Coming out of the shadows in Virginia
Hello everybody. We ran a repossession company for 13 years and have now moved on to creating software for the repo industry. In a few weeks we will be releasing the first phase of our software that will allow anybody with a smartphone to report the location of any vehicle they desire and hopefully make $20 off of the information they entered. Our smartphone application is just a very simple part of a huge system and it is absolutely free and has no ads just like the rest of the software we will be releasing over the next few months... It has taken us 3 years to create this very ingenious repo system, protect it and develop this technology and when this hits the ground shortly, it will change far more than you can imagine... I would keep your eyes on us as this is what happens when a repo company gets into creating repo software and this is the beginning of a repo revolution... On top of running a professional repo company and raising our kids, my wife and I just created something that will be sick and free... Nice to meet you.
My father started a repo company roughly 13 years ago and when he was part of a repo that went bad and ended up needing surgery that took him down for 6 months, my wife and I stepped up and never looked back. Roughly 3 years ago, I began realizing that there was an abundance of technology available today that is not currently pointing its capabilities towards the repo industry and I have been busy finding every single way that I could change this and now I have created an entire software suite that is about to change the lives of millions of people across the nation and change the way that people think and interact with the repo industry. We are about to give repo companies a brand new piece of software that will allow them to digitally manage their repo work far more simply, easily generate and dispatch routes to field agents, and all around utilize many revolutionary features that are currently unavailable to, and desired by repo companies. We are also about to release a smartphone application that will allow field agents to easily receive and navigate their routes and then interact with addresses and the database like never before as well as automate a process that will allow field agents to create nearly 12,000 different property description, contact and re-run updates that are perfectly worded and punctuated that can be automatically entered into the database and sent directly to the client. Field agents will also be able to complete condition reports by utilizing a simple process on their smartphone and the condition reports are ready to email or fax to the client. Field agents will love what I have just created as this has been my main position for many years and knowing what I am about to do for field agents makes me very excited. This same smartphone application will also have a feature that will allow anybody with a smartphone to easily report the location of any vehicle as a random tip from the comfort of their couch, as a vehicle they currently see and even by simply pulling out their smartphone, taking a photo and walking away and the system does the rest.... Our software suite will also utilize the public information contained in any update generated by any field agent and allow the industry to search for vehicles that are described in the updates so that at any date, the industry can go looking for a vehicle that might have been in a driveway when a field agent created an update using our system. Then we give everybody with a smartphone the ability to report the location of any vehicle and we now have an information system that can be utilized by many industries by tapping into roughly 120,000,000 potential information sources. Any time the location of something is purchased from our system, the smartphone users responsible for supplying useful information will be given $20 and we will pay the first 3 people that supply the same useful information.
This is what happens when a repo company creates software for their industry.... Connect with us and stay up.
P.S. The entire system is absolutely free and comes with no ads, strings or gimmicks...

Prince Harry to Receive Danger Money During Four-Month Afghanistan Tour
The 27-year-old royal will receive £200 in danger money per week for flying helicopters and taking part in combat missions against the Taliban, The Daily Mail reports.
That weekly payment translates to about $320 U.S. dollars, a bonus that will add to Harry's captain salary (roughly $62,000).
The prince reported for duty at Camp Bastion on Thursday night, officially beginning his second tour in Afghanistan.
Harry's four-month stint will consist of serving as a co-pilot and gunner for an Apache attach helicopter, as previously reported.
"Prince Harry, like any soldier, considers it a great honor to represent his country in her majesty's armed forces wherever it chooses to deploy him," a spokesperson for St. James Palace said last week.
According to The Daily Mail, like the rest of the pilots, the tax-free danger money won't be in Harry's hands until the end of his tour.
"Harry has the backing of everyone in the Army Air Corps. He performed very well in training and was too good in the Apache to be ordered to 'fly a desk,'" a fellow Apache pilot told The Daily Mail, adding that the prince will fly his first operational excursion "probably at the end of this week."
Harry's previous deployment to Afghanistan was in late 2007, when he served duty for 10 weeks.


text: I've been wondering about the fit of an overcoat collar in relation to the suit underneath. I've always worn darker overcoats and most of my suits are darker, so I've never given it much thought, but I recently bought a camel colored canali and while it fits great everywhere (i.e. snug, not like a tent) i notice that my suit jacket is usually peeking out from underneath. i can pull the overcoat up over it, but it eventually rides down and doesn't really feel like as natural of a fit. in pretty much every photo i've found, a scarf is involved. unfortunately, i'm not much of a scarf guy. curious about whether folks think it's ok to have the darker suit jacket peeking out, the same as your shirt does under the suit jacket, or should i have my tailor try to make an adjustment. . .i had the sides taken in a bit the other day and he said it's fine, but looking for a second opinion. . .

Ten children were brought to local hospitals Wednesday evening after a sport-utility vehicle that ran a stop sign collided with the school bus in which they rode.
About 4:30 p.m., a Volkswagen SUV on Gravier Street tried to cross South Broad Street when it hit the bus, said officer Frank Robertson, a New Orleans Police Department spokesman.
The bus carried 23 students from Lafayette Academy Charter School, said Mickey Landry, executive director of the Choice Foundation, which operates the school.
The students who went to the hospitals were brought there mainly for precautionary measure, Landry said. The bus driver was also brought to a local hospital after complaining of neck injuries, Robertson said.
None of the injuries were serious, Landry said.
The driver of the SUV was cited for improper starting, Robertson said.

Devon Hunter is not ready to name any top schools, but there is a group that has gotten his attention.
"I'd say Maryland, Virginia Tech, Alabama, Clemson, Florida and Ohio State are standing out," said the 6-foot-2, 206-pound Hunter. "Those are schools I could really see myself being successful at right now."
Hunter, the nation's 3rd-ranked athlete in the 2017 class, visited Maryland this past weekend.
"The trip exceeded my expectations," he said. "The coaches really impressed me and were really serious about me being there. They were really honest with me and told me they just wanted to continue to build a relationship with me. They also told me if I came in worked hard I could compete for a starting spot as a true freshman."
While on campus, he spent the most time with wide receivers coach Chris Beatty.
"We had a relationship when he was at Wisconsin and he's always stayed in contact with me," Hunter said. "He was just real honest with me. He told me I could help change the whole program around and make history at Maryland."
The Indian River standout also had a chance to speak with new head coach D.J. Durkin.
"He basically told me the same thing coach Beatty did," Hunter said. "He told me I was an important recruit for them. He also told me I had a lot of potential and he really wanted me to come to Maryland. I could see myself going back to visit very soon"
Hunter's next visit will be to Clemson
"I've never been down there, so I'm very excited because that was always one of my favorite schools growing up," he said. "I'm looking forward to seeing everything – from the football side to the academic side.
"(Defensive coordinator) coach (Brent) Venables has been recruiting me for a long time and I'm looking forward to talking to him. He's always really excited and I like his enthusiasm. I'm also excited to meet the rest of the coaching staff and hopefully just sit down and get to know them better."
Hunter hopes to narrow his list down to ten this summer. According to him, Alabama, Clemson, Florida, Maryland, Ohio State, Virginia Tech will definitely make that cut.

Since 2003, SensoryEdge has been a leading provider of children's products to homes, schools, hospitals, and businesses throughout the United States. We focus on giving our customer's the items they want and the service they need to get the job done. Our business model is simple - we offer quality products, a variety of payment options, easy to understand policies, and unparalleled customer service.
Before owning a business we were parents of a special need's child. This gave us a unique perspective and accordingly we looked at things a little differently than most business owners. When we look for products to sell, we are looking for items that are not only fun but also functional. We look for products that increase important skills like fine motor, gross motor, and cooperative play. The bottom line is we understand the importance of providing parents, caregivers, teachers, and therapists with the right tools to help children play, learn, and stay focused.
You see, when we had our first child we had no idea what kind of toys we should purchase; we bought toys that we thought were cute or items that had the latest cartoon character on them. When he was two we learned that he had a speech disorder, sensory integration issues, and was possibly on the autism spectrum. As he began therapies to help overcome his challenges, we discovered how truly important it is to have the right Educational Toys and Therapy Based Products.
During those first few years we spent more time in therapy clinics than at home. It was a difficult period of our lives but it taught us so much about our son and how to help him gain the skills he needed to be successful. One thing we noticed was that many of the products his therapists used would benefit all children. We also found we could only purchase many of these products in overpriced catalogs. We wanted to change that for our family and for all the families out there facing similar issues with their children.
With this in mind SensoryEdge was born. We started with therapy products and soon expanded to include products that helped kids in every area of their lives. Our children spent a great deal of time at school, Indoor play areas, and out in the community. Watching them in these environments made us realize how important it is to create kid friendly spaces. As a result of this insight we added lots of kid sized furniture, educational area rugs, play cubes, sensory swings, and other items that fit in homes, schools, daycares, hospitals, and lobbies everywhere.

Band members defend ousted director
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WTVN) -- Several current OSU marching band members spoke with reporters for the first time since Jon Waters was fired as band director. All of them defended Waters and said that the culture was changing under his leadership.
"I came in in 2010 when Dr. Woods was still the director and there was an exponential culture change since that time," said David Pettit, a fifth year student and head drum major in this year's band.
Pettit says he was called into Waters' office shortly after being named head drum major and told that unpopular changes were coming this year and he was asked to help implement them.
"It was a drastic change from the year before he was director to his second year as director," said John Joyce, a fifth year band student.
Joyce says the students were involved in the process to allow them to have some ownership over it.
Zack Nellom, a fourth year student, saw Waters making changes every day. He says the culture was changing to make it a safe environment for students.
"That was his main focus and that's why a lot of students are shocked and frankly confused as to why he's not for one being acknowledged for that and two why was he not helped in his efforts," Nellom said.
Nellom is hopeful that the university will have a change of heart and re-hire Waters, something OSU President Michael Drake has indicated won't happen.
Scott Jones, associate director of the university bands at Ohio State, is one of two men tasked with leading the band on an interim basis. He's focused on making sure the students are taken care of and doing well.
"I'm staying really completely consumed with their well-being and that's a great help in the midst of all of this," Jones said.
He didn't want to talk about the report from the university. Jones said the band won't try to "one up" last year's performances, but will continue to do innovative things this season. He said Waters loved the students.
Some of the current band members expressed concern about the report that led to Waters' firing.
"We're not a bunch of sex-crazed perverts. That's what I want people to know. We're good people," Pettit said.

Janhavi Parikh is an electronics engineer from VJTI, Mumbai, who went on to do an MS in electrical engineering from the University of South California. After some work experience, she decided to go for an MBA from INSEAD before plunging in to the startup world. Her first step here was along with Co-founder Bhavin Badheka in building Aurality, an instant podcast tool. The company saw good response initially and also went on to raise funding from Blume Ventures, Srijan Capital, Google's Rajan Anandan and others.
The team demoed at a few conferences around the globe but the growth hit a plateau at a very early stage. They had to discontinue the product in November 2012 after almost a year of operations. The team decided to take a break and rethink their strategy. The co-founders eventually parted ways amicably and Janhavi took on the responsibility to steer the ship at Aurality. The social gifting space is what she zeroed in on and that is how Giftery came into being.
Giftery started out with the idea of social gifting where users can come on the site and send vouchers from their partner brands.Giftery has arrived at a model of open ended 'Giftery vouchers'. These are basically vouchers of a certain amount and the recipient can choose how to use them. The person giving the gift can give recommendations to add a personal touch but the final call lies with the recipient.
Janhavi decided to enter the gifting space because of a personal need. "Every time I've had to send a gift in the past, it's been really difficult to figure out what to give someone. I think vouchers make gifting simple," she says. Over the months, they've also moved towards gifting experiences as it is a lot more personal. "For instance, if a child wants to give something to his or her mother on Mother's Day we have experiences that can fit the occasion," says Janhavi.
This is a general trend observed across similar gifting startups like Tushky and Poshvine moving completely towards experiences. Giftery hasn't shared any traction numbers at the moment but Janhavi says that they are growing at a good pace month on month.
Janhavi divides the gifting space into two categories:
1) The impersonal gifting space that includes gifting by corporates for employee benefits etc. and gifting by individuals to friends/family who are not very close. The impersonal gifting space is moving towards vouchers or opened ended vouchers like the Giftery voucher more rapidly because of the ease and simplicity it offers to
the sender and the choices it offers the recipient.
2) The personal gifting takes a lot more effort from the giver's side and is usually for occasions like weddings, baby showers, etc. It is typically for spouses or very close family and friends. This personal gifting space is moving towards more speciality gifting like gifting a custom experience, or gifting high-end luxury products.
There are many other players in this space like Giveter, Giftease, Giftology (that closed down), etc. It is a crowded space but taking a top view, it hasn't picked up as one would have expected. Giveter started out as a pure play gifting startup but has branched out into Roposo which is more in the recommendation area.
Janhavi is optimistic about the space and encouraged by the fact that they've had multiple instances where grandparents are coming online to gift experiences to their children. This is testimony to the growing trend of people getting more comfortable with transacting online.
Giftery is a team of four based out of Mumbai, and is finding ways to leapfrog growth at the moment. They have investors still backing them. Rajan Anandan says, "When you back a good founder, they pivot fast and find ways to build a great business."

It was too predictable that Tensai was going to be the opponent for Cena, maybe due to the predictable writing, but also potentially because of the lack of depth on the roster. And the thing with Michael Cole ran for too long. He's not funny, and his rooting for Tensai ruined what was an okay match.
Kane vs. CM Punk was solid as well, but that was also ruined with the AJ nonsense.

Time Warner Cable reportedly is looking to buy Insight Communications, the nation's ninth-largest cable operator, for about $3 billion. Bloomberg says that the deal — which is in the advanced stages of negotiations, according to sources, and could be announced as soon as tomorrow — would be the cable giant's biggest since the nation's No. 2 cabler (behind Comcast) was spun off from Time Warner in 2009. The acquisition would make sense for TWC, which despite its stellar second quarter financially is losing subscribers in its core pay TV business, dropping 130,000 subs in that service during 2Q. Those numbers would get a boost with Insight and its 679,700 basic cable customers in Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio. Carlyle Group took the lead in taking Insight private in 2005; last year, Crestview Partners and MidOcean Partners took stakes.
Time Warner Cable In Talks To Acquire Insight Communications For $3B
7 Comments
Does Time Warner have the MLB Network and NBA TV?
interesting turn of events. Just a few days ago most seemed to think that The Carlyle Group was asking too much at $3.5 to $4 billion in a recent auction.
Now it's dropped down to $3 billion.
Sounds like it's the final chapter for insight after a number of years. First Comcast takes their half of insight and now the rest is gone to TWC. RIP
Dear FCC:
You are the worst organization ever created. You do absolutely nothing to protect the people and do nothing more than come up with ridiculous fines and regulations that do nothing to help people.
Wake up — Sirius and XM merged, and now they hiked prices.
Charter and Time Warner – the worst service providers in history – are gobbling up all the good cable companies so their is no alternative to their complete incompetence. Can one of you tools at the FCC wake up and start looking out for the people?
I guess the saying is true, their are good people on the planet, bad people, really bad people, then those that work for the FCC.
As an Insight customer, all I can say is: "fuck," as I assume this will mean problems for me in the future.
Sorry you said it right. Bigger is NOT BETTER. The bigger the MSO
worse it gets. Trust me Service is marginal, high rates and poor pay for the staff. No wonder the staff moral sucks. I can't wait to retire from this cable RAT race.
Maybe now they can turn their attention to providing subscribers with HBOgo.com.
(Time Warner does have MLB Network.)
Time Warner can't manage the divisions that the have now. The core video numbers speak for themselves. Guy's focus and what market's you have, don't take on more and drive TW further in the dumper.

President Obama today repeated his pledge to start the process of withdrawing U.S. troops from Afghanistan in July, and expressed confidence that the Afghans will be able to take responsibility for their security in 2014.
Whether all U.S. troops can be withdrawn in 2014 remains to be seen, Obama added, saying it depends on how well things are going against Taliban insurgents.
"I'll make that determination when I get there," Obama said at a news conference after a NATO summit.
The president also defended aggressive airport security pat-downs during the news conference. He said they are necessary to protect passengers from terrorists who try to hide explosives on their bodies, such as the "underwear bomber" who tried to blow up a plane last Christmas.
On another topic, Obama again urged Senate Republicans to ratify a proposed arms reduction treaty with Russia.
In meetings earlier today, Obama and NATO agreed to begin transferring security responsibility to Afghanistan next year, a project to be completed in 2014.
Obama also met with Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai, who has been critical of U.S. and NATO military actions.
The U.S. has to be sensitive to Karzai's concerns, Obama said. But Karzai also has to respect the concerns of the U.S. and its allies, given the lives that have been lost and the millions that have been spent in the Afghanistan war.
Some play-by-play from the news conference:
11:48 a.m. -- In an opening statement, Obama says the U.S. and NATO are "united" on meeting the challenges of Afghanistan, including a plan to transfer security responsibility to the Afghans in 2014. Notes that Afghan President Hamid Karzai agrees with the plan, and that the U.S. will remain a long-term partner of Afghanistan.
Obama also discusses new plans for a joint U.S.-NATO missile defense plan, and improved NATO relations with Russia. "We see Russia as a partner, not an adversary," Obama says.
"Overall, this has been an extremely productive two days," Obama says of the NATO summit.
Also, the U.S. host the next NATO summit, in 2012, the president announces.
Question time.
11:55 a.m. -- Margaret Warner of PBS asks about the proposed New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, currently hung up in the Senate over Republican objections.
Obama noted that NATO allies overwhelmingly back the New START treaty, saying it is essential to U.S. and European security -- that includes many Russian neighbors, who point out that without the treaty there is now way to watchdog Russia's nuclear arsenal.
"Ronald Reagan said, 'trust but verify,'" Obama says, invoking a Republican hero. "We can't verify right now."
"This is a classic area where we have to rise about partisanship," he adds.
12:02 p.m. -- Karen DeYoung of The Washington Post asks about Obama's conversation with today with Karzai, who has criticized U.S. and NATO military actions in his country.
Obama notes that Karzai leads a nation that has seen "30 years of war," and is eager to assert sovereignty. He adds that Karzai is the one who suggested the 2014 hand-off date for Afghanistan security responsibility. "We want him to be as assertive as possible," Obama says.
Obama says little about today's conversation with Karzai, but adds that they have "ongoing conversations" and "we're trying to make sure our goals aligned." Says the two have "made progress," despite all the"noise" in the press.
12:09 p.m. -- Adam Entous of The Wall Street Journal asks about the "surge" in Afghanistan, and if plans are on track to start withdrawing troops in July.
Obama basically says yes. He says the injection of 30,000 new U.S. troops has helped create progress in Afghanistan, and "we are in a better place now than we were a year ago" -- and that means we can "begin thinning out our troops" in certain areas of Afghanistan starting next year. Obama cited the July 2011 date in announcing the search plan a year ago.
Getting back to Karzai, Obama says the U.S. has to be sensitive to his concerns and the concerns of the Afghan people. But the U.S. is also making big contributions, and its concerns have to be taken into account by Karzai. This can led to some "blunt" conversations, the president points out.
12:15 p.m. -- Chuck Todd of NBC News returns to START -- is Republican opposition purely political? Chuck also asks about all the hoo-ha surrounding airport pat-downs.
Obama says Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., a key Republican opponent, is "well motivated" and wants to protect American security. Notes that Kyl hasn't specifically opposed the treaty. Obama again ticks off his reasons why START should be ratified by the Senate.
As for airport pat-downs, Obama cites the attempted airplane attack by the underwear bomber of last Christmas; it's important that people with explosives on their persons not be able to get on airplanes. Says security procedures should be constantly evaluated, and he is talking with his counter-terrorism team about them.
12:22 p.m. -- Bill Plante of CBS News asks about the 2014 "deadline" in Afghanistan -- would Obama keep some combat troops there after 2014 if necessary?
Obama notes that Bill used the phrase "if necessary." The president says the U.S. is committed to helping Afghanistan, though he expects the Afghans to be in the security lead after 2014. Says it is quite possible that the U.S. will need a "counter-terrorism capability" in Afghanistan after that. But he notes its hard to say exactly what will be necessary in 2014.
"I'll make that determination when I get there," Obama says.
12:26 p.m. -- A Portuguese journalists asks how the U.S. might help with Europe's economic problems.
Obama says the U.S. should promote economic growth and higher employment, and work with other countries. "We're all interconnected now in a global economy," Obama says.
Obama also praised his Portuguese hosts.
And we're out at 12:32 p.m.

"It's like some secret club. And if you don't know the
password they never let you in."
--a fellow graduate student, a computer whiz, consoling me as I expressed my frustration at all the jargon used by people knowledgeable about computers
A transcript of a recent phone call I made to the Office of Information Technology:
"Help Desk, this is John speaking." [Note: I've changed the names of the OIT workers.]
"Hi, John, this is Heidi McKee. I have a question about Dreamweaver. Is there someone there who can help me?"
"Hi, Heidi. This is Matt. What can I help you with?"
"Hi, Matt. I have FTPed my files over to the OIT server, but when I check on the pages in the browser I get a 404. And I was wondering if I might have made a mistake in the root directory."
"What folder did you put them in?"
"In the public_html."
"Did you set your access parameters?"
"Yes, I did that chmod command in Telnet, and I can see my index_html file."
Phew! Just typing all that jargon gives me a headache. Yet I also feel a sense of pride and, oddly, power that I at least know some of the lingo to be able to ask the questions. But I also feel frustrated and, I'll admit, annoyed about the way computer jargon can be used as a means of intentional or unintentional exclusion.
The people at Help Desk here at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and those who worked at the high school where I taught have been all very helpful, concerned, and considerate, but sometimes I don't think they realize how intimidating and confusing computer jargon can be to people. Because they have an understanding of both the larger systems and how individual programs interact with those systems, they have a frame of reference from which to build and add new experience and information. But those of us starting from virtual scratch have no such framework, so when we hear phrases like root-command pathways, we can become lost quite quickly.
Until recently, when I got lost in the jargon, I just zoned out, excusing my behavior by thinking, "I don't need to understand all this. As long as I can type papers and send emails on these machines, what else do I really need to know?" I never attempted to gain the knowledge that would make the jargon make sense because, to be honest, it just felt like too much hassle, and I think in part, it scared me.
Yet as I explore using the computer for more than a glorified typewriter, email-exchanger, and web-crawler, I realize that I need to learn the computer terminology relevant to the systems and programs with which I'm working. Often to get the help I need, I have to know at least a few key terms to be able to ask the questions. And I'm finding that the terminology, while daunting at first, reduces to a key word or phrase a whole complex series of processes that would take a lot longer to explain. But even as I learn this language, I don't want to forget how much it annoys and intimidates me right now, so that when I incorporate new technologies into the classroom, I will remember to speak with footnotes. That is, I'll use the jargon, but provide immediate and relevant translations.

Apache Geo Map is a script that parses an Apache combined access log for the IP addresses of hosts that have accessed the server. It then looks up a Geo-Tag for those locations and, if successful, it adds them to a data file which the Google Maps API then displays. This plots all unique resolvable hits on a map.

Leather dual-compartment wristlet with zip closures. One chamber features two full walls of card holders the other side has a divider for easy organization. Fits most smart phones.
Free People
This wallet is so cute, I'm really disappointed that I'm going to have to return it. One problem is the zippers don't move smoothly, which is important for a wallet. But the biggest issue is that the card slots are not big enough for credit cards, ID cards, gift cards, etc. I could force them in, but once in, they are very difficult to take out, especially if you have more than one card in on each side. This renders the wallet pretty much useless. I can't see myself fighting with it every time I need to take out my ID or use my debit card. What a shame, as otherwise the design on this is really nice.

10,000 may not be magic number for U.S. troops in Afghanistan
WASHINGTON — The number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan may drop well below 10,000 — the minimum demanded by the military to train Afghan forces — as the longest war in American history winds down, Obama administration officials briefed on the matter said.
Since Afghanistan's general election on April 5,White House, State Department and Pentagon officials have resumed discussions on how many American troops should remain when the U.S.-led coalition ends its mission this year.
The decision to consider a small force, possibly fewer than 5,000 troops, reflects a belief among White House officials that Afghan security forces have evolved into a robust enough force to contain a still-potent Taliban-led insurgency. The small force that would remain could focus on counter-terrorism or training operations.
That belief, the officials say, is based partly on Afghanistan's surprisingly smooth election, which has won international praise for its high turnout, estimated at 60 percent of 12 million eligible votes, and the failure of Taliban militants to stage high-profile attacks that day.
The Obama administration has been looking at options for a possible residual force for months.
"The discussion is very much alive," said one U.S. official who asked not to be identified. "They're looking for additional options under 10,000" troops.
About 33,000 American troops are in Afghanistan, down from 100,000 in 2011, when troop numbers peaked a decade into a conflict originally intended to deny al-Qaida sanctuary in Afghanistan after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
With British and other foreign troops scheduled to depart in lockstep with U.S. soldiers, the size of any residual force could add fuel to a debate in Washington over whether Taliban-led violence will intensify amid the vacuum left by Western forces, as some U.S. military officials expect.
Military leaders, including American Gen. Joe Dunford, who heads U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, has identified 10,000 soldiers as the minimum needed to help train and advise Afghan forces fighting the insurgency, arguing a smaller force would struggle to protect itself.

The Radioactive Waters of Fukushima
Experts expect that the Fukushima Dai-ichi catastrophe in Japan could cause nuclear radiation poisoning worldwide, and workers at the nuclear power plant say death from radiation poisoning is inevitable. A Google search for Japanese nuclear radiation poisoning revealed widespread panic-buying of iodine in the USA, in order to help prevent thyroid cancer.
This commentary is about preventing nuclear radiation poisoning resulting from radioactive water that Japan dumped into the Pacific Ocean. People living on the west coast of the USA are very concerned about millions of gallons of highly radioactive water that has spilled into it.
The risk for radiation poisoning is higher than high, especially in Japan. The danger of radiation poisoning is extreme because the tsunami-damaged nuclear power plant at Fukushima Dai-ichi has been discharging large amounts of water, which was used for cooling reactors, and it's teeming with high levels of radiation.
Water that's charged with high levels of radiation has been spilling unabatedly into the Pacific Ocean as of March 26, 2011.
A Google search for Japanese radiation poisoning opened a March 14, 2011 Fox News report about it. Not only that, but the Google search revealed that the damaged nuclear power plant disaster is causing a panic buy-out of iodine tablets in the USA, as an anti-radiation remedy, over fear of radiation poisoning.
The Japanese nuclear meltdown signaled alarm about global radiation poisoning. Another Google search turned up a quote by the USA Surgeon General, who said, "Be Prepared" while he was in California back in the first part of March. USA Surgeon General's warning terrified Americans, which resulted in a panic buy-out of over the counter anti-radiation drugs because of nuclear fall-out fears
The tsunami-damaged Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant, because of a massive earthquake off the coastline of Japan, has brought about attention to dangers of radiation poisoning.
A Google search uncovered a Fox News report that said nuclear fuel rods were partially exposed, which is why some people in the USA might panic about a meltdown–one that, experts say, would send radiation drifting across the Pacific Ocean.
An untold number of Japanese people were hospitalized for radiation exposure because of the disaster. Some USA citizens are in a panic about radiation poisoning spread in the USA, especially after a series of hydrogen explosions damaged nuclear reactors and put the reactors at increased risk of radioactive core meltdowns, a Google search revealed; in the aftermath of the devastatingly large 9.0 magnitude Japanese earthquake.

It was perhaps inevitable in the wake of the English horse racing steroid scandal, but questions are now being asked in the UK about Australia's wonder mare Black Caviar, the recently retired world champion sprinter.
The Guardian newspaper has reported that it asked the British Racehorse Authority (BHA) to reveal papers which would have shown whether Peter Moody's superstar had been treated with anabolic steroids (which is legal in Australia, although they must not be present in a horse's system on race day) before she raced at Royal Ascot last year.
The great mare was widely reported to have been carrying an injury and won by the narrowest margin of her illustrious career in the Group One Diamond Jubilee Stakes.
But the organisation refused to release documentation, adding fuel to the fire which has been raging in both traditional and social media since the disclosure that Mahmood Al Zarooni, one of Godolphin's trainers, had been using anabolic steroids in the prepation of his horses at Newmarket.
Whilst it is legal to treat horses with the steroids in Australia, it is not in the UK, and Zarooni last week was banned for eight years.
Some British trainers now have concerns over allowing Australian runners in Britain, the Guardian reported, as they believe the benefits of steroid use can last much longer than the drug itself.
Trainers of overseas runners in the UK have to complete a form confirming that the horse has never been given anabolic steroids or outlining the occasions on which such drugs were given. Overseas runners are also subject to routine testing before racing.
The Guardian quoted Will Lambe, the BHA's head of external affairs, saying: "We don't comment on individual cases or details of our dope-testing programme unless the matter warrants a disciplinary hearing.
"There is no evidence to suggest that horses trained from outside Britain competing in this country have done so with the benefit of anabolic steroids. There has been no positive for anabolic steroids. If there was one, the horse in question would be barred from running in the race for which it was entered."

Bay eyes plan to refinance '05 bond
By Dwayne Bremer
Jun 4, 2014, 00:55
The Bay St. Louis City Council on Tuesday again delayed a decision on a measure to refinance a $1.6 million utility bond.
The bond, which the Favre administration obtained in 2005, had four years remaining on its term and a $397,000 payment due at the end of this month.
The council on Tuesday tabled a decision refinancing the bond until after another special budget meeting scheduled for 6 p.m. today.
On Monday, the council debated whether to refinance the bond with a five-year or ten-year term.
Under the five-year plan, the city will pay an extra $197,000 in interest. The ten-year plan would cut the payments in half, but it would cost the city a total of $438,000 extra in interest, officials said.
By refinancing the bond, the city will be able to skip this year's payment, which will provide it with some much needed cash-flow relief.
In addition to the $397,000 payment due in July, the city must also pay by November the remainder of a $500,000 line of credit secured in last December.
Mayor Les Fillingame said Monday that if the city did not refinance the loan, then it would have to raise utility rates by as much as $12 per month per household.
Councilmen said they voted to refinance the bond because of the city's tight budget, but they wanted a plan to pay off the line of credit by November, also.
"I want to make sure we do not have to make another bond next year," Ward Five Councilman Joey Boudin said. "We went up on utility rates last year and we knew we had this payment coming. We are saving some cash now, but we still have to figure out a way to pay the line of credit off."
Fillingame said the line of credit should be paid off if the city receives an expected $170,000 payment from FEMA and generates the expected amount of revenue from utilities in the coming months.
"This is a good management decision," Fillingame said. "If we have the consumption we anticipate, we will have all the funds. If not, we will deal with whatever is left over next year."
After discussing the merits of refinancing the bond on Monday, the council went through the city's budget to see what service and employees could be cut or consolidated.
Boudin said he was "disappointed" that city clerk David Kopf has been absent from budget meetings for the past month.
"Do even have a city clerk right now?" Boudin asked. "We are in the middle of a financial quandary and he is not here."
Three weeks ago, Fillingame told the council that Kopf was taking "some much needed vacation."
On Monday, Fillingame said that Kopf has been absent because of some medical issues.
"When he comes back, we will consider what his future will be," Fillingame said. Kopf was in attendance at Tuesday's meeting.
Councilman Lonnie Falgout said Monday he believes a lot of the problem with the utility fund is the large number of employees being paid out of the utility budget.
Falgout said the utility fund shows an $800,000 payroll, but there are only 14 employees who actually work in utilities.
"If the payroll would be in accordance with where the employees work, then the utility fund would be in the black," Falgout said. "I think we are putting a heavy burden on utility customers by not moving people over to the general fund-side of the ledger."
Fillingame said that all of the employees listed under the utility fund payroll actually work in utilities.
"If that is what the payroll says it is, then it is," he said.
Falgout also quizzed Fillingame about what he believes is "overstaffing" in the city's building department.
"I'm not saying that we don't have good people, because we do," Falgout said. "The fact is, we have almost $200,000 in payroll in that department and we have only generated $40,000 in fees."
Fillingame said he will be moving some employees out of that department to different departments and that the city will continue to cut costs through attrition.
Councilman-at-Large Mike Favre said that despite the financial crunch, he would like to see more police officers on the street.
"When someone retires, can we take that position and move it over to the police department?" he asked.
Ward One Councilman Doug Seal said balancing the budget with adequate services will be a challenge.
"We have a lot of services we need to provide," he said. "Where is the money going to come from?"

A 'full pull' to help kids
Chili contest, antique tractor pull among events planned Oct. 18 for first 'Help A Child' benefit
By PATTI SELLS, News-Telegram Feature Writer
Oct. 12, 2008 - Chilly weather means chili weather, but for folks who need more than cooler temperatures as an excuse to get out their chili pots and savory recipes, how about a worthy cause to cook for.
The first ever Help A Child Benefit to be held Saturday, Oct. 18, at Bartley Auction Complex will feature not only a chili cook-off, but an antique tractor pull and tractor show, live entertainment, Dutch oven treats and an auction, all raising funds for Texas Scottish Rite Hospital, Northeast Texas Child Advocacy Center and The Southern Christian Home for Children.
"We're just trying to help out some children and give them a better quality of life through several different avenues," said Wade Bartley, owner of Bartley Auction, located at 4163 State Highway 19 south. "All three of these charities are to help a child in some form or fashion-offering protection, a home.
"Every dime we raise will be given to help a child in need," he added.
The event is being organized by the Sulphur Bluff and Sulphur Springs Masonic lodges, both of which Bartley is a member.
Scottish Rite is a Masonic-sponsored hospital, explained Bartley, who said he has been helping the children's hospital for several years with a toy auction for kids.
"[Scottish Rite] will receive 50 percent of the funds raised with the other 50 percent divided between the other two (the child advocacy center and Southern Christian Home)," said Bartley, who has been involved with all three agencies for the past five or six years. "I just have a soft spot for children, I guess."
Festivities will kick off next Saturday at 9 a.m. with an antique tractor pull and show. The Lake Country Antique Tractor Association will sponsor this event and there is no entry fee for participants, but donations will be accepted.
The chili cook-off contest is open for public participation with a $500 first place prize sponsored by BT Medical Supplies of Sulphur Springs. A second place prize of $300 is sponsored by City National Bank, and the third place winner will walk away with a $200 prize awarded by AK Gillis & Son Contractors. Those who wish to enter the contest must be registered by Wednesday, Oct. 15. The entry fee is $100.
All-you-can-eat chili will be sold for $5 beginning at 11 a.m. with 2nd Haywood providing the local entertainment during mealtime.
After the judging, samples of the winning recipes will be auctioned.
However, chili isn't the only item included on the $5 menu. Dutch oven peach cobbler prepared by the executive director of The Southern Home for Children from Morrilton, Ark., and sponsored by Crystal Feed Mill will be served, along with ice cream donated by the Southwest Dairy Museum. But if your appetite still isn't satisfied from the chili, cobbler and ice cream, homemade pies will be on the auction block, as well.
"My Momma is making her coconut cream pie, and we'll have pecan pies made by the winner of Best of Show in the Household Arts division of the Fall Festival," Bartley emphasized. "We'll have a variety of things on hand."
Bartley said there has already been "a real good response" in terms of cash donations, services and sponsorships, as well as auction items.
According to Bartley, some of the auction items in addition to the winning chili will be quilts, tools, trailers, furniture such as cedar chest and ladder-back chairs, and even an organ.
There is no admission fee this fun-filled day.
Entry forms for the chili cook-off may be obtained by calling 903-945-2689 or 903-348-1878. To donate an auction item call these same numbers.
Those who can't attend on Oct. 18, but would like to make a monetary donation are asked to call Larry Argenbright at 903-438-4002 or Bartley at 903-348-1878.
"We just want to encourage people to come out," he said. "We're gonna have a day of fun and enjoyment and all the proceeds are going to a good cause."

My name is Stephen Carlson and this is my first article for this site, but hopefully it won't be my last. Last week on my favorite night of the week on my favorite show, WWE Monday Night RAW, I was treated to one of the best matches (and quite possibly the best surprise) that I've seen on a wrestling card ever.
Shelton Benjamin was set to face a wrestler of Rob Van Dam's choice with the stipulation that if Shelton wins he gets a shot at the "Money in the Bank" contract at WWE Backlash, but if he loses he would have to put up his Intercontinental title up instead. I was listening to the Coach's surprisingly good ring announcing while waiting in suspense in to who might be the wrestler.
To be honest with you I was almost positive it was going to be Ric Flair but much to my surprise Charlie Haas' music played through the arena. I commenced to jump up and scream like a little girl and before I knew it the match was underway.
I would like to treat you with some background knowledge on me as a WWE fan. My favorite tag team ever was "The World's Greatest Tag Team" which consisted of none other than the two men that were fighting in the ring, Haas and Benjamin. And when I heard Haas was let go I looked to Benjamin as my favorite superstar.
Anyway, back to the story. After I sat back down I watched in awe as Charlie Haas was continually overpowering and out-wrestling Shelton (which isn't easy to do). Finally Shelton got in the drivers seat and started taking it to Haas in his normal heel fashion. You know the deal - bashing against the steps - when I noticed he was starting to get cocky. He started mocking RVD with a rolling thunder and then started out a 5 star frog splash which Haas avoided. Benjamin saw the move and rolled out of it and went to go pick up Haas in the corner when he was rolled up and Haas picked up the upset win.
It wasn't a very long match, but in the six or so minutes it went on I felt uncontrollable joy that could only be rivalled by Shawn Michaels return to the now. I also walked away from that match with a satisfied feeling knowing that the two most athletic performers in the WWE just gave one hell of a fight. And it turned out to be better then any other match on the whole card.

" Brand: Homedics / Type: Massage Therapy / Dosage Form: Cushion "
'''A very much appreciated Birthday present..'''
I have had this massage cushion for just over six months now. It was a Birthday present from my partner, who knows how much I love a good kneck/shoulder/back massage - I guess that he was getting bored of doing it for me and decided to get me this so that he didn't have to do it any more! I really wasn't expecting such a thoughtful gift from him so the moment that I unwrapped it and realised what it was, I was really, really happy with it and I couldn't wait to try it! After around five minutes of opening it I was using it, and I have used it every couple of days ever since. I wouldn't be without it!
This massage cushion was obviously a gift, so I didn't buy it for my self, although I do think that it is important to mention the cost anyway so that this review is as informative as possible to anyone who is interested in purchasing this product. The massage cushion currently (January 2014) retails at around £49.99 in most stores - currys and Argos, for example. It is available for an impressive £20.00 less on Amazon, and looking online now I can see that it is also currently on offer (£29.99) in a couple of different shops so it's certainly worth shopping around to get your money's worth.
'''Value for money'''
When my partner told me how much this had cost him (he paid the full retail price) I was surprised by how cheap it was, as I had seen some similar ones for around £80 and it looked and felt so well made that I'd assumed it had cost him much more. Obviously fifty pounds is a fair amount of money, but in six months I've definitely got every penny's worth out of it and I think that I will be using it for plenty of years. The cushion is also from a very well known brand, and my Nan has actually got the full massage chair which she has had for absolutely ages and it still works perfectly. The cushion is very good value for money, especially when you think how much a massage at a spa or beauty salon would cost!
'''First impressions'''
This massage cushion comes in a fairly large box. The box is very well made and it has got handles built in to the lid, which I have found very handy as it means that I can transport the massage cushion to family and friends houses (they've all had a go on it!) very easily. The box is informative with a picture of the product and it also has information on what the massage cushion does and on which areas of the body it can be used. Inside the box, the cushion comes packaged in some thin plastic packaging which I found very easy to remove.
There was a large label on the plastic packaging saying that there may be a strange smell on the cushion (I can't remember the exact wording) but that the smell should disappear within 24 hours. There was a very slight smell but this really didn't bother me, as it was just a 'new' sort of smell rather than smoky or anything yucky like that. Inside the box there are simple instructions. The cushion itself is a good size, though not as big as I had expected.
The cushion has a plug attached to it via a long, thin black wire, which came with a cable tie to stop it from becoming tangled up which i think it was good of the manufacturers to include. The plug fits into all of the sockets I've plugged it into absolutely fine - it's not one of those awkwardly shaped plugs! As the wire is long, I don't have to sit right near a plug when I want to use the machine, which isn't that much of an advantage for me as we have around three easy to access plugs in our living room but for people with plugs in awkward places it will certainly be a big advantage.
'''Using the massage cushion'''
This massage cushion is a beige shade and it has got very soft, almost fleecy feel to it, and it has a flap of material over the front of it. I had assumed that this would be the part that I would use to remove the material from the cushion to wash it, however the covering actually isn't removable and this flap of material when flipped up simply exposes a soft net type material which has the two hard parts of the machine, so if you want a more intense massage all you need to do is lift up the flap. I have to be careful when doing this, because unless I pull it right up and fold it behind the machine it can bulk up at the top front part which obviously effects how strong the massage is.
The machine also has a band on the back of it, which you strap to the chair that you're sitting in. This, in my opinion, is fairly useless. For example, if I want a shoulder massage, and strap the cushion to the chair, it just slides straight down so I either need to awkwardly move it into the place I want it then push my weight against it to keep it in place, or get someone to hold it for me. This means that getting it in the right position for a neck massage is very awkward and near impossible.
I have found that the best way to use this when massaging my neck and upper back is to move it the other way around so that it is upright. I had hoped to use it whilst sat on the sofa, however it says not to use the machine on leather furniture and unfortunately my sofa is leather - arghhhh! The machine comes with a little remote control, which is in a little pocket on the back of the cushion. This has a fairly short lead and it always has to be on the right hand side.
The remote has got four buttons all in all: power, heat and then the two massage options. When the remove is powered on the power button will light up blue and when the heat option is on it goes red. Unfortunately, the heat option is not really worth having as it doesn't heat up very much, only to about body temperature and it doesn't make any difference to how the massage feels. The two massage options are both shiatsu massages as you will have guessed with it being a shiatsu massage cushion.
They both go in different ways and it took me a while to find the one which I liked the most. I personally prefer the one which feels like it's rolling and going in circular motions against my back. I also use it on my feet, neck and shoulders. Using this machine is really relaxing, and sitting against it is uncomfortable. There's been a couple of times where one of the hard parts of the machine has massaged right on to my spine which wasn't the nicest feeling.
I have found that it takes a whole to get it in the right position unless I have someone standing behind me, putting it where I ask them to. When I first began using this massage cushion, I would literally be able to feel it breaking up the tension in my back and shoulders, and it was a little uncomfortable at first however this has never caused me any actual pain, it's bearable which I think is good especially if you're sensitive.
My grandmother has got the Homedics full massage chair which cost her a fortune, and she finds it far too rough and the hard parts really dig into her back, however when I took this for her to try she really, really enjoyed it as the hard parts don't dig in, and she was on it for the whole fifteen minutes! Speaking of fifteen minutes, this is the most time you can use it, after fifteen minutes it will cut out, this is for safety reasons, and you then have to wait a while before it will start to work again.
Fifteen minutes is and isn't a lot of time.. if I take this out to a friends house, and let say five friends have a go on it, they won't get much time on it each. However, at home on my own using it, fifteen minutes is plenty of time and feels like a century!
'''Summary - what I like'''
I love how easy this is to use. The remote is easy to understand and it's so quick and easy to plug it in and shove it against a chair and sit back and relax. I also like that the flap can be pulled up and down, as if I want a fairly gentle massage I will leave it down but it I really need a good hard message I will lift it up and it I such more intense. I also like the feel of both of the speeds on my back/neck/feet etc and I always feel more relaxed after using the cushion.
By using this it has got rid of a lot of tension that I had built up in my shoulders so I definitely feel better in my self since I started using it. I also like that this is so portable, it can be moved around anywhere but like I said before it's a shame it can't be used on leather furniture. I like almost everything about it really although there are a few disadvantages..
'''Summary: - what I don't like'''
I would personally like an extra massage option which is a little harsher, I understand why the existing ones aren't too harsh but for someone like me who gets a lot of tension building up I would like a really hard massage but never mind.. I'm not saying that the existing ones are weak but it takes more time for the massage to break up tension than it would if there was a harder speed.
I also hate the fact that the cushion doesn't stay in place and just slides down a chair when I strap it in place, it's annoying and inconvenient. The heat option is also fairly useless, it doesn't produce enough heat to enhance the feeling/experience of the massage at all really.
'''Would I recommend this massage cushion?'''
Yes! It's brilliant, but not completely flawless. Four out of five stars.

usage messages in packages
One aspect of Mathematica packages that seems to me to be poorly
designed is the way package usage messages can cover up a built in
usage messages without any warning. A particularly irritating
instance of this is when a package overloads the definition of a
built in functions so that user receives no information at all about
what happened. As an example compare:
Normal[expr] converts expr to a normal expression, from a
variety of special forms.
load the Combinatorica package:
Normal is a value that options VertexStyle, EdgeStyle, and \
PlotRange can take on in ShowGraph.
Another curious thing. Quit the Kernel and now try again loading the
Combinatorica package in a different way
This time the usage message was not covered up:
Normal[expr] converts expr to a normal expression, from a \
variety of special forms.
I had never realised that one could load directories of packages by
using only small letters as in the above example until I saw Maxim
doing it. This also works:
<< discretemath`combinatorica`
Actually, this is consistent with the documentation which says:
<<dir` , initialize all packages from directory dir,
<<dir`package` , read in a package from the named directory
but I had always assumed that "dir" and "package" actually meant
"Dir" and "Package".

Date: November 20 2012
Penrith have dismissed reports they are trying to lure North Queensland superstar Johnathan Thurston to the club for the start of the 2014 NRL season.
The Queensland and Australia five-eighth is the biggest name off contract at the end of the next season and has given no indication that he will stay with the Cowboys.
Penrith were reportedly willing to offer Thurston a deal believed in the region of $1 million a season to move to Sydney.
However, a statement released by the club on Tuesday denied they were in talks with the 29-year-old.
"The Panthers would like to inform our members that this club will not be entering into negotiations with Australian Test player Johnathan Thurston for the 2014 season," the statement read.
