsured patients, the hospital will use gala contributions to help integrate preventive adult and pediatric dental care at the clinic. "In many ways, the JFK Clinic is the most basic example of the Sisters of Mercy's mission at work," says clinic manager Mary Anne Gross. "The clinic exists to serve as many patients as we can in a compassionate, healing environment, regardless of a patient's ability to pay."
Dr. Stuart Waite, chair of department of dental medicine and director of the dental residency program, says expanding the clinic's comprehensive medical services to include preventive adult and pediatric dental care, dental hygiene, and diet and nutritional counseling will benefit the patient's overall health. "When preventive issues are overlooked, oral health problems can begin to affect general health. Examples of dental infections such as abscess and periodontal disease are possible links to cardiac issues, diabetes, Alzheimer's and pregnancy complications. Preventive dental care provides the patient an opportunity to make decisions before big problems complicate the picture of their general health."
Through the anniversary gala, Mercy also is honoring longtime co-chairs and Mercy Health Foundation board members Peggy Ritter and Marsha Rusnack. Under their leadership, the Mardi Gras Masquerade has raised more than $4.2 million to support Mercy's charity care programs. "Peggy's and Marsha's service to Mercy through their leadership and vision for the Mardi Gras Masquerade, along with their involvement on the Foundation's board of directors, has been integral to our success over the past 10 years," says Tanya Lieber, VP of Mercy's Health Foundation. "The 10th annual event will truly be a celebration of Peggy and Marsha, and the culmination of a wonderful partnership between two philanthropic community leaders and Mercy."
And Ritter and Rusnack say this year's celebration promises to be bigger and better than ever. The gala is coming full-circle, as its first year also featured a New Orleans'-style Mardi Gras theme—along with special guest Jim Belushi. Another special guest will grace the stage this time around, along with additional surprises, organizers say. The evening will begin with a cocktail hour at 7 p.m. and dinner at 8:15 p.m., followed by a surprise performance, with music and dancing capping off the night. "In 10 years, this event has grown to be one of the most unique celebrations in town," Ritter notes. "Each year, the theme and special performances continue to surprise guests, which is why I think people keep coming back." Rusnack adds that like past events, this year's theme will not disappoint. "The Mardi Gras Masquerade has been a wonderful opportunity for Peggy and me to support a cause we are so passionate about—helping provide superior health care to those in need in our community."

A lot can happen in five years. Just ask filmmaker Chris Paine, who chronicled the death of plug-in vehicles — specifically GM's EV-1 — in his 2006 documentary "Who Killed The Electric Car?" His sequel, "Revenge of the Electric Car," has a much happier ending, now that carmakers have realized EVs make economic as well as environmental sense. Opening Oct. 21, the film has already won its first award, from the Environmental Media Association, putting it on the fast track for Oscar consideration.
"This is such a different movie," says Paine (pictured right). "'Who Killed the Electric Car?' was really about activism and going up against corporate positions. [This time] we made the decision not to make an issue movie but to make a movie about characters." Starting in fall 2007, he focused his camera on General Motors Vice Chairman Bob Lutz, who, blamed for the EV-1's demise, seeks to atone for it by championing the development of the Chevy Volt; Nissan's Carlos Ghosn, who seeks to make an affordable electric car for the masses; Elon Musk, who struggles to produce his pricey Tesla roadster before he runs out of money; and a DIY electric car converter named Greg "Gadget" Abbott, who personifies perseverance.
Allowed inside access, Paine witnesses how crises (stock market free-fall, design glitches, money woes, and for Gadget, a fire) impact the development and production process, and how gas hitting $4 a gallon turns out to be a benefit, skyrocketing demand. But with less than 50,000 electric cars on the road now versus millions of gas-engine vehicles, "It's going to be a generation or two" before the majority shifts, Paine believes. He dismisses concerns some people have raised about the toxicity of electric car batteries. "It turns out that almost all car batteries never end up in landfills. And with the lithium batteries everyone is using now, it's mostly standard materials that you can recycle," he says.
Even though Toyota denied him access for filming, he credits the Prius with "getting a lot of people thinking" about alternative energy cars, "so I give them points for that," says Paine, who drives a Volt, Motor Trend's 2011 Car of the Year. Nissan's Leaf, which won the 2011 European Car of the Year award, has the biggest share of the electric market right now. "There will be a million electric vehicles on the road worldwide by 2015," he predicts, noting that real revolution has to come from both consumers and corporations. "You've got to have protests from the outside to push society in a direction you want, but the other thing you need is people within organizations, innovators working inside companies, to make change."

PHILADELPHIA — An 89-year-old Nazi war crimes suspect died in custody hours before a ruling on Wednesday that he should be extradited to Germany to face trial.
Johann Breyer died on Tuesday night at a Philadelphia hospital, where he had been transferred on Saturday after a month in jail, his lawyer and the U.S. Marshals Service said. His death was disclosed on Wednesday just as Magistrate Timothy Rice approved the extradition request, which would still have needed final U.S. government review.
Rice found probable cause that Breyer was the person being sought by German authorities over his suspected service as an SS guard at Auschwitz during World War II.
"No statute of limitations offers a safe haven for murder," he wrote in his ruling.
Marshals had arrested Breyer in June outside his longtime home in Philadelphia. He was facing charges of aiding in the killing of 216,000 Jewish men, women and children at a Nazi death camp.
"As outlined by Germany, a death camp guard such as Breyer could not have served at Auschwitz during the peak of the Nazi reign of terror in 1944 without knowing that hundreds of thousands of human beings were being brutally slaughtered in gas chambers and then burned on site," Rice wrote.
"A daily parade of freight trains delivered hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children, most of whom simply vanished overnight. Yet, the screams, the smells, and the pall of death permeated the air. The allegations establish that Breyer can no longer deceive himself and others of his complicity in such horror," the judge said.
Breyer claimed he was unaware of the slaughter at Auschwitz and then that he did not participate in it, but "the German allegations belie his claims," the judge wrote.
The 2013 warrant accused Breyer of 158 counts of accessory to murder — one count for each trainload of victims brought to the Auschwitz death camp in occupied Poland from May to October 1944, when he was allegedly a guard there.

Sky Sports Elite League.
Swindon Robins 50, King's Lynn Stars' 43.
FORMER Swindon star Mads Kornleliussen returned to the Abbey in style with a four-ride maximum – but it wasn't enough to stop his old club banking maximum Elite League points from the meeting on Thursday.
The Robins made it three wins on the spin with a hard-earned success on a night when their strength in depth was evident once more.
No.1 Troy Batchelor suffered a host of problems, but this was compensated for by a double-figure haul from his race partner Nick Morris and another spectacular show from Peter Kildemand at reserve, the Dane missing out in just one ride.
Korneliussen won all four of his outings, including the third for double-points, but he lacked consistent support although another ex-Robin, Maciej Janowski, improved as the meeting went on.
Kildemand and Hans Andersen put Swindon in front with a 5-1 over Janowski in Heat 4, and the lead was doubled in Heat 8 when Stars' reserve David Howe crashed, with Morris and Kildemand collecting maximum points in the re-run.
The tactical ride success for Korneliussen cut the gap to seven points, and both King's Lynn riders made mistakes when in good positions in Heat 11 which could have increased the pressure on the home side.
Swindon made sure of all three points when Jason Doyle came good to partner Kildemand to a 5-1 over Howe and Kevin Wolbert in Heat 14.
Korneliussen sat out the final race but his team-mates Janowski and Niels-Kristian Iversen finished with a flourish, although all Swindon required from that race was a third-place finisher which they duly achieved.
SWINDON: Hans Andersen 11+1, Peter Kildemand 10+2, Nick Morris 10, Simon Stead 9, Jason Doyle 5+1, Robin Aspegren 3+1, Troy Batchelor 2+1.
KING'S LYNN: Mads Korneliussen 15, Maciej Janowski 10, Niels-Kristian Iversen 9+2, Daniel Nermark 5, David Howe 4, Kevin Wolbert 0, Michael Palm Toft 0.

note chromatic
In theory, a good optimizing compiler can avoid some of the stack manipulation necessary for naïve C function calls. (Obviously for those externally visible symbols where you must adhere to a platform ABI, you can't get away with this.) Even better, because the C stack isn't heap allocated, you can avoid <c>malloc</c>/<c>free</c> pairs for stack allocated values.

You get at least two drawbacks from this. First, your calling conventions are going to end up looking a lot like C's calling conventions, so you have to go through wild contortions for things like exception handling, tail call optimizations, green threads, and continuations. Second, you're subject to the limitations of the C calling conventions, so maximum stack depth (see recursion and corecursion), thread stack limits, and the safety of extension code written with access to the C stack are concerns.

You have to be a lot more clever to write optimizable code using the heap, but you get a lot of features from avoiding the C stack. To go really fast, you have to avoid copying a lot of memory around anyway, so my preference is to figure out how to optimize heap calls to avoid allocating and freeing unnecessary memory and to put everything into processor registers and keep it there.

I've been coaching retail owners and managers for quite a while now and I can tell you for a fact, the most successful retailers are the ones who recognize that they must constantly educate themselves to stay ahead, grow their businesses, and make a profit.
Let's face it, just operating your business takes a heck of a lot of your time. Things like staying on top of trends, buying smart, training your employees, and planning ahead requires the right information. Since the Business Fairy doesn't come into your bedroom while you sleep and magically input that knowledge in your brain, it's up to you to make time to learn.
Recognizing your, and your employees', strengths and weaknesses is a great start. You personally have some retail strengths or you would not be in business. You hired your employees, hopefully, because you recognized some strengths in them. So, the most important question you must answer is: What are the weaknesses that are getting in the way of my company's success?
Answering that question requires a serious reality check and some ego adjustment. Weaknesses can be found in all areas such as: sales ability, merchandising, hiring, training, business tools such as a POS system, or on-line marketing. Write down all of the specific weaknesses you can think of, and be specific. Then ask your employees to do the same (let them know this is not a test, you are asking for their honest input).
Now that you have the weaknesses list, the next step is do something about it.
There's a ton of information out there to help you succeed. You can find it in bookstores, on line, in seminars and workshops, and in your fellow retailer's brains. You just have to go and get it. That means making the commitment to learn and then acting on the knowledge you have gained.
What you do with your time on a daily, weekly and monthly basis dictates how successful you can be.
Speaking of time and learning, if you are coming to the January Market, be sure to carve out some time to attend the great retail seminars offered through AmericasMart University.
These free seminars are designed to help you stay in business, grow your business and, above all, make money.
Come join me, and the excellent group of presenters at the January Market.
Remember, time is money. It's your time.
Never, never stop learning.

Friday, January 14, 2011- 1 pm "The Dreaded 'S' Word"
Sunday, January 16, 2011- 9 am "So Where's My Profit"

I'm a dork, a goof, a weirdo, and a bit of a bastid (at least my sense of humor). I have a tendency to write too much in these things, but I'll save that for the unfortunate soul that dares message me. :-)
I actually do force myself to make time to enjoy life, and one of my jobs has me going to concerts regularly and it'd be nice to have an excellent companion to fill in my +1's more often.
Most of my work is in music and media, where I find myself as a DJ (radio) and journalist (written and photo), but like most people "in the industry " (bleh), I also hold down a long standing job in food service, because you know, bills, donations, support for others and such. I'm also on a couple of softball teams.
I'm fairly competent where I've applied myself. People seem to appreciate my ear for music and efforts to share. I've been told that I have a unique ability to describe jazz. I also tend to know a lot of music that others don't, even among my peers, but I guess not everyone would consider that a strength.
I also seem to be able to stick to a positive and idealistic outlook.
I'm normally fairly shy in crowds and new situations, but certainly far from it when more comfortable. I rarely try to be the center of attention, but tend to do well when I am.
Movies- I don't really like blockbusters too much. I prefer movies that try to give you a new perspective, or at least make you reevaluate the one you already have. I can, however, usually enjoy a good comedy, thriller, or action movie. Some of my favorites are The Legend of 1900, Vanilla Sky, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Stranger Than Fiction. Also the type to know way too many quotes from movies, particularly comedies.
TV- Never been a dedicated TV watcher, but have watched a bit more in the days of the dvr. I watch too many cartoons, and have a freakish knowledge of Futurama. I keep up with a few of the shows on USA, but rarely like shows that require a real commitment to watch every week. I'm definitely not the type to pass up a social activity because one show or another is on (and honestly, it bothers me when others do).
Music- This could go on forever. A broad list would include jazz, hip-hop, funk, soul, blues, jam, bluegrass/americana, reggae, and selected electronica, but there are so many stops on the musical spectrum worth listening to. Its probably fair enough to say that I really like most music that isn't manufactured by the industry, music as art, not as business, etc. Music is a big part in my life, and is slowly becoming part of my career and lifelong hobbies. I'd be glad to list some of my favorites upon any request, but there's no such thing as a short list when it comes to music.
Food- I'm fairly adventurous. I like foreign foods and trying new things. If i can, I'll try to order something I've never had on the menu before. There aren't many people that want to go out to the places I do, so I usually settle for more simple solutions, but it would be nice to find someone to explore the world of food with.
The freedom to explore/drive
A direction to take my life
A smile
Leaving the 6th slot open, so there's room when I find it :-)
are looking to share your life, your friends, and your time with someone that is looking to do the same thing,
like helping people,
like learning new things,
or like finding the joy in the everyday world.
..you have the chutzpah

Sunset over Island
I don't make a lot of these vertical, portrait-mode sunsets. I don't know why! Whenever I do make one in this orientation, I'm often quite happy with it… and I say to myself, "I should do this more often!" But then I come back after a hardcore sunset session, and I realize 90% of my shots are in landscape mode.
My wife likes these orientations better too. She prefers these to be kind we hang in the house… Maybe this is just because she's heavily into Pinterest! :)

Louis Bullock Makes Another Adorable Face When Getting Picked Up From School (PHOTOS)
Sandra Bullock's too-cute-for-words son was snapped making yet another adorable facial expression when his mom picked him up (literally) from school outside Los Angeles, Calif. on Thursday.For many starlets, it takes years to perfect a pout that comes so naturally to little Louis Bullock.
Dressed in a camouflage jacket with his hoodie up, the tiny tot looked quite comfortable in Sandra's arms. This is just one of many of Louis' pouts and faces. Click the pics to "awww" over Sandy's adorable boy.

The release this morning of data detailing every Whitehall payment above £25,000 is a step towards the culture of public transparency that the previous Government intended to create when it passed the Freedom of Information Act a decade ago.
Rather than waiting for requests under the FOI regime, the coalition Government has committed to releasing this basic spending information proactively, in a format that allows scrutiny by anyone with the necessary time, software and skills.
This morning's data release will be repeated each month, and from January, local government bodies will have to release similar datasets accounting for all transactions above £500.
Some of the frustrations with analysing public data to which journalists have become accustomed were absent. There were no files released as locked PDF documents that are difficult to import into database software, for example.
While each department's monthly spending was released as a separate spreadsheet document, these were formatted in a consistent structure across departments, thanks to detailed Treasury guidance on how to release the data.
Nevertheless, analysing the data still posed significant technical challenges.

Then I went over to the victrola and set it going in a fox-trot, one of my favorites.
It was no fox-trot, nor yet so fast as the Derby record, but most excellent for a mule.
She taught Flo to dance the fox-trot and got Glenn to dance with her.
Never thought you were going to fox-trot backwards all over the fairway.
Dragonfel even tried to do the fox-trot with Dame Drusilda, which greatly delighted Euphrosyne who was among those present.
One-step, fox-trot and a Lulu Fado followed in smooth succession.
And mixed up in it all we discussed the merits of the fox-trot versus the single-foot.
"I think it's what they call a fox-trot," remarked Gordon, doubtfully.
Beverly-Jones took me aside while the others were dancing the fox-trot to the victrola on the piazza.
Since then I've had five lessons, and I can fox-trot in my sleep.

Tint is a throw blanket in a simple and contemporary design made of 100% pure lamb's wool. After the weaving process the wool is brushed, making Tint extra soft and warm.
Tint is available in six stunning colours, and the primary colour of the throw blanket is softened by broad stripes of various lighter and darker shades. In the Tint range you will find clear references to the blue hour, where the light gradually moves its way through the complete spectrum of blue tones and culminates in deep black, or a sunset where the sky changes from the most delicate pastels to a blaze of red tones.
The expression of the throw blanket changes according to how you fold it. In this way, Tint can be used to accentuate other colours in the home.

About the performer
Zero 7
Visit this artist's website: http://www.zero7.co.uk
ZERO 7, aka Sam Hardaker and Henry Binns, released their stunning third album, The Garden, in June. Recorded mainly in the Somerset countryside, at Henry's home studio, The Garden was written and produced by Zero 7 and mixed with Phill Brown (Brian Eno/Talk Talk). Some recording was also done at The Hospital studio in London with Nigel Godrich.
This album sees Zero 7 take a more playful, sunny, upbeat musical direction, while still maintaining their trademark sound and could well turn out to be the perfect soundtrack to the summer.

About Me
I'm a Tampa Bay area photographer whose on-location services include portrait, commercial, advertising, architectural, event, nature and fine art, but my favorite is glamour photography.
I've been a member of Professional Photographers of America (PPA), Florida Professional Photographers (FPP) and the Tampa Area Professional Photographers Association (TAPPA).
I view each photo shoot is a creative collaboration between client and photographer. I will listen to your needs and ideas, and then bring my own creative vision "into the picture" to help you create something beautiful and unique. Not only will we highlight your natural beauty and create art together, we'll have a blast doing it! How can you call it work when it's so much fun?
I began exploring the pin-up, fetish and fine art nude genres about five years ago. If you're an adventurous model in the Tampa Bay or central Florida area and you want to expand your portfolio, give me a shout. I'm a professional, so I conduct myself in a professional manner and expect the same from those with whom I collaborate.
My rates are very reasonable, but if you've got a look or an idea that appeals to me, I'm open to TFP/TFCD arrangements.

Transocean (RIG)
Industry: Oil service and exploration
Market Capitalization: $15.4 billion
Total Return Since 3/9/2009: -5%
Just as Diamond Offshore has faced pressure thanks to relatively cheaper oil prices and pressures on energy demand caused by the great recession, Transocean (RIG) is in the same boat.
But part of the reason that RIG is in the red since 2009's lows — even including dividends — is because of its very public role in the Deepwater Horizon disaster of 2011 that spilled nearly 5 million barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico in the largest offshore oil spill in U.S. history.
The company has tried to move on, including agreeing to a $1 billion settlement a year ago, but the price it has paid was significant at a time when other issues already had created serious headwinds for the energy industry.

There has been a lot of sparring between the bulls and the bears this week about whether the federal election is going to miraculously spur on a wave of spending and deliver Australian retailers the best Christmas in five years.
Credit Suisse has on Friday upgraded its outlook for
The argument is that household savings accounts for about 40 per cent of discretionary spending so it does not take much of a drop to have a big impact on discretionary retail spending. Accelerating housing stock turnover could also be good for Wesfarmers's Bunnings hardware business.
Retailers have been crossing their fingers for an end to the propensity to hoard money in the face of political uncertainty but as comments from Myer chief executive
Despite predictions from some brokers that Christmas will be better than it has in years, the extent that consumers take Hockey's advice remains to be seen.
There are mixed messages. While the National Australia Bank's latest business confidence survey out this week showed business confidence jumped in August, retail recorded its worst result in almost five years.
Then you have the local sharemarket hitting its highest close since June 2008, although a lot of this has more to do with macro-economic factors such as China's strengthening economy and where the currency sits.
The decision to explore the float of consumers electronics chain Dick Smith before Christmas is a huge vote of confidence in the outlook for discretionary spending.
Moderating growth in the mining industry and public service cuts will hurt jobs although a string of mergers and acquisitions and initial public offers are positive. After hearing nothing for months, one friend looking for work has been inundated with calls from recruiters in the days following the election result.
The reality is that there is usually a post-election bounce and it is often short lived. The difference this time is that this time the political uncertainty has been worse than usual over the last two years and it coincides with a global economic recovery. Still, it will take more than a new government to lift unemployment and get the department store tills ringing again.

Veterinarians and Veterinary Medical Educators Focus on Financial Concerns
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 14, 2012
Washington, D.C.
– Veterinarians, veterinary medical educators, and veterinary industry representatives often turned their attention to economic issues this past weekend at the 2012 Annual Conference of the Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges (AAVMC), which was preceded by the second economic summit between the AAVMC and the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), an association of professional veterinarians.
At the conference, held in Alexandria, Virginia, the group looked at current economic challenges to the veterinary profession and veterinary medical education, such as a decline in the number of pet visits despite an increase in the number of pets, higher student debt loads of graduating veterinary medical students as the result of state budget cuts and rising tuitions, and salary and employment trends.
To help address some of the financial challenges, veterinary medical education and the veterinary industry have jointly launched the Partnership for Preventive Pet Healthcare (PPPH) to encourage more veterinary visits. Some schools have also increased their emphasis on teaching preventive medicine. "There is an alarming increase in the incidence of preventable diseases that appears directly related to a decrease in veterinary visits and, as a result, the health of our nation's pets is at risk," said Ron DeHaven, chief executive officer of the AVMA. "We applaud the AAVMC for joining with us in this effort because the veterinary medical profession and education share a vital connection."
The AAVMC is also working to implement a collaborative plan for the future of veterinary medical education, called
The Roadmap for Veterinary Medical Education in the 21st Century: Responsive, Collaborative, Flexible
. That report recommends economic strategies, such as resource sharing and consolidation of efforts through the development of veterinary Centers of Excellence for CVMs and more financial counseling and business education for students.
Another segment of the conference focused on the growing food supply veterinary medicine industry and employment opportunities for veterinarians that go beyond the scope of small animal companion medicine, such as those in food safety and security, animal health and welfare, public health, epidemiology, and research. "The Animal Health Industry is at a crossroads," said Rick Sibbel, the director of technical services for U.S. cattle for Merck Animal Health. "Most of my company's recent hires in the cattle and swine businesses have been veterinarians and I expect that trend to continue."
Valerie Ragan, a veterinarian and director of the Center for Public and Corporate Veterinary Medicine at the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine, said that she sees "opportunities in areas where few or no veterinarians were working five years ago." She said that public practice is "an expanding area in veterinary medicine" and she specifically named opportunities that are emerging in disease surveillance, risk assessment/modeling, and emergency preparedness and response.
Student debt continues to be a problem for graduating veterinarians, but Jim Lloyd, a veterinarian, professor, and associate dean for budget, planning, and institutional research at Michigan State University, reported that, except for a dip in 2011, the salaries of new graduates and veterinarians as a whole have been rising faster than the rate of inflation. He also outlined an array of new loan repayment and forgiveness options, such as debt consolidation, income-based repayment plans, the Veterinary Medical Loan Repayment Program, state-sponsored programs, and the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program.
"For students who really want to become veterinarians, there are options that can enable them to achieve their goals and thrive," said Lloyd.

Tommy Docherty says Bristol City should have made a point at Millwall
Assistant boss Tommy Docherty said Bristol City only had themselves to blame for failing to make a point at Millwall.
Last Updated: 01/01/13 10:59pm
The Robins went down 2-1, and whilst Docherty admitted Millwall were the better team in the first half, he felt the visitors bossed it after the break, Jon Stead levelling after Dany N'Guessen put the hosts in front.
Adam Smith, on loan from Spurs, fired home his first goal for the Lions 15 minutes from time to earn them all three points.
"Credit to Millwall, we didn't turn up in the first half we didn't play in a system that we've done well with away from home," said Docherty.
"In our away game against Ipswich, with that system, we did well, but you've got to pass the ball and retain the ball up top and we didn't.
"We assessed that and made a couple of substitutes before half-time and, I think, after that we were probably the better team.
"At one each I thought that only one team would go on and win that but unfortunately after we've got back we've been undone by the second phase in a set play that ultimately lost us the game and it's a real disappointment.
"I should be sitting here and talking about us taking a point but we didn't and we need to take responsibility for that."

Live edge and finished wood tables on custom steel bases
The materials that I select for my pieces always come with a story. Ok, maybe not steel. But, wood always has a story. The rings tell of years of growth. Good years and hard years.
My Vision
I've always loved making things. I was that kid building forts atop the highest tree in the neighborhood. Using the world around me to create things that made me happy. Pursuing a life of creativity, I graduated with a degree in Fine Arts and Sculpture. And, despite a lengthy detour into design and technology, the Artist in me is alive again. I've begun creating functional art that makes me feel in touch with the world around me again.
I want to create objects that people love and want to keep forever. Hopefully passing them on to new generations with love.
Sustainable Materials
Sustainable materials have been described as "... products that provide environmental, social and economic benefits while protecting public health and environment over their whole life cycle, from the extraction of raw materials until the final disposal."
Using reclaimed or sustainably harvested wood purchased from enviromentally conscious wholesellers helps me stay in synch with that life cycle. Using reclaimed metal for the bases is a bit harder. But, I do my best. Additionally, I try to use non-toxic finishes.
Hand Crafted
From early conversations about a particular piece to the final product, it's all hand crafted. I am personally involved in every step of the process. From sourcing materials to crafting the individual elements that make up the final product.
That said, I have yet to master making screws and other necessary items required to finish most works. Although, learning to forge my own materials is on my bucket list.
Custom Built
I love to solve problems for people. Whether it's how to design and build a functional kitchen island, a coffee table that inspires or an end table that provides that little extra space you want for your book and hot tea. I strive to work with you to create something you'll want to use every day.
I normally start with a conversation about your need. Then with a vision and measurements in hand, I draw up something in 3D, move to materials and finally build. The process requires lots of communication and trust.
Contact me about creating a custom piece for your home or business.
I'm always open to talk about new projects, so don't hesitate to get in touch. My Facebook page for Sean Millis Functional Art is here. And you can follow me on Instagram (@smillis) for weekly updates on custom projects.
