Manager Bobby Cox did not seem as worried, which is a good sign. Perhaps the competitive Hampton is just not happy that he's not further along in his rehab. Maybe he thinks he should not be feeling any pain at all, when in fact what he is feeling is somewhat normal for people coming back from this operation.
Hampton had Tommy John surgery in September of 2005, seventeen months ago. Most pitchers come back from that procedure within 12-18 months. When Opening Day rolls around, it'll be exactly eighteen months.
With a player as athletic as Hampton, you would think he would be on track to be at 100% at the start of the season. But each player is different in their recovery, and Hampton is simply looking for some good signs.
There are a few scenarios to consider here:
1. Hampton sticks around in Orlando in April at Extended Spring Training to strengthen his elbow and then makes two starts for Richmond - missing only the month of April.
2. Hampton spends all of April in Florida and then takes all of May to make rehab starts in the Braves' minor league system.
3. Hampton misses considerable time (at least half the season).
It's unlikely Hampton would miss more than three months. If he does, there might be reason to wonder if he will ever pitch again. But chances are Hampton's just going to need additional time to strengthen his elbow, whether it's a month or two.
But what happens to this Atlanta rotation if Hampton cannot go on Opening Day? They were counting on him to hopefully make thirty starts and come close to 200 innings. But now that even looks unlikely.
If Hampton only misses the month of April, then the Braves fill-in starter will probably only have to make two or three starts. But if there's a concern Hampton will miss more than four to six weeks, don't be shocked if General Manager John Schuerholz looks around for an extra starter later this month.
But let's look at some of the internal candidates to fill-in for Hampton if he misses time in the rotation.
* Lance Cormier - The right-hander was actually better as a starter (4.31 ERA in 9 games) than as a reliever (5.96 ERA in 20 games) last year. He did particularly well in his five September starts, posting a 3.25 ERA with a 2-1 record. Cormier gave up a couple of runs in his first game a few days ago, but he's got a big supporter in Bobby Cox, who has proclaimed Cormier a candidate for the fifth rotation spot for most of the winter.
* Anthony Lerew - Last year at this time Lerew was actually a candidate to be Atlanta's closer. He went back to Richmond as a starter and struggled for the first half of the season. After a return to Mississippi to work with Kent Willis, Lerew improved and had a 2.13 ERA in his last eleven games. The Braves feel they've straightened out some mechanical problems Lerew had last season and smoothed out his delivery. So he's just got to go out and get people out in March to have a chance.
* Macay McBride - Cox has hinted around that McBride could be an option. It seems that if Hampton had to miss significant time the Braves might then turn to McBride, who was very successful as a starter in the minor leagues. He was the South Atlantic League's Pitcher of the Year in 2002 when he was 12-8 with a 2.12 ERA in 25 starts for Macon. If the bullpen looks solid this spring, it might tempt the Braves to feel comfortable enough with moving one of their most effective relievers in the second half of last season. McBride would really love to start, so this should not be ruled out at all, particularly if Hampton has to miss more than a month.
* Matt Harrison - Cox keeps talking up Harrison, who is the rookie pitcher making the best impression this spring. Harrison is still only 21 years old, but he's coming off a very impressive season in 2006. The lefty was 11-8 with a 3.35 ERA in 26 games between Myrtle Beach and Mississippi. He's very advanced for his age and some more good appearances will give him a legit chance at heading north with the big league club. Harrison has been an unheralded prospect for too long, and he's finally getting the attention he deserves as a very solid prospect. Cox is not afraid to give kids a chance, and if Harrison shows him he's ready Cox might just place him in the rotation.
Those seem to be the top four internal options to compete for a job if Hampton is unable to go on Opening Day. There's still a lot of baseball to be played this month, so there's no reason to panic just yet. But this is a concern. The Braves are counting on Hampton a great deal this season, so if he's not ready the story of who will replace him will be a major issue.
The Braves are fortunate to have four solid arms as potential fill-ins for Hampton, but as always GM John Schuerholz will be on the hunt for a possible trade. With several players on the fringe this spring (Matt Diaz, Tony Pena, Jr., Pete Orr, Chad Paronto) and other prospects that could be dangled (Lerew, Yunel Escobar, Salty?), the Braves have players to offer up if a starter is needed.
But Hampton has to first show what his status is this month. Maybe he will start to have less discomfort in his elbow and have a chance to be ready on Opening Day. But if not, the Braves have to be ready to replace the veteran in the rotation.

Facing TV Problems? Ask a TV Technician.
Please count the number of blinks when it shuts off then reply here to this topic and wait for my reply. Do not open a new question or relist the question.
Thank YouMike
Six blinks means there is a failure on the "A" board. Unfortunately the board is no longer available so individual parts have to be soldered onto the board. A repair shop will charge about $400-$500 to do this. They may have to pull the board out of the Tv, take it and ship it out to a special company that rebuilds these boards, then re-install it after coming back from rebuild. This can take up to 6 weeks.
If you have questions about this answer then feel free to reply here. It may take a few minutes for me to be notified of your reply so please do not start a new question or relist your question.

Listen to someone talk to a prostitute while they fuck (moaning and everything)

We both ended up dying, but I still got the money for the bounty. Good times. Anyone wanna add me on XBOX Live to play some GTA 5, add me my gamertag is Popedamollie

I accidentally run one over as i leave while the other looks on in horror
They chase me for an hour until eventually they catch and kill me
I am wealthy enough to the point where I give large amounts of money to poor players when they do strange things that I request of them.
Im dead serious. This was some crazy sh*t. I was just chillin mindin my business in free roam, then out of nowhere, these 3 Russians pull aside me in this European looking car. And then all of a sudden I am surrounded and these guys are just talking to me in Russian. I thought they were just gonna kill me and that was it. Thats normally what happens 75% of the time when you see someone in free roam let alone have someone pull up on you.
These guys were in all black suits. I was sure I would be dead. But then they just started yellling instructions at me in Russian. I was like "yo I dont understand you, I speakeh no Russian I only speakeh English". I was like do you want $100? I tried giving the guy $100 and he slapped me. Thats when I knew they were serious. One guy then said something I finally understood which was in English, along the lines of "all of your money". I was like huh? Somehow they forced me in to this big ass white van. I dont know how it was there they pulled up in some other sh*t. The van was just there probably.
So we all get in this van and one of them came in the back with me to stay close to me, whatever. But then he starts telling me to turn off my tv because they didnt want me to see where I was going…..I complied. By the time we got there it was 30 minutes later and they told me to get out of the car so I turned my tv on and got out. We were at the very top of Mt Chillad..
They told me that if I that if I didnt deposit $350,000 (all of my money) into all of their accounts they would kill me right where I stand at the top of Mt Chillad. I told them who gives a fck what difference is it go right ahead. lol. The guy was like "I'll tell you why you give a fck". Dude sends me a bunch of snapmatic photos of me (my guy) in front of his apartment. I'm talking creepy ones, some dating back to damn near the release of GTAV:O. There was like over 80 of them. I was like WTF!?? I was so bugged out. They got ones of me doing the most random sh*t. I was like something is up with this. I was so weirded out I gave them all my money…They killed me anyway. After I gave them the money they had me turn my tv off again and drove me into the bay of San Andreas. I drowned.

FC Dallas press release
A letter to the fans
Due to record amounts of rainfall in 2004, FC Dallas fans will have to wait a little bit longer than expected to enjoy the Frisco Soccer & Entertainment Center. Hunt Sports Group chairman Lamar Hunt announced Monday that the opening date of the new stadium for FC Dallas is Aug. 6, and the team will play their first six games of the 2005 campaign at the Cotton Bowl.
Records from the National Weather service show that 2004 was one of the five wettest years in Dallas history. The inclement weather significantly delayed the construction of the new stadium, forcing the delay of the facility's grand opening.
"The original construction schedule had sufficient time built in as a contingency to account for an above-average amount of inclement weather," said Hunt. "Due to record-breaking amounts of rainfall since construction began, we will not be able to meet the intended stadium opening date of June 11."
FC Dallas originally faced the difficult task of opening the 2005 season with an 11-game road trip. What would have been an MLS record for consecutive games away from home has been avoided by moving their first six home games of the new season to the Cotton Bowl, the club's home for eight of the first nine MLS seasons. The new stadium will be available for use after the MLS All-Star break.
"While we will still play the majority of our matches on the road prior to the All-Star break, these changes will provide our squad with a much more equitable schedule than previously anticipated," said FC Dallas president and general manager Greg Elliott. "The team was prepared to face the challenge of what would have been more than a two-month road trip. For competitive reasons, we were not willing to play any additional road matches beyond this already formidable task. In light of the stadium delay, we have asked MLS to move forward and schedule six home matches prior to Aug. 6."
The new 21,193-seat soccer stadium and 117-acre facility will accommodate MLS Cup 2005, major concerts, international soccer matches and high school football. Adjacent to the stadium there will be 17 regulation-sized, tournament-grade soccer fields which will be utilized on a year-round basis.
FC Dallas will begin the 2005 season against the Chicago Fire on April 2. The complete MLS schedule will be announced in the near future.

About the time I sold Mudville, I missed the news that my favorite baseball writer had passed away at the age of 84 — a guy who had influenced the style of my own baseball book enough to rate an acknowledgment in that book. I missed noting it in this blog then, and so I intend to do it now, one year later.
Harris sold his first baseball novel, The Southpaw, while in graduate school at The University of Minnesota and sold it to Knopf (which are both true of me 50-odd years later). He admits that the success novels of Horatio Alger, which he enjoyed as a boy, are more a source for his work than the more estimable Mark Twain, which he claimed was the inspiration for the baseball novel he wrote at Gopher U. His department was American Studies; a department that turned me down when I applied with the intent of studying Alger (I ended up in Learning Technologies, where the seminal novel is Ender's Game). Harris longs for sandlot baseball, which was the only baseball I ever played and is represented in Mudville by a player-led and managed team, though mudlot is a better name for their brand of ball. Heck, he even named his most famous book after a lyric from "The Streets of Loredo." I, too, have a soft spot for old cowboy tunes.
All any of this means is that Mark Harris and I might have gotten along pretty well.
Mark Harris is best known for a four-book series following a baseball pitcher named Henry Wiggen. You might really call them a trilogy with bonus footage, since the third is a short, breezy affair that's more novelty than novel, but the first two are among the finest baseball books you'll read: The Southpaw, the aforementioned Alger-inspired success story, follows the rookie Wiggen as he leads his "Mammoths" (a thinly disguised New York Giants) into a pennant race. The Southpaw is notable mostly for the first-person voice of Henry, who is a tad better educated and smarter than Ring Lardner's Jack Keefe, but mixes up that archetype's classic vernacular with his own brand of savvy humor and wisdom.
When I first read The Southpaw, I marveled that it was really about baseball and not just using baseball as a thematic backdrop for something more profound. I was amused to read later that it was exactly Harris's intention, though he may have failed: he wrote about baseball not as a Malamud-like metaphor for profound themes, but because it was interesting and poetic and compelling and meaningful enough to write a serious book about.
That novel is only surpassed by its sequel. Bang the Drum Slowly is the second volume, and is mostly about Henry's friendship with a bullpen catcher named Bruce who's dying of cancer. The dying athlete story is practically a genre, at least since Lou Gehrig's graceful exit from the game (subject of the movie, The Pride of the Yankees), but if it is, Bang the Drum Slowly transcends it.
Bang the Drum Slowly is also mostly about baseball, and about big league baseball players: young, wildly successful, brash, sometimes ignorant, and rough-around-the-edges. What are they to do with something serious, like a dying teammate? Particularly when it's not a graceful superstar like Gehrig, but a guy who's over the hill, never that great a player, and rough and ignorant even by baseball player standards? The greatness of the book is showing their confusion and intermittent kindness without forgetting (as they can't forget) that there's also baseball to be played. Well, that, and TEGWAR.

Overview Edit
Courts have the constitutional obligation and the inherent power to protect against conduct that impairs the court's ability to conduct their functions.[1] Where "vexatious conduct hinders the court from fulfilling its constitutional duty," courts have enjoined individuals from filing without court approval or placed other severe limits on the ability to file new cases.[2]
The injunction must not, however, effectively deny access to the courts, and the district court must give the litigant notice and an opportunity to be heard prior to granting the injunction.[3] The factors to be considered in evaluating whether to issue a pre-filing injunction are: (1) the litigant's history of vexatious litigation; (2) whether the litigant has an objective good faith belief in the merit of the action; (3) whether the litigant is represented by counsel; (4) whether the litigant has caused needless expense or unnecessary burdens on the opposing party and/or the court; and (5) the adequacy of other sanctions.[4] "Ultimately, the question the court must answer is whether a litigant who has a history of vexatious litigation is likely to continue to abuse the judicial process and harass other parties."[5]

Last week The CW provided us with a batch of stills from the upcoming Episode 19 of "The Vampire Diaries" entitled "Klaus" that showed the oldest vamp known to man in all his 1491 flashback glory, but what everyone wanted to know is what he looks like in the current day. Well, thanks to TVLine, we have a sneak peek of Joseph Morgan's Klaus circa 2011.
Episode 19 "Klaus" (4/21/11 Air Date):
KLAUS IS REVEALED — Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) are furious when they discover that Elena (Nina Dobrev) has defied them both to make a new ally and take control of the plan to out-maneuver Klaus (Joseph Morgan). Disagreement over how to protect Elena leads to growing tension between the Salvatore brothers. Meanwhile, Stefan has his hands full trying to keep a confused and frightened Jenna (Sara Canning) safe.
Flashbacks to 1491 reveal Katherine's (Nina Dobrev) introduction to Elijah (Daniel Gillies) and Klaus, along with the origin of the moonstone curse. Elena learns shocking new information about Klaus' motives. Matt Davis also stars.
Joshua Butler directed the episode written by Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec.

RICOH's NEW BIOMASS TONER ( organic based ink)
RICOH's NEW BIOMASS TONER ( organic based ink)
2009-12-07 at 10:38:20 am #23153
RICOH's NEW BIOMASS
Biomass resources
are organic resources that are biologically reproducible, excluding
fossil resources.
Ricoh has developed a technology to use biomass as a raw
material for resin, the primary element of toner. This technology will
lessen the environmental impacts of toner use—it will suppress the
depletion of petroleum and reduce CO2 emissions through carbon-neutral
Biomass used as primary element of toner
When used
copy paper is recycled, the paper goes through a de-inking process,
which separates the printed toner from the paper. The separated toner is
then merely disposed of—it is either burnt or buried in landfills.
Today's technologies are incapable of recycling the toner printed on
paper.Every year, more than 200,000 tons of toner is produced worldwide.
About 80% of that amount is resin. To lessen the environmental impacts
of toner, Ricoh has been developing biomass toner (*1), for which we
adopted plan-based resin.
The biomass toner requires less
petroleum than conventional toner, and contributes to the prevention of
petroleum depletion. Being carbon-neutral, the biomass toner works to
reduce the net amount of CO2 emitted from the combustion of used
toner.In November 2009, Ricoh released the world's first digital
multi-function copier featuring biomass toner, the "for E toner." (This
product is sold only in Japan.)
Low-temperature fixing and heat resistance—two contradictory
features implemented
Toner must meet a variety of characteristic
requirements. To reduce the power consumption of a copier, the power
required for thermal fixing must be reduced. This, in turn, requires the
toner to be molten at a low temperature. However, toner with a low
melting point has its own problems—it tends to coagulate when stored
under a high temperature, for instance. In this way, low-temperature
fixing and heat resistance hinder each other. This dilemma can be solved
depending on the characteristics of binder resin.
resins have been widely used for molding, but their characteristics are
far from those required for toner resins. Ricoh has thus developed a new
plant-based resin for use as toner binders. It is already in use as
part of the binder for our biomass-based "for E toner."
biomass content of the "for E toner" is 25% (*2). While meeting the
requirements of both low-temperature fixing and heat resistance, the
"for E toner" has the same high performance as our petroleum-based
toner. With the excellent chargeability and fluidity, the "for E toner"
has even attained a higher image quality than conventional toner.
steadily establish technologies and know-how
Ricoh has been
examining many possibilities to reduce the environmental impact of
toner, and considers the use of biomass effective at this point. It
would be too late if we started developing biomass toner after the
seriousness of global warming and petroleum depletion became clear. In
the area of the conventional toner, Ricoh has many proven technologies,
acquired over a very long time. We need to acquire the same technologies
for the biomass toner, too.Ricoh has made an early start in using the
biomass toner in actual products. Ricoh will continue accumulating
technologies and know-how on the biomass toner in preparation for the
full-scale operation in the future, intending to contribute to
preserving the environment.
Ricoh Develops the World's First Biomass
Sustainability is crucial to
society's survival. Ricoh believes that a company must take
responsibility for all the materials used in its products. Ricoh does
this while focusing on two points: minimizing the amount of resources
extracted from the natural world, and finding alternatives to resources
at risk of depletion. Toward this end, Ricoh is actively converting the
materials it uses from non-renewable petroleum resources to reproducible
biomass as well as recycling its products. Biomass plastic has already
being used in some Ricoh products.
In a recent highlight, Ricoh
developed the world's first(*) biomass toner as a genuine manufacturer's
supply item, and released machines that utilize this toner in the
Japanese market. About 80% of conventional toner is petroleum-based
resin. Our new "for E toner" however, has a biomass content of 25% of
the entire mass including the resin.
The "for E toner" will help
reduce environmental impact in the following two ways:
Suppressing CO2 emissions from burning the toner printed on used paper.
toner elements separated from the paper in the paper recycling
2) Reducing the use of depletable petroleum resources
got an early start in using biomass toner in actual products. We will
continue accumulating technologies and know-how on the biomass toner,
with the goal of preserving the environment.

How Its been 1 a week now for 6 weeks....
Be happy you get at least one a week now though. People have had none for weeks one end, myself included. I "only" went 5 weeks without a drop. People have reported their first drop coming from the fixed Lei Shen. Fun times!
oh trust me before the fix I was not getting any lol
When I started the quest I got 3 in 6 weeks, now I'm on 8 since the Lei Shen guaranteed drop, one lucky week changes everything.
Doesn't Lei Shen have a guaranteed drop of those now?
Edit: I misread, my mistake!

Florence may be a small school in a small town in Central Texas.
But to the Florence girls powerlifting team, size is all relative.
The Lady Buffaloes' powerlifting team improved on its mark a year ago with a runner-up team finish Saturday at the Texas High School Women's Powerlifting Association Region 2 Division 3 Championship at Gatesville High School.
"It's a big step for the program, things are going in the right direction," Florence powerlifting coach Beau Barksdale said. "We're constantly setting a new bar for our girls powerlifting team. Next year our goal is to be first."
A year after taking third, the Lady Buffs scored 20 points among five competitors, with all five medaling with top-five finishes, including a pair of silver medals and a gold for 198-pound senior Tori Navarro.
Navarro, who barely qualified for her 198-pound class, lifted a region-best 310 pounds in the squat and 320 in the dead lift while adding 150 in the bench press. This is just a few weeks after she suffered several injuries that kept her from even lifting weights for nearly a month midway through the season.
"I told her, it's time to turn it on, it's time to turn it to the next level," Barksdale said. "She worked hard for two weeks, … and she did what she had to do and put up her best total all year to win it."
Navarro was joined by two second-place sophomores in 165-pounder Amanda Stiles with a total lift of 745 pounds and 220-plus Shelbie Long, who combined to hoist 955 total pounds among the squat, bench press and the dead lift.
Sophomores Stiles and Long, who qualified for state as freshmen, each tried to go up in weight in their final attempts to secure gold, but each came up a little short.
Long successfully put up 400 pounds on her final squat attempt but it was disallowed due to a technicality. Stiles temporarily tied the regional record with a bench press of 165 but Rogers' Celeste Campos put up 170 on her final try and Stiles couldn't lift 175 on her last attempt.
"(Stiles is) going to be a good one in the future, I really think she'll be a powerhouse along with Shelbie," Barksdale said.
Salado also competed but had no one point for the team with top-five finishes.
Gatesville, which had 15 total lifters, finished third as a team at the Region 2, Division 2 championship with 34 points behind champion College Station (43 points) and runner-up Hillsboro (39), also at Gatesville High School.
The Hornets were led by a pair of regional champions in 132-pounder Lita Galdones and 165-pounder Raven Massey with total lifts of 730 and 865 pounds, respectively. Sabra Warren placed second in the 97-pound class with a total of 510 pounds (210 squat, 115 bench, 185 dead lift) as all three lifters qualified for the state meet March 16 in Corpus Christi.
Galdones squatted 260 pounds, benched 145, and dead lifted 325 while Massey squatted 345, benched 165 and dead lifted 355.
The Hornets also had three third-place finishers who narrowly missed out on a spot at state, including 105-pounder Callie Zoeller (525 total), 123-pounder Liz Trejo (650) and 181-pounder Sarah Walker (745).
Lampasas, which finished fifth as a team, had just one state qualifier in Scotti Franklin, who was the runner-up in the 220-pound class with a total weight lifted of 770 pounds (320 squat, 170 bench, 280 dead lift).
Belton, Copperas Cove and Ellison each had boys lifters compete at the THSPA Region 2, Division 1 meet at Dripping Springs Middle School on Friday, but none placed among the top five to earn points.

With all the versions of the Gallardo that Lamborghini made over the course of that model's dozen year lifecycle, we knew the debut of the new Huracán would only be the start. And now we're getting an idea of what Sant'Agata has in store. Before too long, there'll be a new Spyder, and likely a rear-drive version as well. But racing teams are more eagerly anticipating the new competition versions. There's the new Super Trofeo spec racer that Lambo unveiled in Monterey a couple of weeks ago

Lexus Presents " Dark Ride "
It seems that Lexus has a fresh strategy and hopes its new CT200h compact hybrid will resonate with youthful buyers.
In order to do this, Lexus had the wonderful idea of filming "Dark Ride."
For now the piece isn't entire ready, but rumors say that someone is trying to steal Toyota's hybrid technology.
You, along with driver Tony — played by Boondock Saints star Norman Reedus — must keep the CT200h and its hybrid technology.
It seems that, you'll call the shots that help keep the car out of the hands of the bad guys, while Tony uses the Lexus to avoid capture.

OT: ISP trouble
Expand Messages
- FYI... I am having incorrigible problems with my email and their help(less) desk. It has been ongoing ever since their last "improvement" of moving from pop server mail to web-based (Hotmail) email, and countless calls and hours on the phone with them has failed to improve things one little bit. I am at the end of my rope because on a daily basis, people's emails get bounced back to them and I get all choked up and can't send/receive AND the remedies they give me either are inoperable, or WRONG. Like today's: DELETE everything in my Hotmail inbasket - "IT WILL STILL BE IN MY OUTLOOK EXPRESS INBASKET". WRONG!! It's all deleted.
So, just a warning that until I get moved, in the next 3 weeks or so, things are going to continue to be screwed up, and I am truly checking email daily or nearly so, I am still online to the best of my ability, things being what they are, but you might have to "try harder" to get through to me. This has me really, really upset.
Where I am going, I don't think there is MSN, I think there is only a tiny little one-town ISP, and who knows, that might be better than MICROSOFT, the top-of-the-line. Yeah, right.

Live-Blogging Obama's Press Conference
Susan Davis reports on the White House.
President Barack Obama is holding a primetime press conference tonight at 8:00 p.m. EDT to mark his 100th day in the Oval Office.
The president continues to enjoy high marks from the public–61% of people approve of the job Obama is doing according to the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll–better ratings than either former Presidents George W. Bush or Bill Clinton had at their respective 100-day marks.
But significant tests of Obama's administration will unfold in the coming months as a Democratic-controlled Washington attempts to stabilize the U.S. economy, manage the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and pass major initiatives on health care and climate change, among other issues.
The live-blog will begin shortly. In the meantime, check out WSJ's 100 days coverage.
8:01: President Barack Obama takes the mic and says he wants to update on a couple fronts: swine flu is being monitored and everyone should know their government is taking the "utmost" precautions. Schools may be closed. He's requested $1.5 billion in emergency funds to monitor and track the virus and build up anti-viral drug stockpiles. Also–wash your hands, cover your mouth when you cough, don't go to work if you're sick.
8:03: Shout out to Congress and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid for final passage on the budget. Obama touts the housing bill and other accomplishments. "Even as we clear away the wreckage of this recession" we can't return to an economy "that is built on sand." We "have to lay a new foundation for growth." That's what the budget does.
8:05: He says he promised to change policies in Iraq and Afghanistan–and says he is citing the closing of Guantanamo and the end of torture. "I'm pleased with our progress, but I'm not satisfied" overall, he says of his first 100 days. There's a whole lot to do. It's going to take a while.
8:08: First question on the swine flu, is it time to close the U.S.-Mexico border? "This is a cause for deep concern but not panic," Obama says. We need to respond intelligently. President cites public health officials who don't recommend a border closing. It would be "akin to closing the barn door after the horses are out," he said. "The key now is to make sure we are maintaining great vigilance." America: wash your hands.
8:12: Second question on the auto industry: Is bankruptcy the only option for Chrysler, and what about plant closings announced by GM? Obama says he's more hopeful now than a month ago that there will be a deal that "maintains a viable Chrysler auto company." As for GM, there's going to be another 30 days for review. GM has to make tough choices, but they can emerge a "strong, competitive, viable" company. "I would love to get the U.S. government out of the auto industry as quickly as possible," he adds.

13 Mar 099 Taxation Institute calls on Government to minimise impact of tax lawsIn opening the Taxation Institute's 24th Annual Convention in Sydney on 11 March 2009, President Joan Roberts FTIA said that in these tough economic times the Taxation Institute takes some measure of pride in being at the forefront of influencing improvements to Australia's tax policy, its tax laws and their administration.
The Taxation Institute has identified at least 4 major areas of challenge in 2009:
- Tax practitioners will be faced with a developing new regulatory regime and major changes in tax law
- Large corporate taxpayers face the challenge of implementing the uncertain new Taxation of Financial arrangements (TOFA) regime. Experts have already identified a myriad of interpretative, administrative and policy issues needing quick resolution
- The implementation of the carbon pollution reduction scheme will impose further difficulties on affected businesses, in particular high compliance costs in respect of the application of GST to permits
- Small businesses face the challenge of possible changes to the taxation of trusts as well as implementation issues associated with the various stimulus packages.
The Taxation Institute predicts that further impacts are likely when the Government responds to the three completed Board of Taxation Reviews in respect of GST administration, share buybacks and the foreign income tax rules.
"On the horizon sits potentially the greatest catalyst for change to Australia's tax transfer system, the Australia's Future Tax System Review (the Henry Review). The Taxation Institute is actively seeking member input into that process," Ms. Roberts said. "Consistent with the importance of these issues in 2009 and beyond, it is pleasing to see that all these issues will be dealt with at this 24th National Convention."

Arctic cities and local communities are key players in research and innovation
The increasing strategic importance of the Arctic is being recognised within the European Union. In an opinion drafted by Pauliina Haijanen, town councillor of Laitila (FI, EPP), the European Committee of the Regions (CoR) stresses that concerted efforts are needed at local, regional and international level in order to tackle the challenges of the northern regions' specific environmental and socio-economic characteristics.
In April 2016 the European Commission published a communication setting out the basis for an EU policy for the Arctic. Climate change mitigation and adaptation, together with protection of the fragile Arctic environment, feature very prominently in the communication. "One of the biggest challenges is to find a balance between ensuring environmental well-being and exploiting the opportunities afforded by socio-economic development", said CoR rapporteur Pauliina Haijanen.

I am in the U.S. with a student visa. A european company has asked me to do a project for them and get paid. Given the fact that they will pay me from outside of the U.S, is it legal to accept that? Is there anything I have to pay attention to? to make sure I won't get into trouble.

Google and password manager Dashlane today announced a new open log-in protocol, Open YOLO (You Only Login Once), which will make it easier to log into apps on Android.
Open YOLO works with your password manager of choice, and allows you to log into all of your apps at once. Currently, you have to log into your password manager, hope it finds the relevant password, and then wait for it to copy and paste that across.
While it is designed for use with your chosen password manager, currently only Dashlane has announced official support for Open YOLO. As it's open protocol, others will be able to add the feature if they wish.
Open YOLO currently only supports Android, though Dashlane says it sees Open YOLO working "beyond just Android devices." That may mean there's some hope for iOS users yet.

We introduced the Unilever Share-A-Meal Project a few months ago. Since that point, we've made it a priority to share a meal with others. The simple act of sharing a meal can have a big impact on the fight against child hunger. With your help, we hope to inspire others to join the movement and help turn the tables on child hunger in America.
The week of Halloween, I got together with other couples in our apartment complex and neighborhood, and we put together a chili cook off. We invited all of the families in our neighborhood, making sure to invite those who we knew were in need of a little extra help this holiday season.
We had judges, prizes, and a LOT of food for everyone who came! It didn't take a lot of effort to throw together, and it was so nice to know we were helping others and enjoying time with our neighbors, too!
With over 16 million children in america struggling with hunger, one meal can go a long way. There are tons of ways you can get involved, too! Here are some of our favorites:
*Get Your Community Involved: Partner with a local community organization to host community potluck in your area
*Local Food Drives: Organize your very own food drive or utilize the Feeding America online Food Bank Locator tool to get in touch with a local food and volunteer at a food drive.
*Host A Virtual Food Drive: Plan a virtual food drive with measurable goals online using the Feeding America Personal Fundraiser tool and promote participation in your community.

The Oxyride battery, which went on sale in Japan in April, allows users to take about twice as many pictures on a digital camera, according to the Japanese manufacturer of the Panasonic brand.
Tadaharu Taguchi, a Matsushita director, said the battery marks "a major milestone in the battery industry."
Oxyride batteries maintain higher voltage and output longer because the material inside that produces electricity is more concentrated.
Oxyride uses oxy nickel hydroxide, an advanced battery substance, and finer grain graphite and manganese dioxide, allowing them to be packed more closely inside the cell.
Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. Ltd. also developed a way of blending the powder to stuff more into the battery. A production innovation also pours more electrolyte, a key ingredient that leads to longer battery life, into the cell, Matsushita said.
In a recent demonstration of the battery's power, Matsushita showed a Oxyride-powered coffin-like electric car that crawled along the ground for several feet with a woman aboard lying flat on her back.
Reporters were also shown audio players powered by a regular battery vs. Oxyride. The one with Oxyride delivered a stronger, deeper bass, and Matsushita officials said some music experts express a preference for Oxyride.
The growing popularity of digital cameras, portable music players, handheld video game machines and other gadgets, is boosting demand for powerful batteries, Taguchi told reporters at a Tokyo Panasonic showroom.
AA and AAA Oxyride batteries cost about 10% more than regular batteries. In the United States, they will sell for about $3.99 for a pack of four, although prices will vary, Matsushita officials said.
Matsushita, based in Osaka, central Japan, is hoping to sell 100 million Oxyride batteries in the year through March 2005.
Oxyride batteries already comprise about a third of Panasonic AA battery sales, or 7% of the overall AA battery market in Japan. Even achieving 1% market share is considered significant for products like batteries.

Pringles UK thinks that people want their houses to be filled with the scents of potato chips this holiday season, and have released a trio of scented candles to help make it happen.
The new offerings are infused with the aromas of Pigs in Blanket, Cheesy Cheese and Texas BBQ flavored potato chips, resulting in scented advertising that will keep Pringles on the brain until your tastebuds demand satisfaction.
An initial run of only 500 candles has been produced to send out to buyers at large British supermarkets, but a plan appears to be in place to release them "on a mass scale" next year.

Islamabad (AFP) May 19, 2014
Weeks of infighting between Taliban groups have hampered stop-start peace talks with Pakistan's government, sources said Monday, as the insurgents' leader vowed to continue fighting until Islamic law was enforced in the country.
Two factions of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), the umbrella grouping for disparate militant groups, have been locked in bloody clashes since at least March.
The fighting has claimed more than 90 lives in the tribal areas along the Afghan border and has now forced the TTP's commander-in-chief Mullah Fazlullah to appoint a mediator to try to end the feud, militant sources told AFP.
"The infighting has forced the Taliban leadership to postpone peace talks for the time being," a TTP insider told AFP on condition of anonymity.
Another Taliban commander in the northwest confirmed to AFP that "peace talks have been halted until end of differences between the two rival groups".
The development threatens to undermine what little progress has been made in the peace negotiations.
The government of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif began the talks in February to try to end the TTP's seven-year insurgency which has claimed thousands of lives.
Insiders say the TTP feud, which came to light in March, is over command in the South Waziristan tribal area and who has the right to lead the Mehsud tribe, from which the movement draws many of its members.
The conflict pits followers of the late TTP leader Hakimullah Mehsud, led by commander Sheheryar Mehsud, against supporters of Khan Said Sajna.
Hakimullah Mehsud was killed by a US drone last November.
"Differences between the Sajna and Sheheryar groups mean differences in the Mehsud tribe and its continuation is very harmful for the Taliban," the commander said.
Fazlullah, who became TTP chief on Hakimullah's death, has separately vowed to continue his armed struggle until Islamic sharia law is in force across Pakistan.
In a video released by the TTP's media wing, Fazlullah was seen arriving in a training camp somewhere in a mountainous area with around two dozen masked men armed with assault rifles, pistols and rocket-propelled grenades.
"Our jihad will continue until sharia is enforced or we embrace martyrdom," Fazlullah said in the video, urging would-be militants to make contact with commanders.
"We have accepted the writ and power of Allah, and the Pakistan army, intelligence agencies and government will have to accept Allah's writ."
Hardline cleric Fazlullah first rose to prominence as the leader of the Taliban's two-year rule in the northwestern Swat Valley, which featured public floggings and executions.
Fazlullah, who has a $500,000 government bounty on his head, has mounted some brutal and humiliating attacks on Pakistan's military, including the beheading of 17 soldiers after an attack in June 2012.

Amazon could ship as many as 5M Kindle Fire tablets in Q4
As soon as the Kindle Fire was unveiled, I think we all knew this tablet would be popular thanks to the low price. With that low price, we can also bet that the things will be hard to get with tablets being sold out shortly after launch. Analyst Ashok Kumar is now stating that Amazon may move more tablets than previously thought.

Expect the price of super-large LCD screens to slide in 2008. Leading OEM LCD manufacturer ChiMei has begun production of 52-inch panels, making it the first Taiwanese vendor to offer TVs in the size. Its screens have 1920×1080 resolution and a wide colour gamut backlight. The company has also developed the ChroMAXI dual core image processor for improved contrast and black level response. ChiMei believes it can undercut rival 52-inch models from Japanese players Sony and Sharp by as much as 50 per cent.
